Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 22
Yesterday I prayed to the daily fantasy gods. In a disgraceful act of pure begging I sent my prayer over the Twitter airwaves. Maybe the daily fantasy gods actually live somewhere in the dark netherworld of Twitter as some of my prayers were answered. We went undefeated last night over at FanDuel—going 3-0 in head-to-heads, placing […]
Mike Carp Traded to Red Sox as Boston Looks for Depth
The Boston Red Sox have made plenty of moves during this offseason, but the team wasn’t done even as spring training got underway. There weren’t many holes left for the Red Sox to fill after a flurry of activity during the organization’s makeover, but there was one role left that General Manager Ben Cherington was hoping to […]
Dexter Pittman To The Grizzlies, Jordan Crawford To The Celtics
Pick up your jaw, basketball fans, the much-anticipated NBA trade deadline is upon us, and it’s been as thrilling as we all hoped. Well, not really. More than blockbuster, it’s been a Sunday night B-movie with the missus, and there’s cameos from Dexter Pittman, Jordan Crawford, and an expiring Leandro Barbosa (contract, not player). The […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 21
Yesterday only featured three NHL games and most of the scoring came in the Pittsburgh/Philadelphia game. There were 16 goals scored last night—11 came from Pitt/Philly game. Paul Martin continues to be a great daily fantasy play and put up 6.9 fantasy points last night. With Martin’s help we won three out of four head-to-head […]
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 20
Yesterday was a bizzare day at FanDuel. In one 50/50 league the winning score was only 35.80. Even with my lineup of only 18.95 points I still took two out of three head-to-heads. It was a day when Brent Seabrook‘s mighty zero was a full 1.3 points better than Justin Schultz and Christian Ehrhoff combined. […]
Alfredo Aceves Already Wearing Out His Welcome in Boston
In the world of professional sports there is a wide range of personalities. It is part of the nature of the sports world when multi-million dollar contracts and egos come into play. It is a manager’s job to keep the more volatile personalities in check and maintain a cohesive team. Sometimes, that proves to be […]
XN Sports February Mock Draft: The Fall of Megatron
The Lions forcefed him in a desperate and ultimately meaningless push for the NFL receiving record, Matthew Stafford’s mechanics make him a mediocre signal caller, and, well, 2012 was a whole lot of luck: These are the reasons Calvin Johnson is inexplicably trickling out of the first rounds of fantasy football’s earliest mock drafts. Call […]
Week 17 NBA Injury Report: Post-Break Rebounds
Since it’s almost impossible to get hurt in a 143-138 game, there are no new injuries to report this week. Plenty of players used the long weekend to heal up and we should see a lot of lineup tweaking once they return. Let’s take a look at who’s finally suiting up and who will be […]
