Fantasy Football Tonight 8/4
THAT 'BALL' IS GONE
Tonight was the final Fantasy Baseball Tonight Podcast for me for this season. As much as I hate bailing out on the baseball season during the stretch run like this, my commitment to Fantasy Football Search and my title of Senior Writer dictates that I dive fully into football at this point in time. For those of you who have been relying on my Hot 8 waiver pickups all season long have no fear. The Hot 8 baseball blog will continue on until at least the beginning of September when it too will switch over to football.
To all of the great listeners of the Tuesday and Thursday editions of Fantasy Baseball Tonight I want to send out a great big THANK YOU for making our little show so popular all season long. I hope that you all follow me and Ryan Hallam over to Fantasy Football Tonight which we will begin on Tuesday August 11th to coincide with Ryan's Birthday. If you still have baseball questions, bring them over! You see, our show is all about helping out the fantasy sports player and having some fun in doing so. You guys can call or email us at anytime and ask whatever questions you would like. Heck, we let the Cookie Monster go on for what seemed like an hour and a half. For those of you who download our show from the Blogtalkradio site or from iTunes, please do a search for Fantasy Football Tonight and start downloading and listening to that show beginning next Tuesday. Ryan and I have a ton of new segments and much more fun stories to share every single week so please check out our new home next Tuesday.
PERCY HARVIN CONTRACT DISAPPROVED
The NFL has disapproved the contract for Minnesota Vikings rookie WR Percy Harvin that he just signed on Sunday. There hasn't been a specific reason given for the disapproval yet but it is usually something minor in terms of language within the contract. Sometimes, this is due to the way the money will be paid out to the player in a way that may violate the collective bargaining agreement and therefore the contract is disapproved. I would think that Harvin's agent Joel Segal will be sitting down with the Vikings contract guru Rob Brzezinski tomorrow and working out the details. In the meantime, Harvin is not allowed to practice with the team again until he indeed has a valid contract and thereby insurance to do so.
THE NEXT BIG THING IN INDY?
I strongly believe that WR Pierre Garcon is going to be a good football player. He is impressing everybody at Colts camp with his strong hands and great body control as he makes catch after catch while running all the routes well. Garcon has good size and speed to get himself open and into a throwable lane where Peyton Manning could deliver the ball to. I'm beginning to think that Garcon will be the starter opposite Reggie Wayne when the season opens with Anthony Gonzalez moving to the slot which is a perfect fit for him. Garcon's coaches and teammates have been speaking really high of the young WR ever since camp opened. Coaches love his skills and work ethic while fellow players describe him as a "good natured dude" and somebody they enjoy having in the locker room. I think the kid is going to take off this year and become a very good receiver.
