AFC
The North is a tie at the top of computer competitors with the Steelers and Bengals both at 6-5. Neither team holds the head-to-head tiebreaker as they split their series already. Whichever team doesn't have the division currently holds one of the two wildcard spots though.
The Jags (awwjayzin) and Titans (Ivan Hood) are both 7-4 atop the South and again, they split their series already. Whoever misses out on the division is in a solid position to control one of the wild card spots.
The Raiders (seen415) are in control of the West, the only division with all user controlled teams, and has two games of separation from everyone else in securing a first round bye.
The Chargers (JustnCredible29) are just half a game out of a wild card spot, while the Chiefs (pitfallharry219) and Bills (Galego23) are also within striking distance.
NFC
The Cowboys (xX Anthem) have a firm hold over the East at 8-3.
Another CPU duo is tied atop the NFC North, with the Vikings and Packers holding 7-4 records, although the Vikings won both games in the head-to-head matchup.
Carolina (Static) from the South is the only team that has really separated themselves from the rest of the conference, standing at 10-1 with a three game lead on their closest division rival.
The Cardinals (BigAT) are currently atop the West at 8-3, but effectively hold a two game lead over the second place Seahawks (broadway row) after defeating them in both of their matchups this year.
There is going to be a heated race for the second place team and the bye week that comes with it, as well as the wild card spots for the conference. There are currently two 8-3 teams, four 7-4 teams and a 6-5 team that will all be battling it out for those spots as the year winds down.

Redskins week 4 recap:
In the midst of what was looking to be a long season, luck was on the redskins side for what many people were calling the Wednesday "Game of the Night". The skins put the first points on the board with a 44 yard field goal which bounced off the crossbar and in. Jim Zorn could be seen with a smile a mile wide after what had to be the best thing to happen to the Skins so far this season. That smile went away 15 seconds later when Jeff Garcia threw a 80 yard bomb to Derrick Ward.
The redskins pressured on however and nobody would score again until time expired at the end of the half where Elam kicked his second field goal of the night for 33 yards to make it 7-6. Jim Zorn was seen in the locker room a bit nervous though. While it was a close game, this was far from over and he's seen his share of blow ups and knew this was far from over.
The redskins opened the 3rd quarter with a nice drive which ended with a 20 yard pass to Dallas Clark for the TD. Not having anything to lose, they decide to go for the conversion, and once again Flacco connects with Clark to make it a 7 point lead. Not half a minute later, and Garcia saw his man and threw a 73 yard bomb to Nate Washington to tie it up.
"All I could think of was here we go again," Zorn told reporters after the game. The ball went back and forth in the 4th with no change in score until the Skins got to field goal territory. Jason Elam makes a short 25 yard kick to give his team the lead with a minute to spare. The offense was nervous as the defense took the field again. Garcia went to the air again looking to get the win where Roman Harper made the beautiful interception to secure his team the win.
The happiest person on the team was most likely Flacco. While he was due to get heat from Owens tonight who ended the game with a -1 in yardage, he threw a season low 0 interceptions. When asked about trade rumors, Flacco smiled. "The only trading we're doing tonight is trading our beer of sorrows for a nice bottle of champagne."

Shutout by The Bay
By M.A. Cuff
Amid growing offensive concerns the St. Louis Rams put up an impressive effort in a 28-0 on the road in the rain against the hapless 49ers. Though there wasn't much offense on either side there were big plays and they were made by the Rams. As usual the Rams defense led the way with the first a quarter sack and Fumble return for 23 yards and a TD by R Geathers. Geathers, a rising star at the end position stated "Coach said this is our kind of game, this is the kind of game we need to win. Get out there and get pressure on the QB and stick to your assignments and good things will happen". And good things did happen with only 19 yards on the ground Trent Edwards was forced to go to the air and that cost the 49ers. "There was no balance, no flow for us" coach Singletary lamented "And on top of that Trent was G** Danm under siege!!!!" Edwards was sacked 5 times and at least twice as many times hit. Trent Edwards silhouette is a new on field advertisement. "It was like they had 15 guys out there" stated Edwards. If Edwards isn't going to be protected any better than this the Alex Smith error (not a mistake) will come quick to San Francisco. In the Fourth to cap off the game rookie S.Smith returned an interception for 50 yards and a score. This is the rookies 4th int and third return for a touchdown(incredibly both are second to Asante Samuels 6 ints and 4 touchdowns). The rookie is really taking to his move from corner to FS. "I get little more freedom back there and a lot more responsibility but I'm learning from the vets and trying not to get a big head I've got a long way to go" stated Smith. Well the rooks come a long way since camp and if he continues to play like this a Defensive Rookie of the Year trophy might be in his future.
On offense the Rams were well…. not good actually, Tom Brady is still in the mother of all slumps and the passing game is non existent. The lone bright spot was the 50 yard TD run by Matt forte who powered up the middle broke tackles and had a race with teammate Brandon Marshall into the endzone. “Yeah that was a good run” M4 stated but we still have a long way to go on this side of the ball. The one coaching decision that paid dividends immediately was the move of Reggie Bush to be the primary kick and punt returner. The pay off was a 67 punt return for a touchdown and no fumbles in the pouring rain. Bush looked like a goal line back shaking off tackles and breaking to the outside where few in the NFL can catch him from behind. "there’s a lot of homerun hitters on this offense but we have to start helping the defense a lot more and we have the weapons to do it" stated coach Spagnuolo we need sustained drives and good sound offense. I expect alot of good hard practices this week this is unacceptable!". That was from the winning coach I'll leave you with the coach Singletary’s final comment when asked what could have gotten these guys up to play better against the Rams today? "I don't think Jessica Alba running through the showers naked could have got these guys up today!" Viva Viagra coach Viva Viagra!

