I’ve heard a lot of grumbling about whether or not Jamaal Charles is really a stud fantasy RB in 2010 because he now must compete with Thomas Jones for touches. Heck, I’ve even wondered about it myself. This morning, I’m here to tell you to stop the grumbling. First of all, consider that Charles was already a stud [...]

After the success I had with my first Excruciating Rundown of The Worst Commercials on TV, and considering the fact that companies are still airing horrible commercials, I have decided to do a part 2 of this series. I was very surprised that it got so many hits. A few days after it was posted, I went to [...]

Aroldis Chapman is currently taking Major League Baseball by storm. We haven’t been treated to two debut innings this spectacular since…Stephen Strasburg’s first two innings against Pittsburgh earlier this year. And though this may seem sacrilegious to say considering the Strasburg mania that has swept America, our initial glimpses of Chapman have somehow been more impressive than the man [...]

With the NFL season quickly approaching, opening night is just over a week awa y, Noontime Sports has decided to list our 10 marquee matchups to watch this season. And the first one should be pretty obvious, since it’s the one that kicks off the season and reprises one of last year’s most memorable games.

I remember it like it was yesterday – the first time I realized that life wasn’t always fair. Reggie Miller had helped me experience the highs and lows of sports just a few months earlier. I remember him exploding in The Garden in the fourth quarter against the Knicks in the playoffs, and his 8 points in [...]

Quietly, University of New Mexico soccer player Elizabeth Lambert made her return to the pitch this past weekend with a brief 11-minute appearance in the Lobo’s 1-nil win over nationally ranked Marquette University. In case you had forgotten (and Lambert no doubt wishes that everyone has), Liz was the player who gained internet notoriety and Ron Artest-like [...]

Turns out urban legends just might be true after all. Bigfoot is very much alive and well. Area 51 indeed exists. Los Chupacabras is a threat to suck the blood out of your family pet in the middle of the night. Somebody can offer one a drink at the pub and next thing he knows he wakes [...]

If I were a student at the University of Texas, I would be making shirts that say this right now. If I went to school in Tuscaloosa, I’d also probably be making shirts that say “Wow, I thought my second national championship ring was gonna get in the way on that one” with hang making a Hook [...]

We interrupt your regularly scheduled fantasy chit-chat to honor one of MSF’s longest tenured featured writers. You know him as Kurt Fraschetti, Senior Fantasy Football writer for MSF as well as the Managing Editor of Pro Football Insight …but now you can also call him Joe, as in Fantasy Joe. A hearty MSF congratulations are in order for Kurt, whose [...]

Your draft is complete, and like most everyone else you’re probably feeling pretty good about your team.  So it’s time to just sit back and wait for the regular season, right? Wrong. Do the names Miles Austin, Jamaal Charles, and Pierre Garcon mean anything to you?  All of these players were major fantasy contributors last year, and all [...]

Christmas came on August 30th for me this year. Well, fantasy football Christmas did anyway. Last night, right before I was ready to call it an evening, I got an automated email from my fantasy league informing me of a trade proposal. Figuring it was one of the typically ridiculous trade proposals people send (Kyle Orton/Kellen Winslow [...]

Believe it or not, absolutely yes. Despite the incessant and often annoying summer hype from ESPN and other media that whets all our appetites, I know folks who truly find the game oversaturated and dull. Below is what a friend emailed me a few days back. A lot of it makes sense when you think about it logically, [...]

Unlike college football, which I commented earlier tonight snuck up on me, the kickoff of the NFL season will as always be a loooong time coming. The difference, of course, is that college football doesn’t have a preseason nor fantasy football to suck up our attention during August. The NFL does, however, which makes it seem like [...]

Holy crap…did the college football season sneak up on anyone else? I mean, I knew that Ohio State and Marshall were playing on Thursday because KVB posted his preview about it yesterday, but for some reason it hadn’t dawned on me yet that there was a full slate of games this weekend. After getting a few emails from [...]

While the Chicago Cubs receive most of my vitriol these days, during the mid-1990s to early-00s there was no franchise in baseball I abhorred more than the Cleveland Indians. There were two reasons for this. First, the Indians were awesome then. You might recall that from 1995-2001 they never won fewer than 86 games and won the [...]

Even though the player names are in Japanese, if you even try and tell me that this doesn’t bring back pleasant memories from your childhood, well, I don’t believe you. Behold, the greatest baseball video game ever, and any small ball manager’s wet dream: Source: Imgur via Reddit As a White Sox fan, I would like to see Juan Pierre try [...]

This past weekend, the Yankees visited Chicago for a three game set with the White Sox. New York won two out of three to maintain its first place tie with the Rays in the AL East, but the Yankees and manager Joe Girardi were not able to get out of town without a little bit of [...]
