Fantasy football: It's always Brady, Brady, Brady
Commentators love to dole out the worthless and predictable "first half of the season" awards when they have used up their early season stuff, are too lazy to analyze the future or are simply out of decent material. So, without further ado, may we present our All First-Half Fantasy Team:

Fantasy football: Relocated Chambers is intriguing
We love it when real GMs play fantasy GMs and start wheeling and dealing, benching and starting. Off the headlines ...

Fantasy football: To quote one famous coach ...
Our close personal friend Patrick Reusse used to serve you a "Between the Quotes" column with your Tuesday morning bagel and coffee. For one week, we're resurrecting the idea:

Fantasy football: Time to hand out clipboards
Thanks for the cards and flowers everybody. They mean a lot. We here at the Fantasy Reality still are reeling from Marc Bulger's benching, but we have to play on. Marc would want that. Bulger, a longtime Reality darling, will take his broken ribs and wicked bad QB rating to the sideline this week. And as he grabs some real pine, we look at some busts who need to play their way off the fantasy bench from here out. If any of them come to life with a decent game, then you may again consider starting them. Not before. So in honor of our NHL friends, we hand out healthy scratch assignments:

Fantasy football: Can we get a running back mulligan?
On Wednesday in New Jersey, golfer Thomas Brady stepped up to a 179-yard par-3 and holed it. High-fives all around, and beers to come. Playing partner Dennis Gerhart, a 57-year-old "weekend hacker," was probably still shaking his head when he smacked his 5-iron. Didn't matter. His ball landed in almost the same spot, and it ended up in exactly the same spot: the jar. Back-to-back aces, a 17 million to 1 stunt, according to Golf Digest. In honor of those two, we're putting our preseason Top 10 running back rankings back on the tee and taking a mulligan. Of all the early surprises, the slow-starting studs and overachieving middle-tier guys have us baffled the most:

Fantasy football: (Running) Back to the future
Chris Brown spent the summer door-knocking around the league with his résumé in hand, hoping to find a team interested in an unreliable, nondescript running back on the back nine of his career. LenDale White was going to be the guy in Tennessee, and Brown was looking for a chance to prove he is still the guy who popped off for more than 1,000 yards in 2004. Brown, coming off two disappointing seasons, didn't get it. No takers. So he signed a one-year deal back with his old team, and the fantasy football world yawned.

Fantasy football: Rudi, Reggie, Santonio and Jerious
Man, that was one long, dreadful offseason. All kinds of terrible and unpleasant things going on in our neighborhood, and we were thinking that even before the Twins tanked and before we learned things we never wanted to know about the airport's men's room.
