You may be my only fan, Harold.
One of my personal favorites is an article from July 2013... was thinking of updating it for 2015 using the last 3 years of statistics to prove that a Good Passing Game Does NOT Open Up the Running Game. I already have the draft written. Was thinking of simplifying it too and adding another angle.

It started back when we were on the CBS message board. I was invited to play in a FF league where you had to write an article each week and got points for responses. Not sure how the creator of the league was able to pull that off seeing that we needed admin permissions from Fantrax, but it happened and that got my foot in the door. That's the very short version.

Not really. From what I can tell, Fantrax doesn't seem to feature articles. You have to search for them.
The longer version... It was a challenge to write something every week. Something interesting that is. After the 2010 season, I pretty much forgot about my permissions. A couple of years later (2013) the MBBRL guys (that you all know and love) inspired me with a topic that we were discussing. For grins, I decided to see if my Fantrax admin permissions were still valid, and they were.
The article was posted by one of the editors. He also contacted me about making more frequent submissions, so I needed to send him personal information and a picture. But since I'm doing this "gratis" and it is a challenge to be spontaneously creative, I do what I can when I can. Gratefully, the editors seem to be ok with this arrangement.

Joe, I am sure, many of us in the MBBRL community would not mind if you occasionally took some of our posts...
Just if you need more articles at a faster rate...

Really appreciate the kind words guys. And that's not a bad idea either.
Trying to keep a level head about this and seriously I think you guys are the only ones reading them.

There IS nobody else! Fuck the rest. We are the only group that matters. You think anyone else is as competitive or knows as much as we do? Shiiiiit.

Ok guys, I was going through some old posts, and about this "tanking", please disregard my rant on the subject. I was having a really bad day when I posted that, and my overreaction reflected my mood.
I say this because I really have no experience in exactly what it is, so I'll keep my mouth shut until I come across it.
Pretty sure I won't like it, tho.

You had a rant on it? I'm guessing it's been disregarded, I sure can't even remember it.
I know I've been in some discussions about the right/wrong of it. .from way back on the board which shall not be named. .but have yet to ever really see it in person. .that I can truly say, yeah he tanked on purpose.
