David Sabino: Week 1 -- Start 'Em/ Sit 'Em Every week on Thursdays we're going to go through and identify the best players to have in your lineups and those who would be good to sit for the week. You're never going to see things like "Start Tom Brady" or "Sit Aaron Stecker" here, but you might on occasion see the opposite. However for the most part, we'll be trying to help you make those tough weekly decisions a little easier. Publ.Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:22:43 -0400 Source: CNN.com

Read the latest injury updates I'm so excited for football season that I feel like dancing around like that Numa Numa kid. Ok, maybe not that excited, but close. We'll do a couple things different this year to make this better. Doing something 'last minute' is tough, even at Internet speed, because of how things go up. We've structured things so that you get a good read on how things will play out when we first get this up before 11am Eastern, but then, like Peyton Manning, I'll have the freedom to change the play, giving you updates right up to kickoff to make sure the information is as close to perfect as I can get it. I can't make you the promise that we won't miss one or that a true gametime decision won't throw things off, but I can tell you that I'm working each week to get darn close. Each player (or section) has a rating, one of four easy to note things if you're just scanning. I shouldn't have to explain Green, Yellow, and Red -- they're simple ascending risk -- but CWM isn't a color. It stands for "check with me," a football term the QB says when he's going to call an audible at the line. I'll leave that for the players that I'll be checking on heading into gametime.

Favre's coattails are long, Ray Rice's future is now and more fantasy thoughts OK, it sounds good, the whole idea of addressing some of the most intriguing fantasy questions each week, but I'm making a disclaimer: I don't know if I have so many remnants of thought left after a particularly grueling preseason. Between being mesmerized by the suddenly sexy Olympic games (sorry Mike Phelps, but that comment does NOT pertain to you) and the last minute seismic shifts throughout the NFL, what follows is the dregs of semi-logical thoughts and questions that I have, as we roll into the first weekend of the NFL circa 2008.

Fate spins different fortunes for Cubs, Red Sox, more injury notes With September comes a big change, both to MLB rosters and the way I have to do my job. The Disabled List stops being needed. It's only there to offer a team roster relief when a player is injured, and with most of those players coming up as minor league seasons end, there's no value. There's also some accounting and insurance reasons, but I won't bore you with that. What it does is leave a way for teams to move players around without the need for a formal shelving. That allows some players to be hidden with minor injuries and minor spin, but the media landscape doesn't let the big things get past. Publ.Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:22:43 -0400 Source: CNN.com
