Thanks to the one-two punch of (meaningless) football and the Summer Poo-lympics, last weekend was pretty much the sportsiest weekend of the summer.  We've got just more than three weeks of speculating about depth charts and final rosters, lamenting over injuries, and revising our fantasy draft boards
