Michael Hermanson 11-2 last week! That’s right, chew on that for a little while Randy Moss. I’m making my own headlines.
With a two-week string of 11-17, I’ve decided to re-evaluate my principles of picking teams. Here are my rankings, from worst to best, of every team in the league.
No, it's not about Britney. It's about Benjamin. I mean, it could be about over-consumption ... period. This is about Americans and their lifestyles or over-consumption - or not.

Pastor Eddie Long allegedly coerced a 15-year-old into sex on a trip to Africa. He denied allegations from three other men,along with the one mentioned above. Apparently the pastor attempted to tell the young men that his attentions were unique, and special - he tried to tell them that they should appreciate what attentions were being bestowed upon them. The initial accuser first met the Pastor in Charlotte, North Carolina. Eddie Long has been vocal about his stance against homosexuality. This story is quite similar to the story of Tye Tribbet, a Gospel singer who had an affair with a woman in his traveling performer group.
Diana Davis On the Road Again The sun is rising and the women’s golf team is headed for the van.
Jeff Skinner may make the Carolina Hurricanes. Crisp passes. Solid shot opportunities. Two points (a goal Saturday in a 1-0 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers and an assist Friday night in a 3-1 loss to the Nashville Predators) in two games.
She stands on the sideline, chest exposed, shirt revealing a portion of her midriff. From a distance, there is no indication that she is on this field to provide a service to those dependent on her journalistic skills - rather, she could be anyone.

This year's MTV Video Music awards were absurd. Absolutely. Absurd. Every moment of the pre-show made me cringe.
Zach Horner Last summer, the Carolina Hurricanes won it all. Now, before you call me crazy and predictably say I am wrong and the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, I will tell you that you are right in saying that.
Michael Hermanson Week 2! For all you fantasy owners who started Kevin Kolb, Brett Favre, or Matt Schaub expecting monster weeks, I’m here for you.
Conor O'Neill Week 1 has come and gone, and we already have controversy. Between talks of a lockout, a QB controversy in Philadelphia that will drive P.E.T.A.
Trying to start off a sports blog like this with a thoughtful and inspiring quote seems like it would be a bit pretentious.
Conor O'Neill We have 25 days left before the end of the baseball season. So, with no further ado, here is a division by division breakdown of each playoff race. AL East: The World Series Champion will come from this division.
