Michael Nazarek, FF Mastermind

* Mike is the CEO and President of Fantasy Football Mastermind Inc.  He has 21 years fantasy experience including 16 fantasy championships in 10 different leagues and is a member of the Pro Football Writers of America. Most recently, he won the SOFA IDP Experts league in 2008, while finishing Runner-Up in the SOFA Classic Experts league, FFWebMasters 14-team Experts league, and the FanEx Online league.  His primary claim to fame is the fact that he won the SI.com Experts League title for FOUR CONSECUTIVE SEASONS (2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007).  SI.com retired the league after 2007 for unknown reasons, making Nazarek the ONLY winner of that league in the four years of its existance.  He finished Runner-Up in the FanEx Online league in 2007.  He finished Runner-Up in both the FFWebMasters 14-team Experts league and the FanEx Alpha league in 2006.  He won the FF Index Magazine Mock Draft Best Ball league by 15.5 games in 2005.  He and Chris Rito won the FanEx Overall Championship in 2004.  He's also won the the very tough 14-team FFWebMasters.com Experts Fantasy League (2003), a high stakes league title in the Fantasy Jungle (2003), the 1st annual Site Owners Fantasy Association (SOFA) Experts League (2000 & first runner-up in 2005) and the Showcase Re-Drafter Experts League (SRL-American - 1999). He led team FF Mastermind to league best records in SOFA and FFWebMasters.com Experts leagues in 2001. Mike has been a contributing author for many fantasy football magazines, including Fantasy Football Pro-Forecast, Power Ranking System Fantasy Football Report, and Fantasy Football Draftbook II as well as a periodic columnist for SI.com's Fantasy Central feature for five seasons. Mike's goal for FFMastermind.com Services has never wavered... to provide comprehensive fantasy football information via the Internet, while having fun in the process. Although he is married with no children, two dogs keep him quite busy at times. Look for his "First Thoughts" series of articles on the 2009 season to begin in early May.

Perry Burr - Exclusive Senior Staff Writer (Rookie & Auction Specialist)

Perry has been involved with fantasy football for 21 years, overseeing leagues, managing teams, and winning championships. Perry has won more than 20 fantasy titles in several league formats: keeper, dynasty, auction, and draft selection.  In addition to being the primary contributor to the FFMastermind.com Madness Rookie Draft Kit, Perry is our Rookie Specialist, Auction Specialist, and a major factor to the success of our Daily NFL Quick Bits feature.

 

John Holler - Exclusive Senior Staff Writer

John is a sports writer and sports talk radio host. He currently works for, among others, Viking Update – a website and monthly magazine devoted to the Minnesota Vikings. He is a beat writer who covers both the Vikings and the rest of the NFL for both the print and web publication. He also hosts a weekday sports talk show on 1390 The Fan Radio in St. Cloud, Minn. The show runs noon to 2 p.m. Central Time and can be accessed on-line at the 1390 The Fan website. He spent six years as staff writer for the St. Cloud (Minn.) Times, where he was both a sports and entertainment writer. He also does a weekly movie review radio show Mondays at 10:40 a.m. on WJON 1240-AM Radio. He has written one book “Minnesota Vikings Facts and Trivia” and was a contributing writer to two other books -–"War Stories From the Field” and “Hit and Tell: War Stories of the NFL’s Wildest Players” from Foghorn Press, San Francisco. John has written several magazine articles for regional and national magazines, including several in “SLAM” and “BLITZ” magazines out of New York and several college fan magazines under the FOX Sports banner. John is our NFL Tendencies Guru and also pens his weekly column “A Holler From the Cheap Seats” seen exclusively in the FFMastermind.com Weekly Newsletter, as well as regular off-season columns on free agency, the draft and contributes articles and analysis for our annual pre-season guide. John plays “officially” in just one fantasy league – which he routinely dominates because he never strays from his list of best available players and has gained a reputation for putting together blockbuster trades of his mid-round talent for one stud that annually makes him feared among his veteran leaguemates. He has won his championship four of the last six years (including 2007) and has led his league in scoring five years running.

John Dietz - Senior Staff Writer

John is a sports copy editor/writer for the 145,000-circulation Daily Herald newspaper in suburban Chicago. He has been playing fantasy football since 1994 and writing a weekly column for the paper since 1999. John has also been a weekly guest on the Score (WSCR 670-AM) for the past five seasons and last year co-hosted the station’s Sunday morning show, Fantasy Football Today. He has won 8 titles in two leagues over the past nine seasons and has qualified for the playoffs in his salary-cap league for 8 straight years, compiling a 70-32-2 regular-season record and 13-4 postseason record over that stretch. He loves the salary-cap league concept, especially the way his league is designed with a keeper aspect that allows those with an eye for talent to dominate by drafting players on the cheap before they become stars. John covered Super Bowl XLI when the Bears lost to the Colts. He also wrote a three-part series in April 2007 on the demise of the Chicago Blackhawks that won first place in the prestigious Peter Lisagor Awards. The piece beat out finalists from the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times. John is married with a 6-year-old son, Connor, who loves to play The Tackle Game (mostly plowing into his dad) on Sundays during the football season.

