Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 20

August 23, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Even though week 20 technically isn’t on the books as of writing this, it is almost a mathematical impossibility that PGH Best 1 has a comeback to take us down. That would require Brandon Crawford having about 9 home runs and 23 RBI.  Basically, we’re safe. We almost need to send Yoenis Cespedes a nice […]

Predicting NCAA Football’s Top 4

August 19, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Oh dear football, it is so good to see you again in all of your glorious forms: Canadian, American high school, pro, and especially, NCAA football. On Thursday, September 3rd and Saturday September 5th, fans will be in stadiums around the country dancing and cheering on their squads to a win or at least a valiant effort.

NFL Predicting the AFC North

August 18, 2015 by Jason Fisher 2 Comments

Top photo courtesy of (Charles LeClaire-USA Today) In the NFL, the more things change, the more they stay the same, especially in this bone bruising division where it usually comes down to the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers slugging it out. I mean in the last 20 years how many dudes have the Cleveland Browns had under center? Since […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 19

August 17, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Can you say division win?  Well now you can!  Because it just happened. This week‘s win over MadBumss created separation putting them 2 games behind us. Unfortunately, Basher, the division leader, and Murphy10, tied with us in second place, also won. So nothing changed in the standings there. Team OTBR is still behind Murphy10 in […]

MLB Chicago Cubs are ROARING

August 15, 2015 by Jason Fisher 1 Comment

While I have marveled at additions by the, MLB’s, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets, I must credit the Chicago Cubs organization for the “less is more” approach, by their top executive, Theo Epstein. In other words they didn’t give up future talent to grab a veteran and take on salary. The Cubs have stuck with the calm […]

NFL OH NO Series – Geno Smith

August 12, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

feature image courtesy – USATSI What just happened in New York?!?  Starting QB Geno Smith is out 6-10 weeks.  I read that and think he got injured on some play in training camp or in the weight room or something football related.  But, no.  The Jets quarterback was sucker punched in his own locker room by […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 18

August 9, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Steamrolled. Can’t do too much when you go up against the weekly point leader.  And Papa appears to be on the a path to capture that distinction.  To put it this way, we would have beaten 6 other teams this week, but there is a reason Papa is leading the West division. We’re currently in […]

NFL Rename the Washington Redskins

August 8, 2015 by Jason Fisher 1 Comment

Top image is courtesy of (Carolyn Kaster AP/ChangeTheMascot.org) I’m disgusted with having to write Redskins, but in order to educate I need the subject to be clear. I personally support human rights causes and organizations such as ChangeTheMascot.org and the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media. Those are proudly the views of Jason Anthony Fisher and not […]

MLB Pennant Race Report

August 8, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Opening Image is courtesy of (pic.twitter.com/IQvsLuHWfY) #Mets First, I admit I was WRONG on the American League of the MLB, to count the playoff teams before they hatch in October. The Toronto Blue Jays have come into Yankee stadium and they are smacking the cover off the ball. The Toronto Blue Jays have been scorching since the trade […]

MLB Trade Deadline Winners & Losers

August 4, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt 3 Comments

(feature image via: Peter Llewellyn/USA TODAY Sports) The non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone and the balance of power has certainly shifted, especially in the American League. We will see more moves before the end of August, but it is highly unlikely that any will be as big as what we saw last week. Some […]

Grantland to Bill Simmons: Good Riddance

August 3, 2015 by Mike Jacobs 1 Comment

Grantland Logo

  Grantland released an article today titled Patriot Games: Deflategate and the Golden Boy That Never Was written by Charles Pierce that seems to give ex-Grantland editor-in-chief, Bill Simmons, the New York wave. Just to set the stage for anyone who isn’t familiar with Bill Simmons: Bill Simmons is from Massachusetts, and doesn’t hide his passion for […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 17

August 3, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Don’t call it a comeback!  OK, we really need to call a spade a spade and address the amazing Sunday comeback for Team OTBR. Looking at the score and remaining games left on Sunday morning, we would have thought we were cooked. We looked like we had close to no hope of winning Week 17, […]

Frisbee Trick Shot Series

August 3, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Top Image is courtesy of (www.Vivas.us) If you are as enthralled with trick shots as I am, you gotta watch this little video with Frisbee trick shots set in Southern Utah’s amazing back country. It is way Sick! The video features Brodie Smith, who I searched for on the internet and it turns out according to […]

Ohio State Sports Prank

August 2, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Top Image is courtesy of (Getty Images/Sarah Glenn) Every now and then through all of the hard work and effort athletes and their teammates and coaching staff put in, there needs to be a little relief to keep things loose. After all, when teams are too tight they choke so a splash of fun needs […]

Rousey Socks Correia – OH NO Series

August 2, 2015 by Jason Fisher 2 Comments

Top Image is a screenshot courtesy of the blog site (WWW.Secretsofthefed.com). Bethe Correia is no longer undefeated (9-1 record) and now a special member of the OTBR OH NO Series club. Remember a couple months back when she was not only boasting how she was going to easily win and beat up Ronda, but also made an insensitive joke about […]
