If you haven't already heard, this sundays Dolphins/Steelers game has been postponed with no makeup date announced. So it might be wise if you started a player from one of these teams, you may want to change them. Thanks.

Pittsburgh area radio is reporting that the game between the Steelers and Dolphins will be played at 8:30 on Sunday night. The game time has been changed due to the pending landfall of Hurricane Jeanne.
At this time, the schedule should probably be considered tentative until the hurricane has passed the area.
What i've heard is that it could be played on monday or at the latest, tuesday. And that the game won't be cancelled. Hopefully we'll find out more soon.

Hurricane wreaks havoc with Steelers-Dolphins game Sept. 25, 2004 SportsLine.com wire reports MIAMI -- Hurricane Jeanne forced the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers to move their game to prime time Sunday.
The teams and the league agreed to move the starting time from 1 p.m. ET to 8:30 p.m. ET because the hurricane was expected to bring significant wind and rain to South Florida late Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
But the Dolphins said the game time could change again.
"We all intend to reassess the situation following the aftermath of the storm in the morning and make a final decision at that point," team president Eddie Jones said Saturday. "Our first consideration will be public safety issues resulting from the storm, and that concern will be the priority in determining whether the game can be played (Sunday) night."
The Steelers flew to South Florida on Friday, a day early, because of the hurricane.
Jeanne is the fourth hurricane to affect major sporting events in Florida in the last six weeks, joining Charley, Frances and Ivan.
The Dolphins have been affected by the last three. Their season opener against Tennessee was moved up one day and played on a Saturday because of Ivan. One week earlier, the NFL forced the Dolphins to travel to New Orleans for an exhibition game after players balked at leaving their families while in the path of Hurricane Frances.
"We're getting used to this," placekicker Olindo Mare said.
