Shaun Alexander, tell me you didn’t take the money and get even more soft…Sorry Tom Brady owners, New England is officially a run-team this year…I knew it would happen eventually, but it’s only Week 3 and DeAngelo Williams, Laurence Maroney and Joseph Addai are all already more valuable than their veteran backfield mates…This Texas-style offense Atlanta is running should have been utilized years ago. The WCO couldn’t have been a worse fit for Vick. The fewer passes he throws and the more he runs, the better. And if he gets hurt, so what, Matt Schaub is the best backup QB in football…Something tells me Chad Johnson suffered a concussion last week…R.I.P. Edgerrin James, top-10 fantasy back…Jerious Norwood might be the fastest back in the NFL and would become a top-8 fantasy option if Warrick Dunn were to go down…Watched “Tupac: Resurrection” the other day. Was I the only one who didn’t realize he got his start as a member of “Digital Underground?”…The Ravens’ defense looks great, but Steve McNair and Jamal Lewis do not. This squad still looks like an 8-8 team to me…Word is Cadillac Williams is suffering from multiple herniated discs in his back, despite not being mentioned on this week’s injury report. Stashing Michael Pittman is a must for all Carnell owners…Maybe Cedric Benson just isn’t very good…Same goes for Jason Campbell, as he’d surely be starting by now if otherwise…The Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh tilt is clearly the game of the week…
Hate to say I told you so, but I still don’t understand why so many fantasy publications had Reuben Droughns ranked so high entering the season…If you can get Joe Addai or even Tatum Bell for him, do it…Not sure which show is more ridiculous between “Nip/Tuck” and “Prison Break,” but I am sure I can’t stop watching them…Rookie WRs are usually best avoided, but Greg Jennings and Chad Jackson may prove differently this year…The Indy Colts look poised for another 14-2 year…I know a shoulder is more important than a knee to a QB and all, but it’s pretty clear the Dolphins made a franchise-crushing mistake in choosing Daunte Culpepper over Drew Brees…With that said, Ronnie Brown is still in store for a huge year…When the Vikings chose Troy Williamson over Mike Williams I chided them endlessly. With Williamson looking like a future star and Williams inactive every week, I couldn’t have been more wrong…Glad to see “Survivor” winner Danni thriving on ESPN’s “The Fantasy Show.” Boy does she really know her sports…If you caught Bill Belichick and Eric Mangini’s after game encounter, it’s safe to say they didn’t separate on amicable terms…Will someone please let Marc Bulger know the season has started…R.I.P. Nate Burleson…Chris Simms might be the shortest 6’4’’ person alive; is “tipped pass” a part of the Bucs’ playbook? First Ben Roethlisberger says he has broken toes when he really didn’t and now he’s telling Michelle Tafoya he has a 104-degree temperature when it was really 100.4. What next, Big Ben? You got in a severe motorcycle accident without wearing a helmet?!… “In the year 2000” is still Conan O’Brien’s best skit…Does Rex Grossman really have a 128.7 QB rating right now?…Since 1990, when the NFL went to a 12-team playoff format, just three teams have made the playoffs after an 0-3 start, something either Carolina or Tampa Bay will be after this weekend.
