The Solis Report, Pre-Draft Special Part II: An Idiot’s Guide to the 2019 Rookie Class, 1.01-1.12

Man, I feel like one of those guys on “House Surgery” or “House Eye for the House Guy” because I look around RotoViz today and it’s unrecognizable! Have you clicked some of these links? This site is a straight up stunner. They used to say Steve Jobs’ brilliance was in showing you what you didn’t even realize you desperately needed. It almost makes me want…...

The Solis Report: Pre-Draft Special

These days, I’m not sleeping well. Every time I close my eyes a certain number burns bright against the red-black darkness of my inner eyelids. I wake up exhausted and drag myself as if underwater to the bathroom, little more than a spectator in my own life. Beneath the white noise of the shower, a low and sinister whisper: “32 Jokes™.” I shake my head and…...

The Freedman Report Week 15: Cam Newton Wishes on a Monkey’s Paw

Ah, your season is over. You look back and count your mistakes. You start gearing up for the 2017 draft, even though Nick Chubb and Royce Freeman are no longer going to be a part of it. Ugh. You’re depressed, now. Denny Carter starts making sense. And yet, shimmering in the distance: 32 jokes that never cared whether you won or lost in the first place…....

The Freedman Report Week 10: AND CHRISTINE MICHAEL’S DYNASTY STOCK COMES ROARING BACK TO LIFE!

We in the cult of Christine Michael will take advantage of almost any opportunity to talk about him. But, he already had his own special edition of the Freedman Report after Week 3, so I’m going to make sure I cover some of the other happenings from Week 10….

The Freedman Report Week 9: Mike Evans for President and Something Sinister in Seattle

Earlier this week, I wasted minutes of my life photoshopping Hillary’s head onto Christine Michael’s body. You know the one; the star-spangled jumpsuit, gold chains, and mismatched designer sneakers. It wasn’t my best work, but neither is this column. Time for some jokes…. Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership LevelsAlready a member? Log in here...

The Freedman Report Week 8: Silver, Black, and the Best Thing I Ever Did

To quote basically everyone, I was “on BYE” last week. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that on my own. Well-rested though I am, it’s also probably going to be the cleverest joke this week.

Man, I can’t believe the Chargers won. It’s been a non-stop celebration since last Thursday. I’m not even sure I remember any of the games except that one. But, as Maggie says, “You don’t even need to watch the games to write this column. Nothing needs to happen at all.” San Diego Chargers If this team was going to win even once more before San…...

The Freedman Report Week 4: “Coolio Jones” and Several Other Great Rap References

Last week, savvy readers realized that I had spelled “Christine Michael” with the first letter of each heading. That’s why I listed “Indianapolis Colts” three times. This week, I am so zonked out on cold medication that the most interesting thing I’ll probably do is reference last weeks’ easter eggs. It’s gonna be a rough one.

The Freedman Report Week 1: Love, Loss, and the Big Fat Told-Ya-So

Every year, without fail, Week 1 teaches us “lessons” that probably won’t have much staying power against the backdrop of an entire season. If I were writing this column after Week 1 of last year, I’d probably have spent four paragraphs on Darren Fells. I’d have called him “Darren Fellskowski.” The heading would’ve been “How I Fells in Love with Darren.” You get the idea. Recognizing…...

2016 NFL Draft Impact – AFC West

In seven rounds, with a total of 32 picks, the AFC West collectively managed to draft eight players who might make a difference on your fantasy team. Of those eight, only three were selected in the first three rounds. Are you as amped as I am!? LETS DO THIS. A word about non-skill positions, generally I’m not trying to shit on Joey Bosa.

Dynasty Impact Week 15: David Johnson, Cam Newton, and the Return of the King

In dynasty, your season is never over. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself because I have definitely been mostly eliminated from contention at this point. Even though all sensible leagues are currently locked down as the championship game looms, real-life NFL players remain blissfully unaware that their on-field actions are affecting their all-important dynasty values!
