ESPN’s John Clayton is yet another guru picking the Panthers to return to the playoffs in 2008. This is sure to annoy a lot of Panthers fans given the last time the Panthers were predicted to make playoff noise. In 2006 the Panthers flopped to 8-8 after being picked by most everyone to win the Super Bowl. No one wants the ‘honor’ of being picked in the preseason to win ...

THE FANTASY BASEBALL GENERALS
I have been dreading this day. So far the Generals have been getting crushed. Here are the gory details.
Kudos to The True Guru for the pic. The last two weeks have been an absolute disaster in the league. As a refresher it is a weekly head-to-head 5×5 roto style. This is kind of a wacky [...]

My boy Ray who I have mentioned on here before just hit me up and told me he was at the private screening of the new Mike Meyers film Love Guru last night.

Double-T Nation
I'm not a recruiting guru, but I do like compiling information. Thus, the DTN recruiting board is a little different than others. You have the two recruiting service profiles, so if you're a member of either, feel free to click on for news. The one thing that I do differently, is that if you click on a player's name, it is a Google News link. What I like to do is bookmark this page and during ...
