RotoExperts Sponsors Fighter at UFC 92

When Mike Massenzio takes on CB Dalloway in Las Vegas on December 27th, he’ll be sporting the RotoExperts.com name.  Hector Castro, who put the deal together with Massenzio’s people, and Brad Ryzs, one of the up and comers at RotoExperts, will attend the fight and represent RotoExperts.com at the venue.
I was really surprised to see how big [...]

RotoExperts Acquires Diamond Draft Software

I’ve known Keith Macari for a few years, and was very surprised to learn that he had a sweet draft assistance tool for baseball.  I was even more surprised, and not a little intrigued, when my baseball writers and editors started raving about how good it was. After sitting down with Keith we realized that [...]

Fantasy Football: Thursday Night Fantasy Game Preview: Bengals-Steelers

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh: Ryan Fitzpatrick has slowly, but surely gotten better each week.  He’s now gone two consecutive games without losing a fumble (he lost one in each of his first four starts), and this past week against a good Philadelphia defense, he threw for 261 yards and a touchdown.  Unfortunately, his matchup against Pittsburgh [...]

Fantasy Football: Week Four Fantasy Thoughts

(This was originally posted on Sports Illustrated, September 26th 2008)
It’s official. I hate bye weeks.
It’s bad enough that Randy Moss lost Tom Brady, dashing the hope that my clever WR/WR gambit in many of my leagues could set a new standard for draft day craftiness. But now Plaxico Burress, new contract in hand, is suspended [...]

Scott Engel on RotoExperts.com

In June of this year I hired Scott Engel, who for the last 12 years had worked at CBS Sportsline and ESPN.com. Scott has been a huge addition to our team, even though he sucks at karaoke. But I give him style points for being brave (or maybe oblivious) enough to step on the stage anyway.
Scott [...]

NFL Draft Preview

One of the great things about owning a fantasy sports website is I have an opportunity to help people who, like me four years ago, are looking for a chance to break into the business.  Such is the case with the author of this column, Mike Gilbert, who is on special assignment for my site, [...]

My New Web Site: RotoExperts.com

Well, I’ve gone and done it. I started a fantasy sports Web site: www.rotoexperts.com.
If you’ve done this before you know how much work it is. In my pollyannish naivete I figured that with almost a dozen guys writing for me it would be a cake walk.
So much for the cake walk!
What I didn’t realize [...]

ESPN - Oops, I did it again

There is a cliche that goes something like “Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me.”
 Shame on me.
ESPN has proven, once again, to be the biggest collection of brainless idiots in the fantasy sports industry. I say this especially with some great sorrow, since one of my favorite people in the [...]

Baseball: The Rich Get Richer - Even Mediocre Players Getting Paid

Major League Baseball, flush with cash and enjoying a boom in popularity, has embarked on an odyssey this off season. Free Agents will find themselves wooed with the avalanche of cash being thrown at them. How else do you explain Mark DeRosa netting $13 million dollars for the next three years? He had [...]

Michael Vick Shows True Colors

When the game was over fans at the Georgia Dome voiced their displeasure with the outcome of the game.  Falcon QB Michael Vick showed his class, or lack thereof, by flipping them off.  Later, in a press conference, he said the gesture was atypical, but as a rabid follower and fan, I don’t believe him.
This [...]
