I’m not an NBA fan usually. Having grown up in North Carolina and being an alumni of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I get my court kicks through college b-ball, preferably my beloved Heels (who won last night!). But when FamousDC was invited to the Wizards-Raptors game last night, even I jumped at the [...]

Very mediocre weekend with not a lot of scoring. No, I’m not talking about being married, but I might as well be.  I’ve got some big items to get to so we’re going to make this a Chaz Bono – short on top and fat in the middle. (Second Chaz Bono reference of the year [...]

  It is with great sadness that I must announce that I was fired as my fantasy football team’s coach this week amid the continued negative focus on my drafting of Peyton Hillis and Chris Johnson in the first and second round of this year’s draft.  After missing the playoffs for the seventh straight year, [...]

I must start with an apology to all of you who flipped out last week thinking your playoffs had started.  I was focusing on one of my leagues with a more extensive than usual playoff period.  For those of you who read my rant, cut all of your players to the waiver wire and sent [...]

  I didn’t make the playoffs in my “important” leagues (important = money on the line).  Now I have to tell my wife that there’s not going to be Christmas for the family this year.  That’s what happens when you put all of your fantasy eggs in a Chris Johnson basket.  She’s going to blame [...]

    I’d like to use my intro for my own two cents on the Penn State Pederast Parable playing out in front of the nation.  You gotta know that part of the outrage is being fueled by fans of Penn’s rivals.  It’s bad, no doubt, but Michael Jackson didn’t have nearly the righteous indignation [...]

We have a big announcement this week here in Fantasy Rant Land.  Due to the fact I went to a state school, I’m 45 percent illiterate.  So we have an editor now and her name is Meg.  While we’re not sure if she throws like a girl, we do know that she is smart, funny [...]

The regular NFL season isn’t quite at its official halfway point yet, but your fantasy season is.  That means you’re pretty much either done or going to be done soon.  How am I so sure about the state of your fantasy season being as bad as I guess it is?  Because quality fantasy owners don’t read crap like [...]

The overall fantasy production was slightly up this week, but was provided by people you don’t know, don’t have on your team and won’t repeat their performance next week. So… there you go. I don’t have all the questions, but Mr. Trebek has given me the answers. Let’s get started failing: 1. I’m a Broncos [...]

We recently reported that Dan Snyder, the lovable owner of the Washington Redskins, purchased a new yacht. Now the City Paper would like folks to know that fueling yachts is far from cheap. It Takes More Than 43,000 Beers to Fill Up the Fuel Tanks on Dan Snyder’s Boat? The real shocker for me during [...]
