  "Woah!" Everyone always says they want the truth, but when the truth is hard to swallow, they prefer to ignore it and remain in the dark, blissfully ignorant to the hard-factual truths going on around them.   But much like Neo in the Matrix sometimes you need a middle-aged man who haunts your dreams to abduct and drug you with a pill to wake you up to the real world around you.   I am your Morpheus, and these are 4 hard truths about the 2020 NFL Season.   1) Covid is Going to F**k up Your Fantasy Season Every fantasy football player who’s not currently in 1 st place in their league is already lobbying to have asterisks placed all over the 2020 season.  The sad truth is that not only is Covid going to F’ up your fantasy season, its looking like it’s going to F’ the real NFL right in the asterisk too.  Between postponements, star QB’s missing games, and teams not being allowed to practice for weeks on end it’s only a matter of time before the scheduling w...

The After Sunday Spaz-out (Week One) The first Monday of the NFL Season, time to freak the Hell out!  Most of week 1 is in the books and like every week one Monday Morning, fans, media and talking heads alike will be freaking-out across airwaves and social media platforms.   Hot takes will pollute the air worse than the West Coast forest fires and fans of 1-0 teams will be talking nonsense about their imminent dynasty.   That’s just the ridiculous world we live in.   So, we’re here to pump the breaks and restore a little rationality to the football world by looking at some of week 1’s top takeaways and determining if they are legit mountains or mere molehills.   Bill & Cam’s Excellent Adventure Bill Belichick began his football life after Tom Brady with a win against the Miami Dolphins and the Cam Newton era was brought to Foxborough via ground delivery.  Cam ran for 2 TDs and contributed a team high 75 yards to the Patri...

2020 NFL PREDICTIONS BY: EVAN SLADE AKA NOSTRA – GOD – DAMASS Gaze into my crystal balls Finally, 2020 has given us something to look forward to.   The NFL season is upon us… We think.   In a year that has been like a firehose of raw sewage directly down our collective gullet, we can at long last take a deep breath and feel hopeful.   Hopeful that the season does indeed playout in full and that our favorite team finally reaches the championship potential we always knew they had.   Or at the very least hopeful that our 1 st round fantasy pick doesn’t tear an ACL in week one and our favorite grizzled veteran coordinator doesn’t die of Covid-19.   You know, little miracles and such. After successfully predicting last year’s Super Bowl Champions my readership (which consists exclusively of degenerate gamblers) has pleaded with me to use my futurist ability again.   Since I don’t want to let the dozens of fans who keep this website afloat d...

Like the great racecar driver Ricky Bobby used to say, “if you ain’t first, your last”.   There can only be one Super Bowl LIV Champ so eventually 31 other teams will come face to face with the demise of their 2019 season.   For some teams this will come in a celebrated blaze of glory during a shootout divisional or championship round playoff loss, for others the end came at the final gun of their week 17 game like the mortal pop of a dimming incandescent light bulb finally blowing out.   Some team’s seasons died in its infancy and they’ve been zombie walking through most of the regular season collecting pay checks while eyeing hot new coaching candidates and 2020 draft prospects.   With most teams’ seasons already in a body bag Bobtanney.com is pulling our rubber gloves on to do an elbow deep autopsy on the loser teams from the 2019 NFL season.   On second thought, nurse, scratch the rubber gloves, we’re going in bare backhands on this one. Bring in the N...

What Week 1 Taught Us Easy Ed's kid is poised for big numbers this year.  By: Evan Slade AKA Dusty Rhodes Stomach Splotch Fantasy football is a fickle friend, one good week and you feel like a football genius, breathing the same rarified air as other great football minds that came before you, thought of in the same pantheon of Belichick, Walsh and Lombardi.   One bad week and you’re a dumb stupid idiot! With no business playing pretend general manager for a virtual professional football team.   Week one is particularly judgemental on a personal level.   With recently drafted players, your newborn team stands elevated, with that fresh-out-of-the-box, new toy smell.   Hope, joy and admiration surrounds each one of your handpicked jocks right up until the opening kickoff.   With the least amount of injury wear and tear and no bye week to force your hand on unwanted roster moves, week 1 is the purest chance you have to flex your general management...
