2009 NFL Draft Impact On Fantasy Football
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
William Parsons asked:
After months of analysis and projections leading up to the April 25-26 NFL draft followed by days of draft recap and team grades, we focus on what really matters to us; how the draft affects our fantasy football leagues. While we may have thoughts on the absurdity of the contracts signed by high draft picks, it has no effect on our fantasy football team’s payroll. Players may have been drafted higher or lower than projected, but that has no impact on where they will be drafted in our leagues. What matters most to us is if the player will play and if it will be this year or in upcoming years. Let’s take a quick spin through the league and look at each team’s new additions that could factor into our fantasy football drafts.
AFC
Baltimore - Baltimore’s best pick was on the offensive line with G Michael Oher. I cannot see this changing the draft position of any of the Ravens’ three-headed backfield. DE Paul Kruger was a nice addition to an aging defense.
Buffalo - Buffalo added players across the board, except for the offensive skill positions (Terrell Owens was added via free agency). DE Aaron Maybin will be a stud on defense, bumping the defense up a few positions. They did add TE Shawn Nelson who could have a sneaky year catching passes underneath. Hopefully, Owens won’t catch him conspiring with QB Trent Edwards on individual plays.
Cincinnati - The Bengals had a great overall draft, but their improvements on the offensive line OT Andre Smith and defense with LB Rey Maualuga and DE Michael Johnson does little to make their defense draftable or increase the draftability of any offensive players. I do love TE Chase Coffman and will take my chances on him with a late round pick.
Cleveland - Rookie wide receivers rarely do much in the NFL, but the Browns added two that I would recommend taking as a late round pick; Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi.
Denver - The Broncos addressed their biggest weakness; their defense. However, their defense should only be rostered when facing Kansas City and Oakland. RB Knowshon Moreno is worth drafting, but I would not draft him too high as Denver signed 4 free agent RBs so I don’t see Moreno as their primary back.
Houston - The Texans added a few starters on defense to help out Mario Williams. The jury is out on whether or not it makes the position draftable or not cuz they were the 27th-ranked fantasy defense in 2008.
Indianapolis - DT Fili Moala helps the defense immediately, but the player to focus on is RB Donald Brown. Brown quietly lead the NCAA in rushing yards in 2008 and will step in right away for the Colts. Joseph Addai is still the number 1 running back, but has proven to be injury-prone, so Brown will get reps right away to minimize Addai’s touches. He should be selected in middle rounds and a few rounds higher in Keeper Leagues.
Jacksonville - The Jags grabbed a pair of offensive tackles to help restore their running game. This should keep Maurice Jones-Drew as a second round pick. WR Mike Thomas is worth a late-round flier.
Kansas City - The Chiefs signed a few good players on defense in DT Alex Magee and LB Tyson Jackson, but they will not make their defense worth drafting.
Miami - You will read a lot about how well QB Patrick White will fit into the Fins’ Wildcat offense, but how many touches can you realistically expect? They grabbed 6′ 5″ WR Patrick Thomas outta USC to help their passing game, but if their offense does not make Ted Ginn Jr an every week starter, Thomas has no chance.
New England - Much like Dallas, New England worked multiple trades to fill multiple holes, but none of them will help us in the fantasy world. No offensive players to note and their D will not change draft perception with the new additions.
New York Jets - The Jets were the most daring team during the draft and landed two draftable players out of their three picks in QB Mark Sanchez and RB Shonn Green. Many people questioned the Green pick, but I love this kid. He is as tough and powerful as they get. Thomas Jones is in his early 30s and threatening to hold out if he doesn’t get more cash and Leon Washington may become too expensive, so Green is not a bench warmer. Sanchez had a short starting career at USC, but excelled in a pro style offense and seems polished and ready to tackle the New York media. I would recommend Sanchez as a mid-round pick and can see taking Green as a double digit round pick. Bump Sanchez up considerably in Keeper leagues and bump Green up a few rounds in Keeper leagues as well.
Oakland - Oakland would receive much more ridicule for its draft choices if Detroit wasn’t in the league. However, in fantasy football, who cares if Oakland drafted a guy a round too early and bypassed a much better receiver to do it. WR Darius Heyward-Bey is a burner and can put up some serious numbers if JaMarcus Russell can get him the ball. A good mid-round pick.
Pittsburgh - The Steelers didn’t really do much to change fantasy football except add another solid DT to its defense in Evander Hood. They should still be the first or second defense drafted.
San Diego - The Chargers added DE Larry English, but will probably move him to LB, especially if Merriman is slowed from his knee surgery and Shaun Phillips can’t stay out of trouble. No impact on fantasy in the least.
Tennessee - WR Kenny Britt was their best pick, but he will be a third option in a run first, second and third offense. They replaced Albert Haynesworth with DT Sen’Derrick Marks (no misspelling on the name). He is a slight step back, but won’t change the location in the draft for the Tennessee D.
NFC
Arizona - The Cards happily grabbed RB Chris “Beanie” Wells with the first pick in the second round. He will play immediately as Edgerrin James was released and Tim Hightower appears to be best suited as a goal-line back. Beanie should be drafted in one-season in rounds 4-5 in standard 12-team leagues and rounds 3-4 in Keeper leagues.
