Important stuff

You can set your roster for week 8. Games will simulate on Tuesday night.

Information stuff

You won't notice much different about the site. The changes are:

1) The injury data base has been updated. About 50 players are affected.
2) *HOPEFULLY* the site will work well for Old Dog.
3) I ended up turning off all tabs to the left of Game Planning for the time being.

Geek stuff and rants

I was a day behind my intended schedule of getting the site ready for week 8.

My gosh, strict HTML 4.01 is a pain. Spent pretty much all weekend getting most of my pages in compliance. This is what I am hoping will help Old Dog's problem. I was pretty loose with my HTML up to now (not even in compliance transitional) and I think that was causing the weird stuff. It needed to be done anyway, but I had no idea what a huge task that would be.

CBS Sports can die in a fire. I used their injury reserve list as part of the information I used to build the injury database at the beginning of the season. As far as I can tell, they were completely random about when they listed a player and when they didn't. It's as if the web geek would enter a name in their table when they heard about a player going on IR on the radio. I ended up finding a list of transactions on NFL.com. Ended up spending about 5 hours manually updating my injury database.

So just a ton of work that didn't add any fun stuff to the site.
