Garret Mathany An award winning member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, I have won over 30K playing Fantasy Football in several different formats. My passion for the hobby kicked into overdrive, after the team formerly known as the Los Angeles Rams, were moved to St. Louis by their hooker owner. She has since passed away. Fantasy football provided a way to root for a team that would never fall victim to the whims of greedy, carpet bagging NFL owners again. With fantasy football and DirecTV’s NFL Ticket package, who needs a local team?
Being a College Football junkie, I wrote several articles and covered the 2007 NFL Draft for Draft.com, but I am most proud of the work that I have put into FantasyFreakinFootball.com. My aggressive projections and player insights will help you “Make Your Own Luck,” or at the very least, challenge your existing opinions. I am proud to work with such fantasy football juggernauts as Jules “Red Ryder” McLean and James “Body Count” Jewell.
Jules McLean
Jules “Red Ryder” McLean is co-owner of FantasyFreakinFootball.com and has over $92,000 in career fantasy earnings. Jules is very competitive in the high stakes football world, being the first person to ever win 4 NFFC Main Event league titles and she brought home the trophy in the 2010 WCOFF Invitational (beating Footballguys.com David Dodds in the finals). In 2006 she was the NFFC (National Fantasy Football Championship) Regular Season points leader. Jules has appeared on KABC TV, ESPN Radio & Sirius NFL Network. In 2011 she was featured in ProForecaster magazine and participated in their PPR draft alongside Maurice Jones-Drew. Besides her obsession with fantasy football, Jules is an avid New York J-E-T-S fan and even bigger Tennessee Vols fan...GO BIG ORANGE!! Jules currently resides in Los Angeles, CA and works for the film director Quentin Tarantino.
Rankings will be up Friday Night, sorry, these Thursday Night games are rough on us as players. Most waivers run on Wednesday now, so our focus is on those and setting line-ups. We could easily throw cookie cutter rankings up before the TNF games, but that is not what we do here. We like to analyze the information that is out there and present our best opinions.
Podcast, hoping for one this week, but the schedule makers are not being kind to Garret and I! The past few weeks have been 6-7 day work weeks at our "day" jobs, plus I (Jules) work days and Garret works nights.
Jules blog is up and so is last week's MILK CARTON AWARD winner...so many choices last week!!!
Hopefully we helped you lay a solid foundation through the draft kit and earlier podcasts, ie. Larry Fitzgerald was Garret's Bust Of The Year...
Have a great Week 3 if we don't catch you before then.
Also, be sure to LIKE us on FACEBOOK, we use that as a message board of sorts!
With Volume 5 you get some updated projections, articles and a last look into Godzilla's war room! It's a wrap folks...thank you all!!!
