The Waiver
Wire Report |

Quarterbacks
Surprise, surprise.. Kyle Boller, Kerry Collins, Shaun King and Drew Bledsoe all
finished in or near the top 12 this week. Vinny Testaverde and Josh McCown got
benched. Jeff Garcia left the game early with a shoulder sprain. Matt Hasselbeck
sat out as Trent Dilfer started and led the Seahawks to a win over the Dolphins.
Drew Henson (Dal) - It looks like it's Henson time the rest of the
season. The Cowboys QB of the future should become the QB of the present now
after he took over for a struggling Vinny Testaverde Sunday. The Cowboys might
as well groom Henson and rookie RB Julius Jones and build for next year. Henson
adds a new dimension to the Cowboys offense. Unlike Testaverde, he can run and
make plays when nothing is there downfield. In his first appearance Henson
completed all 6 passes for 47 yds, 1 TD and also
ran for 7 yds - against the Ravens defense. Not
bad at all for a debut, albeit brief.
Shaun King (Ari) - King was a surprise
starter this week after Denny Green pulled the
plug on Josh McCown just prior to Sunday's loss
to the Carolina Panthers. King put up big
yardage (343) but made 4 turnovers while doing
it. It's premature to call him the starter the
rest of the season given his lackluster
performance. John Navarre could also wind
up seeing some game action before the season's
over if Green doesn't want to go back to McCown.
If King remains the starter he has some value
but he'll need to cut down the turnovers to have
any legitimate chance of keeping the job and
providing any value to your team and lineup.
Eli Manning (NYG) - Manning struggled
in his first start and figures to be a hot/cold
player as he gains experience. It'd be a stretch
to pick him up and expect him to contribute as a
starter in your lineup. However, he might produce a couple worthy games the rest of the
season. The Giants have enough talent around him
despite a pretty bad offensive line. If he gets
any protection, which is asking quite a bit, he
could put up decent numbers. It's doubtful that
he'll be a consistent performer until next year
or even beyond.
Kyle Boller (Bal) - Believe it or not,
Boller is starting to produce. Two weeks in a
row isn't enough to put him in the lineup ahead
of better players, but it's good to see
something out of him. If Todd Heap rejoins the
team in the next couple weeks, Boller could be a
pleasant surprise down the stretch as a solid
backup and potential spot starter if you get
into a bind.
Kerry Collins (Oak) - If Collins is
hanging around for some reason in your league
then he might be the best option you have. Now
that Curry and Gabriel are healthy again along
with Wheatley, Zereoue and Fargas all healthy
for the first time since pre-season, Collins
could put together a nice finish to the season.
Not nice enough to be an impact fantasy QB in
all likelihood but he does have the potential to
average over 220 yds a game with 1-2 TDs a game.
If he can just keep those dreaded turnovers to a
minimum he could be a solid backup and guy to
stash just in case you need a QB during the
playoffs.
Drew Bledsoe (Buf) - If Bledsoe is out
there, you might consider adding him for depth.
He has a little value but mostly in games where
he won't face a huge pass rush and he'll have
time to set up and pick apart the defense. He
can still do that as good as anyone, but he
won't elude the rush and the Bills o-line isn't
likely to get better anytime this season. If you
pick your spots, Bledsoe might be worth a look.
Otherwise, he's barely a middle of the road QB
at this point meaning his fantasy value is
minimal even if you pick your spots.
Patrick Ramsey (Was) - Ramsey doesn't
look like he'll be of much use to anyone this
year. The entire Redskins offense continues to
be in a funk. But at least he's a starting QB in
the NFL which is saying something I guess.
Depending just how bad the free agent lot of QBs
is in your league you might consider adding him
though he was probably snatched up in most
leagues last week.
Quincy Carter (NYJ) - Carter managed
just 116 yards and a TD against the Browns this
week, so cool your Jets if your looking for
Carter to give your team a boost. Not likely.
There's a chance Pennington might not be able to
return if his knee requires arthroscopic
surgery, which Chris Mortensen suggested Sunday
morning. Either way, Carter may be helpful if
you need depth or want to add another starting
QB before your league freezes rosters for the
playoffs.
A.J. Feeley (Mia) - Feeley actually
put up decent numbers this week against a solid
Seahawks pass defense. He ran for a TD while
throwing for over 200 yds and a TD - even
driving the team down field late in the 4th
quarter to tie the game with a FG. Granted, he
fumbled and threw an interception - and we're
still talking about the Dolphins.. but like
Carter, Ramsey and Boller above you might
consider adding a 3rd QB for security and depth
if your league freezes rosters going into the
playoffs.
