It's been 4 days since the NFL equivalent of the transfer window opened, and wow, what a hectic few days it has been! It all began at the start of last week when "legal tampering" a weird (oxymoron americanism) window opened, allowing teams to talk to players contracted to other teams and let them know...

Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Wide Receivers @jayhatton49
So in the final part of this series of posts, the wide receiver. Much of this season was actually a disappointment for the position. Only 3 receivers scored 200 or more points which was the lowest since 2012 and only 4 players recorded 1000 yards and 10 TDs which was the lowest since 2011. The... Continue Reading →
Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Kickers and Defense @jayhatton49
So thanks to the extra point being pushed back, the kicker has been pushed back into relevancy again. It is costing a few kickers jobs but man they are at least important again. So many games this year were lost because kickers miss an extra point, even the Patriots in the Superbowl had a usually... Continue Reading →
Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Tight Ends @jayhatton49
The tight end position has gone through much change over the years. As the position title sort of suggests, he fits on the end of the offensive line and is both a blocker and able to release off the line of scrimmage and catch passes. They have to have strength and footwork of a 300lb... Continue Reading →
Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Running Backs @jayhatton49
So Adam and I talked and thought it best to hold off the continuing review of the Fantasy Football season till after the Superbowl, and rightfully so because WOW. One of the best games I have ever seen and discussions about Brady as the best QB ever will continue forever. Personally I would always go... Continue Reading →
Wow… Just… Wow. Superbowl Review
Where do you start after a game like that?! What an amazing end to the season. The list of records broken in that one game covers a whole sheet of A4, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C39rGd0VUAEKSOo.jpg - The biggest ones, I guess... Bellichek and Brady playing in their 7th, winning their 5th Superbowl ring. Brady breaking passing records all over... Continue Reading →
It’s the Superbowl! Falcons vs Patriots
It's finally here, the culmination of the hard work put in by the 32 teams who started the season with hopes of reaching the final game. Out of those teams 10 or so held realistic hopes of reaching this point. Ironically the Falcons were probably not among those teams, in fact they had the 6th... Continue Reading →
Superbowl Stupid Prop bets
The Superbowl is here! (Well, on Sunday) So it's the bookies chance to try and cash in on part timer viewers wanting to make the game a little more "interesting" and they do that pretty well by offering a variety of frankly ridiculous prop "bets" So. Instead of dumbing down the proper write up, coming... Continue Reading →
Superbowl preview…preview… @Touchdowntips
As Jay may have mentioned in his fantasy QB write up (https://touchdowntips.com/2017/01/28/under-the-hat-fantasy-2016-review-the-qb-jayhatton49/) It's a week until the Superbowl, so there's really not much to talk about this week for us on the blog. We'll try and keep some content coming up over the summer, although i'm not sure what it will be, there obviously won't... Continue Reading →
Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. The QB @jayhatton49
So as some of you may have heard, the Superbowl is on next week. This week is the hum drum and quite honestly boring Pro Bowl. Which, unlike it's basketball opposite, doesn't actually have all of the best players in the game because a good few of those players are playing in the Superbowl or... Continue Reading →
