NEW YORK (AP) — Don Henley said Monday that he never gave away handwritten pages of draft lyrics to “Hotel California” and other Eagles hits, calling them “very personal” in testimony that also delved into an ugly but unrelated episode: his 1980 arrest. Henley, the Grammy-winning co-founder of one of the most successful bands in rock history, is prosecutors’ star witness in an unusual criminal trial surrounding the lyrics sheets. Henley says they were stolen decades ago from his barn… Source link

In the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, Scott Pianowski and Frank Schwab discuss which San Francisco 49ers player they are targeting in Fantasy drafts in 2023, and debate how to draft second and third wide receivers on top offenses next season. Video Transcript [SPORTS SOUND EFFECTS] SCOTT PIANOWSKI: Let me ask you this. Who do you think– and I realized there’s uncertainty at quarterback. So let’s just ignore drafting a quarterback on the 49ers. Just assume they get somebody competent in… Source link

Special to Yahoo Sports It’s still early and most fantasy hockey drafts probably haven’t occurred, but we can still learn a great deal from average draft positions. There are plenty of players who are being overrated by fantasy managers according to their average draft position. Avoiding taking players too early and tempering expectations will save you some headaches once the season starts. It will also allow for much better roster construction.

Excellent work drafting this year’s fantasy teams, everyone. Absolutely stellar team-building. Each of your lineups is basically a work of art, thoughtfully and lovingly crafted — an expression of the boldest and most audacious ideas at the leading edge of modern fantasy theory. Well done, all of you. Let’s try not to focus on your automated draft grades just now, but instead appreciate the limitless potential of each of your fine fantasy squads. Truly remarkable roster construction. Every… Source link

Maybe Kelce qualifies more as an over-valued fantasy player than the harshly termed “bust,” but he’ll soon be 33 years old and is clearly in the decline phase of his career — yet being drafted as a top-20 pick. Kelce’s yards per route run have decreased nearly 20 percent over the last three seasons with Tyreek Hill off the field, and Kansas City added JuJu Smith-Schuster to play the slot during the offseason. Kelce is being drafted higher than Mark Andrews, who’s six years… Source link

I understand that fantasy football is generally a young-man’s game on the field, and we like to engage possible breakout players and the hot new rookies. But sometimes a boring but reliable veteran player is a preferred fantasy jam, and today I want to offer five of those boring but useful vets for you to consider on draft day. Why he’s boring: He’s entering his age-32 season, and he’s clearly the second-most talented receiver on his own team (Justin Jefferson’s upside is the moon)…. Source link

Druw Jones’ MLB career is off to a tough start. The Arizona Diamondbacks rookie selected with the No. 2 pick in last week’s draft sustained a shoulder injury in Arizona on Tuesday during his first practice session as a pro. Diamondbacks farm director Josh Barfield confirmed the news to the Arizona Republic. Jones suffered the injury while taking batting practice. “He was just taking (batting practice) and took a regular round of BP and felt something in his shoulder on his second-to-last… Source link

[Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] Much was expected from Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones and Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders back in 2021. Their ADPs differed — Jones was a first-round draft pick, while Sanders was to be had in the early middle rounds — but each was expected to deliver sound fantasy production last season. Jones was a solid option after the top RBs and WRs were selected in the first round. Sanders was one of the last… Source link

It’s the second week of February. We don’t even have an NFL champion yet. But fantasy football discussion is a year-long pursuit. Today’s assignment is to look at name-brand players who were previously first-rounders but likely to move out of that exclusive club next season. The arrow is moving in the wrong direction. Heck, in some cases, maybe the cheese has gone bad. Everything here is written in pencil, of course. Although I am a staunch advocate that high-volume Best Ball drafting is… Source link
