Because Favre has been beaten to death already – hyperbole like this “Brett Favre signing with the Minnesota Vikings ranks among most stunning stories in the history of sport” is sure to do it – and we can’t get too worked up in August about this fictitious Dwight Howard-bolts-Orlando scenario, and because Usain Bolt might one day run a sub-9.0, but it ain’t happening this week, we’ll close today with some fantasy football talk. We covered QBs yesterday, and we’ll do RBs today.

1. Adrian Peterson
2. Matt Forte – Easiest schedule in the NFL, a QB to keep defenses honest.
3. Steven Jackson
4. Maurice Jones-Drew
5. Michael Turner
6. Chris Johnson, Tennessee
7. Frank Gore
8. LaDainian Tomlinson – It’s either a huge bounce-back season, or even worse than last year. Like the former.
9. DeAngelo Williams
10. Clinton Portis
11. Marion Barber
12. Brandon Jacobs – Enjoy the 8-man fronts!
13. Ryan Grant – Yup, ahead of Westbrook and Slaton.
14. Willie Parker – Assuming he survives the first four weeks, the schedule sets him up for a monster season.
15. Kevin Smith – More of a wild card than anything.

Left Marshawn Lynch out because he has to miss four games. Think Slaton plummets back to earth. Two songs we recently Shazam’d:

We’ve got wildly divergent music tastes.
