About Dennis »

I am a computer geek, always have been, always will be. But, I am also a Green Bay Packers fan ever since my dad introduced me to the team (via B&W television) in 1965.

As the years have passed I have learned to enjoy almost every sport that I have come across. In high school I was a cross country medal runner and 105-pound class wrestler. I had an affinity for tennis and golf, but they weren't yet offered as letter sports. After high school I became "softball guy" playing upwards of 5 nights a week.

Now, I mostly watch sports... especially any sports having to do with the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin Badgers football and basketball, Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Brewers, UW-Green Bay Phoenix basketball, Green Bay Gamblers hockey, Marquette basketball, and Wisconsin high school sports, to name a few.

It was fantasy sports where I garnered the most about NFL teams and players. In the '80's we sat at tables strewn with magazines and newspapers and drafted. Then came the computer and fantasy offerings on Yahoo! I started in 1992, and I have honed my skills and techniques these many years. Fantasy football, fantasy baseball, fantasy hockey, fantasy golf, and fantasy NASCAR. But it was fantasy football that piqued my interest. So much so that I currently am the commissioner of 40 Yahoo! fantasy football teams, and an owner of a dozen more on various other websites. Some call it OCD, I just call myself organized.

Because I work 2nd shift, I am able to read sports articles in the morning and then run all of my teams in the evening. I might not know a franchise's history 25 years ago, but I could definitely tell you about the team today. Ask me questions and I will try to pass on this knowledge through my articles.

    New Article: Chicago Bears Prediction Revisited

    I don’t know where to begin. I don’t know how to begin. And, I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel. Am I supposed to be amused, angry, satisfied, or what? After all, I’m a Packer fan, and I do so enjoy abusing Bear fans...
