Welcome to the first edition of NYFWC’s weekly NFL power rankings (ya, ya, it is eight weeks into the season, we know).
We’ve all done power rankings before, so I’ll try not to bore you too much before getting into the teams.What I will point out is that my rankings are my own, and do [...]
What’s that phrase again? The rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
With five weeks completed, the NYFWC fantasy league might as well be split into two competitions; the fight between the two contenders to win it all and the fight between everyone else to make the playoffs (and thereby have some [...]
You may remember a piece Thomas wrote a few weeks back about his first fantasy football experience.
At some point in the last few weeks, during the 37th commercial break of the first game of the day, you may have put down your lukewarm beer for a second, stroked your chin stubble and thought to [...]
Our editors look at the newest wave of unnecessary Facebook updates and what it means to us.

Welcome to Not Your Father’s Water Cooler!
You know those mind-numbing water cooler discussions about weather, pets and weekend activities? That soul-crushing small talk would be far less demoralizing if it included something you actually cared about.
Founded by two hoops addicts, NYFWC brings you the kind of water cooler chatter we dreamed of: a dialogue centered on hypothetical trades, basketball debates and of course, humor.
You'll also notice that from time to time we touch on other subjects. Whether it's films, music or pop culture, at NYFWC our goal is not merely to regurgitate information that is already flooding the tubes. Instead, we hope to provide thoughtful individual perspectives on the most important, interesting and entertaining topics of the day.
