Much like when large-and-in-charge fantasy 'expert' Michael Harmon sits on the toilet, he's seen fit to expel some more columns in our general direction which bring the noise and nasty aroma but nothing of substance.
Remember when I pondered what he'd call any QBs who weren't in the 'top 15' nor 'sleepers' (such as Chad Pennington and Matt Schaub)? Well, according to this article, they're flops. But just to hedge his bets, he threw a few of his 'stars' in there too, such as #11 Mike Vick and #13 Tony Romo. Why? Probably so he's large butt is covered no matter what happens this season. Then he can go to FoxSports.com, point to his 'prediction' and ask for a raise. When he doesn't get it, he'll end up somewhere else, like CBS Sportsline.
Want further proof? Check out what he did during a recent 'experts' draft here. Scan on down to his first pick of the 12th round. Yes, you read that right: HE TOOK COREY DILLON!!! Why didn't he just totally throw the pick away and take Ricky Williams "just in case". I hope his fellow 'experts' mocked him mercilessly. If they didn't, they're no more 'expert' than he is.

Stop the presses: someone more negative than me!
Gregg Rosenthal over at NBCSports.com's Fantasy site has one of the most negative reviews I've seen and I love him for it. Click here for his take on Trent Green going to Miami.
Me? I was already to pull the trigger on the standard "worth a flyer in later rounds of leagues with 12 or more teams" but Gregg's made me see the light!

What will Michael Harmon write next?
He ranked the first 50% of QBs from 1 to 15.
He called the next batch 'sleepers'.
What will Michael Harmon do for an encore?
My guess is he'll take the QBs he has yet to mention (Schaub, Cutler, Grossman, etc.) and find SOMETHING positive to say about them (such as "worth a flyer in later rounds of drafts with teams of 12 or more").
Don't be mesmerized by his spin, though. He thinks they suck. What you should consider is what YOU think.

Deconstructing Michael Harmon Part 2
Maybe it's because I just got back from a 'beer tasting event' that one of my neighbors threw, but I just can't help but comment on FoxSports' Michael Harmon's latest article.
As you'll recall, he 'went out on a limb' and ranked the top 15 QBs (aka. "the top 50%") in an earlier article. Now he's basically calling the next 25% 'sleepers'. It's like he took a shotgun to a dartboard and any name he hit became a 'sleeper'. And what's more, he updated his top 15 QBs to list John Kitna, a 'sleeper', at #15!!!! How can he be both??!!!! Same question regarding McNabb, who's #6!!!
You want a TRUE sleeper? How about Chad Pennington? Both Laverneus Coles and Jericho Cotchery were in the top 30, according to Michael, and Thomas Jones is a top 30 RB. So what about Chad? The guy FINALLY has a season where he stays healthy and he's NOT even worthy of a 'sleeper' tag???
Mark it down RIGHT NOW: Chad Pennington - sleeper QB. To quote Bill Simmons, "By the way, I'm drunk again."
