I’ve always been a preparer. If I can stay a couple steps ahead of trends and opponents in life, my chance of success increases. I’ve practiced it in my personal life, my professional life and absolutely in my fantasy football life.
A great example of this happened some time ago at work. Continue reading “Lots of Guys (Mostly QBs) Can’t See the Big Picture”
Its the morning after the first round of the draft, I honestly fell asleep after the 12th pick partly because I’m an old man and partly because the guys I was curious about had largely gone. So having done ZERO research on what others are saying and no real research on it, I’m just gonna give you my off the cuff first impressions of the first ten picks.

He took a good long look, not knowing the single “Just a Friend” would become burned into his memory a short time later. He walked away thinking to himself, ‘Everyone sleeps, who the Hell is so busy that they don’t sleep’. Now, if I had a time machine, it would appear in front of that kid and I would step out and slap that kid across the face and scream, “Buy BitCoin!” before getting back into the time machine and returning to the present. This offseason has come so fast and so furious, that sleep has been a luxury. Of course the kid in the story was Continue reading “The Fig Never Sleeps…”
