I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Football Widow? Get a Load of This!?

Football season is here. (Isn’t it supposed to be a fall/winter sport?) Anyway, if you want to get into the whole football, fantasy league thing to impress your husband or significant other, and you don’t have any real knowledge of the sport or the players, here’s a place you can go get help and look like pro. Hint hint ladies — if you’re wanting him to take ballroom dance or jitterbug lessons, this would be the perfect way to lay the groundwork for that proposal.

DraftDude.com, an online fantasy sports helper, has launched a service that allows people who know absolutely nothing about football to make professional-level drafting decisions for fantasy football leagues.

The DraftDude

This website helps users to make expert-level drafting, playing, and trading decisions in a matter of minutes. Needless to say, it’s an easy way to shock your dude and his friends by having the best picks at his next draft party! It only costs $10 for the entire season, and that’s not much of an investment if you get your “dude” to do the Foxtrot with you after the football season is over.

Draftdude has a five minute instructional video to make it super easy to for you to draft your team.

Also, in order to begin impressing your dude “right off the bat,” the experts at DraftDude have provided the following free tips for you to begin using this weekend.

DraftDude.com’s top five picks for the NFL’s Most Underrated And Overrated Players

#1 Most underrated Wide Receiver: T.J. Houshmandzadeh

WHY? He caught 92 passes last year, despite being on an anemic Bengals team in a tough defensive conference–the move to Seattle will help.

#2 Most overrated Wide Receiver: Terrell Owens

WHY? The aging Owens is often among the league leaders in dropped passes, but gets more attention for his off-field antics–both of which could  signal a dip in production. He could become disruptive if he becomes aggravated that he is not as productive as he has been in the past, further harming his production.

#3 Most underrated Tight End: Kellen Winslow

WHY? After an injury-riddled 2008 campaign, Winslow is primed for a rebound with new team Tampa Bay. He is a playmaker with potential for a  big year if he stays healthy.

#4 Overrated Kicker: Adam Vinatieri

WHY? The former Super Bowl hero’s skills are declining, and Vinatieri only attempted three field goals in the red zone last year on a strong
Colts offense. Expect that trend to continue.

#5 Most underrated Defensive Player: Trent Cole

WHY? Another Pro Bowl snub, Cole is a consistent performer who plays on a strong Philadelphia defense. He will rack up at least 10 sacks.

Have fun with it, ladies. And let me know how you “work it” to your advantage!
