Rick Perkins lives in Loveland, CO. with his wife of 14 years and two children.  In a life prior to Fantasy Football Trader his hobbies were bass fishing, fly-fishing and any other excuse to get up into the mountains over the weekend. 

Rick began playing dynasty league Fantasy Football in 1995 and is entering his 15th season.  He has enjoyed a verifiable 75%+ cashout rate in the leagues he plays; with experince in many formats - auction, dynasty rookie and regular redraft formats.  In his "home" dynasty league Rick posted fantasy championships in '02, '04, '05, '06 and a 3rd place cash in '07.  A second place blemish in 2003 prevented the 5-peat. 

As a member in good standing with the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, Rick's expertise in dynasty league valuations and advanced trade strategy is unparalelled by anyone in the fantasy sports industry. 

Robb Perkins was born and raised in Lincoln, NE. where he lives today with his wife of 15 years and five children.  To say life is hectic is an understatement!  Between home life and Fantasy Football Trader there isn't much time for anything else.  When a break presents itself, Robb like's to bass fish and play video games with the boys. 

Robb began playing fantasy football in 1994 and is entering 16th season, including his 14th as commish of the "home" dynasty league.  He has won two championships but is in a third place drought lately. 

Robb's other job has him dealing with numbers and stats all day and he prides himself on gathering fantasy statistics that the average person may not even think about.  Then applying those numbers toward helping you crush your competition.  His motto is "Stat's don't lie" and he's a valuable resource for the F.F.T. community to have on their side.

Dave Fosdick lives in Evans, Colorado, with his wife of ten years Holly, 3 daughters, and loyal dog Crash Davis.  Sports have always been a passion and currently coaches wrestling and of course coaching his daughters in whatever sport they are in at the present time. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done but fantasy football never seems like work anyway.

Dave  has been playing Fantasy Football Since 1994.  He has competed in 31 total leagues and has notched 8 championships,  4 runner-ups, and 17 top 3 finishes.  Dave has failed to make the playoffs THREE! times in all of his teams ever that used H2H format.  The strengths to Dave’s FF game comes through rock-solid drafts and building the team through free agency. He rarely makes more then 1 or 2 trades a year and only minor moves.   

 

The "Godfather of Fantasy Football", Jon Rascon has been playing fantasy football for 15+ years and has yet to see "luck" play a part in any of the countless championships he's won. A native Iowan, but Floridian at heart, Jon takes every opportunity to talk up his Miami Hurricanes. He also has two daughters, Savannah and Lydia, who also represent The U whenever possible.

In his spare time, Jon used to love watching youtube videos of Kimbo Slice. But now that Slice got punk'd, Jon enjoys the simple things in life, such as cracking on his friends' favorite teams (Iowa Hawkeyes, Dallas Cowboys and Notre Dame Irish are all targets of opportunity), throwing down large wagers on centsports.com, and watching House reruns.

Jeremy Fischer is a native Texan, having grown up in Houston and earned a degree in Theatre from the University of Texas.   His life was permanently altered by Vince Young and the Longhorns’ National Championship in 2005.

He currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife of 8 years, his 5-month old daughter Grace and his very “manly” dog Tex (he goes all of 10lbs. soaking wet).

He was first introduced to fantasy gaming when his family started a Fantasy NASCAR league 10 years ago—a league that still exists today, and a league where he’s never lost money.  He expanded to Fantasy Baseball and Fantasy Football a couple years after that, and is now even caught participating in Fantasy Golf.

Obviously hired for his tremendous good looks, he dispenses fine fantasy knowledge as well.  Since 2006, his work can be found at www.getsportsinfo.com.  He currently hosts a Fantasy Baseball podcast entitled Fantasy Fastball, which can be found at www.getsportsradio.com, where he dispenses fantasy baseball gems.  He is the current champion of the GetSports house league (thank you Aaron Stecker).

Erik Blomain is 21 years old and currently a Senior at Cornell University, where he studies Biology and Classical History. He one day hopes to be a doctor, but currently moonlights as a sports talk radio personality on 93.5 WVBR FM Ithaca and as an analyst for the Cornell Investment Club where he helps manage a large portfolio. His interest in fantasy sports began at age 13, and since then he has participated in many leagues each year, notching multiple championships in the process.

As he grew up so did his understanding of fantasy baseball. His experience in science and finance give him the tools to evaluate the fantasy market from an economic and statistical standpoint. His strategy involves exploiting the inefficient market that is fantasy football- acquiring statistics and players that are undervalued and selling those that are overvalued. As a result of this approach, his rosters typically have high turnover rates as he makes many, many trades per season. His high school league-mates have long since stopped trading with him because of his reputation for being able to sell crap to anyone and getting gold in return.

Erik is an avid Philadelphia sports fan, has a girlfriend of 5 years, Dara." 

Stan Feldman is a member in good standing with the Fantasy Sports Writers Association that has played fantasy sports longer than he hasn't. He brings to the Trader Team four years experience covering fantasy football.