Atlanta - Eight picks, all on defense. So, obviously, the Falcons D is the only position that improved. They have some solid additions to support their corners as well as help John Abraham, especially DT Peria Jerry, S William Moore and DE Lawrence Sidbury. This will propel them into the top half of draftable defenses.
Carolina - DE Everette Brown and S Sherrod Martin will help the defense a bit, though not near as much as keeping Julius Peppers will. Their defense should remain in the same draft position.
Chicago - The Bears did pretty well considering they only drafted on Day 2. WR Juaquin Iglesias is a nice addition to a weak receiving core and could be a productive late round pick on draft day. DT Jarron Gilbert will help the Bears D out a bit, though not altering their draft position.
Dallas - The Cowboys traded their way into a lot of worthless picks. Even though the Cowboys had no draftable backup QB last year, I do not believe that QB Stephen McGee is in that category this year. If you draft QB Tony Romo, your backup should be a starting QB on another team.
Detroit - QB Matthew Stafford is giddy knowing that he will be given the reigns to a winless team, so the bar for success in worm-high. It also brings a rare smile to his face when he envisions WR Calvin Johnson in his huddle. However, he is still a rookie QB on a winless team, so don’t pick him as your number 1 QB. He should be drafted higher in Keeper leagues. TE Brandon Pettigrew is a must-draft TE in later rounds.
Green Bay - Green Bay’s D was productive in the TD category last season, but was a bit of a sieve. Adding DT B.J. Raji and LB Clay Matthews enhances this position a few rounds.
Minnesota - The Vikings grabbed WR Percy Harvin to add a new dimension to their offense. The kid can flat-out play, if he adjusts to life in the Twin Cities. I would definitely recommend picking him up in early double-digit rounds.
New Orleans - The Saints’ D was startable at certain times last season coming off the waiver wire. That will change a bit this year with the additions of CB Malcolm Jenkins and S Chip Vaughn. I feel good recommending drafting them in the last round.
New York Giants - The G-Men addressed their biggest need right away by drafting WR Hakeem Nicks. He should be drafted in early double digit rounds. I would recommend a late round handcuff of RB Andre Brown if you draft Brandon Jacobs. RB Derrick Ward is now on Tampa so Brown will be taking over for him.
Philadelphia - Philly will have the most rookies drafted this year. They landed WR Jeremy Maclin, TE Cornelius Ingram and RB LeSean McCoy. Maclin may be a DeSean Jackson clone in playmaking ability, which is good if he waits until he crosses the goal line to celebrate his scores. Ingram will be a favorite target of McNabb when he needs a tough catch across the middle and McCoy is a must-draft handcuff to Westbrook.
Seattle - LB Aaron Curry will definitely help Seattle on defense, but makes no difference in fantasyland. WR Deon Butler was drafted to replace Bobby Engram, but I see no reason to draft him unless you are in a really deep league.
San Francisco - The Niners get a gift in picking up WR Michael Crabtree with the 10th pick. He is the class of the receiving group and will be a flat-out receiving stud in the NFL. I don’t think you’ll get him if you wait until the middle rounds of your draft. You especially want to grab him early in your Keeper Leagues. In addition to Crabtree, the Niners picked up RB Glen Coffey who should be your handcuff to Frank Gore.
St. Louis - The Rams picked up T Jason Smith to replace Orlando Pace and will show immediate dividends in the passing and running game as Pace is vastly overrated and almost stationary nowadays. That being said, Marc Bulger is a late draft pick and Steven Jackson is still a first round pick. As much as I love LB James Laurinaitis, he doesn’t make the Rams D draftable in any format.
Tampa Bay - Good luck with QB Josh Freeman. If he only played as well as he talks. He has the size for an NFL QB (6′ 6″), but I don’t even recommend drafting him in a Keeper League.
Washington - The Skins further enhanced their defensive front by drafting DE Brian Orakpo. In addition to line help, they also grabbed two LBs and CB Kevin Barnes. This greatly enhances the attraction of the Washington D and moves them into the top 8-10 defenses to draft.

Iowa 2008 Football Team Overview
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Positive outlook
After a season marred by scandals and a poor record Iowa looks to turn it around in 2008. 18 football players have been named to the 2007 fall academic all-Big Ten team, which is a good sign going into 2008. Hopefully the bad apples have left the tree. Douglas has transferred and hopefully both him and the University of Iowa can move forward. One way or another *knock on wood* we won’t have the same off the field problems this year.
The sophomores are experienced
Iowa had 31 first-year student-athletes see game action either on offense, defense or special teams in 2007. In addition to the 11 true freshmen, 20 redshirt freshmen saw the field. The Hawkeyes ranked third in the country in playing the most true and redshirt freshmen; North Carolina played 38 and Florida 33. Iowa tied for eighth nationally in playing 11 true freshmen.
Iowa had 11 true freshmen play in 2007: DT Cody Hundertmark, DB Cedric Everson, DE Christian Ballard, LB Jacody Coleman, DB Diauntae Morrow, LB Dezman Moses, WR Colin Sandeman, DB Jordan Bernstine, RB Jevon Pugh, TE Allen Reisner and OL Bryan Bulaga.
