Start:
Jay Cutler---Despite clinching 3rd place in the NFC North, the Bears plan on still starting their starters. Go ahead and use Cutler if he's your top quarterback.
Brett Favre---Favre came back to the Vikings to win a championship. Since this is the championship week in most fantasy leagues, he'll be motivated to go out on top.
Sit:
Jets Defense---If the Colts are really thinking of sitting Manning in favor of this Curtis Painter guy, he must be really good.
Terrell Owens---You know how the Bills always lose in the Superbowl. It's no different in the Fantasy Football Superbowl. Sit Terrell, unless you want to come in second.
Pray:
It's the Championship Week. Congratulations on making it this far! Pray that your players catch balls with their heads, your opponent has a Leon Lett moment, and that Janet Jackson's right boob doesn't pop out during halftime of Superbowl Sunday in between the 1pm and 4pm games.

Mark Mangino Disappointed Not to Be Playing in Food-Sponsored Bowl Game
It’s been a few weeks since Mark Mangino resigned from his position as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, but it’s not until now that the effects are affecting him. Mangino always looked forward to seeing what bowl game the Jayhawks would be playing in, hoping it was sponsored by a food-product that would be giving out free samples. Many of the 196 bowl games this season are sponsored by food products: The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, the Papajohns.com Bowl, and the Orange Bowl.
“I was never a big fan of the Orange Bowl” said Mangino while dining at a local KFC establishment. “First of all, our team was never good enough to make such a prestigious bowl game and second, oranges are way to healthy for my diet. The Papajohns.com Bowl was always my favorite because I love greasy pizza.” Mangino commented that when he first started coaching, he thought the food would come in a bowl like the name said.
Mangino is spending his holidays looking for a head coaching or assistant coaching job. He is scheduled to interview with the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns because he likes Cajun food. Nebraska is also a possibility because he’s a fan of corn. Since he’s not a fan of oranges, Mangino is not interested in working for the Syracuse Orange.

Fantasy Football Advice From a Normal Guy, Week 15
Start:
Chad Ochocinco---Chad plans on wearing Chris Henry's jersey so not only will he be getting fantasy points for himself, but he'll be getting 'em for Henry as well. Two for the price of one. Start Ochocinco
Tony Romo---With Romo now being the placeholder, he will get points on all fake field goal attempts.
Sit:
Tim Tebow---Even though everybody is talking about him on the Jacksonville Jaguars, he's still not on their official roster. Sit Tebow.
Peyton Manning---With the Saints losing, Manning will feel the pressure of being the only undefeated team in the league. He probably won't be able to handle it.
Pray:
Pray that your players are from the North. You know how those southerners are when there's an inch of snow, let alone 2 feet

College Bowl Mascot Matchups, December 19-25
New Mexico Bowl: Cowboys (Wyoming) vs. Bulldogs (Fresno State)
Cowboys are used to dealing with animals. They tend to overpower these animals. Meanwhile, bulldogs are small, especially compared to the animals cowboys normally deal with. Remember when Zach Morris in Saved by the Bell stole the bulldog from Valley? If Zach Morris can handle a bulldog, then cowboys certainly can too. Take Wyoming in the upset.
St. Petersburg Bowl presented by Beef O'Brady's: Knights (Central Florida) vs. Scarlet Knights (Rutgers)
This one was tough. We had to do some research to see exactly what the difference is between a Knight and a Scarlet Night. Rutgers is the scarlet knights because their team wore scarlet turbans in their first game in 1869. Meanwhile, UCF became the Knights in 2007. Since Rutgers has more experience being Knightly, we think the experience will pay off. We'll take the Scarlet Knights over the Knights in a close family-battle.
R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl: Golden Eagles (Southern Miss) vs. Blue Raiders (Middle Tennessee)
According to wikipedia, golden eagles can fly up 150 mph. Anytime you can fly, that's a huge advantage. None of us have really seen a blue raider before, so we'll take the speedy animal in a blowout.
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl: Beavers (Oregon State) vs. Cougars (BYU)
Sexual jokes aside, this is one of the best matchups of the first week of the very long bowl season this year. Beavers are very defensive, having the ability to create dams to hide. However, they are quite slow. The cougars will have the size and speed advantage in this matchup. The Cougars offense vs. the Beavers defense will decide the winner. We'll take the Cougs but it can go either way.
San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl: Utes (Utah) vs. Bears (California)
A Ute is a member of an Indian Tribe that habits the Utah area. Meanwhile, a bear is one of the most feared animals around. They are so feared, people are told to act dead around them so they don't attack. The Native Americans have bow and arrows but we don't think they do much hunting in Utah. We think the intimidation factor of the bears will win it for them
Sheraton Hawaii Bowl: Wolf Pack (Nevada) vs. Mustangs (SMU)
The fact that it's a Wolf Pack and not just one wolf is critical in this matchup. Anytime you can have support behind you, it's tough for the competitor to take on the whole. A mustang is a horse. Horses are big animals, but not necessarily known for their toughtness. We'll take quantity over quality in this one. The Wolf Pack will win.

