Fantasy football guru Todd Prinz with another edition of Let 'em Shine or Ride the Pine:
Let me start off by apologizing to anyone if they benched Vincent Jackson in week 3. I'm sorry. The first week of this column, I was spot on that Randy Moss would struggle against the Jets and Darrelle Revis. I got cocky. Thought I knew everything. Well nothing humbles you like a 6'5" wide out with 4.38 speed. The lesson has been learned. Ne...

I've been a sports broadcaster for about a decade now and the business is definitely changing. There used to be the day when all I had to do was worry about what to air on the 6:00 and 11:00 news. Then about 5 years ago blogging really took off. I was a little hesitant at first. I thought there's no way with all my job duties I would have time to blog. But as you can see I've pretty much gotten the hang of it.

Thursday night will be like none other for former UofL basketball players Terrence Williams and Earl Clark. It's NBA Draft night and although they're like night and day, they'll share a common bond.

But on Thursday night the two basketball talents who hai...
