Developing a process to efficiently generate fantasy football cheatsheets on a weekly basis turned out to be more challenging than anticipated, and it pushed back my other projects, but I am happy to report to those that have been asking, I’m back to publishing the Printable Standings on a regular basis. Moving forward, the Printable Standings will be published each Tuesday and Friday. There’s just something eye-catching about all of those NFL colors side-by-side!
I will also be doing something new this year. Alongside the Printable Standings, I will also be publishing an image of the standings in Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format. This image is saved with a 4096 x 3072 pixel resolution (4:3 aspect ratio) – perfect for displaying on your computer’s desktop background/wallpaper. I might be biased, but I think it looks pretty dang cool!

My sister-in-law shared a post she saw on Facebook from the Minnesota State High School League that reprinted a letter from a high school football fan. The letter summarized her and her husband’s experience at a local high school football game earlier this season. The football game happened to be hosted by the small school I attended as a youth, St. Clair, and is the same school both of my kids went to. The letter made me think about football integrity. Like life, there are two distinct paths to choose from. The difference in attitude can be subtle and overlooked, but the effects are significant.
Become legend.

It’s a new era for Football Weblog! We now offer Free NFL Cheatsheets!
Since most of you have already held your fantasy drafts, I’m late for the party with the initial Preseason Cheatsheet, but moving forward you can expect a new, updated cheatsheet each Wednesday.
Actually, two cheatsheets will be published each week: One will rank players for the upcoming week to help you choose starters; the other will rank each player’s value moving forward (i.e., current week through week 16) to help you decide roster adds and drops.
If you’ve been a reader of Football Weblog for a while, you already know that we provide the most accurate fantasy football kicker rankings found anywhere. We’ve shown through regression analysis that a kicker’s accuracy or his ability to kick long-range field goals have little bearing on his propensity to score points. The key to finding the highest scoring fantasy football kickers hinges on identifying kickers that hail from teams that score the most points and win the most games. (See “Using the Science of Statistics to Select a Fantasy Kicker”.)
Applying this concept results in Football Weblog’s 2015 Preseason Kicker Cheatsheet (below). As you can see, several kickers are ranked very differently from the so-called fantasy football “experts”. For example, most other generic “cookie-cutter” cheatsheets rank Sebastian Janikowski, Blair Walsh, and Phil Dawson quite high, while Caleb Sturgis, Randy Bullock, and Cairo Santos are low on the totem pole. Time will tell the accuracy of these numbers, but I’ll put my money on the science of statistics and the latter three kickers over the former all day long.
Our September 2015 calendar is loose!!! Here are the links to the calendar in PDF format, ready for you to print and display in your highrise luxury suite in the heart of downtown Battle Creek, Michigan – or on the shag carpet ceiling of your pimped out ’75 Chevy shaggin’ wagon!
If you’re the commissioner of a fantasy football league, you have my respect. Running a great league is a huge investment in time. Until you’ve been commissioner of a league, you have no idea the amount of work and hassle that’s involved – even with today’s online commissioner services such as those offered by Yahoo!, ESPN, and NFL.com.
Perhaps the biggest frustration of them all is coordinating the player draft. Finding a time that fits everyone’s schedule is next to impossible. There are weddings to work around, vacations, varying work hours, you name it. And with people’s lives becoming more hectic with each passing year, difficulty in coordinating the player draft is only getting worse. Fortunately there are alternatives, and this post outlines one: Football Weblog’s exclusive E-Z Draft Form.

As we ramp up for the 2015 NFL season, I thought it would be a good time to include the follow-up video to the original The NFL: A Bad Lip Reading that went viral. This second video – More NFL: A Bad Lip Reading – is just as whacked. It’s filled with perceptive insight such as “a half and a half ain’t an apple”, and recommendations to “buy a toaster – you’ll probably use it”. Sage wisdom for the ages.
