      After Calvin Johnson Who Is #2 Fantasy Wide Receiver?

      August 24, 2012 /

      After last season’s 96 rec, 1,681 yard, 16 TD performance, “Megatron” is easily the #1 ranked WR in fantasy football- but who do you draft #2?

      Brandon Marshall– Even with five different QB’s during two years in MIA, Marshall averaged 83 rec, 1,100 yards and 5 TD a season. In 07-08 w/Cutler in DEN, averaged 103 rec, 1,295 and 6 TD. How bad have the Bears WR been historically? Check this link and Marshall is easily the best one EVER.

      Jordy Nelson– Since the 2010 playoffs, no WR has been more productive than Nelson. After a 15 TD 2011, some owners are scared he can’t match that production. But with Aaron Rodgers t QB, why can’t he?

      Larry Fitzgerald– Fitz is arguably the best WR in the NFL- but in fantasy he isn’t thanks to another year of his career foreseeably wasted (or at least compromised) by substandard QB play in the desert.

      Wes Welker– There are sexier WR out there, but over the last 5 years no one as consistent. 110 rec, 1,221 yards, 6 TD per season over the last five.

      After “Megatron” is gone, who do you take next? I’m going Marshall.

      Lance Armstrong stripped of his Tour de France titles

      August 24, 2012 /

      Another hero bites the dust.

      With Lance Armstrong, however, everything is much more complicated, because he is so much more than just a great athlete. His devotion to the fight against cancer makes him an iconic figure, and many of his fans will continue to support him. Nike and other brand sponsors are sticking by him.

      Armstrong was known for being a fighter, but he gave up here as he was facing ten former teammates who were prepared to testify against him. He release a statement attacking the USADA, and he may have some points about the “vendetta” against him. But in the end, his unwillingness to face his accusers speaks volumes.

      New mistress allegations for Chad Johnson

      August 24, 2012 /

      Chad Johnson craves attention, but his “look at me” lifestyle is starting to bite him in the behind. When you live your life on social media and reality TV, you really can’t complain when the media devours every aspect of your personal life, good and bad.

      Chad Johnson is learning this the hard way, as he’s seen his marriage and career disintegrate on national television following his arrest, and now more information is coming out.

      Not surprisingly, RadarOnline.com is reporting about other women allegedly in Chad’s life. According to Radar, Chad had a mistress in Atlanta that was basically his sugar baby. You can see a photo of Amber Priddy above, check out this Amber Priddy slideshow and see more of this exotic model courtesy of Black Men Magazine. According to this report, Chad was covering her rent and flying her in to Miami right under the nose of his new wife, Evelyn Lozada.

      We aren’t here to judge, and Chad wasn’t doing anything that most athletes get away with, and you can see that Amber has some serious curves. But when you’re living your personal life in the spotlight, don’t be surprised when everything you’re doing gets exposed.

      On the other hand, you have to feel for the guy. Chad was working hard to revive his career with the Miami Dolphins after sitting on the bench in New England for the past year. All of us could see him battling on “Hard Knocks.” Depending on your perspective, he could be annoying or hilarious, but he comes across as a good guy. But he put himself in a bad situation, apparently made a serious mistake, and now his entire life is getting even more scrutinized.

      UFC cancels UFC 151, conveniently puts all blame on Jon Jones

      August 23, 2012 /

      In case you have been under a rock today, UFC 151 has been cancelled.

      The short story is Dan Henderson injured his knee and couldn’t fight next Saturday, prompting the UFC to offer Jon Jones a replacement opponent of Chael Sonnen. Jones, after speaking with his team, declined to take the fight on such short notice.

      So, the UFC, instead of finding a new main event, or just running with the card they setup sans the main event, decided to just axe the event altogether.

      In the process, they completely threw the light heavyweight champion under the bus.

      Normally, I am on Dana White’s side of things. He is a hot head, no doubt, but he usually tells it like it is.

      However, blaming Jones for the canceling of an event is simply a convenient way to take the blame off of himself and the UFC.

      First off, canceling an entire UFC event is a big deal. It impacts the fighters, the venue, the host city and those that would be working the event.

      Many fighters rely on a small paycheck from fighting on the under card simply to make ends meet. Due to the UFC’s venom spewed at Jones, many of those fighters are now taking their anger and frustration out on the champion as well.

      But, let’s all take a deep breath and take into consideration two things:

      August 23, 2012 /

      This may well be my last post for a while on The Scores Report, so I figured what better way to go out than with some way-too-early playoff predictions? I’ll forecast each of Major League Baseball’s six division winners as well as each league’s two wild card teams. You know, so all my readers can come back and mock my wild inaccuracy in two months time.
