Uncovering Some Cold Hard Football Facts

Jason Bean — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:41:00 +0000

Is it just me, or is it weird that there are so many NFL teams with either a 5-0 record or an 0-5 record. So much for the normal bell curve you’ve come to expect with sports teams.

This NFL season I’m stumbling around trying to figure out what I’m doing with four different fantasy football leagues. I’m doing fairly well in one league, and then bringing up the absolute rear with two of the other ones. I try to keep up with what’s going on with all the players, but with so many teams, I feel like I’m trying to keep up with every player in the league.

My boss told me about the Cold Hard Football Facts website. If you’re looking for some straight-forward stats and information that really matters for a football team, then you should look no further than the Cold Hard Football Facts website.

What’s nice about the site is that they share the reasons behind how they figure their stats. Sometimes you’re watching a game and you hear all the stats being shared and you think, "Well durh!". Of course the team that scores the most points is going to win the game. It’s like I’m listening to Madden talk about football again.

If you want to learn more about football and what makes a good team a good team and bad teams a bad team. Go give yourself some time to look around the Cold Hard Football Facts website and see how your team stacks up.

Fantasy Football Picks Videos

NFL football is over for the season and a big congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers for winning Super Bowl XLIII. I was torn at the beginning of the game, but found myself rooting more for the Arizona Cardinals than Steelers in the end.

Anyway, I found these videos that are old, but I never remember seeing them and they’re pretty impressive, although I’m not sure they’re 100% accurate. Still entertaining.

I’ve put together a playlist of my favorites on YouTube if you want to see the rest of them.

Doritos Super Bowl Commercial

These was perhaps the funniest Super Bowl commercial of the night. What was your favorite? This was part of a contest sponsored by Doritos and I believe this ad was created by guys from Indiana.

Coming Soon: A Review of Online Fantasy Football Leagues

Jason Bean — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:40:23 +0000

I just posted the results of my third Fantasy Football league draft on my personal blog. I’ve got a team on Yahoo! Fantasy Football, Fox Fantasy Football and ESPN Fantasy Football. After posting the results of my last draft choices, I figured I should have a pretty good grasp of the top online sports portal sites and would be in a good place to give a review of these three sites once the season is over.

What sites do you use? Do I have time to add a team to a couple of new leagues? Which ones am I missing?

Let me know.

ESPN Fantasy Football – Draft Tool Problems?

Jason Bean — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:38:08 +0000

It’s that time of year again, guys switch from spending their time watching crazy videos of stupid stunts and pranks to preparing for their fantasy football team. I’ll be repeating my fantasy football seasons this year with ESPN Fantasy Football and Fox Sports Fantasy Football websites.

The only problem is that my draft is tonight for the ESPN league and I’m not sure if the draft tool is going to work or not. The assistance for knowing whether or not it is, is less than helpful.

To test the draft you click on link clearly labeled and you’ll see the screen above. When you click on the “Press Button to Begin Draft Test” in Firefox 3 I’m prompted with the following screen.

That file downloads and it shows that java is installing and a little non-descript window displays saying everything has installed fine.

Then the site just goes back to the original page. I think what would be really helpful is if something actually occurred on the site to show you what the draft tool is going to look like and how it should display when it’s going to work.

Hopefully I’m ready for tonight. Now I’ve got to go see who I should pick first since I’m going first.

Fantasy Sports Sites

Jason Bean — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 03:41:25 +0000

It’s almost time for the NFL Season to start and this year I’m actually going to participate in an NFL Fantasy League with some friends. Now I’m a huge football fan and love my Indianapolis Colts, but I just don’t know enough about the game to really understand how to manage my fantasy team better than anyone else, so it’s going to be a crap shoot really.

We’re going to be using Fox Sports Fantasy Football, but I thought I’d share some other sites that host fantasy sports as well. In addition to some other sites that may help you understand the game a little bit better as well.
