Ronnie Brown Out For Season Brown has reportedly been ruled out for the remainder of the 2009 season with an apparent Lisfranc fracture.

NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 11: Eli Manning to Take Flight Against Falcons
We had great success in Week 10, making the right call on Brett Favre, Ricky Williams, and nudging you in the right direction on sitting Matt Ryan and Matt Cassel.

Chiefs Cut RB Larry Johnson The Kansas City Chiefs finally cut ties with disgruntled and gay-slurring running back Larry Johnson.

Chiefs’ Johnson Suspended Until Nov. 9 After barring ‘star’ running back Larry Johnson from team activities on Tuesday in the wake of him being the latest athlete to forget, it should come as no surprise that he’s going to have to spend some time in timeout.
