Three questions

1. You’ve reached a fairly prominent spot for both fantasy and NFL draft stuff. Do you get a bigger kick out of scouting and analyzing the draft or analyzing fantasy and fielding all the start/sit questions?

Draft — The NFL draft is the ultimate cliffhanger, seeing how all the pieces fall in place, then the career of each of a cliffhanger in an of itself, seeing whether the teams look wise or foolish when the dust settles. I also love scouting at the all-star game practices and following all of the rumors and subterfuge leading up to draft day.

2. How do you balance stats versus what you see in the games when doing your fantasy work?

Stat analysis is overrated. The sample size in a football season is too small to extrapolate meaningful outcomes, and stat analysis is backward-looking, not forward-looking. Always trust your eyes.

3. For anyone with entrepreneurial visions, what have you and scouting partner Cecil Lammey done behind the scenes to get to where you can make a living covering football?

Treat everyone with respect, give all glory to the game and those who play it, take risks and believe in yourself!

Bonus: How do your parents and college professors feel about you eschewing your law degree to slum it with us sports folks?

I think my law school professors knew that I wasn’t going to practice law. I went to law school to see if I wanted to practice law. The answer was no, and I don’t recommend that strategy to anyone. My mother has always supported me as long as I pursued happiness, so, of course, she’s happy because I’m happy.

As we reported nearly three weeks ago, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys.com will be hosting a 12-hour megashow on BlogTalkRadio’s The Fantasy Sports Channel on Saturday (Aug. 29) to raise money and awareness for cystic fibrosis research.

The Audible’s Drive for Cystic Fibrosis will kick off at noon Eastern on the FSC and run all the way to midnight (for the non-math majors in our audience), with Footballguys.com’s Matt Waldman and Andrew Garda of ThunderingBlurb.com stepping in for 30-minute breaks at 3 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.

The hosts will be talking football and fantasy football all day with a slew of guests (including me at 4 p.m.). Bloom says the “tentative” schedule of topics looks like this …
