 Fantasy Football
Talk about your prohibitive favorites: With months to go before kickoff, common wisdom has LaDainian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson finishing as the NFL’s 2008 rushing leaders; because of that, most figure the two will be the top couple picks in fantasy drafts. How favored are they? Check out this bookmaker, who doesn't even bother to post odds ...

RUN DMC In the Mac is must see TV!
Think Marshall Faulk Type numbers, if LaMont Jordan: 159Yds vs denver and LaMont Jordan: 121Yds vs browns.
What do you think is going to happen when one of the fastest baccks ever to the whoe is his replacement
Oh and remember
OAK Dominic Rhodes: 115Yds vs jags
OAK Dominic Rhodes: 122Yds vs chargers
Our backs go 4 yards before there touched ask huggy bears kid
OAK Justin Fargas: 146Yds
OAK Justin Fargas: 179Yds
1009 on 222 attemps?
4.5 for Fargas = 6.5-8.5 for Run DMC
he's going to get a minimum of 250 carries x 4 is 1,000
x 5 is 1,250 x 6 is 1,500 plus plus plus this guy is plus!
then his 35-45 receptions for a 15 yard avg = 675 yards recieving !
call it 8 tds on the ground 5 though the air for 13 I'll take that vs LT's 15 he'll put up this year!

The LT thing needs to stop. Brian Westbrook should be the number one back in every league. More balls are thrown his way and his performance only gets better as the season wears on.

LT's production went way up toward the end of last season. Until the bye, he wasn't much of anything. As far as all this Adrian Peterson buzz goes, I like Westbrook better than him, for sure. Not Tomlinson, but Peterson has one fantastic season. Yes, it was his rookie season, but it could be an abberation. Tomlinson and Westbrook are time-tested. on top of that (and Westbrook shares this concern to some degree) I worry about injuries that decrease Peterson's stock enough to drop him out of my top 3. Not only the knee he suffered last year (knees are hard to rehab) but also the collarbone at OU offer potential for him to be out for a couple of games to half a season.
I also don't like Jamal Lewis at number three. I would much prefer Joesph Addai to anybody on the list except Westbrook.
