Fantasy Football Dos And Don'ts Week 7
Ladies and gentlemen, the return of Aaron Rodgers.
DO Bow Down Before Aaron Rodgers Once Again
Image by Patric Schneider / AP
Remember when people were talking about how disappointing Aaron Rodgers has been in 2012? HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I mean, look no further than the fact that the fantasy-football-playing public was turning on a dude after he had two 10-point-or-lower outings as proof that people have no patience or sense of proportion. Three weeks later, Rodgers is on a string of 24-plus games and that 38-point monster last week, and his stats for the year are preposterous: 16 TDs, 4 INTs, 273 yards per game. This knowledge probably doesn't have a ton of impact on your fantasy life — if you have Rodgers, start him; if you're playing against Rodgers, most priests are happy to apply last rites — but it is a lesson: don't freak out if a stud player has a couple of down games. These guys are human.
DON'T Give Up On Cam Newton And Matt Stafford... Yet
Image by Michael Perez / AP
In ESPN fantasy leagues, Matt Stafford and Cam Newton were the fourth and fifth quarterbacks picked overall, on average, which put them as teams' second-round selections. There's a certain amount of pressure that comes with that high of a draft spot: the big contracts, the media attention, the cars, the drugs, the girls. (We're talking about fantasy football, right?) And so far in 2012, Stafford and Newton have not built on their fantastic 2011s. Stafford's the 16th-scoring QB, and Newton's the 13th — they both trail guys like Christian Ponder (in most leagues, he wasn't even drafted!) and Andy Dalton (19th QB off the boards.)
However, there's reason to keep hope. Stafford hasn't played well, and it would be foolish to suggest otherwise — he hasn't thrown more than one score in any game yet this year — but his DYAR, a Football Outsiders metric that tracks how many yards better a quarterback is than a replacement-level player, and also adjusts for the strengths of various defenses, is actually 9th-best in the league. That's because he's faced a brutal slate of defenses. And he has been putting up the yards, so the touchdowns will hopefully follow soon. Err on the side of caution with Stafford this week against Chicago and next week against Seattle, but expect to regret it if you drop him.
Cam's case is a little less clear-cut. Newton's problem is consistency, not potency: in his last four games, he's put up 25, 9, 30, and 7. And while he predictably lit up New Orleans and struggled against Seattle and New York, it makes less sense that he went for 30 against the Falcons. Any week, Newton's capable of dropping 25-plus; you just have to be wary of those off-weeks, and he isn't matchup-immune.

Joe Biden: Badass Donut Carrier
The VP delivered “Boxes of Joe” and donuts to an Obama field office in Orlando on Saturday. “This is what you call interfering with productivity.”

