I was reading Joe Bryant’s Daily Email today and I discovered that Brett Favre is back to working out with the high school team again.

Joe made the comment along the lines of what a thrill is must be for the kids to be working out and practicing with a living legend – which I totally agree with.

But then it dawned on me. Perhaps Brett practices with them to re-charge his love-for-the-game batteries. He hangs out with kids who are – for the most part – playing because they just love playing, not because they are looking to get a bigger contract, live up to one or to earn a living. Maybe it gives him a nice dose of  “this is what it is all about.”

Hell, maybe that explains why it takes him until now to know whether he wants to give it another go. He has to get out on the field with the youngsters to get that youthful exuberance back (sorry for the big word). If it catches on with him, he’s in. If not, that’s when he will call it quits.

Just a thought.

What do you think?

BEFORE YOU GO, I wanted to tell you something. Not only do I love talking NFL and fantasy football but I love writing and playing music too. If you are a fan of music that make beer taste better (it’s true!), stop by PlanetCorey.com now and get $3 worth of music free.

One person I never envy in the fantasy league is the commissioner. Changing league rules, managers, hosting sites, etc. all have their challenges, but collecting league fees from friends and family scattered across the U.S. is a nightmare, and holding prize money until the end of the season is a scary liability. That’s where this new site – and Goat sponsor, WePay comes in.

WePay makes it super easy for commissioners to collect money online for fantasy football.

WePay is like a PayPal for groups: it allows you to collect money online (50¢ per payment) and securely store prize money until the end of the season. WePay will keep track of which teams have paid, and automatically remind those who haven’t. As teams jockey for position, they can monitor the prize money in your league’s FDIC-insured WePay account. Once the season ends, you can send winners money online or mail them paper checks.

WePay is the easiest way to collect league fees, and it’s free to sign up, so give it a try!

As a reader of this blog, most of you only know me as some guy who spouts off about fantasy football from time to time. But I bet you didn’t know I am a musician too?

Yep! I’ve been playing guitar, singing and writing songs for quite awhile now and I finally decided it was time to throw my hat in the music ring by writing and recording a 7 song CD called “Never Too Late”.

You can check out every song by stopping by the music page on my site PlanetCorey.com.

Better yet, can get 3 of my downloads, each with a personal introduction, for free by visiting my fanlist signup page now.

Feel free to let me know what you think, all I ask is that you are completely honest. You can either put your thoughts in the comments below, on my artist site, your blog OR if you have a site or social media profile (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc), you could share and post it there.

Anyway, go grab your tunes now. I’m excited to hear what you think.

Holy %#@&! Where did the season go? I can’t believe its December already. For most of you, your leagues playoffs are coming up next week and for some of you, this might be the week. At any rate, good luck to ya!

Here are a few players you can rely on this week and one that I would hold off on.

Start em if you got em…

Rashard Mendenhall RB (PIT) - Oakland comes to town with both the 31st ranked rushing defense and the most rushing touchdowns allowed in the league. Combine that with the fact that the Steelers may want to concentrate on keep Big Ben upright and you have yourself a back who should get plenty of opportunities to put up some fantasy points. 125+ yards and 2 touchdowns doesn’t sound to bad.

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to this weeks picks. You and I are both getting closer and closer to the big payoff at the end of a successful season. So it is important to dot our i’s and cross our t’s. Make sure that we put in the right guys and keep out the wrong ones.

Anyway, I’m gonna make this one short cuz I can smell that turkey cookin and I’m getting really hungry. I’ve be saving every square inch of my stomach for what is about to take place. I love Thanksgiving!

Here’s your picks!

Start em if you got em…

Justin Forsett RB (SEA) - Last week I had him as a sleeper and he delivered. This week he should go straight into your line-up as a solid RB2. The Rams are a surprising 13th against the run but Seattle will be using him extensively in the passing game. He will get over 100 all purpose yards, 5 + catches and 1 or more touchdowns.
