    things up....   ;-)

    -------------------------------------------
    
    A couple of changes in case you haven't seen them yet:
    
    - You can now rank players and Free agents by their 
    weekly average. This is helpful when many NFL teams 
    have already had their bye.
    
     -  A detailed Player Information report has been 
    added as a link off of the player name on the Ranking 
    reports. This Player Information report shows things 
    like fantasy points, NFL opponent, NFL injury status, 
    raw game statistics, and fantasy team affiliation on 
    a weekly basis for a given player.
    
    -  The Live Scoring page will display the point totals 
    for the owner's previous week's players if the owner 
    has not yet submitted a starting lineup.
