Steel Kicking
Sunday’s 41-17 home win over the Atlanta Falcons was huge for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tomlin and Roethlisberger passed Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw for most all-time wins as a Head Coach-QB Tandem in Steelers history. They also looked confident and relevant again.

NFL Week 5 Picks Against the Spread
NFL Week 5 As I write this (Sunday morning, October 7), the Giants are basically done after looking like crap at home against the Saints in week 4. Eli looked like crap again and it will probably be another long year for the NYG.

For the Love of the Game: Fantasy Football and Other Soul Crushing Reasons to Keep Watching the NFL
So it's already week 4 of the NFL season. Can't believe we are a month in already. My feelings on the NFL as a whole are very mixed; it's entertaining yet the level of play is poor, the coaching has been really bad across the league and the refs don't seem to know the rules anymore. With all that said, there have been some fantastic finishes and a monster upset (the Bills winning outright while being a 17 point underdog last week).

For the Love of the Game: 'I Am Sad'... and Other Thoughts on the Giants' 2018 Season So Far
I am a fan of the New York Giants and I am sad; I am sad that this season has not started out the way I thought and it looks like it's already over for the Giants before it even got started.I bought into the "revamped" offensive line. I bought into the fact that Eli Manning still had something in the tank. I bought into the fact that a coaching change would be a difference; that anyone is better than that ass-hat Ben McAdoo. I thought the Giants, with shiny offensive weapons such as Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr., would lead the Giants to be closer to the 11-5 team of two years ago than the 3-13 team from last year.Well it looks like I was WRONG—very, very wrong.

Eight Week 3 Wide Receivers to Draft in DraftKings
You hopefully made good money last week if you went with Adam Thielen, Ty Hilton, Golden Tate, JuJu or Allen Robinson; however, Odell, Demaryius Thomas, and Ted Ginn Jr all flopped while Julio Jones, Tyreek Hill, and Mike Evans weren't as avoidable as we had thought. Sorry. But welcome to a new week and all the ways to win a million are available again. We've already covered three quarterbacks and five running backs and today we are covering the eight wide receivers. Undoubtedly the heart and soul of your team, your four (yes four) wide receivers will be the bread and butter of your winning line up. Cutting costs at other positions and paying for premium running backs leaves about $6,000 for all four spots; so you will once again need to get creative in your flex if you overspend at WR1 and WR2. Every dollar here counts. Here are eight wide receivers to pick n choose from and three to avoid.

The G.O.A.T.
This was written a week before Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl...AGAIN! Let me start by saying I hate Tom Brady and I hate the New England Patriots. Ok, hate is a strong word. I have a hatred for Tom Brady and the Patriots. Why? Because all they do is win! When Brady was suspended four games, my first thought was, “Yes, that should be four losses and now some other teams may have a chance.” Fat chance...the Patriots won three of the four games without Brady.
