Harmon’s 2024 Fantasy Football QB Draft Rankings

September 5, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Finally, the clock has wound to zero. Man, it seemed to be a longer offseason than normal. Clearly, the fact that the Bears drafted 1st overall and that GM Ryan Poles reworked the offense has the South Side Chicagoan in me fired up. So, the first day of Training Camp was like ripping open the first slot of an Advent Calendar heading toward Christmas. You grab the toy or piece of candy and you enjoy it. But you’re looking forward to that final slot. And we’re almost there. My finalized QB Draft Rankings are here as we get ready for Ravens-Chiefs. We have a number of new starters that create...

Who Was More Inspiring, Tom Brady Or Nick Selby?

We love inspirational speeches. There’s no question about it. From the time we first grab a glove to hit the diamond, buckle a chinstrap or sit down in the classroom, we’re looking to be inspired. Coaches, teachers and parents work to find the proper words to elevate our performance and keep us on the path toward domination. This week, we added two new entrants to the library. Tom Brady, longtime quarterback and NFL poster boy, appeared in front of this year’s University of Michigan squad to discuss his tenure at the school and the importance of being named Captain. The second... [Read the full story]

Harmon’s 2024 First-Round Mock Draft

April 25, 2024 · Leave a Comment

The long lying season has finally come to a conclusion. No, I’m not suggesting that there aren’t a number of false starts and bogus reports (beware spoof accounts) still to come. But, the countdown clock is on … and soon enough, Caleb Williams will become the next in a long line of Chicago Bears Quarterbacks. Quarterbacks have been the story of the offseason, be it the fights over next contracts (Hello, Dallas) or the order and number of Quarterbacks to be selected in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft. We’ve read myriad reports and critiques, including a number that didn’t... [Read the full story]

Fantasy Man-Crush: Julius Thomas, Hoops To Ninja

September 11, 2013 · Leave a Comment

I would just toss it up to Peyton Manning on the strength of his seven-touchdown performance in Week 1 against the Ravens. That would be too easy. We expected Manning to post a strong day and he delivered in a huge way. The Fantasy Man-Crush for Week 1 rolls to tight end Julius Thomas, who dominated the Baltimore secondary and got the Broncos rolling early in that game. Thomas caught Manning’s first two touchdown passes in that ridiculous display and finished the game with five receptions for 110 yards, including 51 YAC! He’s on the board for a huge encore performance against the... [Read the full story]
