Even though the Monday night game has yet to kick off, the People's Pigskin has racked up another loss. We currently trail the Northeast Dragons by a score of 93-83. The Dragons will start Brandon Marshall and the Steelers defense/special teams tonight, but unless Brandon has a few "Wrong Way" Marshall plays in him, the Pigskin's record will drop to 4-5.
Here's a breakdown of our results.
Kurt Warner, QB. The stats: 22 of 32 passing, 261 yards, 5 touchdowns, 1 rush for 3 yards, and 30 fantasy points. A week after his disastrous five-interception outing, Warner made mincemeat of the the Chicago Bears defense. If the rest of our fantasy football team played the way he did, we'd be talking about a resounding victory instead of a defeat.
Matt Forte, RB. The stats: 5 rushes for 33 yards, 6 receptions for 74 yards, and 10 fantasy points. For what it's worth, Forte is one of the few running backs who doesn't become irrelevant in fantasy football when his team gets behind, because he can do as much damage as a receiver as he does as a runner.
Steve Slaton, RB. The stats: 6 rushes for 17 yards, 3 receptions for 12 yards, 1 touchdown, and 8 fantasy points. This week it was Ryan Moats' turn to fumble the ball for the Houston Texans. Slaton held the ball long enough to get it in the end zone -- always a plus for fantasy players.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Flex. The stats: 6 receptions, 34 yards, 1 touchdown, and 9 fantasy points. The Seattle Seahawks were able to beat the Detroit Lions, but no Seahawk covered himself in fantasy glory.
Greg Jennings, WR. The stats: 5 receptions, 61 yards, and 6 fantasy points. Jennings should have had a much bigger day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who got their first win of the season in spite of their ugly Popsicle-colored uniforms.
Chad Ochocinco, WR. The stats: 5 receptions, 66 yards, 1 fumble, and 4 fantasy points. It's never a good sign when the most memorable part of your starting receiver's day is his attempt to give an official a dollar in exchange for a replay call. (He may end up giving the NFL more than a dollar for that stunt.)
Jeremy Shockey, TE. The stats: 3 receptions, 26 yards, and 2 fantasy points. You would think Shockey would have gotten more involved in the New Orleans Saints come-from-behind win over the Carolina Panthers.
Nick Folk, K. The stats: 2 for 2 on field goals, 2 for 2 on extra points, and 8 fantasy points. Folk made the most of his chances in a surprising Dallas Cowboys victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Speaking of which...
Philadelphia Eagles, D/ST. The stats: 1 interception, 4 sacks, 20 points allowed, and 6 fantasy points. The Eagles did everything right except keeping the Cowboys out of the end zone.
Bench. Matt Cassel got 20 fantasy points in his debut on the People's Pigskin bench, while Derrick Ward earned 11.
Now, while we wait for the Monday night game, it's time to look ahead to another night: Thursday night. The NFL Network Thursday slate starts this week with the Chicago Bears taking on the San Francisco 49ers. That means we can't wait until Saturday night to make the call on whether Matt Forte should start. As a result, this week we'll have a special poll for Forte alone. This poll will close Wednesday night. Please vote.
We'll be back tomorrow with a more detailed look at next week's matchup.

Weekend Reading
The polls on the right side of this page will close Sunday morning. While you consider what to do with our lineup and the question about your own fantasy football team, here are some links to visit in between your college games.
Not exactly a fan favorite, is he? The Kansas City Chiefs were having a rough season even before Larry Johnson decided to make a fool of himself. Now some fans have had enough of LJ. They've started a petition asking the Chiefs not to let him get the 75 rushing yards he needs to supplant Priest Holmes as Kansas City's all-time leader. How awkward would it be to have him on your fantasy team and learn that his own team's fans don't want him to put up 75 yards. Of course, with the way he's been producing lately, that could be a moot point.
What do you think you are, a quarterback? There were questions for the Jacksonville Jaguars after Maurice Jones-Drew got only 8 carries (and 177 yards) last week against the Tennessee Titans. Now the Jaguars are saying the fault lies not with the coaches, but with David Garrard, who had been audibling out of run plays and into passing plays. Jack Del Rio says he told his quarterback "Look, just hand it to him and let him run the ball."
If you have Jones-Drew on your fantasy team, I suppose this is good news. Of course, if you have Garrard, being told he can't call a pass play if he's sees an opportunity for one at the line is not very good news. Whether this is good news for the few remaining Jaguars fans remains to be seen.
Need a trophy for your league? You could go to your local trophy shop or to eBay, but now there's another alternative: the Arena Football League, which is selling pretty much everything it has left. Maybe you and your buddies can compete for the right to keep the Arena Bowl trophy in your living room for the next 12 months.
Down with the Drew Brees-loving capitalist horde! In the never-ending quest to provide you with alternative opinions on the game we love, I present a thought from a fellow Wordpress blogger, the Langston Escape Plan. The post's title: "Why the Third World Hates Us: Fantasy Football." The premise: People who spend their day scrounging up enough food to survive and protecting themselves from rampaging thugs don't have the time or resources to worry about whether the Steelers defense can stop the Denver Broncos.
"Imagine, if you will, that you are a fantasy football fan trying to explain to someone from the slums of India, the streets of oppressed Pyongyang or just about anywhere in Somalia why you spend any amount of time on it. What would you say? Because your bros do it? Because you can win even more disposable income? Because it’s fun?"
I imagine the same thing could be said about people who worry about things like Jennifer Aniston's love life, but the point is an interesting one, nonetheless.
Anyway, we'll be back tomorrow with poll results. Until then, enjoy the games.