The 11 true freshmen are the most that have seen action under Kirk Ferentz in a single season. Iowa had seven true freshmen play in 2003 and 2000.
Ended on a Good Note
Iowa won four of its last six and just missed being selected for a bowl game. The Hawkeyes could return as many as 18 out of 24 starters (includes two kicking starters) for the 2008 campaign. Iowa was bowl eligible for the seventh straight season and finished in the Big Ten’s upper division for the sixth time in seven years. Nine starters return on offense,
Returning Starters
The Hawkeyes could return as many as 18 out of 24 starters (including the K/P).
Offense
Iowa loves to start the game on offense. Iowa has started on offense in 92 of its last 104 games. Iowa has started the game on offense in 94 of 110 games under Kirk Ferentz. The Hawkeyes scored 13 touchdowns and a field goal on their last 15 red zone possessions over the last four games in 2007.
On offense they could return 9. Iowa threw only seven interceptions in 2007 (six by Jake Christensen and one by Ricky Stanzi). The seven picks are the second-fewest thrown by an Iowa team. Iowa’s 2002 team established the school record for fewest interceptions (5). The Hawkeyes did not record a turnover in five games in 2007 (Northern Illinois, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan State).
Content provided by www.theofftopic.com
Iowa broke the school record for fewest turnovers in a season (13). The previous school record was 15 (nine interceptions and six fumbles), established in 1963 (eight games). Iowa ranked first in the Big Ten and 20th in the country in turnover margin (+8).
For 2007, Christensen completed 198-370 passes for 2,269 yards. The sophomore threw 17 touchdowns and only six interceptions. Christensen threw three touchdowns or more in three games in 2007 (Syracuse, Indiana and Western Michigan). He was 4-2 as a starter in home games and 13 of his 17 touchdown passes came in Kinnick Stadium. His passing yardage total (2,269) ranks 12th-best in a single-season at Iowa. In fact, it is believed that he became the first quarterback in NCAA Bowl Subdivision history to start his first two games against the same team.
The real question is: Can he be more accurate. The guy looked GREAT when he rolled outside the pocket, but when stood there he got sacked more than Drew Bledsoe!
TE Tony Moeaki sat out most of the 2007 season due to medical reasons. He will receive a redshirt! He was spotted as high as the top 10 TE during last season according to power rankings relating to this years draft.
Moeaki had been having a breakout season, prior to his injuries. In Iowa’s 35-0 win over Syracuse, the receiver had eight receptions for 112 yards and three touchdowns, which earned him rivals.com Big Ten Player of the Week and John Mackey Tight End of the Week accolades. All were career highs. He hauled in 14 passes for 170 yards in 2007. He was on the John Mackey Watch List, an award which goes to the top tight end in college football.

Honored on the 2007 Sporting News Freshman all-Big Ten team were WR James Cleveland, OL Bryan Bulaga, DB Brett Greenwood, PK Daniel Murray and P Ryan Donahue. Iowa had the most players recognized on the team.
http://515forums.com/phpBB3/index.php
Defense
As a unit, Iowa did not allow a touchdown until late in the second quarter at Wisconsin in game four - a streak of 13 quarters. The Hawkeyes didn’t allow a touchdown in four games (Northern Illinois, Syracuse, Iowa State and Illinois) in 2007.
The Hawkeye defense which ranked first in the conference in turnover margin and Red Zone defense and finished third in fewest points allowed (18.8 per game). They will return Six, and possibly seven starters return on defense. Senior Devan Moylan is petitioning for an extra year after sitting out most of the 2007 season with an injury.
First team all-Big Ten defensive tackle Mitch King is Iowa’s leading returnee on defense. Over 50 lettermen (only 37 last year) will be on Iowa’s spring roster.
Iowa ranked 13th in the nation in scoring defense (18.8), 20th in turnover margin (+8), 29th in rushing defense (122.0), 32nd in pass efficiency defense (115.7), 37th in punt returns (10.6).
FS Brett Greenwood intercepted an Illinois pass at the goal line to seal Iowa’s 10-6 victory over the then-18th-ranked Illini on Oct. 13. The play was nominated for the NCAAs weekly Pontiac Game Changing Performance Award.
DL Anton Narinskiy will return. He was a first team academic all-district honoree.
Special Teams
Doesn’t it **** when you have to brag about your punter? Not when you have this guy!
Punter Ryan Donahue punted 46 times for a 38.6 average through Iowa’s first seven games. Since the Hawkeyes’ contest at Purdue, the redshirt freshman raised his punting average to 41.1 on 86 kicks. The last five games he punted 40 times for a 44.0 average and downed eight inside the 20. Donahue had long kicks of 82 (Michigan State), 76 (Northwestern), 68 (Purdue) and 54 (Minnesota and Western Michigan) the last five contests.
Donahue broke two school punting records in 2007. The native of Evergreen Park, IL, established school records for punts in a single-season (86) and punt yardage (3,533). The previous records were held by Dave Holsclaw in 1978, 85 punts for 3,107 yards. I don’t know about you, but I dont think we want to re-set that record for most punts in a single season again anytime soon.
