The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don The 49ers continue to find new ways to lose, with Sunday being the most frustrating yet. All Nate Clements had to do was lay on the ground after his interception (instead he tried to return it and got stripped from behind), and itâs game over. What was he thinking? Even if…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Jimmy Clausen was pretty bad during his NFL debut, but Carson Palmer might have been even worse. He leads the league in passes that should have been intercepted but werenât. Heâs gotten just 5.8 YPA despite a strong WR corps and facing two defenses that have not played well this season…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don With what appears to be the best defense in football, imagine how tough this Steelers team is going to be when Ben Roethlisberger returns. They should be considered legitimate Super Bowl contendersâ¦I would say Pittsburgh is in big trouble with Charlie Batch at QB this week, but Dennis Dixon managed just…

By Dalton Del Don RISERS Jahvid Best, RB, DET – Best totaled 232 yards and scored three touchdowns last week, giving him five scores already. It remains to be seen if he can stay healthy over a full NFL season, but being so involved as a receiver, Best can be plenty productive even with 15-20…

Bet on It
By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 9-6-1, winning my best bet by a mere half point. Others seem to disagree, but I always feel Week 1 is easily the best time to bet all season. Put differently, I’m less confident this week. Onto my picks: Ravens -1.5 at BENGALS Dolphins +5.5 at VIKINGS…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don This is not the same Minnesota team as last year’s version. It’s possible with more practice time Brett Favre becomes more comfortable with his receiving corps that now lacks Sidney Rice, but the Vikings basically admitted they were inferior to the Saints with Thursday’s “keep away” game plan. Although after what…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Getting one of the first two picks in a draft is simply unfair. Another reason why auctions are superior â not only does everyone have the opportunity of getting Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson, but the penalty (spending around 35% of your budget) of buying one is far greater than having…

Training Camp Notes
By Dalton Del Don Montario Hardesty left Thursday’s game with a knee injury – He was later spotted with a left knee brace and on crutches. While I guess it’s good news the latest injury is not to the same knee that’s been bothering him this preseason, in reality, it just proves how injury-prone the…

NFL Barometer
By Dalton Del Don RISERS Percy Harvin, WR, MIN – Harvin, who led all wide receivers in broken tackles last season despite being a rookie and recording a modest 60 receptions, is a special talent with the skills to develop into one of the best wideouts in football. He should only get better entering his…
