Hi Folks,
Big news out of Houston. The Texans - Ravens game had been pushed back to Monday
but now it's postponed again.

Clipped from the ESPN story:
Hurricane Ike, which swept through Galveston and Houston overnight, caused
substantial damage to Reliant Stadium, so the Texans game against the Baltimore
Ravens will not be played Monday night.
The home opener, originally scheduled for Sunday, had been pushed to Monday night
because of the storm.
"The facility will not be usable," Shey Guinn, president of SMG, the company that
manages Reliant Park, told the Houston Chronicle.
"There's some structural damage to the roof. Part of it is off," Guinn said,
according to the paper. "There's also some other damage on the property caused
by wind and water. We're in the process of assessing the damage. As far as the
game being postponed again or played, that will be up to the NFL."
According to the Chronicle, the two teams will not comment until they speak with
the league; a conference call is scheduled for later Saturday.

If you have a player on the Ravens or Texans, you'll want to check with your
commissioner on exactly how your league will be handling this. If you have other
options outside of players in this game, it might be best to use them if you can.
I am certain the league will make this game up at some point. And it still may wind
up being played somewhere Monday. I'm just passing along the latest from ESPN on
it. As the article says, a conference call is planned for later today.
Bottom line is watch this very closely.
