Aussie comes out of nowhere to hit NFL big time
David King, a journeyman footballer sharing name with a North Melbourne premiership has ended up signing a contract as punter with American football giant, the New England Patriots. He has ended up signing a one year deal which could be as much as $320,000. He has been pursuing his NFL kicking dream since late 2008. He states that he will be learning about American football over the next few weeks.

In an interview with ESPN, David King said:

It's a learning process for myself and hopefully over the next few weeks I can make a good impression and manage to stick around.

David King will inspire more Australians to follow the American game. He was confused with former Kangaroos half back David King, who played in North Melbourne's 1996 and 1999 flag winning outfits but today he is a known face.

In your fantasy football draft, go with experience over promise End Zone Buzz

Some fantasy owners will be thrilled to get the second-year running back, who ran for 941 yards and scored 16 total touchdowns in 2006. These owners are likely the inexperienced ones; those who will draft teams that look good on paper but won't look so good come playoff time. Then, there [...] Read More


The Dangers of Draft N The Wireless Weblog

Techworld's Peter Judge today notes that while the Wi-Fi Alliance is issuing brands and logos for Draft N equipment, "it is not testing the most controversial part of the specifications -- whether the new Wi-Fi kit will cripple existing 802.11g networks." "The 802.11n standard from the IEEE standard group will improve Wi-Fi performance to 100 Mbit/s or even 200 Mbit/s, but part of this improvement comes from using 40 MHz radio [...] Read More

Jason Moultrie: The English Premier League's fantasy football champ

Filed in archive Fantasy Football on March 30, 2010

Jason Moultrie: The English Premier League's fantasy football champ
© Jas&Suz
This guy defeated two million contenders to be crowned as English Premier League's fantasy football champion. He is Jason Moultrie, a geologist from Mackay, Queensland. This is second time in a row that an Australian has won the competition. For his efforts Jason won a trip to London along with his friend Duncan Thomson for watching Chelsea take on Aston Villa.

He was introduced to the game through his friend Duncan Thomson whom he saw participating two seasons ago. In this game competitors act as managers who choose their own squad of players from the Premier League and get points on basis of performance. Of the total number of 1.95 million managers last season, 88,000 were Australians.

If you want to ape Jason Moultrie recipe of success, it is a deadly combination of study, hard work and luck.
