Great Debate Winner #9
Contests - Debate
Written by Paul Greco   
Monday, 09 March 2009 13:47
Alright, the first few are down and now we have THE GREAT DEBATER #9...Welcome Andrew Deehr The idea of becoming a fantasy sports writer is something I've thought about in the past. With the experiences I've had from high school and beyond I'd make a great candidate for this type of position. I should be selected for the great fantasy debate for several reasons.

First, I've been playing fantasy sports since I was a freshman in high school. Going into this fantasy baseball season it will make my 15th year playing fantasy sports. I play baseball, football, and have done basketball and hockey in the past. I've also tried my hand at golf as well. But my main focus has been baseball followed by football. 

Secondly in high school I was on the school newspaper my junior and senior year. Junior year I was a sports beat writer and my senior year I was the editor of the sports section. I learned how to edit and write for print. I also won an award at the Northeastern Wisconsin Scholastic Press Association for editorial column I wrote throughout my senior year. 

Finally for three of my high school years I was on the radio station doing a local sports talk show called Sports Beat. It was a call in show for local listeners to voice their opinions on local and national sports issues. I was the co-host my junior year and was the main host my senior year. I was also accepted into Brown in Minneapolis for their sports play by play broadcasting courses. 

These may have been things that happened many years ago in my past, but they are experiences that I've cherished and have given me knowledge that I've carried with me. Please feel free to contact me regarding this great opportunity.

Andrew makes a strong case, what do you think?

I have had the pleasure (or displeasure) of competing against Andrew for the past several years now and can verify that he's very, very knowledgeable and articulate.

I am the creator and owner of FantasyFootballNerd.com, a unique website devoted to applying the wisdom of the crowd to fantasy football projections. It's safe to say that I have a pretty solid understanding of the game, and Andrew has always been able to beat me to the punch with the latest news and insight. Debating him has been enjoyable but ultimately a fruitless endeavor over the past several years.

Even in this economy, I'd be willing to put money on Andrew in any contest he enters.

This guys past is fairly similar to mine so I find it exciting. I didn't win any Northeastern Wisconsin Scholastic Press Association awards, however, as Editorial Board President of my schools newspaper I won All-KEMPA (Kettle Moraine Press Association or something like that). Went to Illinois High School Association State Finals in Sports Writing but didn't win because the story was about field hockey, which is one sport that I know nothing about (very unlike curling!).

Rumor Central - Ted Lilly Edition

Rumor Central | Steve Parsons | Thursday, 2 September 2010

With the exception of some non-news on Ted Lilly, the ol' Central mainly has to talk about call-ups and playing time. The dust has more or less settled on playoff rosters with the possible exception of some injury replacements. Lilly, who had been passed through waivers, claimed by the Yankees and recalled is not headed to the Yankees playoff roster despite a highly theoretical idea being floated that somehow the Yankee's claim will "hold" the Yankees' right to include Ted on their playoff roster if somehow they acquire him down the line...oh, and they also get a pony. Unfortunately for the Yankees, the rule is very clear that they made the claim, the waivers were withdrawn and for Lilly to leave the Dodgers he would have to be made the subject of an entirely new waiver process. Plus, we understand the pony has been subpoenaed in the McCourt divorce trial. Lilly is not to be found in the Yankees' organization now, so no playoff roster for ...

ADP information is based on current data from ESPN live drafts through September 1st, 2010. Preseason is winding down and owners were able to see how players handled position battles and live game situations. The top five players with the most movement over the last week include the ...

FP911 Represented In Buffalo Wild Wings Expert League

Fantasy Football Blog | Administrator | Tuesday, 31 August 2010

Paul Greco represented FantasyPros911.com in the Buffalo Wild Wings Fantasy Football Invitational where 12 of the biggest Fantasy Football Experts will compete for a chance to take on Football Hall of Famers in a flag football game in February. From the looks of things Greco's only weak spot really is his WR corp.  A great backfield, a potential 90-catch TE and a QB that has 4,000 yard potential sets him up for potential success.  But, what do you guys think? Where does he need the most ...

Last Minute NFL Sleepers

Fantasy Football Blog | Jim Day | Tuesday, 31 August 2010

As you get down to your last week of full drafting we here at FantasyPros911 want to give you as many options as possible when going into a draft. With that in mind here are some players that you should be considering as Sleepers. Some of these are players that are known but will greatly out-produce their current ADP, and some not so well known for much deeper leagues so that they can be stashed on your bench just in case they hit it big.  The one thing we promise you is that we will not name any studs as sleepers ...
