Week 11 Reaction
2007-11-19 19:25:00 Time to try out something new. Here are some random thoughts regarding Week 11's Fantasy Football action. Donovan McNabb went down with an injury. It must be near Thanksgiving. The good news is that D-Mac did not suffer any structural damage to his ankle. He is considered day-to-day. Keep an eye on the injury report, as he'll likely be "questionable" for Week 12 at New England. The More About: Reaction

Beating the House--Week 11
2007-11-18 00:51:00 One of the symptoms of a gambler is this...if you bet and lost, you shouldn't have made it at all...but if you bet and won, then you should have done it for more...

HUGE Injury News - Adrian Peterson
2007-11-13 15:55:00 Adrian Peterson has a torn ligament in his knee. "Luckily", it is his Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) rather than his ACL, MCL or PCL. This should allow him to return yet this season. Also, the Vikings are claiming that Purple Jesus could even return to practice early in Week 12. THe consensus opinion, however, puts All Day out for 2-4 weeks and I have absolutely no idea why the Vikings More About: News , Injury , Adrian , Huge , Adrian Peterson
