HEY NOW SUBSCRIBER! THAT WAS FUN, EH? I'll be contacting you later this week via e-mail with a full blown season-closing message, but I'd like to take a brief moment to thank all of you for you subscribing this year.

Hope you enjoyed it. I know we did. ...

One last note here. ...

Even though the 2002 FlashUpdate is officially a wrap, I'll be more than happy to answer any lineup questions or provide injury info -- via e-mail -- to those of you playing on into the postseason. Contact me at flashtrouble@tflreport.com for the quickest response.

Otherwise. ... I'm going to go watch some ball. Please feel free to peruse last week's information throughout the remainder of the weekend:

In addition to an informative collection of Late-Breaking Updates, Friday's UPDATED NFL Injury Report, Week 17 Team Notes, MatchUp Notes and Player Performance Rankings -- as well our usual selection of Exclusive Cheatsheets -- are all available for review. Access at your leisure.

And of course, you're welcome to access the FlashUpdate Archive -- which includes previous editions of both the 2002 and 2001 FlashUpdate -- as the mood moves you.
