One of the great things about our friends and family knowing we're such big football fans means we've got a wide array of NFL and college team gear for our son. And I mean wide. We can have him rocking Northwestern, University of Tennessee, University of Colorado, University of Michigan, Broncos, Patriots, Colts, and/or Titans gear. So many solid options, it's a good thing he's skilled at going through more than one outfit a day. College Gameday will be at the Northwestern vs Illinois matchup this week since it's taking place at Wrigley Field (first time Gameday has been at - and I use "at" quite loosely in this case - Northwestern since the mid-90s I believe) and the Broncos play on Monday night. Fun weekend of football for me.

- FantasyPros911.com has your Week 11 Sleepers covered - I'm digging the Brandon Gibson call, particularly for those in PPR leagues. Check out that receptions:targets ratio there. Sweet stuff.
- FantasyPros.com is continuing with their look at expert accuracy with weekly rankings and it looks like my buddy Ryan at LestersLegends.com is on top for Week 10 and also in the top 5 for the season so far. Awesome work, Ryan.

The Grandpa he never got to meet would want him to be a Wolverine...I'm just saying ;-)
Go Blue. Enjoy the first Turkey Day with your new bundle of joy.
David - so true and great memory. Though my grandpa was also a Northwestern alum so I think he would've been happy to see Nick in a NU/Mich combo outfit. I think we can make that happen! Happy Turkey Day to you, too.
Thanks Sara.
My son rocked a Brady jersey and Vikes sweats when they squared off. He was wise to wear the Patriots on top.
Non-sequitor - I have an idea for you FFLB - What if, by invite-only, you hosted your own "start 'em or sit 'em" rankings. It's a true test of commentators and prognosticators and bloggerators to determine who is best, and a controlled way for us regular blokes to see who is best - The ranking guy is nice, but that's not a clean test by any means.
Here is the set up:
- You invite let's say 20 to 30 fantasy football writers to play (maybe you'll have 15-20 active participants in total). The idea is that they put their prognostication skills to the test in an even-steven game.
- Each week, you (FFLB) "put up" a number of tweener players (ie. ones that aren't obvious to start or sit), of your choosing. Let's say 15-20 in total each week, with a mix of QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs (not defenses or kickers or IDP).
- Each week, the contestants must assign each of FFLB's chosen player into one of 3 categories: Start, Sit, or "no call", where they have to assign 5 sits and 5 starts, and the rest they put into the "no call" bucket where they're predictions is not as strong.
- In addition, the contestants must each select one "super start" (and maybe a "super sit").
- Each week you evaluate their picks based on a standard scoring system, published for everyone to see, and at the end of the season the winner gets bragging rights.
Todd, I would read that every week. twice. What an awesome idea.
