Babe of the Week Scarlett Johansson texted me the winner of the Thursday night game and she likes San Diego to win by at least two touchdowns over the Chiefs on Sunday...

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is the Bonehead of the Week. Barack Obama evidently wasn't directly involved in the corrupt back room dealings, but future Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's hands may be a bit bloody. It should be interesting to see who Blago takes down with him during the next few weeks...

Today's Fantasy Focus takes a brief look at one of only three NBA players currently averaging over 20 points and 11 rebounds a game: Zach Randolph. The other two guys, Dwight Howard and Carlos Boozer, were expected to put up numbers in this range, but not Z-Bo. Much maligned during his career, Randolph has been a model of consistency through the first quarter of the season playing for the Knicks and now the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite posting gaudy numbers night after night, Randolph's perceived fantasy value doesn't equal his actual value. Tim Duncan, Yao Ming, Amare Stoudemire and Chris Bosh may have bigger names, but Randolph's game is comparable so far this year. Tip of the week: Make a play for Randolph in your fantasy league and thank me later.
In the Langdon League, team Sarah Palin is in a three way dog fight at the top of the standings with Stuckey Is My Team's Savior and Looking Good Now But More Injuries Are On The Way. The three teams are separated by a total of 1.5 points and Paper Tiger/Team of Destiny is still hanging around in fourth place. It should be a tight race all year, but deep down everybody knows who will emerge victorious five months from now...
