Bring Out The Chains: White Stealing TDs?

This is our first of a weekly addition of "Bring Out The Chains". Bring Out The Chains (BOTC) will be a weekly update on all the crucial news within the CGFFL. From player news to occasional league news.

Opening Segment - This week weeks opening segment is on Chris Johnson and LenDale White, the two Tennessee Titans who recently divorced and are no longer "Smash and Dash". Johnson and White along with the Oilers...I mean Titans...played in the very first game of 2009 last night. The game featured a fake punt and Terrell Owens, among other things. But what caught my eye was LenDale White coming in for Chris Johnson near the goal line. White neded up scoring and stealing the 6 fantasy points away from Top 10 RB Chris Johnson. This is something worth monotoring this preseason.

Player Updates

-Carolina Panther's WR Steve Smith was carted off at practice today with an apparent shoulder injury, no verdict yet.

-DeAngelo Williams back at practice today, Stewart had to sit.

-Ray Rice was named the starting RB for the Baltimore Ravens in the latest roster released by the Ravens. Rice has potential to be a Top 10 fantasy RB this season. Lucky the Cops...

-Antonio Bryant will be out 3-4 weeks with a torn meniscus in his knee. This could be a lingering issue for Bryant this season.

-LaDainian Tomlinson sayd he wants to play this preseason. I hope we get to see if he's made progress.

-Don't look to much into this, but Earnest Graham was named the starting RB ahead of Derrick Ward for the Bucs.

-Donnie Avery will be out 4-6 weeks with an injury, hence Moses Lake and Cashmere's trade was declared invalid.

-Calvin Johnson was wearing a cast on his thumb, more on this later.

League News - The question was asked why we are having our 1 preseason game in Week 3 of the preseason. The reason is because majority of the teams in the NFL play their starters through the 3rd quarter in that week.

We chose the games by projecting regional rivals for each team. Should be fun to see who gets the early pointless bragging rights.

I will give you East Wenatchee's preview tomorrow!
