http://www.thejockrap.com Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:18:56 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Another NFL week is in the books, and 2 more Denver Broncos tailbacks are on Injured Reserve. Halfbacks PJ Pope and Selvin Young left Sunday's loss to the Bills with hamstring and neck injuries, respectively. That brings the carnage to seven - 7 - Broncos tailbacks that have been placed on IR ... http://www.thejockrap.com/2008/12/22/you-cant-make-this-crap-up/ God I hate Scott Boras.  And the 4 people left who didn't hate him before this offseason probably hate him now.  Boras is holding up the entire offseason because he is trying to bluff teams into bidding $200 million dollars for a player that doesn't deserve it. But he's turned into ... http://www.thejockrap.com/2008/12/22/teixeira-needs-to-sign/ Last Week: 8-6-2 Another interesting week in the NFL, but my thought for the week revolves around Fantasy Football. I will just say this - anyone who needed Brian Westbrook to do anything on MNF probably figured they won with a 30-10 blowout. Nope. Depending on your league, Westbrook scored anywhere ... http://www.thejockrap.com/2008/12/18/nfl-week-16-picks/ What recession?  Worst economic crisis in the US since The Great Depression?  You wouldn't be able to tell that by looking at the world of Major League Baseball.  Here's my thoughts on what has gone down recently.

As the weeks wind down, lines get trickier as teams have more or less to play for. As it ... http://www.thejockrap.com/2008/12/11/nfl-week-15-picks/ Cuse guard Eric Devendorf was suspended indefinitely on Wednesday for allegedly hitting a female student.  As a result, the junior guard will not be allowed to attend classes or step onto campus until after the school year is out in May 2009. Devendorf has until 5pm Thursday to decide whether or ... http://www.thejockrap.com/2008/12/11/devo-likely-gone-for-season/ Last Week: 8-7-1 (YTD: 112-74-6) A promising week went down the tubes when I missed both SNF and MNF plays, the first time that's happened to me all season. Still, continued to plug away and move another 1-over for the season. Week 14 has some serious games on tap, so without ... http://www.thejockrap.com/2008/12/06/nfl-week-14-picks/ Last Week: 3-2 (YTD: 45-36-1) Back to the winning ways last week, and I thought I had a really solid card with a chance for 4-1 - until the Gamecocks failed to show any fight whatsoever and got rolled. With the season winding down, it's time for teams to step up ... http://www.thejockrap.com/2008/12/04/ncaaf-week-15-picks/
