Fantasy Smorgasbord

A little something for everyone in today's Fantasy Smorgasbord:

1. Ahh, to see Al Michaels and John Madden on air again. It was like an early autumn delight. Or at least amusing and of course fun to watch football on Sunday night again. And what happens tonight, you ask? Monday night football with the Broncos and 49ers, baby. Go Broncos...yes, even in the pre-season. But back to last night - Gregg Rosenthal blogged all night long about various players and happenings during the Seattle/SD game. Check out his blog, Pancake Blocks, to get the scoop - or just check out his summary blog post, Things We Learned. Or you can check out TINO Sports Page for basically one-sentence long summaries of several of the games. Or take a look at Football Outsiders' Every Play Doesn't Count for roundtable commentary of some of the games.

2. More player updates for you: Warrick Dunn returned to practice today, Thomas Jones injured his leg during Sunday's practice (severity doesn't seem too bad since he was already putting weight on his leg shortly thereafter), Larry Johnson's holdout is possibly coming to and end, and some commotion about the Bears fabulous new offense.

3. Who is that guy in the photo? Laurent Robinson. Stay tuned for reasons to keep an eye on this rookie. [photo: sportsnetwork.com]

Labor Day FF links

Happy long weekend! Here's hoping most of you are free to enjoy the 3-day weekend and the relaxation and fun that comes with it. I spent my Sunday participating in 3 fantasy football drafts scattered throughout the day and night, but I think I've finally wrapped up my drafts for the year. So like many of you I'm now turning my attention to the Week 1 games! But before we get to some player rankings and prep for Week 1, I want to make sure that all you experts out there are aware of the upcoming deadline for the annual accuracy contest that I run with the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. I compare preseason positional rankings from experts to the final outcome of the fantasy season to see which site had the most accurate preseason rankings, and this year's deadline is fast approaching: September 9th by kickoff. Check out the info on the FSTA site for more details and be sure to e-mail me your submissions. Now, onto Week 1! First up, let's get to some of this

2010 Week 2 consensus start/sit

A hiatus

Update:  It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you all that yesterday, August 30th, I delivered our stillborn daughter, Caroline Mary. This has been an almost surreal and definitely heartbreaking experience and I appreciate the support in each and every one of your notes. Caroline will be honored and loved always. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your thoughts and prayers - they mean the world to our family. I have been a very poor blogger this month and feel I owe you all an explanation, particularly as this is crunch time for draft prep. I hope this is not too personal of a look into my life since I know most of you are just here for the football. I am nearly 18 weeks pregnant and we have learned that our baby (a little girl!) has triploidy, a chromosomal abnormality that means she has three copies of every chromosome instead of the normal two. The doctors have explained that it's a completely random occurrence and fairly rare that she has made it this far along, but tha