Here's the pool report from Biden's visit
VPOTUS dropped in on an Obama/Biden campaign field office at 516 East Colonial Ave in Orlando. It was on the second floor, a warren of small rooms with tables of volunteers making phone calls. Lots of signs on the walls: Hispanics for Obama, LGBT for Obama, Women for Obama. Per the campaign, this field office is regional hq for East Central Florida and a hub for reaching out to the growing Hispanic population in the area. It has been open for more than a year.
VPOTUS and his daughter, Ashley Biden, arrived with large brown “Boxes of Joe’’ from Dunkin Donuts. In addition, VPOTUS carried a large white bag of donuts.
As VPOTUS entered, people applauded, and he told the room, “This is what you call interfering with productivity.’’
“We wanted to come to the epicenter of the epicenter, man,’’ he continued. “Forida, you guys produce, we win Florida, we win Florida, this is all history, man.
“Thank you so much, thank you so much for what you’re doing,’’ he continued. “Barak and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate, for real.’’
“I’ll tell you what, I’m feeling good,’’ he said.
“From here we’re going to, where am I going? I’m going to Ohio. Back to Ohio. I’ve been living in Ohio. We’re going to win Ohio.’’
The volunteers cheered and applauded.
“Now you guys push Florida over, this thing becomes not close,’’ VPOTUS said.
“Thank you so much. I just wanted to come by say hi.’’
“I’m interrupting, like I said. Getting out there cavasisng, is that what people are doing today? Look it’s amazing, I actually wrote the numbers down.’’
He pulled a card out of his pocked and read statistics about the camaign’s field operation in the state.
“We’ve got 104 offices here,’’ he said. “You’ve alread done over 20,000, not countin this morning, phone banks. 20,000 statewide. 14,263 voter registrations. You guys are amazing. Really. Look. The reason we’re going to win, I mean this sincerely, the reason were going to win is because of you.’’
“The single most signifcant thing we can do to counter the incredible money they have and these godawful super Pacs is you,’’ he said. “It’s the only counter.’’
VPOTUS removed his blazer and folded it. A volunteer seated in front of him took it for him.
“Thank you,’’ VPOTUS told her. He rolled up the sleeves of his blue-striped dress shirt.
“But seriously,’’ he continued, telling volunteers that to counter “those scurrilous ads you’ve seen from one of their super PACS” is to have “you folks knocking on the door. Seriosly, it’s one of your folks knocking on the door and saying look I vouch for these guys.’’
“I come from a state where you campaign door to door,’’ he said. “It matters. The thing that matters the most, when you show up at the door you’re not just asking vote for us, you’re vouching for us. That’s the thing I want to thank you most for. The hardest thing for a man or woman to do in my opinion is to associeate themselves, to say I vouch for you.’’
VPOTUS hugged a young woman who was smiling at him, Marissa Priceman, 17. She started to cry.
“Thank you,’’ she said through her tears.
“The reason we win this elecection is we have the best ground game in the history of presidential politics,’’ VPOTUS went on.
The volunteers and staff applauded.
“I tell you what,’’ VPOTUS said. “We’ve got a lot of press here. I wanted them to see you guys.’’ (Press included just CNN and CBS embeds and your pooler). “But one of the thing is, you guys deserve answers to questions. Things you may have in your mind. So I tell you what, if we can, I don’t know if I’im allowed to do this, ask the press to go eat some donuts.’’
“By the way, these guys have been great,’’ he added, meaning the press. “They’ve picked up every mistake we’ve all made.’’
The room laughed.
“Of course you know I never make any mistakes,’’ VPOTUS said.
At that point pooler was escorted out. He was not offered a donut.
VPOTUS stayed in the field office for about 30 more minutes.

What Happens When Kristin Cavallari Judges A Costume Contest?
The former reality TV star now has a baby, a fiancé, and, apparently, a thing for bright green Spandex.
About two dozen reporters and photographers huddled in the middle of the 17,000-square-foot Spirit Halloween store in Manhattan on Thursday. We were all there because Kristin Cavallari, of mid-2000's reality TV staples Laguna Beach and The Hills, would be there judging a costume contest.
I've probably seen every episode of Laguna Beach, and maybe half of The Hills; since I was in high school around that time, I identified with the shows in some small but strong way (even if I tended to spend less time planning hotel parties and more time trying to find clever ways to beat the Elite Four in Pokémon Silver). I was excited to see Kristin as she was now, years older and seemingly done with that phase of her life.
When I asked her if she felt different from the person she was on Laguna Beach and The Hills, she said she didn't. "I'm still me," she said. "I'm just an older, more mature version of myself. Where my life is heading is in such a great place, and I couldn't be happier. Having a baby is just so much fun."
A bloodcurdling shriek rang out across the room, followed immediately by nervous laughter. It was a Halloween store, after all, and sometimes things jump out at you.
"Sorry, people who's behind me!" a photographer in a backwards baseball cap shouted, only half-joking. "I don't give a shit! I shoot like THIS!" He hoisted his gigantic camera over his head and flailed it around for effect. I was reminded of the iconic "I'm not here to make friends!" line made popular by every reality show since the genre was invented. (Except, maybe, for Laguna Beach.)
Kristin had arrived with her publicist and a bodyguard. She was beautiful, in the shockingly normal way that somebody you work next to or do yoga with is beautiful. She was also tiny, especially considering that she gave birth in August. Her son with fiancé Jay Cutler is named Camden. He's going to be a lion this Halloween, "because he's a Leo," Kristin said, although she and Jay don't plan on dressing up.
