Ebs’ Under-the-Radar Players for the 2018 Fantasy Football Season
FROM THE PRESS BOX – As we approach the first full week of the NFL preseason, it’s time to start thinking about fantasy football. Before I get into this week’s breakdown, which is my top 3 under-the-radar players to draft this fantasy season, I want to stress my draft strategy this year. Generally, I think […]
Big Ben Tuesday: Giants to Stand Pat and Draft Barkley or Darnold
Stamford, CT: The Big Ragu really saved Villanova last night, eh? But the most interesting thing going on in New York at the moment is the still the NFL draft. There are endless possibilities at the top and the New York Giants and New York Jets are pivotal players. There are four billion ways it […]
Big Ben Tuesday: The QB Shuffle Heats Up, What Will the Giants Do?
Mount Doom, Mordor: Now that the NFL season is over, the QB Shuffle is about to heat up. With a strong crop of young guns coming out of college and a plethora of teams in need of a competent QB, the jockeying for position is sure to be intense. Not as intense as the Philly […]
Cheesy Bruin’s Free NFL Playoffs Picks, Vikings Cheerleaders, NFL Notes
MARLBORO, NY – Last week’s opening round of the NFL Playoffs was a wacky one, where all four underdogs beat the spread and two (Atlanta and Tennessee) won outright. There was a little bit of everything last weekend; a large blown lead by the Chefs Chiefs… a low-scoring snoozer between Buffalo and Jacksonville… a back-door […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: Packers, Cowboys, Jerry Jones, LeBron and Other Year-End Schadenfreude
BRONX, NY – The Mets have brought Omar Minaya back. Sweet Baby Jesus. I really can’t bear to talk about the Mets right now. The year is almost up, I’d rather focus on the positives, even if they’re kinda negatives… at least, for some. Let’s do this. Green Bay is Gone. After losing to Carolina 2 weeks […]
Big Ben Tuesday: Knicks Poo, QB Heavy NFL Championship Games, Jets Bare QB Outlook
Stamford, CT – There’s a lot going on in the Whitney house these days. I’ve got month old twin girls keeping me up at night, taking turns crying in a suspiciously coordinated manner. Meanwhile, my lab puppy Chief has been vomiting a few times a day. He ate a sock, it turned out, but he would immediately eat […]
What Ebs’ Learned: Syracuse Hoops, Atlanta Hawks, NFL Playoffs, College Football Playoffs
WILKES-BARRE, PA – Without the Buffalo Bills playing this weekend, I didn’t quite know what to do. The Wild Card round was cool and all, but I had a pretty good hunch each one of the four games was going to be a blowout. And the game I was looking forward to most – the […]
NFL Stuff: Giants Sputter, Big 4, Possible Interlopers, Unwatchable Jets, Tom Brady Record
WESTCHESTER, NY – It was a tough weekend for our heroes, the NY Giants. The defense did its part, with Olivier Vernon and Eli Apple playing particularly well, but the offense sputtered again. This offense has more starts and stops than a porn set. Er, I assume. While this year’s top draft pick is trending up, […]
Week 5: Cheesy Bruin’s Free NFL Picks and News
ENGLISHTOWN, NJ – Nobody’s perfect, is how the saying goes, and after yet another 3-1 Sunday, the third in a row, I’m proof that even the best of handicappers have a hard time hitting 4 of 4. With the season record at 10-6 (63%) through four weeks, I’m looking for a Grand Slam with today’s […]
Old Fart Cheesy Bruin: No Facebook Baseball, NFL Draft, Mets
MARLBORO, NY – I was all set to make predictions for the opening round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs but the bottom half of the standings in each conference are as muddled as my life, so those prognostications will have to wait. What I do know is the Boston Bruins are in, as are […]
