FDH Insider/Goon Squad August 6

By Rick Morris

The FDH Wednesday night on SportsTalkNetwork.com continues to cover a wider swath than any other chunk of broadcasting on terrestrial or Internet media.

On THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER (7-9 PM EDT), we deliver a first even for us: a Summer Olympics fantasy medal draft. With the start of the Games mere days away, how can you and your friends watch with an additional rooting interest? Tune in and find out -- and go to our Summer Olympics page on FDH for details. Then, toward the end of Hour One, we go back to a topic raised last week during our fantasy baseball discussion: the topic of "offset twins" as you prepare your rosters going down the stretch and looking ahead to next year. Hour Two is completely devoted to fantasy football as we get ready for our biggest program of the year -- next week's three-hour fantasy football mock draft! We'll preview draft strategy at different points of the early rounds, as well as examining mid and late-round strategies. Additionally, we'll look at how the early news out of NFL training camps has changed some draft assumptions. And we haven't forgotten about you good folks participating in auction formats -- we'll break down auction strategies. Above all else, make sure that you have our free draft guide, FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFTOLOGY 2008, in your mitts on Draft Day/Auction Day (it's got dollar values, auctioneers!).

On THE GOON SQUAD (9-10 PM EDT), we wrap up our extended team-by-team preview of the 2008-2009 NHL season by going through the only division we have yet to visit, the Atlantic. Then we break out THE FDH LOUNGE team-by-team predictions for the season: point totals for all teams in the league, playoff rankings and playoff outcomes -- our crystal ball tells it all! Our comprehensive look ahead at the upcoming NHL season comes before what will be at least a two-week break for the show as we run up to the 10 PM EDT hour with our fantasy football programming for the next few episodes, so soak up the live puck programming while you can, Wednesday night only on The Sports Talk Network!
