Guaran-Sheed Wednesday is here again which means another great opportunity for you to get in on some great free picks for tonight’s games. Sheed and myself have gone over these picks with a fine tooth comb and have deemed them worthy of being “Guaran-Sheed.” If you already know what a guaran-sheed is then thank you for reading my column in the past, if this is your first time reading it, a Guaran-Sheed is something that is guaranteed to the power of 47. While Rasheed may not be great at math, we are pretty sure to the power of 47 is much greater than just any regular guarantee. Read More

After a slow Presidents’ Day hockey-wise with only 2 games played, we get a full slate of NHL action, with 11 games being played tonight. Looking back at those two games on Presidents’ Day, I don’t quite understand why there have been so many blowouts this year when I otherwise thought they’d be pretty good games. It’s really been bugging me, both as just something I find a bit puzzling and something that’s been hurting my fantasy teams a bit. The Islanders, who had been playing pretty well lately, got blown away by Ottawa on Long Island. Ottawa has also been playing well, but had been up and down for parts of January and February. I could see Ottawa winning, but would have never expected 6-0. Then, Carolina crushes Washington 5-0 in Carolina. That I could see a little more, as Washington’s been struggling while Carolina’s been doing very well lately. But, still Carolina has been one of the weaker teams in the league defensively until very, very recently, so a 5-0 shutout of a Washington team that has been rather high-scoring in recent years is a bit perplexing to me. I guess that’s why you have to keep paying attention to recent form in sports. Still, even considering recent form, I would have never expected such lopsided shutouts. I don’t really know what there is to learn from it, other than that we can never really be 100% certain or even around 75% accurate in our projections. The best we can really hope for is somewhere around 60 to 70% accuracy in our general projections. Nonetheless, I will still try in vain to perfectly project the future of about 20-30 players that I think will greatly help your fantasy teams tonight! Read More

I suck at math. Honestly, I was always quick with math in school. I used to think it was my best subject. My math score on the SAT was solid. I aced Calculus in college and proceeded to forget every irrelevant formula I had ever been exposed to. A week ago, this forgetfulness was never more evident. I suck at math. I took the GMAT, and the GMAT Quantitative section won. I assumed things would be similar to the SAT. I bought a book, looked over it the night before, and went into the exam thinking it was high school all over again. As I clicked submit and saw my score, I was convinced I’m perhaps the dumbest person on the planet. Math sucks. I suck at math. But math with daily fantasy sports? I guess I could get behind that.

With Daily Fantasy Golf now underway on DraftStreet, I thought I’d share a few tips I’ve picked up throughout my play on DraftStreet. Hopefully the potpourri bag of tips below will help out the Grinders who are newer to golf, based on my experiences playing on DraftStreet. And with the NBA All-Star break looming, there could be a good amount of Golf action going on this weekend. It’s not a bad time to take a swing at it… Read More

Having a medical background, I thought it might be helpful if periodically I’d review some of the more prominent injuries and how they may impact the players both in the short term (for DFS players) and long term (for those who still play in season long leagues). Read More

Say what you want about Kobe(who might be a sociopath) he is one competitive S.O.B. He is holding out a grudge against the dreadful Suns for a rivalry that they had what seems like 5 years ago. Every time he faces them, he wants to scorch them, and he usually does put up a huge stat-line. This is the third time that he has faced them this year, here are his statlines the last 2 games.

BASEBALL! BASEBALL! BASEBALL! BASEBALL! Now that that’s out of the way, it’s hard to believe that it’s time for pitchers and catchers already. The off-season inexplicably seemed so short, yet also so long both at the same time. Wasn’t it both yesterday and also ages ago that David Freese line drive to right was mis-played by Nelson Cruz.

With only four games on tap I wanted to highlight a few players that should be on most rosters today. The catch is that everyone will come with a DraftStreet price tag of under $10,000. To put it simply any of the below players will cost you less than 10% of your total budget. This should free up the necessary cash to activate Blake Griffin, Josh Smith, etc. The most important this to do today is not to miss the obvious “super-value-play” while identifying potential bust players that will be at least 50% owned today.

Everybody has different theories on how to manage their bankroll, and I am not one to say what works and what doesn’t. However, as a fairly new player myself (did not begin playing consistently until last March), I always wished somebody would tell me how to best manage my finances as I attempted to stay afloat in this industry. In the year I’ve been playing consistently, I have learned quite a few things, so hopefully this list of 10 tips can help some of you new people with limited bankrolls get started: Read More

Well, I finally made it back for the PGA Tour 2012 season. In January I think it’s hard to tell which golfers have been practicing and which have been taking the winter break less serious. I hate to pick a fantasy lineup because it seems to be mostly a guessing game that early. Last year it was Mark Wilson that started hot, this year it was Johnson Wagner. You just never can tell and for that reason I skip it. I did however, get in some small action the last two weeks to get my feet wet and am finally ready to dive in for the season starting with the Northern Trust Open. Read More