Rodney Peete (Car), Kelly Holcomb (Bal) and Trent
Dilfer (Sea) are each worth a look if you
have Jake Delhomme, Jeff Garcia or Matt Hasselbeck. Otherwise,
you need not bother. Dilfer didn't do much but
he was facing a tough Dolphins pass defense.
Holcomb likely returns to his backup role unless
Garcia's shoulder keeps him sidelined next week,
too. Peete relieved Delhomme in the 4th
quarter but that's no indication that Delhomme
will miss next week's game because of his broken
finger or not. Just follow the news here at FBG
and be prepared to act on one of these guys if
you have one of the starters and they're not
able to play.
Mike McMahon (Det) - Joey Harrington
is getting a lot of pressure to produce and
McMahon earned more practice time leading up to
the Vikings game. It's harder and harder trying
to defend Joey but there are plenty of mistakes
being made by others on the Lions offense and
some of their woes are not related to him.
Regardless, he produced just 91 passing yds and
he continues to be inconsistent with his
accuracy. At the same time, he made a couple
throws for big plays that were dropped or a near
TD that was brought back because of a penalty.
That said, McMahon is a pipe dream. He's
athletic, can run as good as anyone, but he
could throw the ball into the ocean if he was
standing on the beach. Still, the Lions players
are losing faith in Harrington and Mooch could
turn to McMahon at any time if Harrington
doesn't pick it up. He got of a nice start on
Sunday, but was basically a non-factor the rest
of the way.
Running Backs
Let's preface the RB this week with a quick
note on injuries.. Curtis Martin, Ahman Green,
Sammy Morris, Jamal Lewis, Chris Brown, Brad
Hoover and Priest Holmes all have injuries to
various degrees. Some missed the week 11 games
while others like Martin, Green, Lewis and
Morris started but didn't finish. The decisions
you make regarding waivers this week will likely
be due to the fallout from the eventual news
that comes out on the severity of injuries
suffered to each player. That said, there is a
lot of potential for teams to pick up some good
production off the waiver wire this week at the
RB position. First, you need to check who is out
there in your league. Second, figure out which
one of the players will miss next week or
longer. Third, try to acquire the player with
the biggest potential bang for your lineup.
Julius Jones (Dal) - Surprise! Jones
was activated on Sunday and now looks like he's
going to be the featured back for the rest of
the season for the Cowboys. It's something
everyone expected after draft day, but never
materialized because Eddie George was signed and
he was hurt in the pre-season. Jones carried the
ball 30 times for 81 yards against the Ravens.
Look for him to get every opportunity to produce
the rest of the way and if he's out there in
your league - grab him if you can.
Derrick Blaylock (KC) - Blaylock will
start for the Chiefs on MNF and could be the
starter for the Chiefs for the next couple games
- or possibly a little longer. There were some
rumors that Priest Holmes could miss the rest of
the season, but that doesn't appear to be true
yet. At least Dick Vermeil says Priest could be
back in a week or two. Either way, he's probably
the best bet that's potentially out there
playing behind the Chiefs line. Blaylock could
be a top 5 fantasy back until Priest is back and
if you can capitalize on this, all the better.
Nick Goings (Car) - Holy cow! Goings
is giving everyone visions of Reuben Droughns
part two after his breakout performance this
week against Arizona. Like Droughns, Goings has
been more of a fullback, but he's emerged over
the last two weeks as possibly the Panthers best
back and potentially their lead tailback for the
rest of the season. He rushed for 121 yds on 22
carries scoring 3 TDs and catching 3 passes for
21 yards. He's the #1 fantasy back of the week
heading into the Sunday night game. Brad
Hoover could still get a share of the
carries but at this point John Fox looks like
he's found his lead back. Let's just hope he
stays healthy unlike the rest of the Panthers
RBs this year.