The redshirt freshman was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week Oct. 29, after averaging 51.6 yards on eight punts vs. Michigan State. Four of his eight punts eclipsed 50 yards, including an 82-yarder that is the second longest in school history. Donahue also earned freshman honorable mention all-American accolades by The Sporting News.

The losses are big as running back Albert Young and Damien Sims will have used up their eligibility. These 2 both finished in the top 20 all time in rush yards for the University of Iowa. Fullback Tom Busch will also be gone.
Defense
Gone will be linebackers Mike Klinkenborg and Mike Humpal, ends Bryan Mattisons and Kenny Iwebema and backs Adam Shada and Charles Godfrey.

Iowa has won 32 of its last 39 games (.821) in Kinnick Stadium, dating back to the 2002 season.
Again this year with no Ohio State and no Michigan on their schedule, Iowa has a chance to do extremely well this season. However, I thought the same thing last year when we went 6-6. They will open the season in Soldier Field against Northern Illinois once again this season. Homecoming has been scheduled for Indiana and as usual our big rivalry game, against Iowa State, is the 3rd game of the season. They have a shot at redemption after last years field goal festival in Jack Trice.
Iowa opened its 2007 conference schedule on the road (at Wisconsin) for the eighth time in nine years under Coach Ferentz. Iowa’s lone conference home opener, under Coach Ferentz, came in 2001 when it defeated Penn State. The Hawkeyes open the 2008 Big Ten schedule at home for the first time since 2001, vs. Northwestern.

He earned 1st place at Purdue’s Elite Quarterback Camp for speed passing accuracy. He is looking to be a kicker at the college level. His longest field goal kicked is 49 yards as a junior, Trent is 19 of 27 (field goals), 56 of 62 (extra points), and has kicked off 105 times with an average of just over 55 yards with 44 touchbacks. He’s also punted 55 times for an average of 32.8 yards. As a quarterback he’s passed for over 2,600 yards and 22 passing, 16 rushing touchdowns. I’m thinking he could be a fake FG threat?

Injury Report
Ferentz said that offensive lineman Dace Richardson had knee surgery in the fall and emphasized that it was not a “standard” ACL repair. He said it is difficult to predict how long the recovery will take or when he will be back to full speed. Tight end Tony Moeaki’s hand/wrist will be 100 percent in June and fullback Jordan McLaughlin had surgery for a sports hernia last week. Wide receiver Andy Brodell “should be fine.”
Transfers
Dominique Douglas, Cedric Everson and Abe Satterfield have decided to transfer from the University of Iowa and will continue their collegiate football careers elsewhere. None of the three will be on Iowa’s roster when classes resume in January.
VANCE
Positive outlook
After a season marred by scandals and a poor record Iowa looks to turn it around in 2008. 18 football players have been named to the 2007 fall academic all-Big Ten team, which is a good sign going into 2008. Hopefully the bad apples have left the tree. Douglas has transferred and hopefully both him and the University of Iowa can move forward. One way or another *knock on wood* we won’t have the same off the field problems this year.
The sophomores are experienced
Iowa had 31 first-year student-athletes see game action either on offense, defense or special teams in 2007. In addition to the 11 true freshmen, 20 redshirt freshmen saw the field. The Hawkeyes ranked third in the country in playing the most true and redshirt freshmen; North Carolina played 38 and Florida 33. Iowa tied for eighth nationally in playing 11 true freshmen.
Iowa had 11 true freshmen play in 2007: DT Cody Hundertmark, DB Cedric Everson, DE Christian Ballard, LB Jacody Coleman, DB Diauntae Morrow, LB Dezman Moses, WR Colin Sandeman, DB Jordan Bernstine, RB Jevon Pugh, TE Allen Reisner and OL Bryan Bulaga.
The 11 true freshmen are the most that have seen action under Kirk Ferentz in a single season. Iowa had seven true freshmen play in 2003 and 2000.
Ended on a Good Note
Iowa won four of its last six and just missed being selected for a bowl game. The Hawkeyes could return as many as 18 out of 24 starters (includes two kicking starters) for the 2008 campaign. Iowa was bowl eligible for the seventh straight season and finished in the Big Ten’s upper division for the sixth time in seven years. Nine starters return on offense,
Returning Starters
The Hawkeyes could return as many as 18 out of 24 starters (including the K/P).
Offense
Iowa loves to start the game on offense. Iowa has started on offense in 92 of its last 104 games. Iowa has started the game on offense in 94 of 110 games under Kirk Ferentz. The Hawkeyes scored 13 touchdowns and a field goal on their last 15 red zone possessions over the last four games in 2007.
On offense they could return 9. Iowa threw only seven interceptions in 2007 (six by Jake Christensen and one by Ricky Stanzi). The seven picks are the second-fewest thrown by an Iowa team. Iowa’s 2002 team established the school record for fewest interceptions (5). The Hawkeyes did not record a turnover in five games in 2007 (Northern Illinois, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan State).

