The polls on what to do with our lineup and how you set up yours will close later tonight, but while you ponder how you will vote, I thought I'd offer you some links to visit.
Why Fooball Is Better Than Baseball. What does baseball say when the temperature drops below 30 degrees? No way, Jose Molina. What does football say when the temperature does that? Oh, yeah! Bring it on!
I Want My Vick TV. I'm not sure whether this should be called ridiculous or inevitable (or maybe both). Michael Vick (remember him?) will star in an eight-part documentary that will air on BET. Of course, the first thought that came into my mind was when the other Eagles backup QB was getting his show?
Don't Rush to Judgment. (Yes, I chose the cheap pun. Sue me.) Players like Bart Scott and Matthias Kiwanuka heard that someone's actually interested in the Rams and responded by saying they wouldn't play for Rush Limbaugh. Of course, before they say that, they should check out the histories of some of the people who have owned NFL teams in the past. George Marshall, for instance. Heck, at this point, I'd bet the Oakland Raiders would be glad to have an owner with a pulse.
Recommended Links. Sclike offers an insightful (and humorous) view on how Christians should feel about "Playing Fantasy Football for Money."
Also, a newcomer to the fantasy football game, Queen of the Savages, tells us how she got into the game. (Warning: The language here isn't safe for children, unless you want to have a certain conversation with said children.)
Again, vote on the polls. We'll be back with the results and a new poll on Sunday.

Gameday Thoughts
As we get ready for our epic clash with Tinks Revenge, here are some random thoughts, some of them related to fantasy football.
Guess who's coming to kickoff? A lot is being made about Michael Vick's return to active duty. Of course, most of the fuss is being made by folks who don't talk about fantasy football for a living. You would be insane to put Vick into your fantasy lineup at this point, and your sanity would also be questioned if you played Kevin Kolb, given the possibility that he'll get pulled for Vick (or even Jeff Garcia) on any given play.
No Brownie points for you. How far behind the curve are the Cleveland Browns? Most teams take care of their rookie pranks during training camp. This team waits until week 3 of the regular season to pull a prank that starts a locker room fight. Of course, if I were the Browns, I'd worry less about pranks and punches than I would about who's going to carry the ball with Jamal Lewis hurt. And we don't have to worry about discipline issues in Cleveland, right? After all, this is the place that issues four-figure fines for forgetting to pay for a $3 water bottle. Any prank or fight that caused serious damage would likely be punished this way.
Fantasy triage. By this point every year, no matter how many rules are changed or how many hits are outlawed, every fantasy team is dealing with injuries. ESPN is even offering a blog just for keeping track of the wounded warriors. As of 10:45 a.m. EDT, we know that Donovan McNabb, Jamal Lewis and LaDainian Tomlinson are out. Matt Hasselbeck is doubtful (which, for fantasy players, is just as good as being out). Brian Westbrook, Clinton Portis, Marion Barber, Wes Welker, Randy Moss and a cast of thousands are questionable.
What does this mean? It means if you're a serious fantasy player, you're either watching a pregame show so you can set your lineup at the last minute, or you're driving the people around you crazy because you're worrying about your lineup.
Isn't fantasy football fun? ;)
Anyway, we'll be back later with an early look at our results. In the meantime, here's a new poll. Enjoy your Sunday.
