Russell's Bio

I'm a college student and i've been a Red Wings, and Tigers fan my whole life. I also follow that heartbreak of a football team called the Lions.

I'm also a big fantasy football fan, so if you need an extra guy in your league or want to talk fantasy, feel free to stop by and let me know. Don't forget to stop by the fantasy football pages and check out some of my stuff.

Hey Russ,

Looking to put together a group article. Here's the question:

There are always debates about who to take over whom in a fantasy football draft. I've got a couple here, so what's your take? Or add your own.

--Hines Ward vs. Dwayne Bowe
--Plaxico Burress vs. Chad Johnson
--Derek Anderson vs. Donovan McNabb vs. Carson Palmer
--Ronnie Brown vs. Edgerrin James vs. Michael Turner
--Tony Gonzalez vs. Jason Witten

You can email me at elmhurstpubroundtable@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Collin

I tend to agree.. I guess I felt compelled to play Devil's Advocate for you. I think you're looking at it the right way, so it's probably a good idea. Cheers.

Hi Russell, I'm not working in firefox today so here's some editor's feedback.

Great article! I just made some tweaks to style. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the awesome work!

Hey man, if you want to keep me happy just keep writing good articles.

I love when I see something on here as well-informed and well-written as what I've read of yours.

No problem. I actually just found out a couple days ago, so I figured most other people didn't know either.
