    Juggernaut Index No. 8: The Houston Texans

    For years, this team was a fantasy smorgasbord, but a real-life disappointment. Houston would score a zillion points, allow just as many, and finish at 8-8. But the Texans flipped a switch last season. They enter 2012 as legit Super Bowl contenders, the clear favorites to repeat as AFC South...

    Children's Self-Control Is Associated With Their Body Mass Index As Adults

    As adults, we know that self-control and delaying gratification are important for making healthful eating choices, portion control, and maintaining a healthy weight. However, exhibiting these skills at a young age actually may affect weight later in life. A new study scheduled for publication in...

    Juggernaut Index, No. 21: The Washington Redskins

    Back in March, the Washington Redskins traded up four spots in the first round of the draft, from the No. 6 pick to No. 2, in order to select Heisman winner Robert Griffin III. The team also dealt away its 2013 and 2014 first-rounders to the Rams, plus this year's No. 39 overall selection. So...

    Juggernaut Index No. 23: The Buffalo Bills

    There was a time last season, during the opening weeks, when the following question was considered completely legit: "Who's gonna be better rest-of-season, Cam Newton or Ryan Fitzpatrick?" In fact, that may have been the most frequently asked question within the fantasy community last...

    Juggernaut Index No. 32: The Miami Dolphins

    That's right, the Juggernaut Index begins anew. For those who aren't familiar with this series, it's our annual ranking of NFL teams for fantasy purposes. Repeat: FOR FANTASY PURPOSES. We're not thinking about wins or losses or intangibles here. Instead, we care primarily about yards and points...

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 Toyota Yaris SE Five-Door

    An endearing, tossable nature that is slightly muted by mediocre steering feel and uncomfortable driving position. The new Yaris is a pleasing improvement over the previous generation. Still, issues from the last-gen Yaris remain. In particular, its 1.5-liter, four-cylinder is a noisy...

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR

    Hardcore all-wheel-drive capability makes it a monster on the track. It operates very well when pushed closer and closer to its limits. There’s just so much grip on offer that you are generally at your limits before the car is.

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG

    The big-bodied Benz offers remarkable composure despite its size. Epic powerplant sounds great and delivers plenty of power all over the rev range. AMG’s seven-speed DCT is also an excellent piece.

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2013 Lexus GS350 F-Sport

    Sportified GS isn't a huge improvement on the standard model, but that's mainly because the regular GS350 is so good. Feels more confident and stable in the bends, and somewhat more talkative.

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 Ford Edge EcoBoost

    Really, it's better than the V-6 model. Low- and mid-range torque is quite good, and the six-speed automatic keeps up nicely. We'd like a manual mode, and perhaps the addition of all-wheel drive.

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 Subaru Impreza Sedan

    The cornering grip and transitioning from side to side are pretty good, but the steering feel just isn’t really there. 2.0-liter engine feels overwhelmed, although the manual gearbox is actually pretty nice to use. That rings true for the rest of the cabin, with its supportive seats and driving...

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 Mini Cooper S Coupe

    Besides the carryover powertrains, the Mini Coupe features added structural bracing for a stiffer chassis and better feedback. The result is the best handling Mini outside of the John Cooper Works models. In the bends, the Coupe feels even stiffer, with a quick-rotating nature that is also...

    Comfort/Involvement Index: 2012 BMW 328i Sport Line

    Only a lack of steering feel lets down the 3-Series legend in this sixth generation. Good power from the turbo four, with subtle, adjustable, sports sedan handling. We were happily surprised to find that the sonic profile, while a world away from the song of the outgoing inline-six, is pretty...
