Tosten is full if snobby opinions, useless knowledge, and hit or miss jokes.
To see him in all his nerdy glory hidden by the actually relevant stuff he writes here, visit http://ffwriterswithhair.com/, where he runs a secret underground fantasy football analysis laboratory with Bleacher Creatures Zach Fein and Gage Arnold.
Oh, and by the way, if anyone remembers the Rotoworld Whore Reports/NFL Newswire Rundowns, first of all let me hug you, but secondly check out the twitanator. I post that type of shiz all the time there. http://twitter.com/ffwwh
Tosten,
Trust me you will enjoy this article.
You would not want to miss this one out.
If you get a chance, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Oh how I look forward to the monthly installments of the TB Show. He's not quite as glamorous as TO...but he does tend to be a little more substantive.
Nice work as always, Bubba. I hope all is well on your end.

It's time to put this theory to rest: Michael Vick will not be a Jacksonville Jaguar.
Please let me know what you think about my strong opinion by providing your excellent comments.
Thanks,

Yes, I've looked through it an my recap article is already in draft. Just a note, some of my picks when you go round by round were cutoff in the images (it only shows 9 picks in a few rounds not 10). I will be posting my article in a day or two with a few quality links to the dudes with hair!

A Story From A True Patriots Fan...check this one out...

I'm not sure that "harsh" is the right word—especially not towards Mel. To wit...
- "Fraud" was used in juxtaposition with "expert," with the implication that both are subjective labels.
- "Hack" was immediately preceded by a refusal to find fault.
- "Con" was blamed on the con-ees instead of the con-er.
- "Clueless" was a mutual state of ignorance ("as clueless as you and I").
- The "hubris" actually belonged to Kiper's fans (who "assume that a guru is really a guru").
- "Flop" was a reference to the prospects, not the prognosticator (i.e. being "positive" about a prospect's future sets said prospect up to be a "flop").
*
I certainly wasn't singing Mel's praises...but the article was (supposed to be) less about him than about "all those wayward souls who actually take him seriously"...and even then I wasn't aiming for "harshness" so much as "gentle derision of the human tendency to believe."
That said, if I missed the mark, it certainly wouldn't have been the first time.

Ha—my reputation for formulaic headlines seems to precede me.
Your guess was close...but I like the Super Bowl and the NCAA Tournament more than I like the Draft. And I felt like taking a few potshots at Mel Kiper. Enjoy.

Welcome back to the neighborhood, homeboy...and viva la free speech, in eye-black and everywhere else.
Hope all is well,
