Sleepers : the overused but highly-touted term used in fantasy sports to refer to a player who “no one” is talking about that will greatly outperform their draft position.

or those that haven't been to the Detroit Lions official website lately, they currently have a running poll on who fans think was the biggest offseason addition and why.

While I think it's hard to predict who will end up being the best ...
I just worked nine hours. Training a new girl for the warehouse is tiresome, but at least she's smart and seems to want to learn about the product. Plus, we're going out and I got her the job. It's nice to be wanted. Fishing tackle can be real confusing if your not used to all the terminolgy and different types of rods, reels, lures, line, etc. I see one of the Williams Sisters is trying ...

For three seasons, Darrelle Revis has been a key member of the secondary for the New York Jets. When they play the Jets, each opposing team's best receiver is said to be "trapped on Revis Island." Revis had a breakout 2009 season where he shut down almost every single receiver that he faced, and quickly became a favorite among Jets fans and media. Though Revis is arguably the best ...
Imagine it is the fourth quarter of an important NFL game. Maybe it is a playoff game, or maybe a playoff berth is at stake. There are less than two minutes left. The away team is trailing. Their quarterback steps up to the line. To make this example more interesting, let's make the quarterback Peyton Manning. As we have seen him do countless times, Manning surveys the defense and sees something he doesn't like, ...
Pat Tillman, a safety for Arizona State University, was selected with the 226th pick in the 1998 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Normally, a player drafted 226th overall is just trying to compete for a roster spot, much less a multi-million dollar contract. Tillman defied the odds and became a star in the NFL, accumulating 344 tackles over the first four years of his career. Things were looking ever-so bright for ...
