Posted: 28th November 2009 by Evan Silva in NBA
Check Out My NFL Week 12á Picks Fox Sports' Stephen A. Smith is reporting that the Sixers appear to be on the verge of signing Allen Iverson, possibly as early as this upcoming week. With rookie Jrue Holiday set to fill in for Lou Williams over the next two months, the Sixers could use the help. In addition, the number of tickets that Iverson would sell has to interest Philly.

Silva Thankgiving Red Zone: Maroney can be a go-to guy

Posted: 26th November 2009 by Evan Silva in NFL
Thanksgiving is always a weird time. Maybe because it's the only time of the year that we get a couple days off just to recover from our impending poultry hangovers (and spend time with family, but come on, I'm in it for the Turkey). Or, more likely, it could be that this Thursday is the one day per year we are forced to choose between watching an entire Lions game or ...
Hello and good day. Since most of us have sickeningly large mountains of mashed potatoes to stab with a giant fork and food comas to plummet into for the duration of our semi-delirious waking hours, we're going to get right down to business with… Important Things That Happened Wednesday Afternoon It was actually a pretty quiet afternoon, except for the fact that Allen Iverson announced his retirement, ...
Normal Sized Leagues I guess the definition of a normal-sized league, at least in my mind, is one consisting of 10 to 12 teams with rosters somewhere around 12-15 players. That should cover a majority of the fantasy hoops leagues in existence. If your league is any smaller than that, the waiver options are endless and it's just too difficult to try to figure out whether you ...

Silva Thankgiving Football Dose: The Turkeys are Here

Posted: 26th November 2009 by Evan Silva in NFL
From everyone here at The Dose, a very happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and your fantasy football teams. Enjoy the games and have a great day. It's around this time every year I start making "never again" and "dead to me" declarations. As in, I'll never take x again and y is dead to me. Sometimes it's warranted and sometimes it's not. For instance, Vernon Davis was ...

Silva Week 12: Turkey Day Rankings

Posted: 26th November 2009 by Evan Silva in NFL
It's Thanksgiving week, and we still don't know that much about the Cowboys offense. The rushing attack has gone from powerful to punchless and back to promising. Miles Austin went from the waiver wire to the top-five to somewhere in between after defenses started to adjust. Jason Witten is still catches passes, but his yards-per-catch average would make Ike Hilliard blush. Witten is a gametime decision this week, which doesn't help. The ...

Silva: Thanksgiving Matchups

Posted: 25th November 2009 by Evan Silva in NFL
Green Bay Packers (6-4) at Detroit Lions (2-8) 12:30 PM ET (The Sleeping Game) Green Bay, victors in four of its last six, figures to dominate this one from start to finish. The Lions own the No. 32 pass defense, give up the NFL's second most passing touchdowns, and are without SS Ko Simpson (knee). You won't find a better Week 12 matchup than Aaron Rodgers' indoors on Thanksgiving. Donald ...

Silva Week 10 Waiver Wire Report

Posted: 14th November 2009 by Evan Silva in NFL
Passing Fancy Following Alex Smith's four-turnover performance that led directly to a Titans win in Week 9, coach Mike Singletary did nothing but praise his starting quarterback. "Alex had only one play that was really on him," Singletary said Monday, pointing out that the other miscues were a result of the ball just taking "an unlucky bounce." Needless to say, Smith enjoys plenty of job security at the moment. In another encouraging ...