Early Season Report:
Its week 3 of the NFL season and now that the Veterans have gotten back into the grove and the Rookies have a some NFL experience under their belt, lets take look at who is hot and who is not.
Quarterback
Some unusual faces are sitting atop of the league, Titans QB Jay Cutler(Ivan Hood) has gotten of to a hot start throwing for 772 yards in just 3 games. Although leading the league in Passing his accuracy is 2nd class as he has thrown the same amount of INTs as he has TDs with 4.
Familiar face Payton Manning(CPU) rounds out third spot delivering 642 yards 6 TD and only one interception.
Running Backs
Willie Parker(CPU) leads the league in rushing for the Packers just breaking 200 yards total last game. He also have 2 TD.
Pierre Thomas (CPU)is just under Parker with 197 yards with 2 touchdowns. Although it has taken Thomas 27 more attempts to reach the same stats has Parker.
Wide Receiver
Joe Walsh (CPU), Marques Colston (Static) and Vincent Jackson are tied for receiving TD. Racking up, 241, 246, 261 yards receptively.
The Cards are the biggest surprise on the defensive side of the ball. Leading the league in both INT and Force Fumbles they show flashes of being the new 85' Team.

Looking to avenge their loss in week 2, the Cardinals came out with a vengeance and dropped a beating on the unsuspecting Colts. Jason Campbell had a turn around game, throwing 2 TDs and, more importantly, no interceptions.
Asante Samuel continued his push for defensive player of the year honors, snatching an absurd three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns. Samuel has now had an interception return for a touchdown in all three games to begin the season.
Final score: 45-7 Cards

Press Conference -AP Writer JStryke
Looking a little distraught, Jim Zorn cleared his throat and tapped the microphone to test it. "I only have time for one question tonight seeing as we have a flight leaving tomorrow morning for Detroit. You, in the back. Introduce yourself and ask your question."
The reporter stood up from her chair. "This is Jessica Stryker reporting for JSN Radio. One could see from the game tonight that Joe Flacco could be to blame for your loss to the Rams. What would be the situation regarding his future playing time."
"At this time, it's a little too early to tell. his yardage is a little low for what we'd like it to be, but it's not awful. His biggest problem has been his accuracy. He's still growing at the position, and while I don't think I have to say it, six interceptions in two weeks is horrendous. As far as keeping him as the starter, we will be monitoring his progress. But to make a move this early in the season would be foolish considering our hopes of him becoming the QB of our future. If he continues down this road though, anything is possible and we'll make our move when we feel the time is right. This conference is now over.
We were wanting to reach Joe Flacco for his thoughts on his performance, but was unavailble for comment.
Terrell Owens met with reporters and had this to say. "You can point the finger at him and all this, but it's really unfair. It's really unfair man." Owens starts tearing up. "He's my teammate. He's my quarterback. You guys do that, and it's just unfair. Just unfair man. We lost as a team."
The media suspect that he only defended Flacco due to catching a 80 yard pass for a touchdown.

Old info:
With the arrival of Madden 10 this week I wanted to gauge interest in starting a fantasy draft league.
This league would be comprised of 10-14 teams; I am open to more but would like to get this started soon. A random draft will be held; to join you must have been a member longer than 2 months. The rules will be determined on as problems arise. I would like to get this started within the next week. I am open to accelerated schedules of 2 games per week as well.
