Vikings quarterback still fantasy stud…. When the season started quarterback Brett Favre was not on anyone’s radar as a number one fantasy quarterback.

What a week last week was.  Ole Miss showed it was certainly no where near a top five team, Miami flew back to earth, and Oregon skyrocketed off the planet.  Definitely some intriguing games coming up this week as conference play is about to heat up, and maybe a few pretenders will be separated from [...]

So it was an old fashioned “Base-brawl” at Yankee Stadium Tuesday evening and it could have been avoided had Jorge Posada realized that the post season is more important than precipitating an altercation with a game that meant nothing.
