{STYLE} The Patriots...Keepin' it Klassy

The Patriots and their new bling...yuck.  It makes me sad to see a team or a player think that they have to cheat or play around the rules to win.  However, the size of this ring proves once again how incredibly Klassy the Patriots are.  Enjoy your time off, Brady...I hope this ring was worth it. 

Quick vocab lesson: Klassy

The opposite meaning of the word classy. Mostly used on social media websites where people try to impress their peers and brag about looking wealthy or classy, but in fact leaves the opposite impression.

"Kim Kardashian's dress is so Klassy!"

This is what 205 diamonds looks like...

The team says it is the “largest Super Bowl ring ever made” with 205 diamonds in all. Maybe they are making up for their deflated balls? lol

And I thought Giselle was the Diva in this relationship..."I want all the big diamonds!" 

stay Klassy New England... 

maybe now Bilichick can get a new sweatshirt? 

So many more comments come to mind with this topic...what are your thoughts on NFL Players walking around with 205 diamonds?  Let me know!

{FOOTBALL} Quarterbacks by the 2014 Numbers

The Quarterback...aka the Prom King, Class President, Valedictorian well unless it's Johnny Manizel you are talking about! He's the leader on and off the field.  Everyone knows their name and number - Peyton - 18, Luck - 12...here is what the QB Class of 2014 accomplished: 

Fourteen

The number of quarterbacks who posted 300-plus Fantasy points over the course of the season, up three from 2013.

22.02

The average Fantasy points per game from quarterbacks who finished in the Top 12, an indicator of what should be considered a "very good" game. That number is up 0.7 points per game from 2013.

83.3 percent

The highest consistency rate (frequency of getting 20-plus Fantasy points per game) among all quarterbacks in 2014. It belonged to Carson Palmer, who had 20-plus in five of six games.

Ten

The number of quarterbacks who had at least 300 Fantasy points and a consistency rate of at least 50 percent. Some of the folks who aren't a part of that list: Ben Roethlisberger, Ryan Tannehill, Matthew Stafford, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan. It confirms that they were the most volatile quarterbacks in 2014, with Ryan the most dangerous of them all with over 320 Fantasy points and just six games with 20-plus points on the year (37.5 percent).

Three

Ryan also tied (with Geno Smith) for the most games with 18 or 19 Fantasy points with three. Had he converted those three games to 20-point games, he would have had nine with such a high mark and a consistency rate similar to Brees, Russell Wilson and Eli Manning. Ryan also had nine games last season with 18-plus Fantasy points.

206

The number of 20-plus-point games by every quarterback in Fantasy last year. The number is actually down three from 2013. 

So, what is your opinion of where to draft a QB?  Do you always pick one in the first round or do you wait to see who drops to you later in the draft?  Is there a certain one you must have even though he's not in the top 10?  Let me know where you think a QB should be drafted?
