What's better than bubble wrap?

Our son turns 1 in a few days. One whole year. Unreal how fast it flew. We're now all stocked up on birthday presents and I felt some odd, rabid desire to buy my son any tiny thing he could possibly want while wandering the aisles of Toys R Us. Consumerism at its best worst, eh? Don't worry, I reigned myself in and decided a 1-year-old doesn't need a $200 car. I'm also fully aware that the boxes and wrapping paper will likely bring him the most joy of all - I tell you the giggles that come out of that boy when bubble wrap is involved would melt your heart a thousand times.

So a couple of items before we get to today's linkage. First up, Pickemfirst is offering FFLibrarian readers a 20% discount on their Pro product that I gushed over a few weeks ago. Head on over for a season-long sub for $9.

Also, a little update on the weekly accuracy challenge with FantasyPros.com. Friends, I bombed this week with my start/sit accuracy (probably because I was too busy researching 1st birthday presents) so it's clear I had nothing to do with the fact that we're now 6th overall for the season. There were 683 of who submitted your start/sit picks this week - thank you all! Still plenty of work to do though so be sure to come back and make your start/sit votes when the link is up tomorrow.

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
