FDH Insider/Goon Squad May 28

After a week's hiatus, THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER (7-9 PM EDT) and THE GOON SQUAD (immediately after the fantasy show) return to the virtual airwaves of SportsTalkNetwork.com.

On The FDH Insider, we explore the statistical trends of the 2008 MLB season and examine what the medium and long-term implications will be. Many weeks we go "micro" looking at specific players on the show; this week we go "macro" to take a step back and focus on some of the bigger patterns at work thus far. In Hour Two, we move into our first look at the 2008 NBA Draft by unveiling our Senior Editor Jason Jones' Top 99 prospect list -- which we will then post here on the blog, of course.

On our hockey program, we'll be changing the format somewhat to appear at intermission of Game Three of the Stanley Cup Finals. We'll break down the action for you, both from tonight and the first two games of the series in Detroit.

Be sure to catch the new FDH Wednesday night lineup, only on SportsTalkNetwork.com.

FDH Insider/Goon Squad May 14

On tonight’s edition of the FDH Wednesday night lineup on SportsTalkNetwork.com, we take our usual jaunt all across the sports landscape and break it down for you thoroughly.

On THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER (7-9 PM EDT), we discuss matters of philosophy in terms of managing your roto baseball team at this point of the year. Many leagues are at the quarter-mark, or perhaps even third-mark if you will of the regular season. How do you assess what moves to make going forward based on what’s happened to you so far? We’ll spend the first hour going into detail helping you manage your situation.

In Hour Two, the grades for NFL teams from the 2008 draft that we referenced last week will be broken down in detail. How did your team do, why did we assess it that way and what does it mean going forward? The answers come your way tonight.

Next, on THE GOON SQUAD (9-10 PM EDT), a very anti-climactic pair of Stanley Cup Conference Finals gets dissected. How did each series get to a 3-0 point and what does it mean going forward for the losers? Plus, we bring you your first Stanley Cup Finals preview anywhere and unveil a huge announcement for the next GOON SQUAD live program.

Join us for all the fun tonight as always on The Sports Talk Network.

FDH Insider/Goon Squad May 7

Now that the new FDH Wednesday night lineup has settled in on the new and improved SportsTalkNetwork.com, midweek sports talk will never be the same.

This week's festivities begin with THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER (7-9 PM EDT) and we will begin by taking a look back at the Kentucky Derby and our Triple Crown fantasy draft from last week's program. Towards the end of our first half hour, we begin to break down the Buy Low/Sell High candidates in fantasy baseball now that the season is well into its second month.

Towards the beginning of Hour Two, we move on to more of our NFL Draft recap coverage. Part I occurred on last week's program and tonight, we deliver detailed letter grades for each NFL team.

The FDH bloc ends with THE GOON SQUAD (9-10 PM EDT) as we look back at the NHL conference semifinals and then examine the Detroit-Dallas and Pittsburgh-Philadelphia conference final showdowns. Additionally, ESPN's importation of Don Cherry for the remainder of the playoffs hit the wires this week and we'll talk about what a treat for American fans that will be.

Tune in for all of the fun Wednesday night only on STN.
