Harmon’s Thanksgiving Day NFL Week 13 Picks SU & ATS
My head is spinning. I just can’t believe that Week 13 of this NFL season is already upon us. I found a cafe to work up some numbers ahead of the week and lingered as drunken revelers strolled down the street. The people-watching was absolutely fantastic. My hope had been to sleep a little later […]
Harmon’s NFL Week 13 Pre-Thanksgiving Fantasy Football Rankings
The short week brings us tryptophan-induced comas, mountains of food and THREE NFL games to get Week 13 started. It’s the final week ahead of the Fantasy Football Playoffs in many leagues, so owners are splitting hairs to find the right starter. Do you trust the Hot-Cold young options, like a Case Keenum? Do you […]
Weekly Quarterback Fantasy Scoring Leaders Through Week 11
It’s win or go home with the playoffs looming. As we cruise into Week 12 of the NFL season, some fantasy owners are looking for “safe,” consistent options. Others are willing to throw caution to the wind to find a high-ceiling option for an advantageous matchup. To that end, I took a moment to chart […]
Three Great Whites In Close Quarters South Of LAX
I believe the caption on the “Featured Image” about says it all. This video was shot just several miles up the coast from my southern California house. I frequently dip the toes in the water and get up into the wash while out with the family, but I never learned to surf and haven’t gone […]
Ron Burgundy And His Ode To Rob Ford On Conan
On Thursday, November 21st, the cast of “Anchorman” got together in Los Angeles to perform a live reading of the first film. Naturally, the arrival of cast members to Los Angeles opened the door to appearances on talk shows. Will Ferrell, in the guise of Ron Burgundy, made an appearance earlier in the week with […]
Harmon’s Week 12 NFL Picks SU & ATS
The clock is ticking toward the beginning of Week 12 of the NFL season. Is it just me, or has this season just flown by very quickly? The playoff chase is on, and we’ve finally come to the end of the Bye weeks. The schedule is replete with interesting matchups, including the 14th edition of […]
Harmon’s Early Week 12 Fantasy Football Rankings
The final week of Byes are upon us, just as you’re wringing your hands trying to field a lineup and work your way into the playoffs. The Bills, Seahawks, Bengals and Eagles take a seat, not to mention the myriad injured would-be fantasy starters. The action begins with the disappointing Falcons facing a dominant Saints […]
Chicago Blackhawks Ice Sells Out At $99 Per Vial
I love marketing. I love products that incorporate team logos and try to inspire and fuel a fan base. The Chicago Blackhawks put out a product that was the target of much derision, ridicule and scorn at the beginning of the week. “It’s just water.” “They won the Cup in Boston!” It sold out in […]
Was “Royals” By Lorde Inspired By Billy Butler?
I came across an interesting blog on MLB.com that discussed the infectious hit “Royals” by Lorde. Evidently, the Kansas City Royals are an inspiring bunch – straight to the top! – by signing baseballs. “Royals” as a buzzword to inspire art. I suspect that the tune becomes integrated in the 2014 marketing push. Get More: […]
Vince Vaughn On FSR Talking “Delivery Man” & Chicago Sports
Vince Vaughn’s new movie – “Delivery Man” – is set to hit theaters later this week. Vaughn plays a man who generously donated (frequently) to a sperm bank.

David Murphy’s Daughter Is Now A Baseball Insider From Daycare
As parents, we constantly test systems by which to communicate information and have it pass over the radar of the children. Think about it. You’re pushing information about trips, doctor visits (shots!), playdates and so on, trying to have a conversation between coloring sessions or watching bad children’s programming. Sometimes, the children are in on […]
Bonus Deleted “The Shawshank Redemption” Scenes
Anybody familiar with my work at Yahoo! Sports, FOXSports.com and FOX Sports Radio knows of my affinity for “The Shawshank Redemption,” an obsession that began at its release. It’s on that top-5 leaderboard of movies that you must watch to its conclusion if you spot it on cable television. It’s true. Frank Darabont, Morgan Freeman […]
FOXSports.com “Inside Fantasy” – Harmon Talks Saints-Falcons
When the NFL schedule came out long ago, this Thursday’s NFC South battle between the Falcons and Saints was one of the games circled as a huge test for Matt Ryan’s squad on its path to New York. Alas, injuries and inconsistent play by the offense coupled with a sieve-like defense have sent the Mike […]
Jimmie Johnson Responds To Donovan McNabb On FOX After Title Win
With the season finale on tap for Sunday, Donovan McNabb and the FOX Sports Live panel discussed NASCAR and drivers’, particularly Jimmie Johnson, standing in the sports world as “athletes.” McNabb declared point blank that Johnson was not an athlete, prompting rage in the Twitterverse & social media. Of course, it raised the age-old topic […]

SF Becomes Gotham City: Make-A-Wish & Batkid LIVE
I saw this story coming together some time ago, a beautiful city-wide event in support of a Make-A-Wish Foundation wish. I don’t believe in the “all news is negative” slant that many people take when discussing newspapers and the evening news. No, there are positive pieces in the mix. I know that we’re conditioned on […]

Harmon returns with a pick for the opener for Week 10. It’s time for the Thursday Night Football contest between the Redskins and Vikings. The Redskins are favored by 2.5 in Minnesota.