Iowa broke the school record for fewest turnovers in a season (13). The previous school record was 15 (nine interceptions and six fumbles), established in 1963 (eight games). Iowa ranked first in the Big Ten and 20th in the country in turnover margin (+8).
For 2007, Christensen completed 198-370 passes for 2,269 yards. The sophomore threw 17 touchdowns and only six interceptions. Christensen threw three touchdowns or more in three games in 2007 (Syracuse, Indiana and Western Michigan). He was 4-2 as a starter in home games and 13 of his 17 touchdown passes came in Kinnick Stadium. His passing yardage total (2,269) ranks 12th-best in a single-season at Iowa. In fact, it is believed that he became the first quarterback in NCAA Bowl Subdivision history to start his first two games against the same team.
The real question is: Can he be more accurate. The guy looked GREAT when he rolled outside the pocket, but when stood there he got sacked more than Drew Bledsoe!
TE Tony Moeaki sat out most of the 2007 season due to medical reasons. He will receive a redshirt! He was spotted as high as the top 10 TE during last season according to power rankings relating to this years draft.
Moeaki had been having a breakout season, prior to his injuries. In Iowa’s 35-0 win over Syracuse, the receiver had eight receptions for 112 yards and three touchdowns, which earned him rivals.com Big Ten Player of the Week and John Mackey Tight End of the Week accolades. All were career highs. He hauled in 14 passes for 170 yards in 2007. He was on the John Mackey Watch List, an award which goes to the top tight end in college football.

Defense
As a unit, Iowa did not allow a touchdown until late in the second quarter at Wisconsin in game four - a streak of 13 quarters. The Hawkeyes didn’t allow a touchdown in four games (Northern Illinois, Syracuse, Iowa State and Illinois) in 2007.
The Hawkeye defense which ranked first in the conference in turnover margin and Red Zone defense and finished third in fewest points allowed (18.8 per game). They will return Six, and possibly seven starters return on defense. Senior Devan Moylan is petitioning for an extra year after sitting out most of the 2007 season with an injury.
First team all-Big Ten defensive tackle Mitch King is Iowa’s leading returnee on defense. Over 50 lettermen (only 37 last year) will be on Iowa’s spring roster.
Iowa ranked 13th in the nation in scoring defense (18.8), 20th in turnover margin (+8), 29th in rushing defense (122.0), 32nd in pass efficiency defense (115.7), 37th in punt returns (10.6).
FS Brett Greenwood intercepted an Illinois pass at the goal line to seal Iowa’s 10-6 victory over the then-18th-ranked Illini on Oct. 13. The play was nominated for the NCAAs weekly Pontiac Game Changing Performance Award.
DL Anton Narinskiy will return. He was a first team academic all-district honoree.
Special Teams
Doesn’t it **** when you have to brag about your punter? Not when you have this guy!
Punter Ryan Donahue punted 46 times for a 38.6 average through Iowa’s first seven games. Since the Hawkeyes’ contest at Purdue, the redshirt freshman raised his punting average to 41.1 on 86 kicks. The last five games he punted 40 times for a 44.0 average and downed eight inside the 20. Donahue had long kicks of 82 (Michigan State), 76 (Northwestern), 68 (Purdue) and 54 (Minnesota and Western Michigan) the last five contests.
Donahue broke two school punting records in 2007. The native of Evergreen Park, IL, established school records for punts in a single-season (86) and punt yardage (3,533). The previous records were held by Dave Holsclaw in 1978, 85 punts for 3,107 yards. I don’t know about you, but I dont think we want to re-set that record for most punts in a single season again anytime soon.
The redshirt freshman was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week Oct. 29, after averaging 51.6 yards on eight punts vs. Michigan State. Four of his eight punts eclipsed 50 yards, including an 82-yarder that is the second longest in school history. Donahue also earned freshman honorable mention all-American accolades by The Sporting News.

Iowa has won 32 of its last 39 games (.821) in Kinnick Stadium, dating back to the 2002 season.
Again this year with no Ohio State and no Michigan on their schedule, Iowa has a chance to do extremely well this season. However, I thought the same thing last year when we went 6-6. They will open the season in Soldier Field against Northern Illinois once again this season. Homecoming has been scheduled for Indiana and as usual our big rivalry game, against Iowa State, is the 3rd game of the season. They have a shot at redemption after last years field goal festival in Jack Trice.
Iowa opened its 2007 conference schedule on the road (at Wisconsin) for the eighth time in nine years under Coach Ferentz. Iowa’s lone conference home opener, under Coach Ferentz, came in 2001 when it defeated Penn State. The Hawkeyes open the 2008 Big Ten schedule at home for the first time since 2001, vs. Northwestern.

List Of Divisions For The NFL Teams
Monday, October 5th, 2009
Mark Grey asked:
With 32 teams competing in the NFL leagues each year it would be difficult for me to review them all in one article, therefore here is a summary of some of the more popular and successful NFL teams through the previous years.
