Profile: Charlie Zegers

Charlie was a promising power forward... in seventh grade. But he never grew beyond six-foot-one or developed that left hand, and his dreams of playing for Louie Carnesecca's Redmen withered on the vine. As so often happens, he turned his attention to writing about hoops.

Charlie is a freelance sportswriter who has covered pro and college basketball, baseball and football for RotoWire.com, and About.com's basketball site, and in print for the RotoWire NFL and NBA fantasy preview magazines. His columns appear regularly on NBA.com, Yahoo!, and Fox Sports and are collected at LaneViolation.com. He appears regularly on the Rotowire Fantasy Sports Hour with host Jeff Erickson.

My "Beat Peter Schoenke" Draft Results.

My entry in the RotoWire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship was Monday night. Here's my quick take on the draft - this is a 12-team mixed league, 5x5 categories, 30 rosters spots (23 active), with no trades in the league. It has a top prize of $50,000 and a league prize of $1,400.