Chester Taylor (Bal) - Jamal Lewis left the game in the 1st quarter
with an ankle injury and Musa Smith
broke his leg after relieving him. In a flash the Ravens ground game was
narrowed down to Chester Taylor and - well - Chester Taylor. He didn't have a
big game rushing for just 33 yards on 15 carries, but he scored. He's also a
good receiver out of the backfield, so the good thing to know here is if Lewis
misses any time at all - Taylor is a guy who can play all three downs. He lacks
the size most scouts want in a feature back, but he's capable of filling in for
a few weeks and carry the load. At this point, Lewis's injury doesn't appear to
be serious. He lobbied to return to the game (unsuccessfully) and proclaimed
himself good to go next week following the game. Whether or not that is true
remains to be seen and we at FBG will be tracking this closely for you all week.
Either way, if Lewis doesn't play next week, Taylor is at or near
the top of the waiver list if he's out there. If Lewis plays, Taylor's still
worth grabbing but obviously has the most value to the owner who currently has
Lewis. Now that Musa Smith is out of the picture, Chester is the guy if Lewis
doesn't play.
Lamont Jordan (NYJ) - Jordan got the
ball as much as Curtis Martin this week after
Martin tweaked his knee against
the Browns. He had 73 yds on 18 carries while
catching 1 pass for 11 yards. With the Jets
defense playing well look for Herman Edwards to
lean more heavily on their ground game than
usual, especially with Quincy Carter at the
helm. Jordan could be in line for 10 to 20
touches any given Sunday while Pennington is on
the sideline. If the Jets are going to go
anywhere in the playoffs, they'll need a healthy
and fresh Curtis Martin. That means a healthy
dose of Lamont Jordan for the near future. Rank
him accordingly and grab him if you can.
Antowain Smith (Ten) - Smith stepped
in for Chris Brown this week and ran for 95 yds
on 24 yard with 1 TD and 3 catches for 14 yds.
It's hard to guess if Brown will play next week
or not. If I were a betting man, I'd say he'll
be back next week or the week following. The
most difficult part of figuring out where Smith
falls on the priority of waiver wire RBs likely
to be available is knowing if Brown will play or
not. If Smith starts, he's worth a roster spot
and potentially could be in your lineup. He's a
great add if you own Brown and have a roster
spot worth securing the Titans running game at a
minimum.
Tony Fisher & Najeh Davenport (GB) -
Ahman Green left Sunday night's game early with
a rib injury, returned briefly and then left
again for good. X-Rays apparently came back
negative so at this point it's tough to say if
he'll miss a game or not. My gut instinct would
say he'll be questionable for week 12 and could
even be a game-time decision. Beyond that, until
we know specifically more information from the
team and the medical staff, it's in your best
interest to go grab Fisher or Davenport, if you
can. Walter Williams played briefly and
had a few nice runs, but he was also knocked out
of the game with an injury leaving Fisher to
handle the running chores all by himself in the
2nd half. Davenport was out because of a
hamstring injury already.
If Ahman Green misses any time, Fisher and Davenport both benefit greatly.
However, with Davenport less than 100% Fisher
looks like the best bet at this moment. In all
likelihood both players would have a bigger role
and would split carries on some level. Whether
Mike Sherman would stick with one as a primary
back, or give them equal touches, it's hard to
guess. The next two games are against St. Louis
and Philly. Both are good rushing matchups for
the packers so if Fisher starts either or both
games, he'll likely have a decent impact
depending on how much he shares the ball with
Davenport or Williams.
Travis Minor (Mia) - The way the
Dolphins season has gone, hang around a bit, you
never know. Minor could be starting at RB for
them in a week or two. Sammy Morris got his ribs
dinged up a bit this week, too. This resulted in
Minor carrying the ball 13
times this week for 37 yard while catching 4
passes 13 yards. Right now, it's Sammy Morris
and Minor could both get the ball for
the Dolphins depending on how severe Morris's
injury turns out. A rib injury for a back could
be minor, or force them to miss a few weeks. If
that turns out to be the case then Minor
definitely moves up the list quite a bit in
terms of waiver wire priority.
Maurice Hicks (SF) - As expected Hick
spelled Barlow this week and once again did more
with his touches than Barlow. Hicks combined for
73 yards while catching 3 passes to go with his
7 carries. He's not going to take the job over
or anything, but Dennis Erickson is going to
keep using him in a limited role and spell
Barlow accordingly. Erickson basically said that
Hicks will continue to get carries and if he
gets into the game and gets hot, then he might
decide to stick with him for a series or two.
Either way, he's worth a look because he has
potential to touch the ball 10 times each week
and perhaps more if he gets hot.