Firstly, the most recent winners of the Super Bowl – The Pittsburgh Steelers from Pennsylvania, they are in the North Division of the AFC, and were founded in 1933. In there time the Steelers have won the Superbowl 6 times, making them one of the more successful NFL teams to date. One of the more recent victorious times for the Steelers is known as the Chuck Noll Era when they hired him as their coach and he bought with it a change in their luck, with the retirement of Chuck Noll came the hiring of Bill Cowher who led the Steelers to the playoffs consecutively for the first six years. Their latest success comes at the pride of Art Rooney´s five sons who have an 80% share in the team.
The next team to mention is the Greenbay Packers, as they have won the Championship more times than any other NFL team – a total of 12 times. They were founded in 1919 by Earl Lambeau, hence the name of the field where the team plays, Lambeau Field. They have won the Super Bowl three times with the first two being consecutive with victory in the Super Bowl I and II in 1967 and 1968. The packers pride themselves to e the only non-profit team that is community owned in the professional major leagues in the United States. Their rivals are the Chicago Bears who they have competed against I over 170 games, other rivals include the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys.
With these two NFL teams mentioned the remain teams making up the NFL are as follows;
The AFC Conference consists of;
East – Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and New York Jets
North – Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers
South – Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans
West – Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers
The NFL Teams competing in the NFC are as follows;
East – Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins
North – Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings
South – Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Indianapolis Real Estate: Cities in a City
Monday, October 5th, 2009
Jordan FeRoss asked:
Everyone knows that Indianapolis lies in the heart of Indiana. But did you know that Indianapolis is the 12th largest city in the country? How about that Indianapolis attracts more than 20 million visitors each year? It’s true! It’s also true that it’s been rated one of the nation’s best values for real estate, homes, and cost of living. The Indianapolis Real Estate market is a point of interest for any sports fan.
Calling all sports fans! The Indianapolis Real Estate market appeals to sports fans everywhere. Now, home of the 2007 Indianapolis Colts, Indianapolis is also home of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that hosts the Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400, and the only Formula One race in America. If you’re a die-hard racing fan, which we all know that all racing fans are die-hard, Indianapolis is a perfect place for you. It was also named “#1 Pro Sports City” in the United States in 2003. It is also the national headquarters for the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Indianapolis has two different cities and one town located inside of it. Indianapolis itself is located in Marion County and the City of Beech Grove, the City of Lawrence, and the Town of Speedway are all a part of the Greater Indianapolis Metropolitan Area. This makes the Indianapolis Real Estate Market diverse and limitless.
The City of Beech Grove was incorporated into the state in 1906. It lies in the Southeast portion of Marion County. Although there are a few large businesses in the City of Beech Grove, it is mostly a residential community. Therefore, the Indianapolis Real Estate, or better yet, the City of Beech Grove Real Estate, has many homes for sale for you to look at.
The City of Lawrence is the 16th largest city in Indiana. The City of Lawrence is home to many businesses including gyms, coffee shops, and Christian stores. It has a small town living feel with the convenience of a big city. If you’re looking into Indianapolis Real Estate and you think that The City of Lawrence might be a good fit for you, there are many realtors ready and willing to assist you at your convenience. Ala Carte Realty is one of the many and they’re located on N. Post Road in The City of Lawrence.
The Town of Speedway, Indiana was incorporated in 1926 and yes, it’s the home of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Although the town lies within Indianapolis, it has it’s own government which includes its own police department, school system, public library, parks and recreation, and street and fire department. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is only six miles from downtown Indianapolis which makes this town the ultimate destination for race fans and makes the real estate in this town of Indianapolis valuable.
Just a quick search online produces a wide range of home prices for all three of these locations. The range on homes went from $69,900 and above depending on location and type of home. Whether you’re a big racing fan or just love the convenience of big city living in a small town, the Indianapolis Real Estate Market will have something for you.

