Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer January 17, 2013

I apologize for the lengthy title AND this introduction. I recently realized I should be involved in the rather large market for draft information that is Twitter, so I created an exclusively sports-related page on the site (@tripleddraft). That being...

Now Can You Wait For Me: First Three Round Mock of the Year!

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staf Writer January 15, 2013

I have never attempted anything so massive with the draft in my life. And of course, a week after I finish the mock and start typing it up, players I had in my Top 20 start opting to stay at school another year. So, with that in mind, I present to you...

Chances Are: NFL Week 17 Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer December 30, 2012

Ironic I picked this song to listen to on the way home. Well rather my iPod shuffle mode did. But it works, because every pick I make is a chance, nothing more. I am sorry ot say this is the last week of my picks. After this, I leave the playoffs up entirely...

Not in my Castle on a Cloud: NFL Week 15-16 Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer December 23, 2012

I think that's how the lyrics went in Les Miserables. Been awhile since I sang that in choir, and I have not yet had the fortune to see the movie. I've heard amazing things about it though! Again, I blame Christmas holidays for my lack of pick posting....

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: Big Board 2.0

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer December 20, 2012

Cause After Halloween: NFL Week 14 Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer December 9, 2012

Ironic I would pick this song. Well, not really, because one of my best friends Joe Peterson never stops singing short excerpts from random songs! The ironic part is that, after Halloween, I missed two straight posts. Thankfully it came at a decent excuse:...

William Shakespeare vs. Dr Seuss.: First 2 Big Boards of the Draft Season

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer December 5, 2012

Alright, I was reaching for my song title. When I reached, I thought of the Epic Rap Battle of History between the two gentlemen in the title. Pointless, yet funny. Moving on: Continuing to abide my my advised mantra, I am fueling my obsession. I also...

‘Merica!: NFL Mock Draft Edition 2

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer November 24, 2012

Today's song title is from an old song that has been making a revival. Unfortunately, due to some profane lyrics, I can't elaborate the remainder of the chorus. It's been an eventful week. I began Tuesday by starting, and completing on Friday, my NFL...

And All The People Say: NFL Week 10 Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer November 11, 2012

My song this week was "Wretches and Kings" by Linkin Park. Whie one of my favorite bands, it was more pu;lling straws than anything this time. Let me start off by thanking those of you who watched our political election night live coverage! It was...

Mario Brothers!: Week 8 NFL Mock Draft

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer November 5, 2012

I finally get to predict what my true analytic passion is in football: the NFL draft. Weekly picks, fantasy guesses, and outsmarting ESPN experts are always fun ways to stay involved, but the most fun is just downloading prospect lists, making your own...

Fly By Night: Week 8 NFL Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer October 28, 2012

Well last week I blew it. I only went 9-4. Sounds like I should be happy with my record, right? Well all the other experts had 10 or 11 wins, minimum. I tried finding every upset so I could go perfect and make up some games. Now I am 59-45, which puts...

Who Made You King of Anything?: NFL Week 7 Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer October 21, 2012

DISCLAIMER: I do not like that song. It's just what I woke up with stuck in my head. Week 5, I went 9-5, pushing my record to 46-31, moving me into fifth place, tied with two others. Week 6, I was unable to post my predictions, but once again, I...

You’re Tearing Up the Dance Floor Honey: Fantasy Tips Week 7

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer October 20, 2012

My iPod has no sense of what writing ethics are. I ask it to play on shuffle one song, and that will be my title. Not only does it pick Nickleback, a band I will most likely take heat for even mentioning, but it picks a song I can not say the name of...

Work Hard, Play Hard: Fantasy Tips Week 6

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer October 11, 2012

The title this week comes fromt he current song on during my AXP study hours session. Wiz Khalifa never fails to get me in a better mood, and pumped for football (The man loves the Steelers. Automatic win.) Last week, I saw my blog reach a higher level...

I Don’t Wanna Die, I Don’t Wanna Die, No: NFL Week 5 Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer October 7, 2012

The harder and harder I try not to, it seems questionable songs always seem to be in my head when I got o think of my next title. This one comes from Hollywood Undead, and is the subject because it's really cold out and I have to spend a copious amount...

Ya ya ya ya ya ya: Fantasy Football Picks Week 5

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer October 4, 2012

The title song this week comes from my roommates singing it almost every other night. The title may be considered unethical to have mentioned in my post however, so I will just say it's by Lonely Island and features Justin Timberlake. And yes, I sing...

I Need A Hero: NFL Week 4 Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer September 30, 2012

My song for this post is "Hero" by Skillet, and it comes courtesy from my friend Joe's laptop he insists on playing this morning. It can loosely apply to my performance picking games last week, because I kind of was the hero for people. Only one of the...

Make My Way Back Home and Learn To Fly: Week 4 Fantasy Tips

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer September 26, 2012

First I gotta say, Foo Fighters is doing an amazing job of getting me into a good writing zone. They also gave me the title for today's piece, and I've been told the random titles are both amusing and helpful in finding my writings through a google search....

And It Feels Like I Am Just too Close to Love You: Week 3 NFL Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer September 23, 2012

I have to start this post off with an apology. I have been pretty  really sick lately, and had the wondeful fortune of waking up sporadically throughout the night and sleeping poorly. So imagine my surprise when, instead of waking up with my alarm at...

I’m No Superman: Fantasy Football Picks

Daniel Kitchen, NFL staff writer September 20, 2012

To explain my title that strangely enough has absolutely nothing to do with my subject matter, I think a quick background message is required. I've been doing picks and projections (mainly on my Facebook page) for a year now, and fell into the habit of...
