Fantasy Nightmare Brewing in Bears Country

It’s only March and already the impending Fantasy Football season has been dealt a serious blow. Just days after inking Chester Taylor to a four-year deal, overrated Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz has declared he has not one, but two starting running backs:

“We have two starters,” Martz told Chicagobears.com… They will share carries.”

They being Taylor and last year’s fantasy bust Matt Forte. Ugh. Thanks Mike. Way to further dilute the NFL running back rankings by using the dreaded committee approach.

Happy Dump Day: Spring Fever

Well, we made it through another week, which means its Hump Day Dump Day once again here at SportsUntapped.

Roy Halladay: the Doctor is in

Roy Halladay claims he’s “working on his stamina” this spring.  The new addition to the Philadelphia Phillies rotation pitched three shutout innings Tuesday, striking out five Atlanta Braves during his second spring appearance in a Phillies uni.

The Phanatic, Green Man and everyone in the City of Brotherly Love could not be happier.

Halladay, acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays this winter, has tossed five innings total this spring without allowing a run. He says all he’s thinking about is “throwing strikes” and that “the rest will come.”  What else is he going to bring?  Magical fairy dust?  Unicorns?  It doesn’t get much better than this guy.

The Colorado Rockies also had a pretty good day yesterday, crushing the Los Angeles Dodgers 12-0 like Frank McCourt plans to get crushed every month by his estranged wife, who’s seeking $1 millon per month in alimony.  Yikes.

Stephen Strasburg Makes Long-Awaited Debut

You can stop holding your breath, counting the days, and bracing yourselves.  The earth’s axis didn’t shift due to the unexplainable awesomeness of Stephen Strasburg throwing a baseball on Tuesday.

The highly-touted Washington Nationals prospect (who really is pretty badass) was a little nervous out there against the Detroit Tigers, having some occasional location trouble during his spring training debut.  Otherwise, the 21-year-old righty was awfully impressive.

Strasburg allowed two hits and threw 27 pitches in all — 15 for strikes — including a crazy 81 mph breaking ball to Brent Dlugach.  (Who?  He wants to be a shortstop when he grows up.)

Bruce Weber Has No Time For Your Shenanigans

It’s not easy being a bubble team where your very postseason life lives and dies by your in-game performances. I can imagine life in such a pressure cooker would have its disadvantages, especially when the team you coach gets their collective asses handed to them by conference rival Wisconsin. Just ask Bruce Weber, head coach of Illinois, and perhaps his best player, Demetri McCamey.

McCamey committed a silly foul during the Wisconsin beatdown, and when he headed back to the bench, he tried to avoid Weber’s wrath.

Bad move.

Derek Anderson Gets the Boot in Cleveland Obviously the Cleveland Browns long-term plan was to have Brady Quinn as the starter behind center eventually, but they were planning on to write out the Derek Anderson hot streak which only basically lasted one season.

Cavs Top Spurs without LeBron Much like the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers without Kobe Bryant, Cleveland Cavaliers have seldom had to play without their superstar in LeBron James.
