by Austin Gardner-Smith, Roaring Sports Fantasy Columnist Monday, December 1, 2008 The best place to look for value this week is the injury report. A whole lot of fantasy studs have boo-boos this time of year, and their replacements are looking to break through the glass ceiling with a big day that could land them the free-agent coin they're looking for this off-season. Add playoff hopes, screaming fans and snow-bowls to that equation and we have what promises to be a fantastic week 14 roster.
We'll start with the World Champion New York Giants. Both Plaxico Burress and Brandon Jacobs find themselves on the injury report this week , and heading into two huge division games without those pieces of the puzzle fully healthy will change the fantasy outlook considerably. Derrick Ward becomes a No. 1 back and Amani Toomer suddenly looks three seasons younger. The Giants will find a way to win games without these key players, but new personnel will pick up the stats.

by Andrew Travers, Roaring Sports Columnist Monday, December 1, 2008 Thanksgiving fell on America this year with a Dickensian pall of need and want. Collectively and metaphorically we are carving Spam instead of turkey this economically depressed holiday season.

Sometimes in sports you can't judge a team's success by the amount of wins.
That seems to be the case for third-year Aspen High School girls basketball coach Jeremy Haack, who returns to the Skiers' sidelines after two lackluster seasons that saw his team combine for just seven wins.

Aspen Daily News Staff Report Monday, December 1, 2008 It's that time of year again, when slogging up 3,200 vertical feet in just under three miles is all for fun - and a good cause. The third annual Summit for Life takes place this Saturday, Dec. 6, on Aspen Mountain, and it all benefits the Chris Klug Foundation, an organization that promotes organ and tissue donation. Participants can either hike as an individual or part of a team ($40 registration fee per person, plus $160 in pledges). And there's a party at the top for those who want to skip that whole climbing up thing, but still donate and have a good time.
The recreation start time is 5:15 p.m. and competitive races start at 6 p.m. Full Story »
