Harmon’s Fair Market Fantasy Salary Cap Divisional Round
It’s time to rack it up again with another Fair Market Fantasy contest. I had great success in the Wild Card round and won my 10-team contest, getting tremendous value from T.Y.

Man Channels His Inner Peter Griffin In Raising A Duckling
Longtime listeners to my ranting know of my obsession with Peter Griffin and the one-liners put forth by Seth MacFarlane and his team on “Family Guy.” One episode and its dialogue routinely makes it way into conversations and diatribes and, given the obsession with the Neckbeard of one Andrew Luck, the timing of this article […]
Wild Card Weekend: Harmon’s Fantasy Squad

Bears-Packers In The Spotlight in Week 17 Playoff Push
For most members of the Fantasy Football universe, the regular season came to an end in conjunction with the closing of Candlestick Park.

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?

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 […]
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 […]

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.
