  • Ram’s Steven Jackson *Will* Play; Cowboys Jason Witten Doubtful

    November 2nd, 2008 | By InGameNow Posted in NFL

    Fantasy football alert folks:

    Start St. Louis Rams dreaded running back Steven Jackson
    He will play and has a great match up against the Arizona Cardinals:

    ESPN’s John Clayton reports that Steven Jackson (thigh) is likely to play, needing only to pass the “team test” in order to be active. Jackson said on his Web site, “I am playing,” on Saturday, so chances are he will be out there in some form. (11:00 a.m. ET)

    Avoid Dallas Cowboys tight End Jason Witten
    He will try to play but experts doubt he will have any impact or play any significant time… Additionally, his New York Giants competition is pretty damn good:

    ESPN Fantasy: ESPN’s John Clayton reports that he doubts Jason Witten (ribs) will play, though the tight end will “give it a try” during the pregame warmup. Witten did make the trip to New York with the team, but he remains a long shot to play. (11:01 a.m. ET)

  • Breaking: Tony Romo will NOT Start for Dallas Cowboys

    October 18th, 2008 | By InGameNow Posted in NFL

    Attention Fantasy Football fans and owners of Tony Romo (including myself): Tony Romo will NOT be starting for the Cowboys tomorrow. Romo will indeed be active - but Brad Johnson will be the starter and Tony Romo will be on the bench (only playing if absolutely necessary).

    Good fantasy football grabs should you need it:

    - Gus Frerotte against weak Chicago Bears secondary
    - Jamarcus Russell against weak NY Jets secondary


  • Jerry Jones, You’ve Just Crossed Over Into…The Al Davis Zone

    October 18th, 2008 | By Sean Finerty Posted in NFL

    *dee dee dee do dee dee dee do dee dee dee do dee dee dee do*

    You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension; a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You are moving into a land of both shadow and substance of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into the Al Davis Zone.

    Things in Oakland weren’t always in turmoil. From 2000 to 2002, they had a Pro Bowl quarterback in Rich Gannon and 3 straight AFC West divisional titles. They even made it as far as the Super Bowl in 2002, before being stopped by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and former Raider head coach, Jon Gruden.

    But since then, the Raiders haven’t managed more than 5 wins in a season. This is about the same time as Al Davis went off the deep end. Since the start of the 2003 season, Davis has gone through five head coaches. It’s gotten so bad that the Oakland head coaching gig is so undesired that I think I - with absolutely zero organized football experience - have a decent shot at the job if I wanted it. Sorry, Mr. Davis, I don’t. The current state of the Raiders makes the other team across the Bay look like they’ve got it all together.

    So what does this have to do with Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones? Well, Jones is headed that direction - he’s about to cross over into the Al Davis zone. Sure, the Cowboys are one of the NFL’s best teams…now. But we’re starting to see Jerry Jones meddle with the team - interfering with head coach Wade Phillips’s ability to do his job. Phillips wants to rest quarterback Tony Romo and his broken finger, cautious to prevent further injury that could result in season-ending surgery. As for Jones? He says Romo is playing. Starting to see a parallel here?

    Just wait - Phillips will crumble under Jones’ pressure, Romo will play this weekend, only to find the injury get worse and lead to possible hand amputation. The Cowboys fall off dramatically, and can only muster 4 wins next year. Jones will be forced to trade newly acquired wide receiver Roy Williams to the San Diego Chargers for a 6th round pick, a la the Raiders shipping Randy Moss to the Patriots. And, of course, expect a coaching carousel for one of the league’s proudest franchises.

    Take note, Robert Kraft.