* What is Fantasy Football?  3/3/2009 (Re-Release)

 

Tony Ambrosini - Exclusive Staff Writer

Tony has been playing fantasy football for 17 years and is currently commissioner of the Blood, Sweat, and Beers Fantasy Football League, which is about to go into its eleventh year. He has won three titles in two re-draft leagues since 2002, including two league championships in 2004. Tony also creates his own statistical projections prior to every season and will occasionally use some unconventional methods of choosing weekly starting lineups, such as incorporating NFL handicapping aspects. He is an electrical engineer by degree, but holds a sales position for an electronic components and systems manufacturer's rep firm in the Philadelphia area, where he is consistently ridiculed for being a New York Giants fan (even after they won the Super Bowl). Tony enjoys following the NFL off-season just as much as the regular season and playoffs, but still devotes plenty of time to his wife Jo, new baby James, and pet beagle Lily.

Gil Brovar - Exclusive Staff Writer

Dr. Gil Brovar is a physician practicing in New England but originally is from NYC.  He has been an active fantasy football and baseball player for many seasons and has won numerous championships.  One of his areas of expertise is drafting in leagues that start 2 QBs.  As an avid New York sports fan, living in New England is a challenge as he is tortured by constant ridicule from New England fans that have not yet learned that when you win something you should act like you have been there before!

Brent Lathrop - Exclusive Staff Writer

You won't find many, if any, guys that have played fantasy football longer than Brent Lathrop. He started playing in 1990 in a six-team, touchdown only league that has turned into a keeper league. He's a fantasy fanatic, but isn't one of those guys that joins 15-leagues every season. He likes to keep it simple and concentrate on the 3-4 leagues he's in, including a dynasty league. A Rams fan since their days in L.A., Brent enjoys watching Steven Jackson run over defenders and Torry Holt catch balls with ease and grace. To Brent the NFL is the ultimate sport and loves nothing more than sitting in front of several T.V.'s on a Sunday afternoon.  Brent is our Keeper Korner Dynasty league specialist!

 

Matt Rader - Exclusive Staff Writer

Matt grew up eating, sleeping, and breathing football on the dusty fields of Oklahoma and being fed a steady diet of Denver Bronco fandom by his Dad. Under the hot Friday night lights he became an Oklahoma All-State offensive tackle and went on to play Division I college ball at Cornell University. Having logged 10 years as a lineman, he brings a new and unique perspective to the game of fantasy football, by writing "Inside the Lines". This piece details the offensive lines of every NFL team and predicts the success of a teams running game based on the strength or weakness of a team's line. In 15 years of fantasy football, Matt has won 17 fantasy football titles in various league formats: IDP, limited keeper, dynasty,auction, college football, and runs his company's fantasy leagues. 2007 was a solid year taking 3 titles, but the most coveted was a return to his companies and self created 16 team master league. It marked 3 out of 4 years that he won the crown.  Matt's fantasy knowledge sans all sports as he is an Uber Fantasy player on ESPN and finished 468th in the entire ESPN fantasy world last year. He was invited to join the American Patriots Uber group which is in the top 10 of all ESPN Uber Fantasy groups. Matt is a brand manager for the Intuition Razor franchise. Matt and his wife Susan are the proud parents of Madeline Sage (4.5 years old) and Jackson Thomas (2 year). Matt lives in Monroe, Connecticut so drop him a line if you are in the area and want to dish on some football (I'll pay).

Eddie Rex - Exclusive Staff Writer

Eddie Rex is a complex guy. The pseudonym masks a longtime radio journalist and former sports editor who has a dirty little secret -- an addiction to fantasy football. And in particular, an addiction to making late-round picks that prompt league ridicule AND a high winning percentage. He has flirted with Joe Montana's wife, got Jerry Rice to pose in the nude and kissed Willie Mays on the top of his stubbly head -- and yes, one of those three things is a lie.

Chris Rito - Exclusive Staff Writer & Scout

Chris is a pharmaceutical research scientist by day and a complete sportsaholic and fantasy football junkie by night...and actually most of the day, too. He is happily married to a beautiful FFL newbie who patiently tolerates his obsession. He is occupied in his "free time" by six kids who all enjoy watching the games with Daddy, and who all hope to be FFLers some day! Chris is probably best known in fantasy football circles as the fearless prognosticator on the fortunes of the Indianapolis Colts for FFMastermind. He also is a member of the Pro Football Writers of America and the FanEx experts' league, and serves on FanEx's Executive Committee; in fact, Chris teams with FFMastermind 's Mike Nazarek in FanEx where they together won the 2004 overall championship (finishing 13-4) and have made the finals in 3 out of the last 4 seasons. He is in his 16th year of playing fantasy football (usually playing in 5-6 leagues each season), and his 14th serving as commissioner of several local and national leagues. Known in some circles as "Da Commish", his lifetime records include twelve fantasy championships, many more championship appearances, and a career .642 (443-246-1) winning percentage with only five sub-.500 seasons ever.

Steve Yerger - Exclusive Staff Writer & IDP Specialist

Steve resides in Hershey, Pennsylvania with his new bride Lisa, a 15 year old son and a 4 month old son. In the real world, Steve is an accountant for the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and is dreading his upcoming big 4-0 birthday this summer. He began playing fantasy football while deployed to Bosnia in 1998. He quickly became hooked and expanded into many different league types; IDP, dynasty, auction, etc. IDP leagues became a personal favorite by 2002, as he focused his efforts on learning all there was to know about IDP. These efforts quickly bore fruit, as he became a nationally published fantasy football writer and has contributed IDP content to several fantasy football sites. 2009 will be his first official season writing for FF Mastermind, and he is excited about getting to know the Mastermind community.
