The recently launched ComeHomePeyton.com is urging fans to donate greenbacks for billboards, radio ads and viral videos aimed at convincing the former Tennessee Volunteer — if he parts ways with the Colts — to end his career in poetic fashion.

Matt Forte will be one of the top running backs taken in 2012 fantasy drafts. That’s why the looming threat of a contract holdout is so troubling.

When he scorched playing fields during his days with the Titans, Eddie George found himself plotted against by defenses from East to West. George, today, is once again a target as he steps into the sandals of Julius Caesar in the Nashville Shakespeare Festival production of the famous play by the same name.

With front office changes in Indianapolis and the Colts holding the top pick in the draft, the future of Peyton Manning is very much undecided.

On the one hand, there are only three out of 12 playoff spots still up for grabs heading into the final week of the regular season. On the other hand, there are so many possibilities in terms on a) who gets those three spots; and b) where teams fall in the seeding. Here are the playoff scenarios heading into Sunday:

With news that Anquan Boldin is finished for the regular season, fantasy owners might find more relief in Baltimore’s tight end than in their receiving corps.

Count Titans QB Matthew Hasselbeck among the unswayed in response to his kicker’s grassroots bid for the Pro Bowl.

Losing Greg Jennings to a knee injury certainly will impact fantasy owners currently in the playoffs, but there is plenty of value to be found in the rest of Green Bay’s deep receiving corps.

In the NFL, defensive coordinators wish stopping a team was as simple as stopping one guy.

There has been much commotion this season about a “new” phenomenon, commonly referred to as “Wide-9” defensive ends. What hasn’t been mentioned much this year, but has been equally on the rise this year, is the ‘Double 3-technique’ alignment.

Quite a few solutions to the curious case of Chris Johnson are floating around.

Terrell Owens has completed his workouts, and judging by the lack of interest among NFL teams, don’t expect to add him to your fantasy roster any time soon.

There’s no question that DeMarco Murray should be the starter for the Cowboys.

With six minutes to go in the fourth quarter, his Chargers down by three, Phillip Rivers released what must have looked to him like an easy completion to his go-to-receiver on a pivotal 3rd-and-6.

With the monotony of Indianapolis’ annual contention for the AFC South stifled by Peyton Manning’s injury, Houston and Tennessee will battle for the division lead Sunday as we approach the season’s midpoint.
