The Million Dollar Challenge

Written by Andrew on .

It seems that everyday, I have someone call me "yella" and hock a loogey at my boots. Like the fastest gun in the West, everyone wants a piece of MDS. They don't like my reputation, they don't like my attitude and they don't like my stunning good looks. I'll snake a player from you and then turn around and snake your woman. They don't call me the Million Dollar Sleeper for no reason. I am a living legend and I'm willing to prove it, against anyone and everyone. It doesn't matter if you're mean enough to hunt bears with a hickory switch. It doesn't matter if your lip hangs down like a blacksmith's apron. It doesn't matter if you're crazier than a run over coon. It doesn't matter if all you have under your hat is hair. It doesn't matter if your mustache smells like a mildewed saddle blanket after it had been rid on a soreback hoss three hundred miles in August. I'm taking on everyone and you could be next.

New Poll

Written by Andrew on .

The day after I posted the Eagles QB poll, Andy Reid casted his vote by starting Michael Vick. We all know how that worked out. Kevin Kolb actually won the Million Dollar Faceoff (barely) and is now back at the helm for the Eagles. I voted for Vick and dropped Kolb before the game in two leagues to clear roster space, so technically I jinxed Vick after he made a brave comeback from electrocuting a bunch of dogs.

A new poll is up, regarding Dwight Howard and his MockDraftCentral.com ADP (17.21). In leagues that do not score FT% or TO, Howard ranked in as the second best player last season (according to BasketballMonster.com). In standard nine category leagues, Howard ranked in at 37. D12 is obviously a first round pick in head-to-head leagues, but this poll is for roto leagues.

Keith has him ranked numero 14 on the Fantasy Basketball Corporate Ladder so we know his vote. I, on the other hand, do not like to handcuff myself into drafting specific players (you can miss out on a lot of value). An auction league would be easier to accumulate the high FT% players, but in a snake draft, you could be asking for trouble. I say "No way, Jose Canseco", but what do you think? Hit up the sidebar poll to cast your vote.

Arch Rivals Blog League

Written by Andrew on .


Get Ready, Tyrone! We're rolling out the red carpet for another Million Dollar Blog League, Arch Rivals Fantasy Basketball. The league has a standard feel to it: 12 team (possibly 14) rotisserie, the usual 9 scoring categories and 10 starting roster slots (plus 3 bench). This will be a Live Auction Draft set for Sunday, the 17th at 7:00 PM Central. If you can't make the draft, please don't ask for an invite. Similar to it's namesake, we do encourage (verbal) punches to the face and we will have cutscenes after I score points. To get your invite, post a comment here or hit me up via the Contact link above.

Fantasy Basketball Corporate Ladder

The Fantasy Basketball Corporate Ladder is now up and running. Keith Petrower will govern the ladder and will attempt to update it every Thursday. Keith was the very first podcast host to have me on his show, back in the day. You may remember him from Fantasy555.com and you can harass him here in the comments or here on Twitter (brand spanking new account). When you heckle Keith, make sure to tell him how much Russell Westbrook sucks. Make the jump to get your prize; if the shine from the gold (in all it's glory) stuns your retinas, you can check out the Wordpress version of the Top 100 Players. Word.

Fantasy Basketball is quickly approaching, I know I have a draft coming this weekend, so it's only appropriate to do a little something, something for the bball draft season.

Make the jump to see their favorite breakout players, sleepers, busts and overall strategy when assembling a championship caliber team.

Welcome Back Raymo!

Written by Andrew on .

Happy happy, joy joy! Randy's back and Green Bay is in trouble, hey now, hey now, Randy's back! Randy Moss has been traded to the Minnesota Vikings and everyone is singing and dancing in the land of 10,000 lakes, except traffic officers who don't get out of the way of blunt smoking superstars. Let's look around the league and see who is happy and who is frowning with the departure/arrival of one Randall Gene Moss.

Gruesome Twosome

It's not quite Halloween yet, but you're about to get tricked out for some candy by the Gruesome Twosome. I'll be dressed up in my old school Randy Moss jersey and trying to pay attention to Starbs while day dreaming of Brett Favre throwing concussion induced, prescription pill coated, Hail Mary passes to Raymo. We're talking all things Fantasy Football. Week Four, Frank Gore, Matt Moore and the Yankees exiting the playoff door!!!  OK, some of that we won't talk about and the sweep of the Skankees isn't technically Fantasy Football. Free feel to encroach the airwaves and call-in with any questions or comments.

Starbonell Station
LIVE show Thursday 8:00 PM Central

Team MVP

Written by Andrew on .

Team MVP: fantasy baseball's Most Valuable Playas. If you came away with this team after your draft, you probably renamed your team the Staten Island Dump. If you seen your team full of these playas now, you probably think you're God's gift to fantasy baseball. Owning even a few of these guys is enough reason to do a little fist pumping. Make the jump to see fantasy baseball's MVPs and a bunch of players who will be overrated in 2011. Feel free to brag, boast and flash your six pack in the comments.

Somewhere on this box is a number for some hot, steamy phone-sex.

"...the box has the wrong toll-free prefix, meaning callers get a seductive-sounding woman who makes risque suggestions and then asks for a credit card number." [Yahoo!]

From what I hear, the cereal company is based in Pittsburgh and it was an "honest" mistake. Sure, that's about an honest mistake as Big Ben needing his TV repaired and strippers telling me they like me. I don't see what the big deal is though, morning wood is apart of a balanced breakfast, right?
