Actually this post is just supposed to be about relevant player news from the weekend which is sadly now over, but since you brought it up, is there even any debate that Norm MacDonald is hands-down the funniest Weekend Update anchor in SNL history? A quick summary of the competition:

• Chevy Chase: OK, he was funny, and he started it all, but it's hard to see past what a dick he's become lately.
• Jane Curtin: So bad, they had to keep putting Akroyd and Murray on there as co-hosts to save her from bombing.
• Charles Rocket: Who?
• Brad Hall: Not funny, lasted one season (not just on the segment - fired from SNL altogether).
• Christopher Guest: See "Brad Hall."
• Dennis Miller: Weekend Update was the best thing he ever did, which means it was still lame. If you laugh at his jokes even though you don't understand them, you're an even bigger tool than he is.
• Kevin Nealon: Funny, but creepy. It always seemed to me like he was concealing a seething inner rage, bound to snap at the slightest provocation, and that this wasn't part of the act.
• Colin Quinn: It's still unclear how he got this job, and even more baffling that he kept it for three seasons. He always seemed to be suffering from some severe digestive disorder that made it impossible for him to read his lines. Or be funny.
• Tina Fey/Jimmy Fallon/Amy Poehler/Seth Meyers: Frankly, I'm not even sure how SNL is still on the air.

Now I defy you to watch any episode of Weekend Update with Norm MacDonald and not laugh your balls off. He didn't know a damn thing about current events, really couldn't care less, and didn't care if it showed.

ANYdangway, some important stuff happened to a few key players over the weekend...

Ted Ginn Jr. - The rookie's good, and the Fins don't seem afraid to use him, at least in the preseason. Could turn out to be a decent bye week plug-in this season.

Michael Turner - He's got a high ankle sprain, and those can be pesky, but Norv says he'll be OK. Coach apparently isn't all that big of a fan, though:

And, with all due respect to the $2.35 million man, who might be the best backup running back in the NFL, he is No. 2 to No. 21. “If we didn't have LT (LaDainian Tomlinson) and he (Turner) was our starting tailback,” Norv Turner said, “I'd be nervous.”

Darrell Jackson - Tweaked his hamstring; could be questionable for week 1.

Chris Henry (Titans RB) - Bad time to pull a hammy. Henry's been in a battle with LenDale White for the backup RB spot behind Chris Brown, and while there's no word yet on how bad his hamstring is, it probably doesn't matter. Right now it looks likely to be Brown-White-Henry in Tennessee, though the situation is definitely still fluid.

Stephen Gostkowski - He's a borderline starting fantasy kicker anyway, but if you have him on your team, it might concern you that he missed two kicks on Friday, and is 3-for-6 in the preseason. The Pats don't seem worried, but since you probably (correctly) waited until the last round to draft a kicker if you've got Gostkowski on your squad, you might want to check to see if guys like Jason Hanson, Matt Stover, or John Kasay are available on the waiver wire.

Brady Quinn - Officially will not be the starter in week 1.
