    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker is out for the season after breaking his leg in the first quarter of Thursday's game with the St. Louis Rams.

    Parker, the NFL's leading rusher entering the game, was injured on the Steelers' second play from scrimmage. X-rays confirmed that Parker fractured his right fibula.

    For the season, Parker rushed 321 times for 1,316 yards and two touchdowns. He caught 23 passes for 164 yards.

    With Parker out, backup Najeh Davenport likely will assume the bulk of the playing time. The 28-year-old entered the game with 349 yards, three touchdowns and a 4.9 average on 71 carries.</div>

    I pictured about a million guys tripping over stuff and pushing people out of the way to get to their computers to see if Najeh Davenport was available in their fantasy leagues.
