The History of Fantasy Sports: And the Stories of the People Who Made It Happen
This isn’t a dry textbook, it’s an entertaining narrative for lifelong fantasy players and anyone fascinated by sports, business, technology, and pop culture. Praised as “simply fascinating from start to finish” by Midwest Book Review.
Highlights include:
• The real origin of fantasy baseball (no, it didn’t happen on an airplane!)
• How a World War II hero helped spread fantasy football across the country
• Five nuns in a Chicago convent co-managing a fantasy football team
• A dedicated player with ALS finally winning his league after 39 years
• The surprising role Monica Lewinsky played in saving fantasy sports
• And dozens more stories of obsession, innovation, and underdog success.
"Despite spending my entire career in the industry, I was enlightened by all the interviews and countless stories throughout the book."
— Paul Charchian, Former President, Fantasy Sports Trade Association (2009–2020)
Winning Fantasy Baseball: Secret Strategies of a Nine-Time National Champion
The 2014 Amazon bestseller is still relevant for how to value players, maximize your rosters value for snake drafts, auctions, and salary cap formats...as well as projecting player performance, in-season management, and more. Many concepts also apply to fantasy football and other fantasy sports.
"It's all about winning, and all Larry Schechter does is win. This book is an absolute, 100% must-read." - Ron Shandler, author of the Baseball Forecaster and founder of Baseball HQ

We are at the halfway point of the NFL season.
This week feels like a Week 18 slate with all of the backups in.
Going through it all here...

#BUFvsMIN officiating crew cheat sheet
HOME UNDERDOGS are 30-19-3 ATS (60%) w' referee Carl Cheffers over the past decade
That includes a 3-1 ATS record for home dogs in 2026, w' all three winning games outright
The #Vikings are 4-0 @usbankstadium w' Cheffers officiating
MNF is a contrast in playing style, & also from a penalty perspective
Minnesota the FEWEST penalties per game
Buffalo ranks third in p.p.g avg
The #Bills offense a top 3 BENEFICIARY of AUTOMATIC 1st DOWNS via penalty
Vikings DEFENSE surrendering the FEWEST AUTOMATIC 1st DOWNS via penalty
The Bills offense rank as the No.1 BENEFICIARY of DEFENSIVE HOLDING
The Vikings DEFENSE has yet to commit a DEFENSIVE HOLDING penalty in 2026
The Buffalo DEFENSE top 3 surrendering AUTO 1st downs
However, @Vikings OFFENSE has been uncharacteristically anemic as a beneficiary of AUTO 1st downs in 2026, ranking in bottom five
To put that in perspective, since KOC arrived in Minnesota, no offense has generated more beneficial penalties than the Vikings from 2022/2025
That isn't the case in 2026, w the offense having no rhythm whatsoever = less beneficial penalties
Carl Cheffers' crew rank top 5 awarding AUTOMATIC 1st DOWNS via penalty
Cheffers ranks No.1 for ILLEGAL CONTACT penalties
The @BuffaloBills a TOP 10 penalized team for OFFENSIVE HOLDING
The #Vikings DEFENSE a top 5 unit at generating OFF-HOLD on opposing offenses
However, Cheffers' crew currently awarding the FEWEST OFF-HOLD penalties in the #NFL
Those are some key areas of focus & ill be interested to see how its called on Monday night
I think this is a buy-low spot for a Vikings team off a loss
Minnesota will benefit from one of the best home field advantages & the numbers w' Cheffers in charge are a bonus
Bottom line is one of these teams will hit the midway point of season w' a 7-1 record
Who that is remains to be seen, but i think it will be extremely close & like the #Vikings +3.5 pts on #MNF
#BillsMafia #Skol

#HOUvsLAC officiating crew cheat sheet
HOME teams are 1-6 SU & ATS w' referee Alex Moore in 2026
Moore officiated contests are 5-1-1 UNDER the total
OFFENSIVE HOLDING +FALSE STARTS account for 40% of penalties assessed in the NFL this season
However, Alex Moore's crew are assessing 43% of overall penalties via these two categories, ranking No.2 for OFFENSIVE HOLDING penalties per game
This looms as an issue for the @chargers , w' OFF-HOLD/FALSE STARTS accounting for a league leading 55% of their penalties
#Chargers rank as a TOP 10 penalized team for PRE-SNAP infractions, primarily via FALSE START (No.2 in #NFL)
The #Texans & Bolts both rank top 5 most penalized for OFFENSIVE HOLDING
Its the second game for Houston w' Alex Moore in 2026, the previous a Week 1 home loss vs Buffalo
This is a get-right spot for Houston off a bye & at a venue that will be a neutral site on Sunday
Houston has a manageable schedule ahead but it means nothing if they lose in LA & their season is done at 2-6
This marks the third consecutive season these teams have met, w' Houston winning the previous two contests
I like 'em to make it three straight on Sunday, & like the @HoustonTexans -4.5 pts in this game

The Sharp Football family & mock draft community lost a dear friend recently.
I am sad to share Brendan Donahue passed away.
Brendan was an elite mock draft expert, ranking #1 in 5-year accuracy between 2016-2024.
More than his accolades, Brendan was a valued member of our team, a son, a brother, an uncle and a great friend.
He will be dearly missed.

Week 8, 2026 has recorded 50 FALSE START penalties
That represents the MOST penalties in this category of any #NFL week over the past decade, w' one one game still remaining #CHIvsSEA
The next closest was Week 4, 2016, w' a total of 49 FALSE START penalties assessed over the course of a full 16 game schedule vs just 13 this week
Using per game avgs, the top 3 highest penalized weeks for FALSE START since 2016
Week 8,2026 - 3.84
Week 4, 2016 - 3.28
Week 5, 2024 - 3.08
The top enforcers of the penalty category this week
1. Adrian Hill
2. Ron Torbert
3. Brad Rogers

Good luck explaining causality to the guy who just learned what “percent” means.
Cowboys are 49-6 with Dak when the run it at least 50% of the time on early downs.

I can't stay this hot all year, but I'm seeing it well so far, going 9-1 on my sides and totals picks for @SharpFBAnalysis. Check out this week's picks.

Only one NFL weekend since the start of the 2010 #NFL season has recorded a higher penalty per game average than what we've seen in Week 4, 2026
That was Week 2, 2015 , averaging 18.6 penalties per game
We currently have an avg of 17 penalties per game this week, so unless #ATLvsNO on MNF has 40+ penalties to increase the overall avg, the 2015 record will remain at the top of this list
