Anything else you’d like to share, Richard Seymour? Yikes.
Some observations I’ve been developing became clearer in Week 7. The Raiders being a playoff team wasn’t one of them.

You tend to think about other aspects of the NFL when you’re stuck watching the Bills-Jets, a game with more turnovers than a bakery. Here are some high and low points from Sunday: Want more? Keep reading…

(Don’t worry. We’ll take you back to fantasy football soon.)
Yoo-Hoo has never tasted better.
I’m not much of a chocolate milk chugger, but when the words “fantasy baseball championship” are tied to it, the dark dairy drink gives the palate – maybe your hair? – a much sweeter taste. Want more? Keep reading…