Colts Punter Pat McAfee Says Peyton is a Ball Hog
Pat McAfee's three punt attempts last night seemed to be the last straw for the rookie punter. Only touching the ball three times all game, Hunter was angry that he had to travel all the way to Jacksonville just for that.
"Peyton gets to touch the ball when we run the ball, when we pass the ball, or even when there's a bad snap and he has to jump on it" said McAfee to himself because none of the postgame reporters wanted to to speak to him. "If Peyton was a punter, there would be no way he gets the publicity he gets now as a quarterback."
Manning didn't seem to mind the comments. He said that if he can play a perfect game next week against the New York Jets, McAfee won't even see the playing field, let alone touching the ball. For those playing fantasy football, McAfee should not be starting on your team.

Saint Louis Rams Demoted to I-AA NFL
After an embarrassing 47-7 loss to the Tennessee Titans this past weekend, the Saint Louis Rams are demoting their football program down to the I-AA level. By moving down a level, the Rams will be able to compete against teams that match their talent level: The 2008 Detroit Lions, the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and just about every Oakland Raiders team of the past five years.
“There is absolutely no way we can compete against the top NFL teams because they actually have NFL talent” said an anonymous Rams Representative who didn't want his name public that he worked for the Rams. “By participating in a lower level of football, our salaries will be lower which inturn, will allow us to only charge our fans $4.75 for a hot dog instead of $5.00. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.”

Fantasy Football Advice From a Normal Guy, Playoff Edition (Week 14)
Start:
Tom Brady: First impressions are everything. With Brady’s second kid being born a few days ago, Brady doesn’t want his son to think he’s a mediocre quarterback. Expect Brady to have a nice game.
Terrell Owens: This will likely be the only time Owens will get to play in the playoffs as a Buffalo Bill. Owens will want to put up big fantasy points.
Sit:
Tony Romo: Romo has never won a playoff game in his career. Now that the fantasy football playoffs are here, it’s time to sit him so you have a chance of winning.
Ben Roethlisberger: Big Ben played on Thursday and was terrible against Cleveland. If it’s not too late, sit Ben this week.
Pray:
Pray that your team doesn’t get nervous in the playoffs. Each fantasy week from now on is extremely important. One loss and all that studying of preseason magazines during work hours gearing up for the draft was a waste

Steelers Making it Difficult for Teams to Get #1 Pick in the NFL Draft
Nothing in the NFL is easy, especially trying to get the #1 pick in the draft. With losses to the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, and the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers are killing the dreams of losing teams to get the #1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Teams are doing their best to have the worst record in the league so they can get Ndamukong Suh, but the Steelers are making their lives difficult.
Meanwhile, teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Saint Louis Rams are happy the Steelers aren't on their schedule. With losses by the Steelers to the Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns, the Rams and Bucs are the leading contenders to get the #1 pick in the draft. The two teams have a combined 2 wins, one less than the Chiefs, Raiders and Browns combined against the Steelers alone.

Oakland Raiders Reach 75th Straight Game Without Being Upset
By beating a Pittsburgh team that was favored to win anyway, the Oakland Raiders reached their 75th straight game without being upset. The streak is expected to continue this week as the Raiders are underdogs to the Washington Redskins and thus, cannot be upset.
"We are excited that we haven't lost to a team worse than us in 75 games" said Oakland Raiders Bossman Al Davis. "If we continue to beat the teams we're supposed to beat and lose to the teams we're supposed to lose to, we'll be in good shape to get top 5 draft picks for years to come."
The streak started five years ago. Last season, the Raiders were just 5-11 but won every game they were favored in (which was none.) This year, they are 3-8 but they've been the underdog in all 8 losses. The streak is most likely to extend to next season, as they Raiders will be the underdog in each game so they cannot be upset.