Buy, Watch Or Pass - Week 7
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
Alex The Great asked:
QB’s
Joey Harrington, Miami Dolphins 414 pass yds, 2 TD’s, 3 INT’s
Daunte Culpepper was supposed to make Miami a Super Bowl contender, but he hasn’t lived up to the player he once was and eventually got hurt again. In his place while he recovers is once promising Joey Harrington. The 414 passing yards from Sunday sure looks impressive, but that came from 62 pass attempts. He completed 33 of those for a 53% completion rate, not exactly awe inspiring. To his defense though, two of those interceptions came on tipped balls & 7 seven of his passes were dropped. In any case, don’t go racing to waiver wire to pick him up. His performance came against a putrid Green Bay secondary and outside of a game against Detroit; the rest of Miami’s schedule isn’t very favorable. Will Culpepper reclaim the starting job once he returns? Who knows, but I do know not to buy into this situation. PASS
Mark Brunell, Washington Redskins 226 pass yds, 2 TD’s
Mark Brunell has been one of the most inconsistent Fantasy QB’s this year. He’ll do well against good secondaries and then play horrible against bad ones. While Indianapolis doesn’t have a great secondary, they aren’t bad either, and he managed to get 226 yards & 2 touchdowns. The offensive coordinator, Al Saunders, was supposed to spark this Washington offense, but for some reason he hasn’t done so. One might look no further than his inability to correctly use Santana Moss. They are constantly using short routes; however their best receiver is an awesome deep threat. All things considered, Brunell is an intriguing pickup because of the favorable schedule he has the rest of the way & he has the tools on offense to put up better numbers. Can’t recommend him as a starter, but he certainly is worthy of a roster spot as a backup if you are in need of one. BUY
Jon Kitna, Detroit Lions 269 pass yds, 3 TD’s, 2 INT’s
If you look at the top fantasy QB’s, you will see Jon Kitna on that list. Wait, Jon Kitna? Surprisingly enough, he hasn’t thrown for less than 225 in a game this year and has 10 total touchdowns in his last 5 games. On the other hand, he’s also been consistent with turnovers by turning the ball over at least once in his last 6 games, a total of 12 turnovers overall. So unfortunately what you see is what you get with Kitna. His schedule is a mixed bag the rest of the way, but he does posses a very nice matchup against Green Bay during the Fantasy Football playoffs. If he’s still available, grab him and put him on your bench. He’s worth the roster spot. BUY
David Carr, Houston Texans 224 pass yds, 2 TD’s
David Carr has been one of the nicer stories in the NFL. Thought to be on the bubble for his job as the season began, he’s compiled a nice 97.9 passer rating & completing 70% of his passes. While that’s certainly starting QB worthy in the NFL, in the Fantasy Football world, we need more than that. If you throw out the Dallas game, Carr has been very consistent. He still plays with a poor offensive line, so instead of worrying about interceptions, you’ll still be worried about fumbles. He has some nice matchups mixed with some bad ones, so it’s hard to say what to expect the rest of the way. Carr plays on a poor team, but if they start playing better (like they just did against Jacksonville), then he’d be worth a pickup down the road. WATCH
Charlie Batch, Pittsburgh Steelers 195 pass yds, 2 TD’s
During the middle of the third quarter against the Falcons on Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger got knocked out of the game, allowing veteran Charlie Batch to come in and do some damage. Batch completed 8 of 13 passes for 195 yards & 2 TD’s. This isn’t the first time this season Batch has looked good. He started the season opener against Miami and threw for 209 yards and 3 touchdowns in that game. The Steelers offense doesn’t seem to miss a beat when he’s in, and personally I think he looks better than Roethlisberger does. Even if Batch finds more starts due to Roethlistberger’s injuries, the schedule is not very favorable, though he did dismantle a good Falcons secondary. Pay attention to what’s happening in Pittsburgh. Batch may be a nice play if he finds the time. WATCH
RB’s
Leon Washington, New York Jets 129 rush yds, 2 TD’s
It seems the New York Jets have finally decided on a starter in the form of Leon Washington. The rookie from Florida State is playing rather well, averaging 4.9 yards a carry & ran for his first 2 touchdowns last Sunday. While Jets head coach Eric Mangini says he’ll still share carries with Barlow, he did receive more on Sunday and it’ll be hard not to give him the football more based on his recent performances. Looking at the rest of the Jets schedule, 5 out of the 9 games are against poor run defenses. The only thing hurting Washington is that he may not receive the goal line carries, but you can’t pass up a productive starting running back. BUY
Wali Lundy, Houston Texans 93 rush yds, 15 rec yds, 1 TD
Another rookie making some noise was Wali Lundy. He ran for 93 yards on only 19 carries and a TD. He didn’t receive the start, but got more carries and was much more effective than Samkon Gado. Lundy has yet to receive the official label as starter but it could just be a matter time. Of course I would want to see more before deciding to pick him up, but Houston’s schedule the rest of the way is FULL of poor run defenses. This situation bears your full attention. WATCH
Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars 10 rush yds, 58 rec yds, 1 TD
Another game, another touchdown for Maurice Jones-Drew. Though he only rushed for 10 yards on 8 carries against a poor run defense, he did get a total of 15 touches, showing that Jacksonville is including him heavily in the game plan. He now has 5 touchdowns in the last 4 games. Jacksonville also has a light schedule against run defenses & Fred Taylor always seems to get hurt sometime during the season. If he’s still available, you should go get him now while you have the chance. BUY
WR’s
Marty Booker, Miami Dolphins 110 rec yds, 1 TD
The Miami Dolphins offense threw the ball 62 times, and one of the beneficiaries was Marty Booker. But I’m going to make this short and sweet; his performance came against a very ugly Green Bay secondary, he still hasn’t separated himself from Derek Hagan or Wes Welker for more playing time & the quarterback situation is still unsettled. This is an anomaly. PASS