Currently, you can also catch Stan's work at TheFantasyFootballTimes.com and as an editor at knowhuddle.com.  He is also a regular contributor to the Wilmington Star-News in Wilmington, North Carolina. Due to his experience as a writer, friends often ask how good he is at fantasy sports, and he favorably compares himself to Tiger Woods.

On a personal note, Stan attended Cornell University and lives in New York City where he works as an aspiring writer/director. He recently wrapped production on his first short film, which was shot on location at Barack Obama's Inauguration.

Yet another FSWA member, Frank Mazzola is also a fantasy football staff writer for Sportsbuff.com since June '08 where he started out writing a weekly fantasy hockey column. Frank joined the football staff in August last year and took over the Weekly Injury Report. In January '09, he began writing the "Start 'Em/Bench 'Em" Report for those who engaged in Sportsbuff's Fantasy Playoff Contest. 

Frank is 38 years old and left his sales career back in May of 2007, determined to become a sportswriter. To that end, he has pursued this line of work with a passion and currently writes not only for Sportsbuff.com, but also www.sportstalkbuzz.com (fantasy hockey, NHL, NFL and the WWE) and www.rotoexperts.com (fantasy hockey).
 

Steve Cavanagh has been playing fantasy football for a decade now and has experienced many highs (back to back championships when Priest Holmes was the man!) and many lows (losing this year in the semis thanks to the collapse of the Cowboys of which he owned Witten, Barber and Romo).

A native of the Great Pacific Northwest, Steve resides with his wife and child a short drive north of Seattle (and no he doesn't want to discuss the current state of the Seahawks), in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Steve is a prototypical jock who excelled on the hardwood in college and broke into the fantasy sports realm in the early '90s, competing in a dynasty baseball league, of which he is a six time champion.

As for fantasy football, competitors fear the infamous Cavanagh crystal ball that he brings to drafts that help him predict the next breakout stars and avoid the busts. An expert in forecasting and trend analyis, he prides himself on being a step ahead of the curve!

As for spare time, it's spent doing the things a true sports nut does such as watching classic ESPN, forecasting March Madness months before, checking spring training schedules for baseball and of course break down the upcoming NFL draft! THERE IS NO OFFSEASON!

John Kezer has resided in Williamsport, Pennsylvania since August of 2008. Born and raised in Maryland, he moved north to further his entrepreneurial ventures and fantasy career beyond that of The Talented Mr. Roto. John now hosts First Fantasy Radio on ESPN Radio Williamsport WLYC along with his roommate. The show airs every Thursday from 6-7pm. You can also find supplemental material and the majority of John's independent writings at First Fantasy Online.
 
Having been blessed with self-taught Photoshop and GIMP skills, John takes every opportunity to make fun of today's athletes in visual form. Sometimes a picture suits the occasion better than a thousand words could.
 
When not dominating fantasy leagues or spreading propaganda through the radio and internet waves, John enjoys being a beer connoisseur and playing his guitar. Sometimes the two are done in tandem - the results of which are never good.

Special Contributor - John Tuvey
Senior NFL Analyst at The Huddle.com

    
                            Fantasy Sports Writer of the Year '07 - 3rd place.

Born and raised in Minnesota, John was scarred for life at an early age by the Vikings’ loss in Super Bowl VIII… and again in SB IX… and yet again in SB XI. While the anguish that goes with being a Vikings fan continues, John has found other football triumphs he can call his own. A four-year career at Division III power St. John’s University under the legendary John Gagliardi—the winningest coach in college football history—gave John a great view of the field… and they actually let him play in eight games, too! 

It was about this time that John discovered fantasy football, and over the past 20 years he’s played in countless leagues and earned numerous titles—from "repeat champion" to "perennial contender" to "that &%#@$*!". John has also spent the past nine years helping others win their leagues by sharing his thoughts about fantasy football through a variety of outlets; in fact, in 2007 he was a finalist for the FSWA’s prestigious Fantasy Football Writer of the Year award.

John has also appeared on several radio stations across the country and co-hosts Fantasy Football Weekly in Minneapolis as well as the Fantasy Football Pants Party podcast. It goes without saying, then, that his wife of 13 years is a very understanding woman and his four children not only know who Adrian Peterson is but could tell you his 40 time.

FISCHER TAKES DOWN FSWA AWARD 2008 HUMOR COLUMNIST OF THEY YEAR

The Fantasy Sports Writers Association (FSWA) was founded to be a voice for writers in the arena of fantasy sports. Moreover, the organization strives to promote and acknowledge the hard work and dedication shown by fantasy sports writers throughout the industry. On January 27th, 2009 at the Fantasy Sports Trade Association in St. Peter's Beach, Fla. the FSWA served notice to the fantasy community, what was already common knowledge to our newsletter subscribers; that our own Jeremy Fischer is one hell of an entertaining journalist!   Back in December, Jeremy threw his hat in the ring for "Best Humor Article in 2008", by submitting a few of his "Quick H.I.T. (Humorous and Informational Tidbits)".   He outdueled industry icon Lenny Pappano of DraftSharks.com and F.F.T. friend Geoffrey Stein of Mock Draft Central.  More than 200 writers submitted 823 articles for award considerations and we're proud to be affiliated with one left standing at the top.   Take a bow Jeremy!
