It was just announced that the roof at Reliant Stadium in Houston was damaged and this week's Baltimore/Houston game is going to be postponed; essentially both teams are getting their byes this week and the games are going to be shuffled around to take place during Baltimore and Houston's original byes.

To give people more of a chance to sign up for the Extra Points Survivor League, we are extending the deadline to next week! For those who have already signed up, you have this week to relax and the league will start counting picks in week 2. For those who haven't had a chance to sign up yet, you now have until next Sunday, Sept. 14 to do so!

But why wait? Guarantee your spot by signing up now. It's a Yahoo league, group #20916 and password xppodcast.

Good luck!

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great holiday weekend! Now it's time to get ready for the regular season. And if you're looking for a quick fantasy game, or are new to fantasy football and want to get a taste of what it's like, we introduce again the Extra Points Survivor League!!

The concept of survivor fantasy football is simple, but the game is quite challenging. Every week, you pick one team you think will win that week. If the team you picked wins, you live to pick another week. If the team you pick loses, you are eliminated from the competition. That's it! You can only pick a team once during the game, so pick carefully.

To sign up go to http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival, and sign up for our private group (you'll need a Yahoo ID to participate, but it's free to create one). Use Group ID #20916 and password xppodcast.

Whoever is the last survivor will win a fabulous prize! It's free to join, so get going! Sign up for our group; entry is first come, first served. If there is interest beyond 50 people (Yahoo's limit for our group size) we will start a second league. If you have any ?s, e-mail extrapointspodcast@gmail.com or post a message on the new forums.

Good luck, and may the best survivor win...

Scott and Steve