Fearless Predictions - Week 9
If it's Friday, it must be time for another round of forecasts for the Landshark Maniacs fantasy football league. Last week's predictions went an embarassing 1-4, lowering the season record to 18-22. Comeback time, baby!
Peoples Pigskin vs. Northeast Dragons. You, the Internet, have gotten this team this far. The prediction here is for a Pigskin victory that sets the tone for a playoff drive.
D.C. Destroyers vs. T-bay jacks 151rum stumblrs. Too bad the Vikings are on a bye week. DeSean Jackson will fall short of the "experts" 21-point target, leading to a close win for the Destroyers.
Houston Wreckin' Crew vs. Hawaiian Surfriders. Regardless of which Dallas receiver is truly No. 1 (or playing like No. 2), the receivers will put up points and deliver a win for the Crew.
Ravens Fan T Sizzle vs. Big Lough O. The Sizzle bye week holes are a bigger issue than the Lough O injuries. The win goes to the Lough Os.
Tinks Revenge vs. Southern Rebels. This is a game that won't be settled until the Monday night game is over. Roethlisberger will put up just enough points to get the Rebels over the top.
We'll be back tomorrow with some more recommended reading. In the meantime, be sure to vote in our polls. Every vote counts.

Thursday Afternoon Reading
Thanks to all of you who voted in our quarterback poll. The winner was Matt Cassel, who is now part of our roster. Remember that you still have time to vote in our lineup and fantasy team polls on the right side of this page. In the meantime, here are some interesting links to peruse.
Talk about your 'boob tube.' A new series will debut tonight at 10:30 p.m. EDT. It's called "The League," and it follows a group of friends as they deal with marriage, relationships, family issues, and their fantasy football league. This review suggests that this series may not last very long. Nevertheless, it might interesting to see how the folks in Hollywood view those of us who sweat over our starting lineups each week.
No 'Quiet please' signs here. I stumbled on an interesting blog the other day. It's called Fantasy Football Librarian, and it's like a K-Mart for fantasy thoughts. (Yes, that's meant to be a compliment.) It's run by an actual librarian, who offers a compilation of fantasy football lists and rankings from across the Internet. If you're looking for a dozen different opinions on whether to start Jay Cutler and whether to cut Tashard Choice, this site would be helpful. Plus, it's a far better way to waste your time than this.

Pick the People's Team - Week 9
While you consider what quarterback to pick up off waivers (and that poll will close Wednesday night), it's time to start gearing up for our upcoming fantasy football game. This week's opponent is the 7-1 Northeast Dragons. You can look at our current lineup here. And here's the breakdown.
Quarterback. For the moment, Kurt Warner remains in the starting lineup. There's no question that he had a rough time last week, but the Arizona Cardinals are showing no signs of either shifting their offensive focus away from the passing game or benching Warner. Bonus stat: He's tied with Matt Schaub for most pass attempts this season. If you want to bench Warner anyway, we can start the QB we pick up off waivers. (You can still vote on that, btw.)
Running back. Right now our starters are Matt Forte and (take a deep breath here) Steve Slaton. Yes, Slaton was benched last week after an early fumble, but Gary Kubiak has said Slaton will get some playing time this week against the Indianapolis Colts. If you wish to bench either Forte or Slaton, we can call on Chris "Beanie" Wells.
Flex. We currently have T.J. Houshmandzadeh in this spot. He put up disappointing numbers last week but was still targeted 11 times last week and gets to face the Detroit Lions, whose fans seem to be turning on Matthew Stafford already. Nate Washington can be called into service if you want to bench Houshmandzadeh.
Wide receiver. We get to welcome back to the lineup Chad Ochocinco, who ranks in the top 10 in receiving yards per game. He joins Greg Jennings, who gets to face the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who probably wish they could be facing the Florida Tuskers instead. If you want to bench one of these receivers, T.J. Houshmandzadeh could fill one of these slots, and Nate Washington could take the flex spot.
No changes this week in tight end (Jeremy Shockey), kicker (Nick Folk), or defense/special teams (Philadelphia Eagles).
The new poll is up, along with the quarterback and fantasy team ones. Please vote. We'll be back with more tomorrow.

