The NHL at 10%

Hockey is violent ballet; grace and guts. And yes, if you’re skating on the same thin ice I am, The Nutcracker would sell more tickets if we knew sometime during the Sugar Plum Fairy one of the dancers would get crosschecked.

Okay, we’re around the 10% mark of the season. No, there was not a 0% report as a) zero means no games have been played, and b) no one wants to be a zero. What you’re going to see here is a breakdown of each team so far by conference and who’s going to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup based upon the current standings. Let’s go East first.

FBC NFL Power Rankings Week 8

I’m jet lagged. I’ll get back into full style next week. Pinky promise. In the meantime, here is this week’s power rankings! As always, the NFC is an absolute disaster where we are destined to have every team finish 8-8, except for the Lions who will go 7-8-1 and the Cardinals, who will somehow go 8-7-1. I’m half tempted to only rank the AFC, but what fun is that. Lets do this!

1: New England Patriots

Now that the Patriots have gotten done playing the minor league portion of their schedule, they get to play **checks schedule** The Browns??? Are you kidding me? Nick Saban is embarrassed by the schedule the Patriots have played so far. And of course, the moment one players goes down, in this case Josh Gordon, they trade for Mohammad Sanu, who will promptly go off for 272 receiving yards this week, and then be deactivated the week after because Bill Belichick wants to run a three fullback set.

Fancy Boys Football Mailbag Week 7

Fancy Boys founder Matt Drufke doesn’t know anything about football. Lucky for him, Brandon Andreasen and Jack Baker do.

Each week, Matt emails Brandon and Jack NFL questions, they then immediately go and make fun of his lack of knowledge in a secret group chat. They then go and answer the questions. Here are those answers.

A Fancy Guide to the 2019-20 NBA Season

A Fancy Guide to the 2019-20 NBA Season

When I came on board at Fancy Boys this summer, it was under a pretense that I’d talk about basketball a bit. So immediately, I began working on my evil plan for the 2019-20 NBA Season. This is one of the most anticipated NBA seasons in recent memory, and if you haven’t given the league your attention in the past, maybe this is the year you should.

Joe vs. Punk II: A Love Letter

It’s astounding how few things I cared about when I was 15. I didn’t care about my grades, I didn’t care about Pop Culture or current music. I certainly didn’t care how I dressed (a trend that continues to this day), but if you asked me in October of 2004, just a few weeks after my 15th birthday, what I did care about, I would have said “Joe vs. Punk II.”

XFL Draft Instant Reactions & Analysis Part 1

XFL Draft Instant Reactions & Analysis Part 1

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: the XFL draft. Unlike the NFL Draft where people watch for some reason, the XFL draft happened mostly on Twitter and maybe a conference call.

The Draft was broken down into separate groups for: Offensive Skill Players, Offensive Lineman, Defensive Front Seven, Defensive Backs, and Dealer’s Choice. Teams were assigned QBs by the league, which spared us from having to watch teams hope that noted NFL washouts like Aaron Murray and Matt McGloin would fall to them.

Who will join the illustrious ranks of past XFL greats like Tommy Maddox, He Hate Me and …? Let’s find out! Our resident XFL Experts Jack Baker and Brandon Andreasen have the hottest XFL draft instant reactions and analysis.

FBC NFL Power Rankings Week 7

Ok boners, i’m in Maui for my sister’s wedding. The sun is out, the ocean wave is crashing just beyond my lanai, and i’ve been getting day drunk for 2 days because the sun doesn’t set on a bad ass. It’s gonna be a shorty this week, and maybe i’ll get it going big time again next week.

1: New England Patriots

I genuinely hope this team self destructs the moment they have to play an NFL team. Seriously, their schedule is more embarrassing than Alabama’s early season schedule. They should be forced to play in the NFC West for a season, then see how magical Bill Belichik is when he is forced to play in a competitive division.
