For you history buffs, we will archive every article penned by the Shark Team in 2004. As each week is finished, we will move the content to this page so you can reminisce about the good old days ... like week 1.
Happy New Year! The season is over so the articles take a turn down football lane and do some prognostication and then strive for some football insight. Don't forget to participate in our Playoff Contests.

Week 17 is in the books; I hope everyone had a good end to the regular season. I’m going to take this chance to look a little at the playoffs from a “defense” perspective.
Join Ed Berliner and Doug Coutts tonight (Thursday, January 6) LIVE at 10pm Eastern on Comcast Cable CN8's Sports Pulse where they chat fantasy football. This is a show you won't want to miss as we're probably closing things out for the season. El Gato Grande is scheduled to make an appearance, the coveted FFL! FFL! FFL! Al Del Greco Trophy will be presented, and we'll discuss some of the past year's busts, bargains, and your New England Patriots. Only here at FantasySharks.com and on Comcast New England. To watch over the web click here.
The playoffs are about to begin!! This list will include a handful of players at each skill position that has either a very favorable matchup or a matchup to avoid each week in the playoffs. May those players you selected for your fantasy playoff pools appear frequently on the steamy side while those you avoided stay frigid throughout the post-season.
Week 17 Greg Allen, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Jan 5, 2005
We started with 18 runningbacks, and 16 weeks of voting and now we are down to just two. Who will be the Ultimate Fantasy Runningback?
It's time for the BetBot's annual award show, featuring comments from the fantasyshark.com community!
Week 17 Jason Brichta, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Jan 3, 2005
Each day we scramble to find stories about our favorite teams, how our fantasy players did, and what we need to win in another week. Sometimes we get so caught up in everything that we forget about what is really important, like a natural disaster that claims the lives of 165,000 people we probably never knew.
Happy New Year to everyone!! The 2004 NFL Regular Season comes to a close but that doesn't mean that we're closing things down here at fantasysharks.com since we'll be riding this thing right thru the Super Bowl. As for this week, some teams finished the season with class and dignity, while others, well, didn't. Say what you want about baseball, but you'd never see a team mail in a game if their opponent was still in the playoff chase.
With the off-season soon to be upon us, we are all starting to think of how we are going to get our football fix during the long months. Well, here’s your chance…
I’m a poor man, got creamed last week.Didn’t write an article, so I didn’t embarrass myself, but still, Green Bay getting smoked at home by the Vikings?Come on.That game killed me.
Playoffs? Well, despite warnings that he's done for the season, the BetBot couldn't keep his mouth shut for more than 10 days. He breaks out some playoff predictions and explains the dangers of Banker's Club.
What a crazy week!Three road teams won and I went 2-2.This prognostication stuff is just so dangerous.No matter what you say, it gets crystallized in black and white and it cannot be taken away.

Week one of the playoffs is now in the books and what an upside down weekend it was as the dogs ruled the day. I really can't stand it when coaches don't go for the touchdown when they are moving the ball so easily, instead settling for a long field goal attempt by a rookie in poor weather conditions. I guess that's why I'm here writing re-caps instead of making the big bucks.
Did Vinnie hit it big or what last weekend? Two for two in the divisional playoff games. Let's go for the same this weekend during the conference championships!
The weather outside may be frightful, but there's one robot ready to light a fire under this weekend. Where do Amish culture, George Patton, Harry Hamlin, and Showgirls come together? Only in the mind of a sick, sick machine.

The week that was last made the point of my previous article.Home field advantage seems more and more important this time of year.There was a complete sweep for the home teams last week.They came in at 4-0.
Two weeks ago on Comcast New England Cable CN8' show Sports Pulse, we made our final appearance of the season. We looked back on some of the year's busts and bargains, but more importantly El Gato Grande was in studio, along with the coveted Al Del Greco FFL! FFL! FFL! League Trophy! For those of you still dedicated to reading our site, you'll be rewarded handsomely as within this article will be the most important winning strategy that anyone can give out anywhere.
Since it hasn’t already gotten enough press, let’s discuss Randy Moss. He is the definition of quandary. He is the reason they can win a championship, and also the reason they won’t. He is not a team player, and his incredible skills will never be tapped completely because he won’t allow it.
Only two more weeks of football remain, while on one hand that is very sad, on the other, we're about to crown another Superbowl Champion in three weeks....the Eagles put to rest any doubts of them having rested the last month or so.....and the Steelers game will either serve as their wakeup call and they will storm to the bastille in Jacksonville, or else they have been exposed as a fraudulent top seed in the AFC.
Congratulations to all the member Champions in our shark leagues. You're all guaranteed a move up to the next level next season. We thank you for your support and hope you enjoyed the leagues and the format...
The contests are over and we have our winners! KeithE barely holds off ricesue to win the Pick 'Em Contest . Our own Pat Smith did the best but staffers aren't allowed to win (Sorry Pat!). ojdidit edged out BigPete to win the Swim Contest. Again, thanks to all that participated. Look for our Playoff version of the Swim Contest to be out shortly!
Let’s finish the season with a bang! Thanks all for visiting my column, and perhaps, next year we can get some discussions going on my play selections… If you’ve followed me, you’re up for the year, and as someone told me last week in Texas – "I’m never betting against you again" – although that was all about business…

The Last Row goes to the Super Bowl, and watches their team lose. On top of this, we suffer through Omen IV, and get treated to the type of Southern hospitality reserved for Northerners.
Congratulations to gantnege for answering 24/30 questions correctly and winning the double tie break to decide it. A FantasySharks.com T is yours for the trouble. Thanks for playing everyone.
There's nothing like a great Super Bowl game to put an exclamation point on what has been a fine season. I'm not sure which is more stunning, New England winning their third championship in four years, Terrell Owens not only playing but playing very effectively, or the ugliness of this year's championship hat. Did I miss the memo that brown was 'in'?
Want to know who the Progno is predicting will win Super Bowl XXXIX? Want to know how your team will do? Come one, come all for the final 2004 Progno...
