Fantasy Football Faceoffs

Editor — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:56:54 +0000

As seen on http://www.ecouchcoach.com -

With Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals just hours away, it seems like the perfect time to write a fantasy football article with a hockey title.

Oh, who am I fooling? Hockey sucks (unless it’s live, then it’s awesome). Hockey is for guys named Sergei and dentists. But, since hockey is better than Nicholas Cage, I’ll let the hockeyites think this is hockey-themed.
Organized Team Activities are heating up, and the fight for carries, pass attempts, receptions—and fantasy points—is on. What battles are the most intriguing? Glad you asked, Couch Cushions. Oh, and despite Mighty Ducks being an awesome movie, no “Oreo Line.”

Scoring line
Mark Sanchez vs. Kellen Clemens

The marquee faceoff of the summer. This one’s like Gretsky facing off against Messier, only if Messier was Messier and Lemieux put together.

Okay, so maybe not quite, but it’s an intriguing battle.

Let’s not fool ourselves: Kellen Clemens is probably bad at sports, and only a little better at throwing footballs. There’s a small sample size issue here—Clemens has only been in the league three years and started a run of games last in 2007—but Clemens has never been surrounded with a ton of hype. The man is 26 and was just referred to in a wire article as “career backup Kellen Clemens.” Not good for a young man. Plus, Clemens threw ten interceptions, was sacked 27 times, and threw only five touchdowns in the eight games he started in 2007. For a second-round quarterback, that might be the only chance he gets.

Mark Sanchez has had similar success in the NFL as Kellen Clemens, which is to say, “none.” Sanchez never really set the world on fire at USC, and hasn’t taken a professional snap not in Jets gym shorts. But—and this is why I think Sanchez will start the season for the Jets—he’s getting paid $28 million dollars guaranteed for the next five years, with $50 million attainable. Just like no one puts Baby in a corner, no one pays Sanchez $28 million to model headsets.

John Madden once said “Brett Favre is Brett Favre.” Is either Sanchez or Clemens worthy of being called “Brett Favre,” just like…um…Brett Favre? No, but there can only be 30 starting quarterbacks in this league, and whoever starts for the Jets has a chance to be ranked in the high 20s for quarterbacks. Jerricho Cotchery and Chansi Stuckey are decent receivers, and there will be plenty of running in new coach Rex Ryan’s game plan.

The pick and prediction: Mark Sanchez, 13 GS, 2,800 yards passing, 16 TD, #23 best fantasy quarterback

Checking line
Joseph Addai vs. Donald Brown

Enough of these quarterback pretty boys. This is hockey Sparta! fantasy football. It’s all about those point-producing “checkers,” running backs.

Addai flew onto the fantasy football scene in his 2006 rookie year, posting a thousand-yard season. Fantasy owners loved his high reception totals (40) and eight touchdowns wasn’t bad for Dominic Rhodes’ platoon mate. Plus, the Colts won the Super Bowl that year, which Drew Brees’ fantasy owners will tell you makes the impact of a piss in the ocean.

2007 was Addai’s banner year, with Kenton “Never trust a man with two first names (to be the second leading rusher)” Keith stealing only 121 mop-time carries. Again, a thou for Addai and an almost doubled touchdown count.

Enter 2008. Injuries. A so-badd-I’m-spelling-it-with-two-ds-BADD running offensive line in the Circle City. Addai gets labeled as a guy who can’t hit the hole fast, and can’t break a tackle in the backfield. Dominic Rhodes steals half of Addai’s carries, Addai’s yardage gets cut in half and Go-Go-Joe runs for only five touchdowns.

And so Bill Polian, that guy who is better than you at drafting, picks up Donald Brown out of Connecticut. Donald Brown is moderately fast (ran 4.51 in the 40). Donald Brown is a moderately good blocker. Donald Brown will probably be a little better than Addai in goalline situations.

Moderately.

Which, in fantasy, means “stay away.”

Joseph Addai has been “da man” for only one season in his post-high school life: 2007. The year after that was his worst as a professional. Addai was never top dog in Baton Rouge, and while a good football player, is probably not a 300-carry back. Donald Brown led the nation in rushing last year, but isn’t flashy in any certain part of the game. So it’s not like the Colts are going to use Addai and Brown in certain situations to maximize their output. This will be a strict job-share.

The pick and prediction: Do you feel lucky? Well, do you, punk? Addai has been held out of practice after a summer knee scope. Brown’s getting the practice reps. Make Addai your 19th overall running back (comparison is Derrick Ward, Marshawn Lynch, Ryan Grant, Kevin Smith) and Donald Brown your 25th overall (Felix Jones, Jamal Lewis, Willie Parker).

Half Time Stunts at Football Games

Editor — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:56:28 +0000

Entertainment of some kind between halves at a football match to keep the public’s attention and interest is desirable. If your school does not have a band or pep squad to drill between halves, below are listed some suggested entertainment that you could offer. Remember that the half time shows are produced to entertain fans of both teams so be sure there is no prejudice shown to either team.

Coronation Parade: The crowning of the Queen for your homecoming.

Torchlight Parade: If the game is held at night the stadium lights may be turned off and a group of students could perform a drill with torchlights.

Speakers: Arrange to have a prominent person or an alumnus attend the game and make a short speech during the halftime.

Pet Show: Many of your local fans or students have Pets they would like to show off.

Flash Card Stunts

Midget Football Game. Give the juniors a chance to show off their brawn and muscle.

General Exhibitions. Tumbling and trampoline exhibitions are always interesting. Also, depending on the talent available: Exhibitions on

Baton Twirling Military Drills

Pom Pom Routines Calisthenics by your

Flag Waving Gym Class

Serape Routine Dance Routines

(Mexican Shawls) Comedy Shows. A clown or two to ease the tension will help the program.

Dance Routines

The Baton Rouge (La.) High School Booster Squad has a group of dancing girls called “The Highsteppers.” They have put on very entertaining programs at the basketball games as well as at football. They made quite a name for themselves in the state.

Last year they auditioned for half time activities at the annual Sugar Bowl Game at New Orleans. At our basketball games they have performed as a precision rifle team where they show their skill in doing rifle drilling routines. They also presented a “fluorescent light show” where the lights are turned off, with the exception of fluorescent lights, which makes their costumes shine in the dark while doing their dances. Their dances all have a theme such as “Cinderella,” “A Trip to Chicago,” etc.

Copy The Circus For Half Time Stunt

Remember the stunt they pull at the circus?

In comes a sedan with whitewash on all of the windows with the exception of a peep hole for the driver.

The horn sounds and an attendant opens the door, out pops a clown the door is closed, the attendant walks away, the horn sounds again, and out pops another clown . . . This is repeated until 15 to 20 clowns come out followed by a mule. It’s a real laugh provoker.

Do the same thing at your high school or college. If you don’t make up as clowns, you can try and put one-third of your band in the car. Bring them onto the field a new way. The laugh gets louder when at last the tuba player who has to put his instrument together before he emerges and the bass drum player comes out pounding his drum.

How do you do it ? It’s simple if you remove everything inside the rather old car front and back seat. Bunch all the players up in tight knots or lay them out flat.

The last ones out will be back in the luggage compartment. The last one out should, of course, be the band director.

These are just some suggestions to enliven you half-time at the football.

Have fun!
