Fantasy Football: We're in the fantasy football playoffs in two of our three leagues. Nearly as cool - we're leading our "salary cap" league in Yahoo. You don't care. We get it. But you might care about four employees at a Texas who lost their jobs because they were playing in a fantasy football league. The company has a strict "no gambling" policy (the league's buy-in was $20), and began to monitor emails. "One of my buddies sent me something about how bad Trent Edwards was playing or something like that. So they called me in and talked to me for about 90 minutes on everything I ever knew about fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills: Terrell Owens played a series or two in the preseason opener against Tennessee, and hasn't been heard from since. His sprained toe will keep him out of this weekend's preseason game. With Marshawn Lynch suspended, Fred Jackson was expected to get the bulk of the carries early. But he suffered some sort of injury to his thumb and left practice Tuesday. Behind those two on the depth chart: Dominic Rhodes and Xavier Omon become the team's top options, though we'd advise you to steer clear of them in your fantasy draft.
