KEEPER POWER RANKINGS DELUXE

By Ben Findley

In honor of me waking up before noon today I have decided to finish up the Keeper Power Rankings. Same structure as before, enjoy.

The "Kiss the Rings, Bitch!" Division
Gots to pay the respects to the King
1.) The Tron Special: David Radcliffe
RB- Adrian Peterson (1)
RB- Brian Westbrook (7)
WR- Anquan Boldin (7)
Dev- Tim Hightower (31) OR Steve Breaston (30)
The champs are back and whats not to like?
The "Barbie Doll" Division
Sexxxxy teams with no holes to fill
2.) Cincinatti Felons: James Dearman
QB- Drew Brees (1)
RB- Michael Turner (2)
WR- Reggie Wayne (5)
Dev- Jamarcus Russel (30)
3.) Assless Chaps: Sean Scogin
QB- Peyton Manning (2)
RB- Matt Forte (5)
WR- Randy Moss (4)
Dev- Devin Thomas (74)
Elite top five talent at every position. It would be nice if either of them had a developmental keeper worth half a shit but what are you gonna do?
The "Lego" Division
These teams are STACKED
4.) Passing the Pylon: Jon Provost
QB- Tony Romo (7)
RB- Deangelo Williams (4)
RB- Chris Johnson (7)
Dev- Anthony Gonzales (35)
5.) Tom Brady and the Tacklebreakers: Ben Findley
QB- Tom Brady (3)
RB- Marion Barber (10)
RB- Stephon Jackson (11)
Dev- Darren McFadden (22)
They might not be as sexy as the "Barbies" but these teams have laid the foundations to make a championship run. Elite QB + Top Ten RB's + a Quality Dev = Championshiiiiiip. Lock it up.
The "Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse" Division
6.) Super Bowl Sex Romp: Brian Burke
RB- Maurice Jones-Drew (3)
RB- Clinton Portis (12)
RB- Kevin Smith (18)
Dev- Jonathan Stewart (28)
On The Bubble- Brandon Marshall(11)
Bucking convention Burke gets his RB depth early and will worry about the rest later, and it's just crazy enough to work! There's rumblings that Brandon Marhall might not get suspended but even if he doesnt the loss of Cutler has caused enough of a stock drop that Burke should stay the course with his RB's.
The "Too Many Dicks" Division
These teams all look like playoff contenders, but there's only 6 spots on the bus...
7a.) DBagPolo Horses: Blayne Rhynsburger
RB- Frank Gore (6)
RB- LaDanian Tomlinson (13)
WR- Greg Jennings (6)
Dev- Ahmad Bradshaw (43)
7b.) I Got Bush: Brett Johnston
QB- Kurt Warner (6)
RB- Brandon Jacobs (14)
WR- Calvin Johnson (3)
Dev- Pierre Thomas (15)
Brett is gonna be holding his breath to see if the Saints draft Beanie Wells or not...
7c.) BrettWuvsWittleBoys: Lloyd Kraus
QB- Phillip Rivers (4)
RB- Marshawn Lynch (20)
WR- Steve Smith (8)
Dev- Rashard Mendenhall (45)
On The Bubble- Joseph Addai (16), Willie Parker (24)
With the top of the first round locked up expect this team to shoot up the post-draft power rankings.
7d.) First Place Losers: Peter Healey
RB- Steve Slaton (8)
RB- Ronnie Brown (21)
WR- Larry Fitzgerald (1)
Dev- Donnie Avery (37)
On The Bubble: Jay Cutler (11)
With Jay Cutlers stock dropping Peter would be smart to stick with Ronnie B. here because RB's are going to be slim pickins in the draft & Jay Cutler or a QB like him will be there in the 2nd.
The "VETO" Division
11.) Turd Burglers: Karl Augspurger
QB- Aaron Rodgers (5)
RB- Thomas Jones (17)
WR- Andre Johnson (2)
Dev- Jordy Nelson (NR)
RB1 is still Thomas Jones...
The "Thanks for the free money, bitch!" Division
12.) Platinum Players: Mike McCain
QB- Ben Roethlisberger (14)
WR- Marques Colston (11)
RB- Ryan Grant (19)
On The Bubble: Antonio Bryant (19)

Who is High Five Harry?

By Ben Findley
After reading over "The Drunk Tank" articles a few times I have to say that they are pretty well done and I still have no idea who is writing them. So 'Bravo' to you whoever you are. Though I have a "Usual Suspects" list. So I've decided to take odds on who is writing these. As an incentive for the culprit to come forward I will give him the full house take on all bets (though any bets made by him or any suspected collusion bets are disqualified). I will take bets through the week.
ODDS:
Sean 1/3
Brian 6/5
Lloyd 5/2
James 4/1
Blayne 5/1
Peter 6/1
David 7/1
Karl 7/1
Brett 12/1
Jon 15/1
Mike 20/1
Ben 100/1
-Max Bet $20
-Leave your Bets in the comments section
-All Bets considered Binding once culprit is considered to be generally accepted "common knowledge"
-Culprit must answer some impromtu questions from me "Holy Grail style" including but not limited to, "What is your favorite color?" and "What is your quest?"
