The object is simple. Build a 53 man roster out of active (non-injured) NFL players. Each team must be represented at least once. So, anyone want to play us?

QB Drew Brees Peyton Manning Tom Brady (3)

Many people around the NFL whose reports I believe and opinions I respect say that there is an almost 100% chance that the NFL’s schedule will expand from 16 to 18 games in the near future, with some saying it could happen for as soon as the 2011 or 2012 season. Accompanying the expansion would be the shortening of the NFL’s preseason from 4 games to 2. We all know the reasons why this is potentially a good thing, more money, more football. Even as a huge f...

The Red Sox fell to 4.5 games back of the Wild Card today with a 6-4 loss to the Oakland Athletics. I don’t often talk about baseball on here, but the Red Sox are my favorite baseball team and the only sports team I really follow religiously. I am also a fan of the Patriots and Celtics but because I feel I need to stay as unbiased as possible for this site and because I am disappointed with some of the actions the franchise made in the past few years (Spygate), I...

There is always a lot of talk around this time about a potential Homerun Derby curse where a player who wins the Homerun Derby messes up his swing for the second half. The talk mostly comes from fans, but also recently it has been coming from the players, players like Albert Pujols who don’t want to compete. There have certainly been several prominent cases where a player has had a significantly worse 2nd half after winning or doing extremely well in t...

I don’t know a ton about basketball or the NBA, at least not in comparison to football and the NFL, that’s why this site is not called footballandbasketballfanspot (plus it sounds ridiculous). However, I’m pretty sure I’d make a more competent Team President than Minnesota Timberwolves GM David Kahn. I know what you’re thinking, he’s in the NBA, he must know what he’s doing. He doesn’t. Plus, look at his background. He doe...

As coach Herm Edwards once said, “you play to win the game.” That being said, I don’t like the idea that the All-Star Game should decide home field advantage in baseball. Charlie Manuel picked guys like Arthur Rhodes, Hong Chih Kuo, Evan Meek, Michael Bourn, and Omar Infante for the All-Star team, three middle relievers, a pinch runner, and a utility man. And you know what, those moves were pretty smart. Manuel knows his Phillies could get back to the...

With all of the biggest names off the free agent market for now, I think I can officially pick some winners and losers for free agency 2010.

LeBron James- Loser

Yeah, he gets a better shot to win a title, but at what cost? The city of Cleveland absolutely hates him for the unclassy way he went out. Other fans hate his selfishness. Others see him as a cop ou...

I promise this is the last time I talk about LeBron for a while. I’ve said a lot and I will repeat myself here some. People have been trying to compare LeBron to Michael Jordan his entire career. Today he showed that he’s not even half the player MJ was. MJ was a competitor. MJ wanted to be the guy on his team. MJ’s best trait was that he was selfish, at least when it mattered. MJ wanted the...

If I were LeBron James, I would not sign in Miami. Yes, Miami absolutely gives him the best shot to win a championship. However, if he goes there and wins a title, he will forever be remembered as the superstar who could not win until teaming with Dwyane Wade. And if he didn’t win a title, it would be even more pathetic.

If he goes to Miami, he’s going to have to become the #2 guy on that team. That i...

AL MVP: Miguel Cabrera- Detroit

He leads the AL in OPS right now with an OPS of 1.066. He also leads or is tied for the lead in homeruns, RBIs, slugging, batting average, doubles, and he’s 2nd in on base percentage, 3rd in runs, oh, and his team’s in first place in their division.

AL Cy Young: Cliff Lee- Seattle
