Here is the link to this week's ESPN fantasy football kickers rankings: http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/football/ffl/sto...

No David Akers? Am I missing something?

In my league's scoring, David Akers is 3rd in total points and 4th in average points. I do not see any reference to him being injured. And yet here he doesn't get a single vote, even for 20th place? What am I missing?

I haven't found any comment yet from Obama or his campaign on troopergate. Surely they will say something, right?

Has there ever been an RB over 30 finish in the top 10 fantasy backs? I am really talking about the fantasy football era here so let's say 1999 to present.

Last year Edgerrin James was 29 and finished #9 by ESPN standard scoring. But in my recollection there hasn't been an RB over 30 finish in the top 10. Am I wrong about this?

Am I an idiot, or are there no mock drafts on the ESPN fantasy football page? Didn't they have those last year? Why don't they have them up right now?

What other sites do mock drafts? I have done several at CBS Sportsline, but their rankings are really, really stupid and I am sick of dealing with them. I know there is also mockdraftcentral and I have not tried them yet. What I really want is for ESPN or Yahoo to have one!

I have seen 2008 fantasy football player rankings on websites for CBS Sportstline and Fantasy Football Toolbox. Does anyone else have ranks posted this early?

No matter where I look, as of March 10 at 4:00 central, we still only have 41% of precincts reporting. What's the deal? When will we have the final results?

How will a nice digital still camera's movie-mode movies compare to a nice digital camcorder? Will it be even close? How about compared to a HD camcorder?

Is there a website that lets you actually download clips recorded on camcorders or digital still cameras?

Will this affect mortgage interest rates? Will this make banks more or less willing to approve people for mortgages?

It doesn't seem to be on G4 or Spike right now. Is it not on any network?

SPOILER WARNING (at least in the answers)!

I heard a week or so ago that at the press conference for I Am Legend, Will Smith gave away the ending of the movie. Akiva Goldsman had to tell him to shut up, apparently. So now I have seen the movie, and I'm wondering what part of it he gave away. After all, there wasn't much in the way of a twist ending.

It sounds like they asked the press to kindly not report whatever it was he said. Do any of you know what he said?

As soon as I heard Larry Johnson was injured, I picked up Holmes. But also on the free agent list are Chatman, Fargas, and Warrick Dunn. Who should I play? I only need to pick one of them, Kevin Jones will be my RB1. But who should #2 be between Chatman, Fargas, Holmes, and Dunn?

Those three are all on the free agents list. I have to replace Ronnie Brown because I have very few other options at RB. I am leaning toward Kevin Jones. Watson has been tearing it up but I am afraid Rudi Johnson might actually decide to play a decent game of football one of these days and take over.

I could also go with Derrick Ward or Kenton Keith, but I don't like the idea of using a now-second-stringer.

What do you think? Thanks.

My real question is this: How hard is it to figure out your least favorite Weezer album?

For me, it's hard to pick my favorite Weezer album because there isn't a single one that I can rule out. On any given week, any of the albums could be my favorite. With other bands (even bands I love), there are some albums that I would NEVER consider my favorite.

Regular sit-ups? The thing where you lay on your back and lift your legs up 6 inches off the ground? Starting a sit-up and holding my body at a 45-degree angle?

Thanks.

I have heard conflicting reports about whether or not it is safe to have a drink or two when you don't know if you're pregnant or not. Here's my question: if you take a pregnancy test, and it says you're not pregnant, are you for sure safe to drink? That is, can you be sure that it's early enough that the alcohol will not get to the fetus?

I would *really* appreciate a good source here. I have seen a lot of websites on this issue but they all seem to be written by people who don't know what they're talking about.

Thank you very much.

I am hoping to find a book about all three cultures: their history, beliefs, rituals, system of government, and key locations. Something at a college or adult reading level.

Is the coverage live? I ask because I want to know when the LOST panel will be aired. It is scheduled for Thursday from 5:00 to 6:00. Is that when it will be on G4? Will they show the whole thing, or just "highlights" or something like that?

I have Vista and I'm relying on Windows Update.

Every time I run Update, it says that there are important updates available. I download them, install them, and restart the computer. Then problem #1: When I restart, it keeps shutting down and restarting again. Without ever actually starting up (it never shows my desktop), it will shut down and restart like 3 or 4 times. After a few tries, it does actually start up.

Then problem #2: The updates don't actually install! My start menu still has the exclamation point symbol by my shut down button saying I need to restart to install updates, and if I go back to Windows Update, it says that I need to do the whole thing over again. It says that my last attempt to update "failed." It makes me download again, install again, and do my whole restart dance again. I can go through the *whole* process (download, install, restart, restart, restart) several times and it will still say I need to get the updates.

Is there a solution?

I want an iPhone, but they're only available using AT&T/Cingular wirless, right? I live in Iowa and AT&T/Cingular get terrible coverage here. So I want an iPhone to use with Verizon.

1) If I buy an iPhone, it is impossible to make it work on Verizon, right? Or can you buy one and switch it over?

2) How long before I will be able to buy one to use with Verizon?

I have a few questions. Clearly the movie has a lot of new material, plot-wise, but is it loosely based on any particular part of the Transformers universe? If I wanted to watch something to get ready for the movie, what should I watch? The old cartoon movie? The first few episodes of the original cartoon series? The first episodes of some more recent TV show?
