Just in time for the Thurs­day night tilt between the Ravens and Ben­gals, we have the Week 13 show. We cover numer­ous top­ics includ­ing why Mar­vin Har­ri­son is so angry; why the Kansas City Chiefs don’t seem to care about Larry Johnson’s career; and we dis­cuss what exactly Bryant Gum­bel was doing dur­ing Thanks­giv­ing Night’s Broncos/Chiefs games. As if that is not enough, we talk about how we han­dle colds. I’m assum­ing Ivan Drago never got a cold, con­sid­er­ing he did copi­ous amounts of steroids. Any­way, you can grab it here.

The long and wind­ing road of the NFL reg­u­lar sea­son is head­ing down the home stretch and finally per­haps for the first time this sea­son we saw some of the league’s newer faces grow­ing up. In Indi­anapo­lis, Joseph Addai made mince meat out of a once proud Philadel­phia Eagles defen­sive front by rush­ing for four touch­downs; Matt Leinart had a great sta­tis­ti­cal effort in defeat against the Min­nesota Vikings; and in Atlanta, Michael Vick…umm…hasn’t quite grown up yet. It’s all a part of the Sun­day Wrap.

It’s that time of year again which means good food and fun, excit­ing foot­ball are just around the cor­ner! Okay, the foot­ball may not be great, (Who are the wiz­ards that decided Tampa should play on Thanks­giv­ing?) but the food will be good. Derek and I go over those sub­jects and also touch on ice golf­ing, which just looks painful and excellent.

No weekly rank­ings this week because, well, the NFL doesn’t give us enough time for it. The show should answer your ques­tions though. Have a safe and joy­ful holiday.

Edit — Grab it here. Sorry about not post­ing the link ear­lier and thanks to Adam A. for alert­ing me to its absence.

If you are wrestling with any week 12 lineup deci­sions and would like to know what Derek and/or I think about it, either leave a com­ment on this post or email us at andyg@mvpff.com or derekj@mvpff.com. We’ll either answer your question(s) on the show, here, or through email.

Also, tell us what your favorite part of Thanks­giv­ing is. Derek and I need to get psy­ched up for the holiday.

As we approach play­off time in fan­tasy foot­ball, LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son and Drew Brees may be two play­ers who carry your team to a cham­pi­onship. Once again on Sun­day, both enjoyed mon­strous fan­tasy per­for­mances. Week 11 will likely be remem­bered just as much for injuries though. Play­ers dropped like flies around the league yes­ter­day. In Philadel­phia, Dono­van McN­abb saw his reg­u­lar sea­son end for the third time in five sea­sons; Lam­ont Jordan’s sea­son may have come to an end in with a knee injury in Kansas City; New Eng­land KO’d Brett Favre in a shutout vic­tory in Green Bay; and the poten­tial NFL Rookie of the Year suf­fered the dreaded high ankle sprain. It’s all a part of the Sun­day Wrap.

1. Steve Smith vs. St. Louis– Smith should cut through the Rams sec­ondary rather eas­ily for pos­si­ble two scores and close to 150 yards receiving.

2. Mar­ques Col­ston vs. Cincin­nati– Col­ston estab­lished him­self as the NFL’s most pro­duc­tive rookie player. Fac­ing a defense that gave up 49 points last week, Col­ston should thrive again.

3. Mar­vin Har­ri­son vs. Dal­las– The method­ol­ogy of Bill Par­cells will ulti­mately deter­mine the fan­tasy stats is this one. Will he take a con­ser­v­a­tive ball con­trol approach? Or will he throw cau­tion to the wind with Tony Romo? What­ever the deci­sion, noth­ing should stop Har­ri­son from get­ting into the end zone at least once.

1) Larry John­son vs. Raiders — Hope­fully the Raiders will put some points on the board so John­son isn’t taken out of the game by half-time.

2) LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son vs. Bron­cos — Despite Tomlinson’s strug­gles against Den­ver, there’s no way you’re bench­ing him.

3) Rudi John­son vs. Saints — Hey, can some­one get Rudi an alarm clock? Thanks.

1) What­ever vs. Cow­boys — I’m bored now.

2) Dono­van McN­abb vs. Titans — So McN­abb tossed a pass out to the right side of the field and Reg­gie Brown caught it. And then fum­bled. Except he didn’t fum­ble, he just dropped the ball and then Cor­rel Buck­hal­ter got the carom, and then he ran for a touch­down. And that’s why so many fan­tasy own­ers lost their game or won their game on Wednes­day. That makes sense.

3) Drew Brees vs. Ben­gals — Cincy has allowed over 25 points in each of their last three games, includ­ing 26 points allowed against the offen­sive jug­ger­naut known as the Bal­ti­more Ravens.

I was going to have a pic­ture of Randy Moss with devil horns or some­thing, but the site has been act­ing up lately (We apol­o­gize for that) and I don’t know how long I have to write this. So noth­ing witty, and noth­ing fun. Just substance.

Grab the show here, because I lost a bet and I had to pay. Oh, and we go over week 11’s slate of games.