Ernest Graham (TB) - Just noting that
Jamel White was cut from the Bucs leaving Graham
as the primary backup to Michael Pittman. Mike
Alstott would certainly figure into the Bucs
running game in a significant role if Pittman is
hurt, but Graham would also see a big role.
Graham got 4 carries this week and tallied 27
yds.
Tatum Bell (Den) - The job is obviously Reuben Droughns now and that's
not going to change unless injury strikes. In that event, Bell's value would
skyrocket and on that thought alone you might want to throw the dice. Bell's
probably not available in most leagues just for that reason alone. Despite being
something of a bust most people who drafted him are simply to stubborn to give
up hope that he'll still have some redeeming value. You know how it goes. As
soon as you cut him, then Droughns would surely get hurt. After all, it's the
system not the backs that make this a fantasy hotbed for RBs.
Moe Williams (Min) - Ironically,
Williams is producing more now that Bennett and
Smith are both back than at any time of this
season when one or both were hurt. That's
because Williams was also slowed by injuries.
Moe is like Mr. Reliable though. He's a good
goal-line, 3rd down and change of pace back. If
you are in a TD only league and he's still
available, you'd be wise to grab him. He may not
produce a lot of yards but he could score 3-4
TDs in the rest of the season.
Wide Receivers
Travis Taylor (Bal) - Taylor caught 6
passes for 68 yards this week and has produced
at least useful numbers in almost every game
he's started since he returned from injury. It's
possible he could lose targets if/when Heap
returns to the lineup but for now he's producing
good enough to warrant starting as your 3rd WR.
Clarence Moore also remains a solid
option as a waiver wire grab for the Ravens
though he was held to just 1 catch this week
after catching 2 TDs a week ago. Three of the
next four games appear to be favorable matchups
for the Ravens passing attack. So, both Taylor
and Moore could give you an immediate help if
you're decimated by injuries in your WR corps.
Jerry Rice (Sea) - Rice got the
starting nod over Koren Robinson this week and produced 86
yds on 3 catches with a TD and another 21 yds on
a reverse. With a suspension looming for Koren
Robinson, Rice's name once again pops into our
minds as a potentially good waiver wire pickup.
It's hard to expect any consistency from him,
but he looked good this week and could have as
much or more impact than any other free agent WR
at this point in the season. Once you get past
Buffalo this coming week, Rice could be VERY
productive against Dallas, Minnesota and
possibly the Jets. If you need a solid pickup at
WR for weeks 13 and 14, Rice is a good looking
candidate.
Andre Davis (Cle) - Davis is getting
healthy again and once he's back to 100% could
be a solid addition to your lineup as a #3 WR.
The Browns passing offense has been sputtering
for the most part this season and Garcia left
this week's game early with a shoulder injury.
Davis might've been cut by an impatient owner in
your league due to injuries. If so, make a
speculative waiver claim on him and hope he can
give your WR corps a boost.
Deion Branch (NE) - Branch is getting healthy each week and should
rejoin the Patriots starting lineup by week 12 or 13 at the latest. Branch could
be a player that could heat up in the playoff weeks. If you can get him still,
do it and hope he's provides you with a bang off your bench in the coming weeks.
David Terrell (Chi) - While Terrell continues to be an idiot off the
field and scarcely productive on it - he's still worth a look. He caught 3
passes for 76 yards this week and also drew an interference penalty that got the
Bears another 20+ yards this week. Justin Gage is likely to get more
playing time down the stretch as well. The Bears schedule is very favorable, but
whether or not Craig Krenzel can get anything going remains the limiting factor.
Jerome Pathon (NO) - Pathon is worth a
roster spot but isn't likely to have any major
impact. Aaron Brooks is sporadic and a pain in
the neck to rely on as a fantasy owner. If you
have any of the Saints players you have to feel
the frustration. Brooks continues to make
terrible decisions that result in turnovers and
losses for the Saints. Still, Pathon is in the
mix and has been productive in spots, but he's
not likely to break out and be much more than a
4th or 5th WR on your roster providing quality
depth.
Joe Jurevicius & Joey Galloway (TB)
-
It was only a matter of time before Jurevicius
and Galloway made an impact for the Bucs.
Jurevicius did so this week catching 2 TDs with
5 catches on the day for 82 yards. The Bucs have
an inviting schedule the rest of the season so
add Jurevicius and Galloway if you can. Michael
Clayton remains the top WR in Tampa, but he will
make things easier for these two because
defenses are adjusting to the talented rookie.
