It’s week 9 in the NFL and I have the pleasure of representing the New School Grinders team on Fantasy Sports Live this week. I have played in their promotion every week since week 1, and many times I did not register on time to take part in the 50 person tournament so ended up in the smaller tournament and had no idea how the host was making out on that week. That’s why I am doing this post, so that if you are playing you can see my team here. For those of you unfamiliar with the promotion being run by FSL, each week there is a host who you try to beat. If you are successful in beating the host three straight weeks than you can make it into the Tournament of Champions which is a freeroll that they will be holding for all who qualify. There are other ways to qualify and other ways to win free bonus money as well during the NFL season. Check out this post for more information. Read More

I had meant to do a fourth blog that looked at TEs and defences for this week but ran out of time (solid picks in there too with Graham at TE and Cincy D). The purpose of this blog is to look back at my picks and make the best lineup possible with only guys mentioned in my blogs and see where that team would have finished this week. Read More

Newton has been the rookie of the year this year by far. He has not only lead all rookies in offensive statistics, but has been a top 5 QB almost every week.

To go along with those yards, Newton has thrown for 7 TDs and ran for another 5. Read More
