Only in Australia

Alright, sorry this has nothing to do with fantasy football, but it's still sort of sports related. I was watching SportsCenter right now and saw a quick snippet of a video with a kangaroo on a race track, so I had to find it for you. While it's not quite the same as Ocho Cinco racing a horse, it's still pretty insane.

Trent Green's concussion looked bad, but...

I'm not sure if you were able to see video of Trent Green's concussion-causing hit this weekend, but in case you didn't, you can see it right here:

Week 5: Last minute injury update

To all those wondering whether to start Laurence Maroney or not, you can put him on the bench. Maroney has been declared inactive for the game this afternoon, so get Sammy Morris or another backup running back into your lineup.

Ask the Geeks: Week 5

Dan asks: Andre Davis (vs. Miami, should start with Andre Johnson and Jacoby Jones still out) or Darrell Jackson (vs. Baltimore)? Miami's D has been bad, but that's because of their run defense (ranked 32nd), not their pass defense (ranked 2nd). Jackson hasn't been great, and he's up against Baltimore with a new QB, so I'm leaning away from him.

Brandon's take: I would go with Andre Davis this week after the way he seemed to mesh with Matt Schaub last week (117 yards and a TD). It seems that Schaub only needs one "go to" guy each week, and due to injury troubles with Andre Johnson and Jacoby Jones, that guy is Davis. Jackson is on one of my teams and is yet to impress me. I see much more upside with Davis.

Travis Henry to be suspended?

It appears that Ricky Williams is not the only NFL running back to enjoy his Mary Jane. Denver Bronco's running back Travis Henry, the current NFL leader in rushing yards, is in danger of being suspended for a year for violating the league's substance abuse program.

The Frerotte era in St. Louis?

Although it is obviously not the "Gus Frerotte Era" in St. Louis, it will be Frerotte's team for the next couple weeks while Bulger rides the pine, trying to heal some of his wounds (broken ribs, sore knee, hurt shoulder, etc). Bulger has been a sitting duck the past few weeks with the offensive line in disarray, something you don't want to say about a quarterback your team just gave a huge contract extension to. Frerotte has been a journeyman throughout his career and has proven to be a decent backup in his time with Washington, Detroit, Denver, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Miami, and now St. Louis, but he's probably most famous for his self-caused concussion while playing for the Redskins.

Non-football related post of the moment: TV Show Reviews

I originally wrote this post for my own personal blog, but I figured that I might as well share it with all of our devoted readers as well, just in case they were also fans of non-sports related television. Just to let you know, I'm an easily amused guy, so it doesn't take much to get a good review from me, so here you go...

Who will falter first?

At this point in the season, there remains four teams at the 4-0 mark. While the 1972 Dolphins aren't shaking in their boots quite yet, I bet they watch highlights of the Patriots, Colts and Cowboys games (probably not Green Bay games, although they are currently undefeated as well) each week wondering "Could this be the year?" At this point, if only because the AFC is deemed a tougher conference currently, the Patriots seem to be the front runners in the "Who will go 16-0 Sweepstakes?" this season. Tom Brady and Randy Moss form the best quarterback-receiver duo in the NFL, but not too far behind is the Tony Romo to Terrell Owens connection...and then maybe right behind that is Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne (I think Marvin Harrison is getting old). The great part for the 72 'Fins is that the following games will take place this season:

Waiver-Wire Pickups, Keeper Sleepers and Spot Starts: Week 5

Let me warn you that when you read the names on the Quarterback section of this column, you're going to start laughing.

As for the WR and RB's though, they should make solid additions to your team, so here are your waiver wire, spot start and keeper sleeper alerts for week 6...

The return of Ricky Williams?

Now that week 4 is officially in the books, it's time to start looking at players who are eligible to return from suspension, and what bigger name did you need than weed-man extraordinaire, Ricky Williams. Williams has apparently applied for reinstatement to the league after spending some time a) being suspended from the league (for the 4th time!) for his habitual marijuana use, b) vacationing in India and Australia, where he was practicing yoga or something, and c) playing football in the Canadian Football League.
