Let’s be honest. Last year’s Super Bowl … kind of a dud (One combined touchdown? Who do I call about a refund?). If it were an Uber ride? Probably one star—two if we’re being generous. Harsh? Maybe. But we don’t pull any punches here at Rotoworld and…

Fantasy football is, at its core, an exercise in risk analysis. Points are our currency and every article we digest, every podcast we engorge ourselves in, every box score we study is aimed at shining a light on safe, bankable…

I may not look it, but in many ways, I’m a pioneer. Well actually just one way. When I handed off to RotoPat for the start of his afternoon news shift on Monday, he told me I'm probably the first writer to cite Maxim in a Rotoworld blurb. I’m not…

I don’t want to come out and say the preseason doesn’t matter … but does it? I understand it’s a necessary evil that coaches use to evaluate players, but is success in August really that predictive of what we’ll see in the regular season? In most…

There’s a scene in Better Call Saul—a Breaking Bad spinoff centered around conniving lawyer Saul Goodman and however you’d choose to describe Mike Ehrmantraut (Wikipedia settled on “private investigator, head of security,…

I had a particularly gluttonous dog, who I adored, growing up in rural Connecticut. He wasn’t the most cunning canine (in 14 years, he never quite grasped potty training) but Oz did have his moments of inspired lunacy that I…

Best. Hard Knocks. Ever. Antonio Brown, Jon Gruden, Vontaze Burfict … that’s enough, just sign me up. A million times. The only thing that could possibly make this any better is if hometown hero Marshawn Lynch returned for one last season (not a huge…

Oh, the thrill of gainful employment. After months spent navigating the free-agent wilderness, Dallas Keuchel finally returned to the workforce Thursday, ending a lengthy hibernation by agreeing to a one-year, $13 million pact with Atlanta. It will…

Draft season won’t heat up until August but it’s never too early to start plotting your fantasy team’s name. You never know when inspiration might strike. I say this from experience. A quick sampling of some of my fantasy team…

As Lucille Bluth would say, you can always tell a Milford man. A Milford man is neither seen nor heard. In fact, most of the time, you can hardly tell they’re there. Which brings us to baseball’s forgotten team, the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays are…

“I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed.” These were the haunting words of vicious oil tycoon Daniel Plainview in There Will be Blood. I’d wager Adam Gase has a framed photo of Plainview mounted on his office wall. As Gase proved…

Sunburn (and I don’t mean your run-of-the-mill, garden variety sunburn either—I’m talking Kramer-roasting-on-the-roof-level annihilation) was a small price to pay for one of the most thrilling, jam-packed sports weekends I’ve ever been a part of.…
