Here is a good push off as you start getting ready for Fantasy Baseball 2026. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

As silly as NFL HOF voting can be (Belichick stuff is a joke), baseball still has the more absurd legacy. Joe DiMaggio was elected in his *third* time on the ballot (not counting the small votes he received while serving his country mid-career). Imagine voting no on DiMaggio.

Bill Belichick won't have to wait long for the HOF nod but it's shameful he has to wait at all. Grossly overqualified. Still in the legitimate discussion for best ever.

Escape Night in the Big 10.

If you have a soul, you love football in the snow. It will be a sin the day they make all games indoors. Don't kill what's beautifully imperfect.

Shedeur Sanders posted an indexed QB rating of 64 (100 is average). The worst QB Pro Bowl pick of the Super Bowl era.

Who's the best active wide receiver in the world right now?

If these Seahawks and Rams played a hundred times, I'd expect a 50/50 split.

Puka and JSN are not human.

This Patriots team has a lot of 2001 vibes.

Sean Payton not taking a 10-point lead feels like an enormous mistake. Backup QB, mediocre weather about to get worse. It didn't help that they called a horrible play on fourth down, too.

This is a good example of how aggressiveness is usually your friend on 4th down, but sometimes you have to take the points. Play the game situation and the weather, too.

I would let Mack Hollins punt it.

This is like a backyard football game.

I don't even remember Big Jordan Humphrey.

I hate when they superimpose the yard markers. Just leave it alone.

Sad to hear of the passing of Skip Karam, the basketball coaching legend from Fall River. Time to re-read the timeless Fall River Dreams. RIP, Skippy.

Let's talk about things I got right and wrong in this NFL season. The NFC audit is below, and you can find the AFC link in the piece. Plenty of hits and misses. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

Start em or Stidham.

That is a lousy way to lose.

When they picked up the blitz figured Buffalo was home.

Denver should call time out and let the defense rest

Taking in Sharks at Red Wings tonight. Hoping for a Celebrini show. Watching him hammer one-timers in practice was ridiculous.

There's this idea that the Jaguars fattened up on cupcakes en route to 14-3; I don't buy it. Jacksonville actually has the ninth-hardest schedule banked, per DVOA. New England (32nd) and Buffalo (31st) enjoyed the easiest slates.

Mitch Trubisky played all game, it didn't matter. No interceptions. When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way.

Tyler Shough is about a week older than Trevor Lawrence, for what it's worth.

Remember when Cam Newton fumbled in the Super Bowl and didn't try to recover it? Good times.

Not going to beat a service academy on a rainy day.

If you want your quarterback to win MVP, acquire Mack Hollins.

For a solid year or so, this was my favorite song. Jangle pop, lullaby rock, and hooky as f. I'm in on any Tanya Donelly thing. open.spotify.com/track/0LmTJN...

Trey McBride’s career: - Kyler Murray: 263 passes, 5 TD, 5 INT - Jacoby Brissett: 119 passes, 10 ID, 0 INT Obviously no one thinks Brissett (a respectable journeyman) is the answer. But Kyler Murray probably isn’t either.

Of all the NFC South seasons I can remember, this is the NFC Southiest.

The NFC South should do the right thing and send the Saints to the playoffs.

Shedeur Sanders throwing to the phone book today. On 17 passes, 10 teammates targeted.

As my buddy Jon Greco just pointed out, it's adorable that the Jets can still get taunting penalties while they're down 25 points.

I've rewatched Mad Men and The Sopranos into the ground. For some reason it wasn't until today that I realized Little Carmine is also the high-rise Doorman. (I did know that Kelly Montisanti is Dr. Faye Miller, though that's not obvious. And Jackie Aprille Sr. is Grama!).

More talk on Trevor Lawrence, likely league winner. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

You can now adjust your T.J. Hockinson projection from almost nothing to nothing.

Trevor Lawrence before the Jakobi Meyers trade: 6.3 YPA, 9 TD, 6 INT, 79.7 rating. Jags went 5-3, 22 ppg. Lawrence since the Meyers trade: 8.2 YPA, 17 TD, 5 INT, 104.8 rating. Jags are 6-1, only loss in overtime, 33.4 ppg, 25+ against everyone.

My friend Tony makes some great points, too. The Rams have Stafford MVP motivation and this is one year where the No. 5 seed is much more important than the 6 or 7 seed. Still, keep your eyes and ears open and your BS detector on full alert.

Heads up on the Rams for Monday, and thanks to my friend @gaberino75.bsky.social for pointing this out: if the Seahawks and 49ers both win Sunday, the Rams would enter Monday's game with no chance to win the NFC West. Sean McVay would have some difficult choices, fantasy managers too.

This is going to be a weird request but stick with me. A male character is upset. He goes to see his mentor and the mentor says, don't worry, we can talk about what you're upset about. I don't know why I can't place it. What is this from?

I guess you can say the Eagles and Giants this week are on the Mendoza Line.

The Colts went from 8-2 to essentially drawing dead before Christmas. Not easy to do. It's a cruel game.

The Week 16 Notebook is ready to serve. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

You like batshit crazy finishes, Week 16 is your jam.

Anyone who's been around the block in competitive environments knows the dirty little secret: losing almost always feels worse than winning feels good.

As you probably suspected, that was the worst Josh Allen fantasy game (not counting cameo appearances) since his rookie year of 2018. Variance is cruel to all of us sometimes.

That's the Dawson Knox experience in a nutshell.
