Hurricane Ike damages Fantasy Football

Hurricane Ike has no respect for Fantasy Football

It is a wacky world we live in.
It seems that the Baltimore Ravens Houston Texans football game has been delayed until November 9th because of Hurricane Ike.
The Texans’ home opener was originally scheduled for Sunday, then postponed to Monday night as Ike approached the Gulf Coast. The Category 2 storm slammed into Texas on Friday night and moved into Houston early Saturday morning.
Ike tore chunks off the stadium’s retractable roof and the damage couldn’t be fixed in time for the game, said Shea Guinn, the president and general manager of Reliant Park.
“There are parts of the roof that are completely gone,” Guinn said.
The retractable roof on the $352 million venue rolls open in nine sections. Guinn said five of the sections were missing and large pieces of debris had fallen into the stadium.
“It’s hard to tell what came from where,” Guinn said.
The Texans said alternate sites for Monday night were considered, but logistics made them impossible.
Hold on there, Houston had a game already on November 9th.
Houston was originally scheduled to play the Bengals on Nov. 9. Now, those teams will play on Oct. 26 and Cincinnati will take its bye week on Nov. 9, when the Texans now play the Ravens.
Baltimore had an open date on Nov. 9 on its original schedule.
So upon finding this out, what are most of us super shallow Fantasy Football fans thinking?
Well, how does this affect my Fantasy Football team? What week will the points go to? Is there some sort of exemption for these two teams suddenly having a bye week this weekend?
Hey, are they worried about people living in the area or anyone getting hurt? Was it mentioned before that Fantasy Football players are shallow?