Random I-AA Coach Says He's Not Interested in Notre Dame Job
Monmouth Head Football Coach Kevin Callahan has posted on his web site that he is not interested in coaching at Notre Dame. Callahan has done a mediocre job at a mediocre Monmouth program, and doesn't want to risk everything that he's worked for, just for a job like Notre Dame. While it doesn't seem like anybody is interested in the Notre Dame job these days, the Fighting Irish are still holding out hope that they can hire someone that the rich boosters will approve of.
"We're going to continue to try to find a coach that has some name recognition" said Notre Dame spokesman Brian Hardin. "We're running out of people to request an interview out of, so if you can think of anybody, please start a Facebook group so we can find out about it."
Callahan has coached at the New Jersey school for 17 years without ever being promoted to a better football program than Monmouth. Callahan denied interest in a statement released this morning.
"I haven't even been contacted by Notre Dame because they probably have never heard of me, but just in case I receive a call, I want it to be known that I'm not interested. I appreciate the overrated talent that will be returning for the Fighting Irish and their underachieving results of the past decade. However, I am more than happy to stay with the mediocrity I already have here at Monmouth. I work with a wonderful sales staff that does a great job selling tickets, I live right next to a gas station with a store that's open 24 hours a day, and I'm just a quick drive away from watching quality Big East football at Rutgers. I plan on staying here a long time, or eventually taking a job with a better football program and higher pay than Monmouth."

Colts and Saints Angry the NFL Doesn't Have the BCS System
Undefeated 12-0 New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts are disappointed that the NFL hasn't adopted the unpopular BCS system from college football. The Saints and Colts are the unanimous #1 and #2 teams in every power ranking released by sports web sites this week. If the NFL instituted the BCS, these two teams would play in the Superbowl, while the other teams would play in meaningless bowl games such as the Pro Bowl.
With the NFL having a playoff system instead of the BCS, the Colts and Saints will have to win two games each in order to just make it to the Superbowl. Teams ranked lower in the Power Rankings such as the San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals will have a chance to play the Colts and Saints in the playoffs, having to only beat them once to advance.
If a low ranked team should defeat the Saints or Colts, there will be a lot of controversy with the final power rankings. If the Cardinals should beat the Colts in the Superbowl, who should be ranked higher in the final power rankings? Is an Arizona Cardinals team better than an 18-1 Colts team? According to the Saints and Colts, the controversy could be avoided if the NFL listened to their college counterparts.

ESPN to Stop Following Tiger Woods Drama Because Golf is Not a Sport
Entertainment Sports Programming Network has agreed to stop following the Tiger Woods saga, coming to the conclusion that golf is not a sport and thus, should not be talked about on the worldwide leader in sports. Stations who follow celebrities who are not athletes such as E! will continue to follow this drama-filled story.
"We will live up to our name and follow sports-related stories only" said ESPN Booyah-Master Stuart Scott. "For that reason, we will show poker, fly fishing on Saturday mornings, and figure skating."
Despite the revelation, ESPN will continue to follow golf when athletes participate it in. If Michael Jordan golfs against Charles Barkley, ESPN will follow it. Until then, golf fans will have to turn to E! to keep updated on this developing story.

Fantasy Football Teams Resting Star Players for Playoffs
Fantasy teams across the country are resting their star players in preparation for the fantasy football playoffs, according to ESPN Fantasy Sports Start/Sit percentages. Teams who have guaranteed playoff spots in their leagues are sitting star players such as Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. Most leagues start their playoffs next week.
Resting star players in meaningless fantasy weeks not only give their player's rest, but it prevents other fantasy teams from preparing for them. Teams have learned from previous years where they may have started their star player every week during the regular season, and then lost in the first round of the playoffs.
However, not all teams are resting their best players. Some teams have won five or six straight weeks, and don't want to enter the playoffs on a loss, even if it doesn't mean anything in terms of seeding. Momentum is very important in sports. Of course, there are also those teams who are in the middle of a playoff race, or would like to get a higher seed, and will most definitely start their star players this week.

