The name Mike Shanahan has a special place in the pits of dynasty league owners’ stomachs. Shanny is notoriously the toughest coach to predict as far as depth charts and production of fantasy players go, especially running backs. When he was named the new head coach in Washington, there was immediate and justified panic among owners of a lot of Redskins players. Now that most of the personnel shakeups have ...
Micheal Vick.
You hear that name and instantly begin to sigh. So much potential in that man, so much talent that could be put to good use if only he had a good head on his shoulders.
Almost everyone knows about the dogfighting scandal that jailed Vick for 21 months, so there is no need to elaborate on that. But over Memorial Day weekend, Vick took a lump-sum of $5,000 to attend ...

Assistant General Manager Jim Nill is hopeful the Detroit Red Wings' higher-than-usual 21st pick will yield a solid player, but he's also realistic.
"When you pick a little bit higher, it just gives you an opportunity to get a player that you otherwise might not be able to get," said Nill. "In a perfect world, we want somebody who's 6'4" and fast and skilled, but we know that's probably not going ...

In what has become an annual tradition, here I am again with another edition of my NHL Entry Draft journal. I started the journal during the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and continued it last summer when I was in Toronto for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
This year, I intend to do the same thing: entertain you, in addition to providing analysis on (in my opinion) the best non-Stanley Cup related event ...
