Up in smoke?!?

The Clinton Portis era is over. At least for us. At least temporarily. With the underachieving Washington running back questionable with a bad knee, we have decided to bench him. In his place is Mr. Blunt himself, Ricky Williams -- making his first appearance of the season for us.

Perhaps it was a move we should have made sooner, as Williams has been a more productive player over the first three weeks of the season.

Also, we officially dumped receivers Eddie Royal and Antonio Bryant. In their place we have added OU/Raven flanker Mark Clayton and Mike Sims-Walker of the Jags. (We added MSW after losing out on waiver prize Pierre Garcon.) And we swapped the Falcons' D for Denver's. Finally, with the Eagles having a bye, we temporarily waived kicker David Akers in favor of Lawrence Tynes (Giants). We will bring Akers back next week.

We are 2-1 on the season.

Suicide Pool/Last Man Standing Update: Heading into week four, we are still alive (as is The Playmaker). We are going with the Giants over the Chiefs and The Playmaker is taking the Colts over the Seahawks.