Fantasy Football Advice From a Normal Guy, Week 12
Start:
Baltimore Defense: The Steelers are starting Dennis Dixon. If your intramural football team was facing Dixon, we'd recommend starting your defense as well.
Tom Brady: The last time the Patriots faced an undefeated team, they went for it on 4th and 2 for no reason whatsoever. Since they're facing another undefeated team this week, the Patriots will likely go for it on every 4th down possible, giving Brady some extra pass attempts. Start him.
Sit:
Anybody on the Texans: Coach Gary Kubiak obviously doesn't play fantasy football because he refuses to name a starter at the runningback position. Stay away from Texans, as Kubiak might actually try to win the game rather than giving his star players impressive stat lines.
Tony Romo: The Cowboys played on Thursday. He won't be playing today.
Pray:
Pray that your fantasy star didn't eat too much turkey on Thanksgiving and don't have a stomach ache for today's games.

Charlie Weis's Approval Rating Dips Below 110%
Public approval of Charlie Weis's approval rating has plummeted from his record high rating of 110% when he was initially hired and said his Notre Dame teams were going to give it 110% on every play, a USA Today/Gallup Poll finds. Despite a recognizable name, there is rising pessimism that Notre Dame's 6-5 record isn't going to get them into the national championship game this year.
Notre Dame fans are divided with many disappointed about the team's accomplishments, while others are disappointed that Weis hasn't turned into a muscular good-looking hunk on the sidelines. By more than 4-1, Notre Dame fans say Notre Dame should try to win football games. Meanwhile, more than 95% of Notre Dame fans say that the team should try to score more points than the other teams.
The poll of 12 adults, taken by people who joined a Facebook group started by the person who created this poll, has a margin of error of +/- a lot of percentage points.

Fantasy Football Advice From A Normal Guy, Week 11
Start:
Maurice Jones-Drew--- Maurice isn't facing himself in fantasy leagues this week so you don't need to worry about him taking knees at the one yard line. He'll want to score this week. Start him.
Bruce Gradkowski---Gradkowski is taking over the Raider's starting quarterback this week. We don't expect you to start him but in case he should do well, we at least want to recommend to start him so I can say "I told you so"
Sit:
Drew Brees----Bench him and let him rest for the playoffs. Once the playoffs come along, start Brees again. He'll be rested and be able to perform better.
Sean Morey---He hasn't had a reception the entire season. Don't expect one in Week 11. Start someone else. I know, big help.
Pray:
Pray that your fantasy players aren't too busy reading the Sarah Palin memoir and remember that they have a game this week.

Michael Crabtree to Holdout Until 49ers Get a Better Quarterback
Just weeks after ending his holdout due to salary demands, Michael Crabtree has threatened to holdout until they get a better quarterback than Alex Smith. Wide receivers need a quarterback to throw to them, else they're useless according to the biggest douchebag in the NFL.
"How am I supposed to live up to my ridiculous salary if I have a Ute throwing to me" said Crabtree. "The 49ers already fell for my first holdout, I'm hoping that they'll get suckered into falling for my trap a second time this season."
There are many quarterbacks that will be available during the off-season for the 49ers but like his salary demands, Crabtree is wanting the very best: Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. Crabtree wants them to quarterback for the 49ers so they can make him look good. Until then, he will be playing Madden and being either the Colts or the Patriots.

Brady Quinn Leads NFL's Biggest Loser Competition
Brady Quinn is leading the NFL's Biggest Loser for the first half of the season, voted upon by Quinn's peers. Quinn has been the dominant loser in the NFL this season. The Detroit Lions are in second place, the referees are in 3rd, and Larry Johnson is in 4th.
"This is definitely a team award" said Quinn who claims he's not that big, only 220 lbs. "To be in contention for a big award like this after playing like shit the past few weeks, I'm honored to be the front runner for such a dignified award. There are definitely many other players who were deserving of this honor so I am truly lucky."
If Quinn should maintain his lead, he will have to give up $10,000 due to an incentive in his contract. If Quinn should win this award again next year, he will have to forfeit $20,000.

There are definitely many other players who were deserving of this honor so I am truly lucky."
If Quinn should maintain his lead, he will have to give up $10,000 due to an incentive in his contract. If Quinn should win this award again next year, he will have to forfeit $20,000.
