It’s Time For A Serious Discussion – Goodbye to Tom Brady’s Long Hair
By MattDotRich
Oh Hi,
Come in. Why don’t you take a seat, Are you comfortable? Thirsty? No? Here, take this glass of water just in case you become thirsty.
Listen, I’ll cut to the chase – what I’m about to tell you is pretty serious, probably the most serious, life altering event in the history of your existence. I don’t want to sugar coat it; you’re not going to be happy. This is the type of news that can’t be delivered with a silver lining, because there’s no ray of sunshine in this nightmare.
A nightmare. That’s a good way to look at it, because I’m sure the thought has gone through your mind. You’ve woken in a cold sweat, shrieking at the top of your lungs until you realized the images you saw in your head asnot real, even though the imagery was so vivid that you couldn’t help but have your doubts. Then you went for a brief walk to take some time to yourself to remind yourself that while the world can be cruel, it can’t be THAT cruel.
Unfortunately friend, it can be.
While its partially covered, your nightmare has become a reality:
Tom Brady has cut his hair.
Below I have constructed a tribute to Tom Brady’s hair. It is very emotional.
Feel free to leave your final words in the comments section.
An Open Letter To The Vikings
By MattDotRich
Dear Minnesota Vikings,
I would like to take the time to make a statement on behalf of myself, fantasy owners, Minnesota Vikings fans and also, fans of logic: You have Adrian Peterson on your team.
No, really! You do! Check out, it’s even on your official website! Pretty cool, right? Always nice to have the best running back on your football team, ya know? Gives you all sorts of street cred, ya dig?
Anyways, I mention this to you, because I couldn’t help but notice that you guys seem to continuously forget that. And I get it! It’s pretty hard to not get caught up in all this Tony Gerhart excitement! But I think it might be time to start remembering that you can use Adrian Peterson as many times as you’d like.
Yesterday, for the third time in as many weeks you blew a double digit lead, and I can’t help but think if you’d use the best runningback in the entire league a little more, and a little more consistently things could be better.
I know statistics a real big pain in the behind, but allow me just a moment with some numbers.
In the first half yesterday you gave the ball to Adrian Peterson 12 times, and he gained over 70 yards and 1 TD. At this point you were winning 20-0. So, yay!
But then in the second half you only gave him the ball 5 times (for only four yards), and you were outscored 26-3. This despite the fact that your quarterback is so comically terrible in the clutch that whenever he’s put in a pressure situation my twitter nearly explodes. So, boo!
So It got me thinking – maybe if you kept giving the ball to the best runningback in the entire league, you might be able to hold onto those leads a little bit better.
Actually, I don’t own AP in any of my leagues…..
Please disregard the above. Sincerely,
MattDotRich.

Week 2 Fantasy Football Recap
After week 1, we had a lot of questions about certain players and whether or not they could repeat their performances. Week 2 gave us a hint at some of the answers. Cam Newton IS the real deal. Vincent Jackson IS a top 10 fantasy wide out. Buffalo COULD be legit. Chris Johnson MAY be a bust. The Chiefs ARE that bad.
The Most Added Players this week are:
- Devery Henderson, WR NO
- Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB Buf
- Eric Decker, WR Den
- Ben Tate, RB Hou
- Aaron Hernandez, TE NE
The surprise players of the Top 25 in points last week are:
Keep Your Heads Up Cowboys Fans!
By MattDotRich
Dear Cowboys Fans,
I know things aren’t totally awesome in Dallasville. I mean you have the Mavericks, and Dirk Nowitzki being pretty hilarious for a while but your beloved Cowboys aren’t looking so super-duper. You’re 1-1, but you just edged out a victory against the 49ers who aren’t too great, Dez Bryant has a nagging injury, Tony Romo’s going to try to play with broken ribs which doesn’t sound like a whole mess of fun, and Miles Austin is out for 4-6 weeks.
So ya, that’s not the best news in the history of the world, but THIS IS, so cheer up, guys!
