Playoff, Waiver Updates

First of all, thanks to all of you who voted in our latest poll about which quarterback should take Shaun Hill's spot on the People's Pigskin roster. The vote was split down the middle between Jon Kitna and Donovan McNabb. We used the week 14 projection as the tiebreaker, and Kitna beat McNabb by a single point. The results appear at the bottom of this post.

Kitna's now on our roster and will be available for selection this weekend (if Peyton Manning doesn't win his "Should we start him Thursday?" poll).

Now, it's time to turn our attention to the People's League playoffs. As we said before, the Pigskin earned the top seed with a 10-3 regular season record. This week, we will begin a two-week semifinal against the 9-4 Hudson Valley Hawks.

The Pigskin and the Hawks met twice in the regular season. Back in week 2, the Internet's favorite fantasy football team defeated the Hawks by a score of 101-82. Peyton Manning led the way for the Pigskin with 22 fantasy points, while the Hawks got only 1 point (and 4 turnovers) from Brett Favre. In week 11, the Hawks got their revenge by beating the Pigskin by a score of 123-112. Fred Jackson and Santonio Holmes produced 24 points apiece for the Hawks, and the Pigskin had to absorb a donut from Randy McMichael, filling in for the injured Antonio Gates.

In other words, this matchup could go either way, so we do need your help. The polls for the Thursday night game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans are still open. They will close before kickoff, and we'll offer the rest of the lineup polls then. Please vote. I'd hate to have to suspend you because you refused to do so.
