I hate to talk about the weather again but I can't help it! Never in my life have I seen such a city dedicated to using umbrellas in the snow. In fact, I swear that prior to moving to New York City it was something I'd only seen little old ladies do...but here it's an epidemic. So on today's wet, slushy walk from the subway to work, I busted out my umbrella. Gotta be honest, got to work a little bit drier and warmer. I might be a slight convert. But have no fear, I won't drone on about the rest of my weather experiences and all of the accoutrements I'm finding helpful here. We'll hop on over to today's links: Combine talk is really heating up - Football Outsiders/Washington Post football guru Doug Farrar will be posting his thoughts from the weekend on twitter so if you're in for some combine twitter action, give him a follow . Meanwhile don't forget that free agency is just around the corner. Swing by FantasySharks.com's 2010 Free Agent ...

Kind of a crazy day - for starters, it was the first time since I was maybe 6 years old that I coveted galoshes. I stared at all sorts of fellow subway passengers with lovely, cozy, dry-looking rain boots and thought ahead to the rest of the week that has a cold, wet rain in the forecast for New York City. Living in Colorado for so many years I lost a sense of what it means to experience non-stop, day after day rain. It doesn't do that in heaven Colorado. So now I'm wondering how long I'll last before caving and buying some serious galosh action. Other craziness - go back in time about 2 years and I bet 90% of you would be surprised to hear that LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook were both released within about a day of each other. A reminder of how quickly the mighty can fall. For some thoughts on where Tomlinson might land, see what The Hazean has to say in LaDainian Tomlinson out in San Diego, where to next?

Finally, the week we've all been waiting for is here: the Scouting Combine. Not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight with the excitement but truly, this is mighty good, my friends. Means football season is just a tad bit closer. Now I for one have been reveling in the greatness of the Olympics (that fantasy Olympics game I keep pimping, RosterSlots.com , was just written up in the Wall Street Journal this weekend), but I'm trying not to lose my football focus what with all the football talk that could be going on this week. Really make that Tim Tebow talk. So let's get right to some of the combine talk and then of course dabble in some 2010 talk: Rotoworld's Scouting Combine Preview is a great summary of things to watch for in Indy this week. Evan Silva always does a great job with draft prep and focusing in on guys who have big speed and size. For the past few years I've done a summertime article on offensive lines, so as you can imagine, I like news on t...

There are no links to offer up that compare with the awesomeness of Shaun White's halfpipe performance last night. Yeah that's right, I'm a proud member of the Shaun White fan club, I mean how could you not be?? The dude is tremendous; that's all there is to it. I even dig his hair, that's how far I've bought into the Shaun White lovefest. And of course his performance helped me put up some stellar numbers in RosterSlots.com's fantasy olympics game yesterday, which any of you can jump into at any point during the Olympics. I say see if you can put together better fantasy teams than I can, because frankly, I'm on fire. A little research is all it takes to be ahead of the game with both the Olympics and football, so let's roll on over to today's links: Get your mind wrapped around the free agency landscape with CBSSports.com's T op 32 FAs: Cap-free year needs restricted infusion . Oh Denver, please do hold on to Elvis Dumervil... Footbal...

If you're a regular reader and haven't caught on to the schedule switch going on here on FFLibrarian, just a quick heads up that I'll mostly be posting at night now for awhile as I get adjusted to my new job schedule. Also my posts might slow down a bit in the offseason, but never fear my fantasy football fiends, there's always something to write about! So right now I'm taking a break from the Olympics (and staring at Dick Button's absolutely immense shoes) to get some links up for you...nah, who am I kidding, there's no such thing as a break from the Olympics, not when you're playing fantasy Olympics ...I even watched curling at the gym today, that's how into the Olympics I am. Let's jump right into tonight's link wrap-up: I remember reading Rotoworld's thoughts on small schools in past years - always appreciated since there are gems that come out of smaller programs and we'd all be a little better off knowing their names: Small...

Ahh, it's a long weekend here for us and it was sorely needed - post-Super Bowl I came down with a cold and of course had copious amounts of laundry to be done. Nothing like a long weekend to help on both fronts. Plus I've found myself basically addicted to the Winter Olympics, thanks in large part to my participation in RosterSlots.com's fantasy Olympics games . I recommend scoping the site out if you're looking for a fantasy fix - or say if you need a reason to watch the pairs figure skating for more than just the bizarro costumes. Seriously, is this actually an Olympic event for weirdest outfits? Let's get to a few fantasy football links to start this week off right: Several of my fantasy football buddies across this great land are participating in Razzball's 2010 Mock Draft . Matt Schauf from RapidDraft keeps things interesting by picking MJD with the #1 overall draft. See what else has evolved over the first 4 rounds of the draft so far. Another mock dr...

Tomorrow marks the start of the Winter Olympics with the opening ceremonies in the evening, and I have good news for all you fantasy sports addicts: you can keep up your fantasy fervor by participating in RosterSlots.com's Winter Olympics competition here . Scope out all the rules and such but basically it's a combo of a fantasy game and a slot machine - on a daily basis during the Olympics, you can spin to see how good of a trio of countries you can get for various sporting events. When one of your countries wins a medal, you score some points. So head on over and keep the fantasy fun rolling over the next few weeks! While I could probably carry on here with some links to Winter Olympics research and athlete insights, I'm going to give you all what you're more likely here for - fantasy football links. Follow along with the offseason injuries in The Hazean's Thursday Morning Rehab - lots of info here on guys ranging from Brandon Jacobs to Steve Slaton to Mark S...
