Time for Week 11 in the NFL to continue after Denver's win over the Jets on Thursday night. Got to love Thursday night games, huh? Maybe we can have games every week on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Make every week last forever. Things to look forward on Sunday...
1. No Vick for Philly. The Eagles QB has been ruled out along with WR Jeremy Maclin for Sunday night's game at the Giants. This is a huge blow for a Philadelphia team that needs a win and several in a row to have any chance to make the playoffs. Vince Young starts for Vick and while he can be the right-handed Vick at times, he needs to be the Vince Young of Rose Bowl glory.
2. More injuries as McFadden also out for Oakland. A lot of stars have missed games this season and that includes Darren McFadden who will sit again. Start Michael Bush in your fantasy league, he's on a roll.
3. Why so many early games? The whole schedule Sunday afternoon except for 3 games are scheduled for noon. Better watch the games early and go do something else later.
Now sit back and relax....

Fantasy Five-Pack Friday
The weekend is here, here are the five burning questions in my mind....
- How will this week's events affect Penn State's football team against Nebraska? This could go either way, the players say they are playing for Joe Paterno but how on earth can they focus after everything that has went down.
- Can Andrew Luck clinch the Heisman with a big performance against Oregon? Luck is going to be the No. 1 pick in the draft and can cement his Stanford legacy with a strong game Saturday night. If Luck plays anywhere near his normal self, just call off the ceremony and mail the trophy to Palo Alto.
- Is this going to be the weekend the NBA lockout ends? I know I've been saying that this is going to last a long time, my gut though is telling me the possibility of something happening is here. Let's wait and see if that actually happens though.
- How will basketball on an aircraft carrier look? The answer to that comes Friday night with North Carolina taking on Michigan State on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego. Let's all hope for no wind to affect the ball or the ship and no rain.
- How many more free agents are the Marlins going to bring in? Albert Pujols, Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle. It's obvious now that a big splash is coming in Miami. Pujols isn't going to Miami but I can see Reyes going there. If this all blows up, a new stadium isn't going to help.
- Well, it seems I still can't predict anything as the Raiders opened Week 10 of the NFL season with a 24-17 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Player of the Day: Oakland RB Michael Bush
Bush ran 30 times for 157 yards and a touchdown along with three catches for 85 yards as the Raiders went on the road for a 24-17 win.
Matchup to Watch: North Carolina vs. Michigan State, 6 p.m. (CT), ESPN
The top-ranked Tarheels begin the 2011-12 season with a game against the Spartans. Will be fun to see a game on an aircraft carrier.
This Date in History: Nov. 11, 1946
The New York Knickerbockers play their first game at Madison Square Garden. 65 years later, it is looked at a mecca for basketball still.
