Smarty Pants Minus the Pants - Weekly Trivia!

Orangutans are the second smartest primates on planet Earth, trailing only us bloggin' humans. Due to their heightened intelligence, we can only assume that they're jealous and plotting to overthrow us, whether it's via mispronunciation or biding their time to rise to power in a post apocalyptic world.

Their facial hair and double chin capabilities already rival our own.
Congrats to Nick for the correct answer!

This week, our march to fantasy baseball infamy/glory reaches its conclusion. Championship match-ups are underway, and evidently there are some teams trying to make the postseason in real life, too, although I don't see the point since we should all just accept a beltway World Series between the Nats and O's. My question this week...

Between the Nationals and the Orioles: what player has the highest WAR (Wins Above Replacement) among position players on those teams this year?
  • Adam Jones
  • Adam LaRoche
  • Ian Desmond
  • Matt Wieters
  • Ryan Zimmerman
Good luck, and have a great weekend.

TDZ DangerWire(TM) Update - Week 4

There was a whole lot of fantasy commotion this week as replacement referees have taken over. When in doubt, always plug in your players who are on their home turf, like Justin Tucker, or Golden Tate.

What do you do if they're playing themselves?!
TDZ breaks down the chaos ahead of the Week 4 action.

TDZ DangerWire(TM) Update - Week 2

It was a topsy-turvy Week 2 in the NFL: major injuries, last-second drama, broken tackles, and broken html code.


In spite of all the chaos, TDZ has digested it and is ready to shed some light on the bi-product with another round of DangerWire updates.

Darren's Dumps - Weekly Trivia!

This week's trivia participants will be surprised to learn that it was not DeMarco Murray, but Darren Sproles who had the fewest number of rushing yards among the choices given. He ran for just 603 yards, but compiled 86 receptions for 710 more yards. Since Drew Brees just dumps the ball off to him, those plays seem like rushes even though they're not.


Y'know what I haven't talked about in a while? Monkeys. More accurately, I've been thinking about primates. A recent CNN article discussed the discovery of a new species of monkey, and after reading it and gazing upon its immensely creepy countenance, I wondered...

What is the primate with the second highest IQ to humans?
  • Chimpanzee
  • Orangutan
  • Gorilla
  • Proboscis Monkey
  • Mandrill
Good luck!

Introducing TDZ's New DangerWire(TM) Updates

Fantasy sports is big business, and RotoWire is considered one of the top companies grabbing market share by the balls (and to a lesser degree, pucks). It's considered one of the top sources in the industry for up-to-the-minute fantasy-relevant information. For just $39.99, you can subscribe to the site for a year's worth of expert fantasy analysis, such as this gem I saw on their mobile app.


Thanks to RotoWire, millions, perhaps billions, of fantasy owners flocked to the waiver wire and grabbed Kirk Cousins, the new starting QB for the Washington Redskins, beating out "Dragon" Grossman and actual Redskins starter/savior, Robert Griffin III.

Inspired by RotoWire's "industry leadership," TDZ is launching its own fantasy news service on a trial basis, free of charge! Click below to see my analysis following Week 1's slate of games.