The toughest part about getting Jurevicius
and/or Galloway will be playing them on the
right weeks. As mentioned, Clayton is still the
go-to guy and the Bucs are suddenly running the
ball much better than in previous years. Either
one of these two WRs has a good chance to
breakout any given week, but trying to find
consistency from them may be on the wishful
side. You still have to like the schedule and
that doesn't do anything but help their chances.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh & Kelley Washington (Cin) - One or both of these
guys are probably available in most leagues and each one has the potential to
put up decent numbers any given week. Washington as a world of talent but hasn't
been able to turn into production on game days. He flashed his ability this week
as Palmer connected with him on a 19 yd TD strike against the Steelers. Both
players have good size and speed. If Palmer shows some growth and produces
better numbers down the stretch either one of these guys could be a solid player
to have in the last 6 weeks.
Antwaan Randle-El & Lee Mays (Pit)
- Plaxico Burress could reportedly miss the
next two weeks with a pulled hamstring that
forced him out of Sunday's game against the
Bengals early. Here's the
Steelers post-game quotes from Bill Cowher.
"“We had a few injuries, I must
get to that. Plax (Plaxico Burress) had a
hamstring; I’m not sure how long that is going
to be. He didn’t feel it pop, which is a good
thing. It could be a couple of weeks." The
fallout of Plaxico missing a couple weeks mean
Randle-El and Mays will get increased
opportunities as far as playing time, targets
and obviously the potential for bigger fantasy
stats. Don't get too crazy though. The next two
games are against Washington and Jacksonville,
both of which have solid defenses. The Steelers
could opt to keep Randle-El in the slot and move
Mays into the starting lineup outside opposite
Ward. Keep an eye on this to determine who the
best player to acquire will be. I don't think
it's a slam dunk that it's Randle-El. He could
see the biggest increase in targets without
replacing Plaxico outside in the starting
lineup. The starting distinction may go to Mays,
but Randle-El should see an increase in targets
regardless of how it shakes out.
Bobby Engram (Sea) - Engram also
figures to benefit if/when Koren Robinson is
suspended which could come down at any time.
Engram would probably remain in the slot with
Jerry Rice starting. Either way, he's worth
rostering in deeper leagues and could be fairly
reliable.
Terrance Cooper (Dal) - Cooper apparently is getting a long look from
Bill Parcells now that they're playing for jobs next year. Cooper caught 3
passes for 44 yards this week and should continue to get playing time along with
fellow young Cowboys WRs Randall Williams and Patrick Crayton.
Pick up and play possibilities
An early look at some of this week's
possible sleepers..
David Terrell (Chi at DAL) - Cowboys
have allowed 14 TDs to WRs in 10 games. Terrell
is the Bears best big play threat and after
coming off a 3-76-0 week he could be prime for
another solid/strong effort. Bobby Wade
should also draw consideration.
Marty Booker (Mia at SF) - The
Dolphins WRs look good this week against the
49ers, who've allowed 12 TDs to opposing WRs.
Joe Jurevicius scored 2 TDs against them. The
49ers secondary is hurtin' for certain.
Shaun McDonald (Stl at GB) - McDonald
caught 6 passes for 72 yards this week and the
Rams face the Packers next week. Green Bay is a
great matchup for WRs - 11 TDs in 9 games going
into Sunday night's game against Houston. Torry
Holt has also been banged up two games in a row.
McDonald has the potential to take the ball to
the house any time he touches it. If he gets
increased opportunity via injury, then his value
obviously increases. If not, he's still a decent
gamble as a plug-in player because of his
big-play potential.
Clarence Moore (Bal at NE) - The
Patriots soft spot - if there really is one -
has been giving up big plays defensively. Moore
has shown he can be a downfield threat with
Travis Taylor a worthy possession WR. They are
still impacted by injuries so Boller, Taylor
and/or Moore could all be a pleasant surprise.
Eric Parker (SD at KC) - The Chiefs
allowed 9 TDs to WRs through 9 games. There
isn't a lot of room for production some times
when you're behind Antonio Gates, Tomlinson and
McCardell in line. The Chiefs secondary is
pretty bad though - no surprise there - and it's
a good spot for a player like Parker to
potentially surprise.
Eddie Berlin (Ten at HOU) - Texans
have allowed 16 TDs (going into Sunday night's
game) to opposing WRs this year. Berlin has 1 TD
this year and there's an outside chance he could
get his 2nd this week.
