Derek's Bio

I live in Chicago, but am originally from Wisconsin. I am a disgruntled Green Bay Packer fan that wants Ted Thompson gone for not spending any money to better the team. My favorite sports are Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Hockey and soccer are at the bottom of my list. I would rather watch the Spelling Bee than either of those sports. My favorite athletes of all time are Brett Favre and Michael Jordan. While I like debating many sports, NFL Football is by far my favorite topic to discuss. In addition to this blog I am also the Senior NFL Writer for the Fantasy Football Maniaxs, which recently merged with FantasyPros911. The web address is http://www.fantasypros911.com/. I hope you enjoy the blog and check out the website for any fantasy football needs.

As Favregeddon approaches, it's time to look back at the Packers-Vikings Rivalry and the moments that have made it a special one... Hope you like it!

What did you think of the Packers - Bears game? I went back and studied the film to come up with some surprising observations, including the key play in the game that everyone has overlooked.

I'd argue you're one of the 5 most intelligent people on this website, so your POTD means a lot to me.

Derek,

How do you feel about Clay Matthews?

Ah, I get it.

The double profiles got me for a sec—now I see you write under one, comment under the other. Well, I'll fan-add 'em both since you deserve it for the clear reason/logic demonstrated by that Brady/Manning article as well as the Trading Places pic.

Amazing all around.
