Well I think as soon as the offseason got here I just completely collapsed and stopped posting as frequently here - my apologies! As I'm sure I've made abundantly clear, I've got this adorable and increasingly fascinating, nearly 4 month old little dude on my hands and as much as I wanted to keep up my blogging routines, I think it's time I admit that I'll probably only be posting once or twice a week for a little while here. The good news though? I finished my calculations for the annual FFLibrarian/FSTA FF Expert Rankings Accuracy Contest and I'm so psyched to share yet another year of results. There were 50 sites involved this year and the winner will be revealed at the FSTA conference next week (sadly, I won't be there) and the results will go up on the NY Times' Fifth Down shortly thereafter. I'll be sure to link over to the results from here of course. I'll have info on both the best overall performers as well as the top sites at each po

It's been awhile since I posted last, my fantasy football friends - thanks for sticking around. Those of you who are long-time readers know that I lived in Boulder, Colorado, for 6 years until moving to NYC about a year and a half ago. Boulder is about as close to a second home as I've ever had and we have incredibly good friends there - so when my husband had a conference in Denver last week, I jumped on the chance to bring our son out and join my husband at the end of the conference for a few days in Boulder. This involved flying alone with our 3 month old, which went stunningly well. Gotta love the red carpet treatment I got at check in and security courtesy of the little man's presence. Anyway, I'm back on track here with info about the divisional round. Kudos to BethS4 in the FFLibrarian Playoff Challenge group who has the most points after the wildcard weekend - nicely done, way to be tops out of the 165 group members. The Ravens D gave both BethS4 and me a hug

Welcome to the NFL playoffs and all of the fantasy fun that comes with it! If you're still hanging around the blog here then I know you, too, are having trouble breaking off a season-long addiction to fantasy football. Or you can't get enough of my far-fetched analogies of living with an infant and the world of fantasy football (what's tougher: saying goodbye to your tiny tot at daycare for the first few times OR saying goodbye to a championship FF team?). Either way, glad to have you around still. Head on over to the FFLibrarian Playoff Challenge and join in on the fun if you don't want the season to end. I've got a bunch of links for both the playoffs and the 2011 season, so read on...
