Not sure if you were paying attention, or taking an open-eyed snooze like some NFL referees, but it’s week 14 and the playoff race is heating up as more teams drop out, and one pesky team hangs on for dear life.

NFL analyst Brian Billick gives his perspective on Seattle choosing Wilson over Flynn.

There wasn’t outrageous debate in the upper Northwest over who should be the Seattle Seahawks’ starting quarterback in 2012.

“Russell Wilson will start against the Raiders (in the preseason finale) and will start the first week of the regular season,” Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said during a conference call on Sunday. “He is so prepared, he does not seem like a first-year quarterback.”

Wilson was so prolific in every facet of his first three preseason games he did not give the third-year head coach much of a choice.

The Seahawks have three quarterbacks, and as the old saying goes, if you have three, you have none. Or something like that. I may have butchered it, but you get the idea.

Albert Pujols hit his first home run of the season. The Los Angeles Kings swept the Blues (we’re waiting for St. Louis to honor its obligation in a civic bet to send over its football team). And we got our first glimpse of some of the newest NFL stars. There is so much going on, let’s take a look at some of the top fantasy storylines.

Happy Wednesday, everybody. Are you ready to do this thing? We’re talking Alex Smith.

The Seahawks were serious enough about trying to land Peyton Manning that team officials flew to Denver to try to set up a meeting when the free-agent QB visited the Broncos for the first time, according to league sources.

Matt Flynn’s move to Seattle improves his fantasy value, but it doesn’t make him a No. 1 option in 2012.