Mike Furrey, Pittsburgh Steelers 109 rec yds, 1 TD
Mike Furrey certainly surprised a lot of people by becoming the #2 wide receiver in Detroit. He played well again on Sunday, by hauling in 109 yards and a TD. He’s been a hot and cold receiver this season, looking good one week (82 yards & 2 TD’s against St. Louis) and then looking average the next (80 combined yards against Minnesota & Buffalo). He hasn’t played bad by any means, he’s just been consistently mediocre. There aren’t many good matchups the rest of the way, but as long as he’s starting in Detroit, he bears watching. WATCH
Marcus Robinson, Minnesota Vikings 77 rec yds, 1 TD
Marcus Robinson hauled in his third touchdown of the year and contributed 77 total receiving yards in the Vikings slaughter of the Seahawks. Robinson can be a nice deep threat from time to time, but he gets hurt too much & isn’t the focal point in the Vikings offense. Pretend like you have never even heard the name before. PASS
Nate Washington, Pittsburgh Steelers 76 rec yds, 1 TD
Everybody got into the act in that high scoring affair against the Falcons, including Nate Washington. For the second straight week he’s hauled in a touchdown and 65+ yards. He’s developing into a very nice #3 option for the Steelers, but that means nothing to your fantasy team. Hines Ward & Santonio Holmes are still ahead of him on the depth chart and both looked good on Sunday. Third receivers have no fantasy value. PASS

QB’s
Joey Harrington, Miami Dolphins 414 pass yds, 2 TD’s, 3 INT’s
Daunte Culpepper was supposed to make Miami a Super Bowl contender, but he hasn’t lived up to the player he once was and eventually got hurt again. In his place while he recovers is once promising Joey Harrington. The 414 passing yards from Sunday sure looks impressive, but that came from 62 pass attempts. He completed 33 of those for a 53% completion rate, not exactly awe inspiring. To his defense though, two of those interceptions came on tipped balls & 7 seven of his passes were dropped. In any case, don’t go racing to waiver wire to pick him up. His performance came against a putrid Green Bay secondary and outside of a game against Detroit; the rest of Miami’s schedule isn’t very favorable. Will Culpepper reclaim the starting job once he returns? Who knows, but I do know not to buy into this situation. PASS
Mark Brunell, Washington Redskins 226 pass yds, 2 TD’s
Mark Brunell has been one of the most inconsistent Fantasy QB’s this year. He’ll do well against good secondaries and then play horrible against bad ones. While Indianapolis doesn’t have a great secondary, they aren’t bad either, and he managed to get 226 yards & 2 touchdowns. The offensive coordinator, Al Saunders, was supposed to spark this Washington offense, but for some reason he hasn’t done so. One might look no further than his inability to correctly use Santana Moss. They are constantly using short routes; however their best receiver is an awesome deep threat. All things considered, Brunell is an intriguing pickup because of the favorable schedule he has the rest of the way & he has the tools on offense to put up better numbers. Can’t recommend him as a starter, but he certainly is worthy of a roster spot as a backup if you are in need of one. BUY
Jon Kitna, Detroit Lions 269 pass yds, 3 TD’s, 2 INT’s
If you look at the top fantasy QB’s, you will see Jon Kitna on that list. Wait, Jon Kitna? Surprisingly enough, he hasn’t thrown for less than 225 in a game this year and has 10 total touchdowns in his last 5 games. On the other hand, he’s also been consistent with turnovers by turning the ball over at least once in his last 6 games, a total of 12 turnovers overall. So unfortunately what you see is what you get with Kitna. His schedule is a mixed bag the rest of the way, but he does posses a very nice matchup against Green Bay during the Fantasy Football playoffs. If he’s still available, grab him and put him on your bench. He’s worth the roster spot. BUY
David Carr, Houston Texans 224 pass yds, 2 TD’s
David Carr has been one of the nicer stories in the NFL. Thought to be on the bubble for his job as the season began, he’s compiled a nice 97.9 passer rating & completing 70% of his passes. While that’s certainly starting QB worthy in the NFL, in the Fantasy Football world, we need more than that. If you throw out the Dallas game, Carr has been very consistent. He still plays with a poor offensive line, so instead of worrying about interceptions, you’ll still be worried about fumbles. He has some nice matchups mixed with some bad ones, so it’s hard to say what to expect the rest of the way. Carr plays on a poor team, but if they start playing better (like they just did against Jacksonville), then he’d be worth a pickup down the road. WATCH
Charlie Batch, Pittsburgh Steelers 195 pass yds, 2 TD’s
During the middle of the third quarter against the Falcons on Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger got knocked out of the game, allowing veteran Charlie Batch to come in and do some damage. Batch completed 8 of 13 passes for 195 yards & 2 TD’s. This isn’t the first time this season Batch has looked good. He started the season opener against Miami and threw for 209 yards and 3 touchdowns in that game. The Steelers offense doesn’t seem to miss a beat when he’s in, and personally I think he looks better than Roethlisberger does. Even if Batch finds more starts due to Roethlistberger’s injuries, the schedule is not very favorable, though he did dismantle a good Falcons secondary. Pay attention to what’s happening in Pittsburgh. Batch may be a nice play if he finds the time. WATCH
RB’s
Leon Washington, New York Jets 129 rush yds, 2 TD’s
It seems the New York Jets have finally decided on a starter in the form of Leon Washington. The rookie from Florida State is playing rather well, averaging 4.9 yards a carry & ran for his first 2 touchdowns last Sunday. While Jets head coach Eric Mangini says he’ll still share carries with Barlow, he did receive more on Sunday and it’ll be hard not to give him the football more based on his recent performances. Looking at the rest of the Jets schedule, 5 out of the 9 games are against poor run defenses. The only thing hurting Washington is that he may not receive the goal line carries, but you can’t pass up a productive starting running back. BUY
