Word on the street is Arizona Cardinals RB Edgerrin James asked for his release last week:

"We spoke with [general manager] Rod Graves because Edgerrin still believes he is a 1,000-yard back and he is healthy and he is still capable of being a 1,000-yard back for a team," Rosenhaus said. "He is not playing now, and there are teams that are banged up at the running back position that he could help." - Super Agent Drew Rosenhaus per ESPN.com

The Cardinals have publicly denied the reports, as they should if they are wanting to trade Edge rather than release him out right. Rather than delve into this any deeper, would you be interested in bringing James to Tampa? Do we need him?

Let's get to it... There's only 6 weeks left in the Fantasy Football Season and teams continue to fall by the waist side: My humble team is one loss away from being completely eliminated from Playoff contention, my opponent this week? League Leader Sendawg (9-2), sweet mercy take it easy on me... Don't laugh Bull Gator, you've been eliminated for Division contention as well, so i guess we are both clinging for life support and praying the AWOL NoahChestNut hits a rut. Alright enough crying here's the current FleaFlicker Standings:

Division 3 appears to be the most intriguing division for the stretch run. WBC and LJTaylor were once world beaters in the division, but at (6-5) collectively, they have a surging competitor in LinuxTx (5-6). Good luck with the chase Tex! Sendawg has already clinched the Wild Card, but he shouldn't need that with the cans he's been opening on opponents this season. I'd be remiss if I didnt point out Buc Beast's three game winning streak and his ability to potentially take over the division from front runner Ghosthippo.. Do what you do boy!!

Good stuff fellas... Set those rosters!!!!

The Fantasy Football Season keeps on chugging along. This week The Bull Gator handed Ghosthippo his second loss of the season leaving him atop the league with Sendawg who also has two losses. Speaking of Sendawg, he has reeled off three wins in a row, way to go man. I'm secretly hoping you meet your demise however, as its the only chance i have at saving face in the league. It pains me to say it, but I'm pulling for Ghosthippo in your match-up of top dogs this weekend... Here's the results in the league thus far:

Fleaflicker has been a fun league to be a part of, but there is one issue i have with the Fantasy Football provider: It's Add/Drop feature. First of all, get rid of the rating system in which players can pick up a player. If someone goes to pick up a player, he should be awarded that player should he be the first to claim him. My second complaint and the more serious of the two is having to wait a week to have players that have been added/dropped to officially clear the roster. What is that? I'm sitting there Sunday and my Tight Ends are a no go, so i attempt to add Daniel Graham just prior to kickoff, does he immediately join my team? Heck no, he gets added once the league resets itself after Monday Night Football. I'll admit I have a foggy memory, but I'm pretty sure NFL.com allows you to add players in real time. This doesnt stop me from enjoying the league, its just a major annoyance for slackers like me who wait til the last minute for everything. Moving on...

Gangplank, I hate to break it to you buddy, but you've already been eliminated from the Fantasy Football Playoffs in Week 10! WoW! Guess you truly are playing to be the spoiler. You're not alone however, although he hasnt been eliminated from the Playoffs, he has been eliminated from a first round bye, Dunnfann. I'd laugh even harder, but I'm soon to be in the same boat as you fellas.
