A Fresh Perspective

Water Cooler Rants is a member of the Dynamic Fantasy Draft Help (FDH) family of Blogs and other new media outlets. We first and foremost started out as Fantasy Sports experts/analysts. Fantasy Sports is a great conduit to locating the truth and reason for everything in real sports. We take that approach in bring you the information that we do. Deep rooted analysis, researched information, crunched numbers arriving us all a conclusion that is Correct, whether it is popular or not.

Most sports fans seek perspective. Most fans do not have the time nor the inclination to do the heavy lifting to assertain said perspective. When choosing a career, I chose one that depended on my ability to do the heavy lifting. I provide perspective to those seeking it. What I have found over the years, is that most people defer to the "Media Powerhouses" for their information. Generally, this is not a problem. Except when the Powerhouses of Media do not do the analysis they should. They have a responsibility to their public to do or say what is right as opposed to what's popular. This indeed is not always the case. Major sports markets get the bulk of the run in heavy rotation. Just like in the music industry, the powers that be decide what you should care about. Ever wonder why no baseball team other than the Yankees get top billing? Why are the New England Patriots perceved to be America's team? Is it really hockey's fault no body is watching? These are some of the questions people should be asking.
It is very convenient for the people with the influence to say what is in their best interest. In this blog, we will entertain other aspects. Deal with topics major media does not believe is important to you. Because it's not in THEIR best interest. The bottom line is important. Things like box scores, averages, wins and losses. What I believe is more important is the process by which we arrive at said conclusions. We will probe all of this. If you want the news, you know where to get it. If you want background information, the cause of, the result of, the real reason for; then this is where you come to get it. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy bringing it to the foreground.
