Broncos WR Wes Welker has been suspended 4 games by the NFL for violating the policy on P-E-D’s… Welker, a key to this great offense will come back to action in wk.6 because of a Broncos bye in wk. 4… With no Welker, Demarius Thomas will be aside from new addition, Emmanuel Sanders. Sanders will be big in fantasy these next 5 weeks. With Welker, a man with way too many concussions as in one that could of held him out for Sunday’s big showdown with the Colts., but knowing Welker, this suspension could be a complete accident, we’ll you never know with today’s players… Also in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys have signed Michael Sam, the 1st openly gay NFL player to their practice squad. This signing puts this rookie with great potential to the team he roots for and a beginning for a great journey. Sam had a few big sacks in the pre-season. Also, Sam’s jersey is high selling, just what money owner Jerry Jones loves. Football starts tonight! I’m so excited! I have Seahawks...

Last night I had my fantasy football draft which I was preparing for all summer long, yes that means studying in camp with my magazines and at home doing 14 mock drafts! We’ll, after my draft experience last night, I am so-so on my team. Here’s my report: Overall I would give myself a B, (not a C+ Yahoo!). At QB I have Bears QB Jay Cutler. Why I picked him? He’s throwing to 2 top 12 WR’s in Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall, plus RB Matt Forte and TE Martellus Bennett. If he uses them to his advantage, watch out. I got a great pair of RB in Vikings RB Adrian Peterson for my 1st rounder and Alfred Morris from the Redskins as my RB2. Peterson will hopefully put up AP, 1st round numbers this year. With Matt Cassel or Teddy Bridgewater playing QB, it will always be run 1st. With Morris, he’s playing in an explosive offense with QB Robert Griffin III who can run and pass to an explosive trio of WR’s Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson and my TE Jordan Reed. But at the same time, Morris can have a big year with RG3 spreading out the D… Im so-so with my (starting) WR’s of Victor Cruz and Torrey Smith because neither of them is a true, elite WR1 . Cruz is more of a...

Michael Sam was drafted by the St.Louis Rams in this year’s draft making history as the 1st openly gay football player. Now he has failed to survive the pre-season cuts of 74-53. He is now eligible to sign with a practice squad after being unclaimed on waivers. He had a great preseason having 3 sacks and most importantly, making the world crazy when he sacked fellow rookie and popular QB, Johnny Manziel. This perseason has been an accomplishment for Sam, now he will find a new home whether it’s serving as a backup or on the practice squad… Also in football, Chiefs QB, Alex Smith has signed a 4 year, $68 M deal with KC. As ESPN was saying, he may not be an elite, “Top 10” QB, but he brought stability to a Chiefs offense who 3 seasons ago went 2-14 and just were plain embarrassing. Good deal for KC. Another recent deal was Former Veteran QB for the Broncos and Cowboys, Kyle Orton signed a $5 M deal with the Bills yesterday to back up 2nd year QB, E.J Manuel. E.J is injury prone and very inconsistent so Orton may see some chances this season.  This is too much money for the career backup (most of the time) also knowing he’s pretty old compared to most...
