This week, we threw a Justin Verlander-level curveball at you, the Internet. We asked you to pick a new defense/special teams and a new kicker for the People's Pigskin to fill in for our regular starters, the Pittsburgh Steelers and John Kasay. You voted, we submitted the waiver wire requests -- and came up as empty as this guy.
So, instead of getting our first choice, the Cincinnati Bengals defense/special teams, we ended up with the Buffalo Bills defense/special teams. They will start for us this week against the Miami Dolphins. Joseph Addai was released to make room for the Bengals.
On the kicker side, we couldn't get Neil Rackers (who has a bye week, anyway), so we went with plan B: Mike Nugent of the Cincinnati Bengals. He'll start for us against the suddenly vulnerable Baltimore Ravens. Danny Woodhead was released to give Nugent a roster spot.
Thanks for your input on those polls. And feel free to vote on the others. The one about Plaxico Burress will close Thursday evening (before his New York Jets kick off against the Denver Broncos). The ones about our NASCAR lineup will close Friday evening. And new football polls will go up as soon as we know whether Burress is starting for the Internet's favorite fantasy football team.
