The Fantasy Football continues…
Time for the lowly last folks drafted, the Kickers. Here is my Top 10 List:
Rmember folks, kickers are important, those are great points to win you a week in a head to head league. So do not be afraid to step up in the middle rounds and grab a top kicker.

Ok People,
Time to get to the Money Players, the Quarterbacks.
For the current fantasy season these are my selections in the following order:
I know that alot of you will choke on the Kevin Kolb listed as number 4, but he is going to have a ton of passing in the Eagles offense. His numbers will be huge, unless the offensive line gets him killed. He will have a better year than Donovan McNabb, watch and see. Again, as per usual, you will have read it here first and then reported everywhere else latter.

Ok Pat’s fans time to have a quick discussion.
I want you to ignore the majority of sports radio for a moment. I have some very very sad news, news I should have put out back in February or January. Do not plan on Tom Brady being signed by the Patriots. If he is signed, which is unlikely to me, it will be because they use the franchise tag on him. With this screwed up agreement between the owners and players the next year or so, may apply to him in 2011. I will admit to not doing my homework on that end of things.
The issue is Brady wants to be the highest paid player / quarterback in all of Football. The cheap Kraft family wants him to take a home town discount. These two points of view will not find a middle ground. The Kraft family is famous for screwing players and not following thru on hand shake deals, on that just ask Curtis Martin and Bill Parcels.
So Patriot fans, be aware, you will start to hear how Tom Brady is not a team player and how slow he is starting to get, that is Patriot speak for “He wants too much money”. So enjoy 2010 folks, rebuilding is in your future for 2011.
Also the team leading in the club house for get Brady is the 49ers, remember you heard that here first.

Hello Peeps,
Well, it has been a good summer so far. Which has given me a break from the blog, but I will be back more often. Plus Football season is getting closer and closer.
Now, I am sure RedSox Nation is going to be flipping over the losing streak, but the world is not coming to an end. The honest truth is, the team is hurt and hurt badly, believe me I know, Beckett is on my fantasy team and he is killing me. Someone please get him away from JD Drew’s doctor, so he can pitch a god damn baseball again.
The other good truth to this is that the team, although they are losing is coming to play each and every night. They are giving effort each and every night, their are many many teams in baseball right now wish they could say the same thing. The team is also getting some of these young players some key experience, which will be helpful when it comes time for the August run for the wildcard / division.
So before you head to the Tobin bridge to jump, take a good hard look at who is on the injured list and think, even with those names on the list, the RedSox are only 3.5 games back from leading the division.
Know when to smile folks.

Hello People,
This 140M dollar dog team is starting to go down the tubes and it is going down the tubes quick. Mind you, MPDSports told you exactly how this would go, and begged, pleaded, and yelled for you to make different decisions. So now here we are at the start of May and the hole is getting deeper and deeper. This team has proven, as it is now constituted, that it cannot beat the top two teams the Yankees and the Rays. So far the RedSox is 1 and 5 vs the Yankees and 0 and 4 vs the Rays. The RedSox vs the Yankees have scored 20 runs, while the Yankees have scored 40, RedSox has scored 9 runs vs the Rays while the Rays have scored 26. Those stats are damning, and they are not going to get any better, does anyone right now really think that these stats are going to improve over time. Do we have any evidence that this team as it exists right now can improve. I am sorry but MPDSports does not believe that this is a winning team and the RedSox cannot win against the top teams in the AL East.
So RedSox management needs to make a decision. They need to either let this team suck and suck big time this year, or spend more money and pray for good things to happen. The hole that is dug, is deep. Currently the Redsox are 7.5 games behind Tampa and 7 games behind the Yankees. If you are going to spend more money to save this team, we suggest the following:

Hello People,
This was not a great draft. I would also say, not that many winners. I did not see really any team that had the great, incredible draft. It was nice to have it on prime time for the frst round. Which for me was awesome.
One of the things that still baffles me, is how on Gods green earth do you leave 2 pro style quarterbacks out of the first round. Especially in a draft that had very very few pro caliber Quarterbacks in it. Which leads me to the 3 teams that sucked in this draft.
That is it for now folks.

Hello Peeps,
Well their have been 4 series played so far. The RedSox have won 1 series against the Royals, which is what a 1/3 of the RedSox payroll. Now against winning teams (Yankees, Twins, and Rays) the RedSox have been smoked and smoked bad. For a team with a 170 million payroll, you have to start winning these kind of series. Right now you have a great chance of getting swept by the Rays in a 4 game series against your best pitching… That is a very very big problem.
Currently the team is batting .255, you had bases loaded with no outs in an extra inning game and cannot score a single freakin run. Then to make matters worse these new players that was supposed to play defense cannot play defense and your center fielder does not even look remotely comfortable in the postion. This team right now is tied for the 3rd worse in all of the American League in errors. Someone in mangement needs a wake up call.
It is early in the season, but things have to change or this very very expensive team could end up 4th or worse in the AL East and that is damning… You should be greatful that Baltimore has injuries to key players.

Hello People
When you lose to the Kansas City Royals who is like a 3rd of your payroll, your team has issues. Now lets be honest, I know it is early in the season but left field is a serious issues. Ellsbury is a center fielder and a great one at that. He simply does not have the arm for a corner outfielder position. This should have been obvious in spring training for a college team, why a major league franchise cannot figure this out escapes me.
The winning run by Kansas City should have been thrown out at home plate easily. I mean Manny would have thrown him out, remember folks Manny did throw people out at home plate, I know that fact does not sit well with the Red Sox Propaganda but it is the truth. You also know if Jason Bay was in that position he would have gunned that winning run out at home plate as well.
You have to play smart baseball and right now that is simply not happening and someone in the organization better wake up to that reality quickly or it is going to be a very very long season.
