Hey Peeps:
I'm sure most - if not all - of you know of Matt Waldman's work. He writes the Rookie Scouting Portfolio, where he breaks down skill position players both before the draft, and after, to help with your fantasy football teams. He writes a ton about football, and his RSP film rooms are tremendous. He was also kind enough to do a chat with us one draft season ago, which you can find here: Waldman Chat.
Monday kicks off another of his projects, the RSP Writers' Project. He assembles a team of football writers from around the football world and gives them a scenario. In the past years it was assembling a team from scratch, or adapting to real-life NFL front office dilemmas. This year's is right out of Independence Day, as an alien race has descended upon earth to take over the planet, but offers one chance for survival: A football game between their team and a human team comprised of coaches and players from any era - dead or alive. Writers have to assemble a team and coaching staff and defend their choices.
Matt was kind enough to invite me to participate, and my team will be posted Monday, first out of the gate. While this is technically a competition with a prize at the end, I'm not here trolling for votes, but thought it was a cool exercise and something fun to pass the six weeks until Training Camps start. Matt's writing in this as well, plus some other pretty good football writers, so all the teams should be fun to read. Here's the link to check these out: http://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2015/05/18/fourth-annual-rsp-writers-project-the-team-to-defend-the-planet/
Hope you guys find these enjoyable to read.
