Here's hoping you all had a nice 4th of July. We spent a good chunk of time at the pool where a friend pointed out she had never seen our son laugh like he does in the water. Sounds like we've got a little dolphin on our hands.
I encountered a small hitch in my accuracy analysis so let's just say that I'll have something up in the next few weeks, though I hope it will be long before then. I should probably stop making promises about its delivery date and jump right to today's links:

Know what I would love to see? Who projected stats the best last year (may the last few years) out of the 4 main projection guys over at footballguys(dot)com. Dodds, Henry, Woods and Tremblay all have my great respect, but there are a few players they seem to disagree on by more than a little bit.
For example, Andrew Luck ranges from QB14 to QB25. I'm in a 12 team, 2QB league. Do I take Luck? FootballGuys is split, but I want to know which decision the more accurate guys are making.
Just an idea! Thanks!
(If you've got the individual guys' projections saved from years past and you want to send 'em to me, I could crunch that for you)