Tight Ends
Mark Campbell (Buf) - Wow. Campbell
has sporadic this year as a potential fantasy
TE, but this week he exploded catching 3 TDs - 4
catches on the game - for 37 yards. Don't expect
him to do this again any time soon, but he's
proving to be a consideration as a spot starter
or gamble play some weeks. Otherwise, don't make
him your starter just because he caught 3 TDs
this week.
Stephen Alexander (Det) - Alexander has been fairly consistent the
past few weeks as the Lions WR corps continues to struggle with injuries. Add
him for depth and as a possible starter if the matchups is beneficial.
Aaron Shea (Cle) - Shea continues to
be fairly consistent and worthy of a roster in
some leagues. He's best as a backup and not
consistent or productive enough to win you games
as a starter, but he's worth adding to the
roster for insurance before rosters get frozen.
Darnell Dinkins (Bal) - Daniel Wilcox
has been the guy with Todd Heap out of the
lineup, but Dinkins was the one who stepped up
this week catching 3 passes for 40 yds and a TD.
Don't look for that to happen again. Heap is
expected back any week now.
Teyo Johnson (Oak) - It's been rumored
for the past couple weeks that Teyo would be
getting more playing time. This week he took
advantage of it and caught a TD. Now, if he can
just build on that. Otherwise, there's still
nothing to see here but it's worth noting we've
officially had our 1st Teyo Johnson sighting
since the pre-season.
Pick up and play possibilities
An early look at some of this week's
possible sleepers..
Jeb Putzier (Den) - Obviously Antonio
Gates doesn't have a problem getting open
against Oakland. Putzier is a pretty consistent
TE. He ranks right on the cusp between starter
and good backup. Against the Raiders who have
allowed 8 TDs in 9 games to opposing TEs - half
of those are Gates.
Stephen Alexander (Det) - Alexander
caught a TD last week and if his hands don't let
him down on Thanksgiving Day he should have a
good opportunity to put up decent numbers again.
The Lions WR corps remains beat up and
struggling to be productive. Harrington also
look for his TE frequently and will almost
certainly be throwing a good portion of this
game. At least after the first drive when the
Lions focus on running the ball. Once Manning
gets the ball - and scores - the Lions will need
to throw to keep up.
Kickers
Rian Lindell had a good week, but I
wouldn't recommend riding him as a fantasy
kicker. Without spending a great deal of effort
on kickers, the best advice is to peruse your
free agents available and go with the one on the
best team with a reasonable amount of accuracy.
Gary Anderson, Morten Anderson and John
Carney are lingering out there in a couple
leagues I'm in.. while in others Josh Scobee,
Martin Gramatica and Jay Feely look
like the best available in others.
Defense / Special Teams
Looking ahead at the week 12 matchups, you
might consider doing a plug and play with these
defenses..
Dallas Cowboys - Craig Krenzel on the
slate this week. Enough said. Even though Dallas
stinks this year, chances are, their defense
isn't available in most leagues.
Indianapolis Colts - at Detroit on
Thanksgiving. The Lions are getting better
production on the ground with Kevin Jones the
last couple weeks, but Joey Harrington isn't
producing. Still, he doesn't get sacked a lot so
the Colts a bit of a risky play on the road
especially on Detroit's turkey day home game.
Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals are getting a very good pass rush
lately and their secondary is playing very well. The Browns could be without
Jeff Garcia and their offensive line remains horrible at the guard position. The
Bengals are at home and could be a nice sleeper start this week.
San Francisco 49ers - Nothing to write
home about here, but the will be playing at home
against the Dolphins. That's worth consideration
on it's own merit as a possible one-week option.

--
On a personal note, my wife and I are less
than 3 weeks away from becoming parents. We're
having a baby girl and our due date is December
9th. I can tell you with near certainty that it
will happen no later than the 9th, but it could
very well come early. So, as a friendly
head's up.. If one of my weekly articles aren't
delivered on time in the new few weeks, you know
why. There's only one reason. We'll be welcoming
Sofia Noelle into the world shortly and
obviously my life will change dramatically when
that time comes. I'll still be here at FBG and
hoping to fulfill my weekly articles, but it
might not be as easy as I hope, so just in case
there are any questions or concerns - I wanted
to give everyone an upfront notice.
Thanks in advance to all of you FBG
subscribers and good luck to everyone this
week and the rest of the season.
Happy Thanksgiving!
