Congratulations! If you're still reading this late in the season,
you're likely in your playoffs (and well on your way to winning your league...) We've said all along that it's you guys who make the site what it is. We want to show our appreciation and give you guys some due props. Beginning Monday, we'll be accepting teams for display on our Footballguys Wall of Champions. In this wacky season, making the playoffs is a feat in itself and we'll be displaying teams that make their playoffs as well as league winners. Here's a chance to boast a little and rub it in the faces of your leaguemates who're on the sidelines watching as you battle for the league championship. See the site for details. Joe and David ******************************************* and now onto the news: Quarterbacks in the News: Rob Johnson (Buf) is out. Scott Mitchell (Cin) injured himself in Wednesday's practice and is now doubtful for this weekend. Cincinnati has signed Scott Covington. He will backup Jon Kitna this week. Gus Frerotte (Den) has been placed on I/R and is out for the rest of the season. In related news, the team signed Todd Husak for the remainder of the season. Mark Brunell (Jac) is expected to practice on Thursday. He appears on the injury report as probable with a sore quadriceps. Daunte Culpepper (Min) underwent surgery and is likely lost for the season. Todd Bouman will start in his place. He is nursing a sprained ligament in the thumb of his throwing hand, but is expected to play on Sunday. Jeff Garcia (SF) was held out of practice on Wednesday and may be rested this week. He appears on the injury report as questionable with sore ribs. Jeff would like to play, but coach Steve Mariucci is considering resting Jeff so that he is closer to 100% for the playoffs. This would seem to make sense since the Rams have likely locked up winning the Division. The 49ers believe they will need a healthy, scrambling Jeff Garcia to go deep into the post season. If Jeff does not play, look for Tim Rattay to get the start. Steve McNair (Ten), despite being listed on the injury report as questionable with a sore back is expected to start. ******************************************* Running Backs in the News: Maurice Smith (Atl) continues to battle through cartilage damage in his knee. He is expected to start on Sunday. He appears on the injury report as probable. Terry Allen (Bal) will start for the Ravens this week. Moe Williams will back him up and see plenty of action.
