Harmon: Business, Not Personal In Chicago

History, legacy and empire-building …. and taking negotiations public in a bad way. That’s what we saw on Thursday when long-rumored discussions about the Bears potentially leaving Soldier Field for suburban Arlington Heights. Bears brass confirmed a bid on the site of Arlington Park (truly a gorgeous facility for horse racing spectators and bettors for […]

Harmon’s Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings

The time has finally come to get things rolling on the 2019 NFL season. The Bears and Packers get things started, and we have some interesting dilemmas immediately. Everyone loves some Aaron Rodgers, but how highly does he rank against Chuck Pagano’s defense? And the Antonio Brown news creates some chaos to go along with […]

Harmon Joins Illinois Media School Talking Chicago & Career

Tuesday afternoon, I had a fun opportunity to chat with the next generation of sports talking heads at the Illinois Media School. Keith Susmarski and Jack Savio invited me to ponder the meaning of life, talk some Chicago and Los Angeles sports and travel the long and winding road of my career in sports media. […]

Harmon’s Week 5 Fantasy Rankings

Yes. Tom Brady returns to the field following a questionable (to my eyes, anyway) suspension. Yes, Rob Gronkowski is ready (we think) to quiet the supermarket gawkers. Week 5 of the NFL season began with the Drew Stanton-led Cardinals beating the 49ers. Following the game, details started to emerge about a possible restructuring of Colin […]

Harmon’s UPDATED Week 4 Fantasy Rankings

The injury notes have been coming in rapid-fire style throughout Sunday morning. So, the rankings have been updated and secondary/tertiary receiving/running options shuffled accordingly. We’ve got the Jaguars and Colts ready to roll in London in about 40 minutes. Enjoy the pomp and circumstance. Let’s see if we can build on a big Week 3 […]

Harmon’s Early Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings

I’ll ponder life on a grander level here as the weekend approaches (Friday practice notes will shuffle a number of things), but I felt compelled to get rankings up quickly ahead of the Texans-Patriots battle. Jacoby Brissett is the man of the hour, and he’ll have Rob Gronkowski at the ready. Check out the early […]

Harmon’s Week 3 Fantasy Waiver Wire

Following another uneven and miserable Monday Night Football game, we move forward to Week 3. The Eagles manhandled a beleaguered Bears squad and sent several players, including quarterback Jay Cutler, to the injury list. I’ll expand the game review here soon enough. You can listen to my immediate reactions of the MNF game on the […]

Harmon’s Final Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings

The games of Week 2 began with a thriller on Thursday night between the Bills and Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick shredded the Buffalo secondary, Eric Decker’s wife opened the door for one million nicknames … and Matt Forte crashed through a Dareus-less run defense for three touchdowns. With Gronkowski and Ertz out, the tight end position […]

Harmon’s FINAL Preseason Fantasy Ranks

Last call! Final fantasy football drafts for 2016 are being conducted ahead of Thursday’s Super Bowl rematch between the Broncos and Panthers. Naturally, my Northwestern-loving self can’t wait to see Trevor Siemian under center for Denver. But, it’s about the start of a 256-game journey to the postseason. Will Tom Brady return from suspension to […]

Harmon’s Fantasy Football Draft Rankings 2016

It’s the beautiful time of year. College football begins in earnest this weekend, and we’re just one week away from the first of 256 regular season NFL games. OK, you can lop off the final 16 games for fantasy purposes. When we are referencing Major League Baseball, we joke about the fact that “hope springs […]

Story In The Shadows: 85 Bears On Real Sports

I first saw this teaser trailer over the weekend and winced. My South Side Chicago roots are no secret, and my affinity for the Bears comes through in my radio/video work with some regularity.

Harmon’s Quick-Hit Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Championship Week

We tried to keep it short, so rolling out Marvin Jones, replacements for Jordan Cameron (concussion) and throwbacks to players like Jordan Todman and company couldn’t be done. Of course, as this Championship Week rolls on, numerous players are being shut down. Matt Schaub is back into the mix for the Texans. Ben Tate is […]

Harmon’s Week 5 Pro Football Picks SU & ATS

Remember, the Vikings, Steelers, Redskins and Buccaneers take their Bye this week. Last week was a mess in terms of “Straight Up” selections.

FMC: That’s What We Love About Football – The Bostic Hit

It’s quickly coming into focus. In 20 days, the National Football League will begin its 2013 regular season. Fans and fantasy owners dismiss the first two weeks of the preseason schedule, citing the lack of playing time for regulars and embracing the lazy talk show fodder of preseason ticket prices. The first jaw-dropping hit of […]
