Doc In Phoenix, Rocket Man in DC, and Mister2 in Trouble.

You may have noticed there were no Statleader posts yesterday. That was due to our main three contributors all being on the road.

I was in Phoenix checking on the status of the new Arizona Cardinal's stadium construction. Gotta tell you, I was impressed. I've been to some great baseball, football and general purpose stadiums (SBC Park, Dodger Stadium, The Astrodome, Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, The Super Dome, The Rose Bowl, The Big House in MeatChicken, and, of course, the best of all, Ohio Stadium on the campus of THE Ohio State University), but this facility is going to rank right up there with the best of them. I've seen the pictures and the web cams, but to truly appreciate what this facility is going to be you need to see it in person. If you are in the Phoenix area, you can find it along the 101 Loop off of I-10 on the west side of town.

While I was tromping around Cardinal's Stadium, Rocket Man has been in Washington DC advising the President on the State of Fantasy Sports. Not really, he has, however, been theer working with one another one of our staff on some of our new Fantasy Football statistical analysis methods. He'll be flying back from Washington Dulles to LAX Thursday morning. Look for the tall guy with the red Ohio State Football tee shirt, short gray hair, and glasses, introduce yourself and win a free membership.

Finally, after his sterling job of covering the NASCAR UAW DaimlerChrysler 500 in Las Vegas last week, Mister2 has been sent to Los Angeles on a special assignment. In order to recover his StatLeader cash advance (read his post, Mister 2's Misadventures in Las Vegas, on http://nascar.statleader.com/ ) by selling pencils in the LAX area. Don't bother trying to find him, he looks just like any of the other homeless, except for his lack of hair. (Just kidding 2.....except for the hair part).

We'll have some NFL news for you later.