Behind the Week 8 Loss
No two ways about it -- this one hurt.
Despite the best efforts of you, the Internet, to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, the fantasy football gods decided it wasn't enough. The People's Pigskin lost its rematch against Ravens Fan T Sizzle by a score of 74-72. Here's a breakdown of our team's performance.
Kurt Warner, QB. The stats: 27 of 46 passing for 242 yards, 2 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 1 rush for 8 yards, 1 fumble, and 5 fantasy points. His Arizona Cardinals suffered a horrible loss to the Carolina Panthers. It felt like a fluke, and we have to hope it was.
Matt Forte, RB. The stats: 26 rushes for 90 yards and 2 touchdowns, 2 receptions for 31 yards, and 24 fantasy points. Now, that's the Matt Forte that was getting such high praise when everyone was having their drafts. It's too bad the Chicago Bears can't play the Cleveland Browns every week.
Steve Slaton, RB. The stats: 1 rush for 1 yard, 2 receptions for 10 yards, 1 fumble, and minus-1 fantasy point. It's one thing if you lose a fantasy player to an injury. It's another thing when your fantasy starter is benched for a fumble while his team rolls to an easy victory.
If Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak is reading this, let me say something on behalf of fantasy football players everywhere. We know you're in no rush to name a starting running back, and we know you're looking out for your team, not ours. But if you feel compelled to punish a player, we'd prefer it if you fined him or made him run extra laps or forced him to watch Cougar Town or something.
Chris "Beanie" Wells, Flex. The stats: 8 rushes for 47 yards and 4 fantasy points. Wells' fantasy stats will depend on scoring touchdowns, and the Cardinals fell far enough behind to have to throw the rest of the game.
Greg Jennings, WR. The stats: 8 receptions for 88 yards, 1 touchdown, and 14 fantasy points. It wasn't a happy homecoming as far as Green Bay Packers fans were concerned, but Jennings continued to show his value to his team and to fantasy football.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR. The stats: 4 receptions for 24 yards and 2 fantasy points. The Seattle Seahawks looked flat as a whole against the Dallas Cowboys.
Jeremy Shockey, TE. The stats: 5 receptions for 72 yards and 7 fantasy points. Shockey almost led the comeback against the Sizzle, but it ended up falling short.
Nick Folk, K. The stats: 1 for 2 on field goals, 5 for 5 on extra points, and 8 fantasy points. Steady production is the best one can expect from a kicker.
Philadelphia Eagles, D/ST. The stats: 2 interceptions, 1 fumble recovery, 2 sacks, 17 points allowed, and 9 fantasy points. These stats look better when you consider that they were compiled against the New York Giants, a preseason Super Bowl contender.
Bench. Nate Washington put up 8 points, while Jamal Lewis put up 6.
At this point, the People's Pigskin's record is 4-4, and I just have to hope you, the Internet, won't fire me like George Kokinis.
We'll be back tomorrow with a preview of our next matchup. In the meantime, be sure to vote, both in our polls and at your local precincts.

The Monday Update (and a New Poll)
The People's Pigskin could not seal the deal on Sunday afternoon. We walk into the Monday night matchup trailing Ravens Fan T Sizzle by a score of 74-65. The Sizzle has no one in tonight's game between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. Our hopes are riding on the hands of Jeremy Shockey, who must score 10 points to secure a victory for you, the Internet.
And what would Monday be without a new fantasy football poll? This time, it's time to wave good-bye to the injured Trent Edwards and recruit a new backup quarterback. Even if he is slated to return after the Bills' bye week, his team is getting nothing done. It's time to find someone who can. Here are your nominees.
Jason Campbell, Washington Redskins. Yes, he's playing for America's favorite punching bag, but he put up 15 fantasy points against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he's 18th among quarterbacks with 74.
Matt Cassel, Kansas City Chiefs. He's another under the radar passer, and if he had a better team around him, he'd be putting up bigger numbers. As it stands, he ranked 19th among quarterbacks with 69 fantasy points.
Mark Sanchez, New York Jets. His team is taking a tumble, but his numbers haven't. Mr. Sanchez scored 24 fantasy points against the Miami Dolphins, and he currently ranks 21st among quarterbacks with 57. (Fair warning: His team has a bye this week.)
Those are the choices. The poll is open. We'll be back tomorrow with a detailed look at our week 8 performance.

The People's Choice - Week 8
Once again, you, the Internet, have spoken. You decided that we should leave our lineup alone for our matchup against Ravens Fan T Sizzle. You can follow that matchup here.
You also said that you watch "as many games as humanly possible" on Sunday. If that's the case, there's a good chance you'll watch Brett Favre return to Lambeau Field. You probably have heard and seen enough about this game, but let me direct you to Peter King's Game Plan anyway. Peter argues that Ryan Longwell, the Vikings kicker and former Packer, has some idea about the type of reception Favre can expect. (Sure, because we all view kickers and future Hall of Fame quarterbacks alike, don't we?)
The reception? Simple: They'll boo him until his ears bleed, and then they'll play football.
But enough about Brett. This week's poll asks about your fantasy football team. Be sure to vote. We'll be back later with an update. Here are the results of the two most recent polls.
