British Police Say They're Closing In on Raoul Moat
By Theunis Bates - AOL NewsLONDON (July 9) -- It's been six days since Raoul Moat embarked on a shooting spree in the north of England, allegedly shooting his ex-girlfriend, killing her boyfriend and seriously wounding a police officer. But after a series of breakthroughs, authorities now think they may be close to tracking down the cop-hating gunman, who is believed to be hiding out in the hills and forests of Northumberland, a largely rural county about 270 miles north of London. Here are the latest developments in the biggest manhunt Britain has seen in decades: He's Lost Three Phones Police today announced that ...
Fantasy Football Reality Check: Playoffs No Time to Sit Your Studs
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsEach Monday of the fantasy football season, we'll cut through the fantasy numbers put up by individuals and tell you what they really mean. In most other times of the season, I'm OK with getting cute and trying to gamble with spot plays. In the playoffs, though, it's win or go home. You don't mess around and focus on things like the fact that Adrian Peterson had just 19 yards on 13 carries in Week 13. You play the guy you drafted first overall -- or traded a killing for. There are no two ways about it. I couldn't believe how many people were asking questions in Sunday morning's tailgate on ...
Men's Group Tells Rihanna to 'Woman Up'
By Helena Andrews - Politics DailyOn Thursday, the National Coalition for Men (yeah, me neither) released a statement calling on pop princess Rihanna, the very public victim of physical abuse at the hands of her fellow chart-topping ex-boyfy Chris Brown, to "woman up" and accept responsibility for her role in their now infamous battle royale. In an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, which airs at 10 tonight on "20/20," Rihanna will for the first time talk about what happened that night, and the NCFM says the "Disturbia" singer isn't telling the whole truth."According to court records and other sources, Rihanna struck Brown in ...
What's the Story on Steve Slaton?
By Stephanie Stradley - AOL NewsIf you write about the Houston Texans, the No. 1 question you get from fans and fantasy football types is what's up with Steve Slaton? In the last game against the atrocious run defense of the Buffalo Bills, Slaton was benched after only one catch and carry because he fumbled the ball. Yet again. Slaton has a league-high seven fumbles for the year. Coach Gary Kubiak was up front about the benching, talking about it to Slaton and the team: "I told Steve in the locker room to get his chin up. This team needs him playing well and making plays and I'm expecting him to come right back next week and ...
Handcuffs and Committees: A Fantasy Football Spin on Backfields
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsFor those who may use a different term or are new to fantasy football, "handcuff" is the term used when you own insurance for one of your players in the form of owning his real-life backup. It's usually a running back, but you could conceivably handcuff a quarterback. The theory is that some or all of the production is automatically replaced should you lose a high draft pick to injury, meaning you need to insure a high draft pick by grabbing his backup. It's All Free: Play Fantasy Football | Fantasy Football Draft Kit The problem with this theory, though, is that sometimes it falls flat on its ...
Fantasy Football Team Preview: Texans
By Ryan Dembinsky - AOL NewsWith Fantasy Football season ready to kick in high gear, FanHouse is here to preview each and every team -- one per day until we've done them all. Meet The ...Quiet Contenders. With an explosive offense -- last season's third most prolific to be precise -- Houston is a hot topic this season in fantasy terms. Last season, starter Matt Schaub and backup Sage Rosenfels combined for a franchise record in passing offense. Furthermore, rookie running back Steve Slaton proved to be the sleeper of the season.This year, with an improved defense and a healthy Schaub, the Texans look like real deal ...
Rough Draft: Controversy in the Club
By Clay Travis - AOL NewsIn "Rough Draft," lawyer-turned-writer-turned-football-player Clay Travis (right) recounts his experience training for the 2008 NFL draft alongside some future pros. The following is Part 5 of 10 installments (read Part 4 here) that FanHouse will roll out every weekday leading up to the 2009 NFL Draft on April 25. The next day's workout begins quietly, Big Mike's absence has left a giant void, literally and figuratively. Kurt Hester senses the change in atmosphere brought on by Michael Oher's departure, and steps up his chatter accordingly. As we're running forty's, Hester encourages us. "This ...
Drafting Your Fantasy Team? Be Afraid ... Be Very Afraid
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsI already covered the guys who you should not even worry about ... but now, for the sake of reciprocity, we have to check out the guys that we should fear. The top item would have been a tough choice, had I decided it had to be an individual player. Once I realized it had to just be a team, though, it became much more clear. The Cincinnati BengalsI once ranked them quite high in my team power rankings. I have loved a relatively early Carson Palmer pick, and drooled over Rudi Johnson. That's all firmly in the rear-view now, however. Could a team possibly have more things change in one freaking ...
Ahman Green Restuctures His Contract, Continues His NFL Career
By Stephanie Stradley - AOL NewsBy coaches' accounts, Ahman Green had a great camp. Then he hurt his groin during his first touch of his first preseason game and hasn't played since. He says he will be ready to go by the Pittsburgh game, and by restructuring his contract to one incentivized for game play, he is putting his money where his mouth is. According to the Houston Chronicle's John McClain: Green's base salary will be 1.8 million, which frees up 2 million in salary-cap dollars. To get Green to agree to redo his deal, the Texans are giving him $200,000 for every game in which he's active this season, starting with the ...
