Arguably the biggest steal of the draft belongs to the Miami Dolphins.  After witnessing his first two weeks of the season, it's hard to imagine that LOLB Francis Bedell lasted all the way until the 5th round.  Coach Snyder and co. must have been salivating when they saw this guy still available and wasted no time sending his name to the podium with the 145th pick. "When Francis Bedell was drafted, we thought it'd be a year or two before...

With the 23rd pick in this year's draft, Coach Blueprint and the Oakland Raiders went all in on Marshall RB Kenyon Bell.  Looking at his film, Bell fits the mold of preferred backs coach Blueprint has come accustomed to employing.  His mix of power (90trk, 93sfa) and speed (90spd) are impressive alone, but when you add his eye for spotting a crease (82bcv) and ball security (84car), it's easy to see why he was so high on the Raiders draft bo...

MLB Thaddeus Fitzgerald may have the highest ceiling of all season 37 rookies. The 3rd overall draft pick hopes to solidify a Cleveland Brown's defensive unit that is on the cusp of catapaulting the team into playoff contention.  Fitzgerald combines a rare skillset of strength (88pow, 86str), speed (85spd, 90acl) and instincts (92tak, 87pur, 86bsh) to come in as the day 1 starter at the middle linebacker spot. Through the first two games, Thaddeus has...

WR Iran Bodiford may be the most impactful rookie thus far through the first two weeks of the season. He currently leads the league in receptions (17), 3rd in yards (296), T-2nd in yards per game (148) and is T-4th in touchdown receptions (2).  The San Francisco 49ers were so confident in this kid's abilities that they nabbed him with the 14th overall pick in this year's draft.  He has elite speed (95) and acceleration (94). Combine this wit...

The Ballad of Rich Jameson

Rich Jameson had an illustrious football career at the University of Louisville, where he set school records in passing yards and TDs, which led him to be known as the Big King on Campus (BIG KOC).  The game of football came to him with ease, so much so that he was able to be out on the town every night and down a sixer of West Sixth IPA, throw back a few Old No. 7s, slay a college floozy, and be at practice the following morning th...

Season 35 Power Rankings

As always, I have sat down at the end of the season to take a stab at trying to predict the remaining outcomes to figure out who will be playing in the playoffs. Here is my predictions:

Of course I get to deal with tie-breakers with both Cleveland/Oakland as well as Carolina/San Francisco. Since they did not have head to head games ...
