If you're a subscriber and have a league at myfantasyleague, nfl.com, espn, cbs, ffpc, RTSports, or flea-flicker, we are working on a system that will allow you to keep your roster automatically synched. (NOTE: yahoo coming very soon. Sorry about the delay.) If you have a league not hosted...

Joe mentioned this in an email a few nights ago. He's fascinated by the concept of the Wisdom of Crowds and no one has a wiser crowd than we do. So we're going to see what happens when we let you all build a set of community rankings. The basics: you answer up to 50 WDIS questions per day...

Didn't want to pollute the Hines Ward thread with this trivia Q... This prompted me to run some numbers.Ward has led his team in receiving yards 7 times (one of those was a tie, but I'll count it). As you might guess, that's not super-strong for a Hall of Famer, but it's not totally...

Feedback welcome. TIA.

This was told by Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean on Nashville sports radio yesterday. Prior to the draft in 2006, Maroney was making the standard visits to team facilities. The Titans needed a running back and were apparently interested in Maroney. He had a good visit and all the Titans' people...

Only three players in history have had a 100-yard rushing game in the postseason for two different franchises. Name them.

What player led the NFL in rushes during the time period 2007--2009? Usual rules apply: feel free to cheat (the answer is not hard to find), but if you do, don't post the answer here until someone gets it honestly.

WARNING: if you're not interested in completely useless posts, then you'd better move along.... I was watching Texas Tech's bowl game the other night and, upon seeing Taylor Potts, I thought it was odd to see a QB with a full beard. I tried to think of other QBs with beards. Dan Fouts...

Since the regular contest is so darn popular, we decided to try to build a postseason contest that retains as much of the same flavor as possible. I think you'll find lots of good strategy considerations here. Brief rule summary: # This is a survivor-style contest. After the first weekend, we...

We are hoping to do several weekly contests at FBG this season. Mostly for fun, possibly some small prizes, possibly not. To test out the scripts that run the contests, I'm running baseball pick 'ems. If there is interest, I'll try to do one for every day's games. Here is a thread where I...

As those of you who closely followed last year's subscriber contest thread know, no one --- NO ONE --- is a bigger contest geek than I am. I love contests with off-the-beaten path rules that provide for nuanced strategy. So Joe and David gave me permission to cook up what I call the...

Still beta, but as always I'm letting the Shark Pool know about it first. If you're a subscriber and have a MyFBG profile that has players in it, you can mess around and see whether a given trade would help or hurt you. Go here and find the trade analyzer, which is the second thing down. Let...

This is beta for now, please give it a trial run and let me know if anything looks funny.

If you have a MyFBG profile and have your teams entered, clicking here should grab the news for just your players.

[i'm not particularly interested in the Texans in particular. Just pretend they are a generic team with a mid-first-round pick.] I know there have been threads about passing on the #1 pick and so forth, but there is always a lot of cross talk and I never can figure out what people really...

I'm trying to put together a comprehensive list of games that were played in a stadium other than the one that would be considered the team's home stadium for that year. To be more specific, I'm looking for teams that played "home" games in more than one location in the same year. Here's what...

It is a very different format from past years. Entry form Here are the full rules, but I'll post the gist of it right here: The object of the contest is to answer 35 yes-or-no questions. You get points for each correct answer, but the number of points you get for a given correct answer...
