Plans for Tiger Woods' Dubai Course Go Bust

The big plans for a Tiger Woods signature golf estate, including a boutique hotel and sheik-style palaces, have been shelved as Dubai's financial downturn claimed another major project launched during the eye-popping boom years.

A statement Monday by the golf course developer - part of a conglomerate controlled by Dubai's debt-squeezed ruler - said "market conditions" were behind the decision to suspend work on The Tiger Woods Dubai on the city's desert outskirts.

"It's been put on hold for right now. A lot of projects are out there," Woods told The Associated Press on Sunday after he finished his season debut at Torrey Pines. "It's still there. We've got six completed holes and a few that were about to be grassed before construction was halted. Everything is on hold."

The golf course developer, part of Dubai Properties Group, left open the possibly that work could someday resume.

Week 10: Fantasy Football Buy, Sell, or Hold

What a week of comeback wins by teams that needed them badly. How about a huge win for the Raiders? And those Cowboys and Seahawks appear to be going in the wrong direction.

It's also the final week of byes. Green Bay, New Orleans, Oakalnd, and San Diego all have byes this week, so owners need to plan accordingly.

Here's our week 10 suggestions:

Buy:

Seyi Ajirotutu, WR Chargers - Becoming a hot commodity. Pick him up for your stretch drive.

Sidney Rice, WR Vikings - The Vikes and going to be pass-happy from here on out. Sidney Rice is very close to returning, if he is still available, grab him.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB Buffalo - If you are stuck with an under performing quarterback, you might want to add Fitzpatrick. He's not flashy, but he's not bad. In fact, Buffalo is not as bad as their winless record indicates. He ended up going 31-51 for 299 against the Bears.

Mario Manningham, WR Giants - Manningham should be a decent play this week against the horrid Cowboys. The Cowboys don't want to cover or tackle anyone.

Colt McCoy, QB Browns - Did anyone think McCoy would even play this year? His breakout performance against the Patriots reminded some of for Brown's great Bernie Kosar.

Sell:

The entire Cowboy's team - Looks like they've packed it in.

Wes Welker, WR Patriots - With Randy Moss gone, Welker no longer can hide in his shadow. He is now covered by the opposing team's best corner and Welker's numbers are suffering. Trade him if you can get similar in value.

Lance Moore, WR Saints - Reggie Bush is getting real close to returning. When Bush returns, Moore loses most of his value. Trade Moore if you can.

Donald Brown. RB Colts - With the emergence of Javarris James what is going to happen with Donald Brown? I would think if Brown has some value in your league trade him before any trade deadlines.

Hold:

Austin Collie, WR Colts - He took a terrible hit, left the game, and didn't return. We'll we waiting word this week on what his situation is.

Week 9: Fantasy Football Buy, Sell, and Hold

It's November in the NFL and everywhere else. The old saying is the teams that win in November will make the playoffs. This actually holds true in fantasy football as well. Even if you only have 2 or 3 wins at this point it isn't over. If you get on a roll in November, chances are that will carry over to December and you have a shot at post season.

Here's how you might be able to help yourself heading into week 9.

 

Buy:

Troy Smith, QB 49ers - San Francisco may have found their quarterback in the former Heisman Trophy winner. He went 12-19 for 196 yards and threw for one TD. He also ran for a TD. Hopefully he continues to start for the 49ers.

LeGarrette Blount, RB Buccaneers- If for some reason he is available in your league, pick him up! He rushed for 120 yards and 2 Touchdowns on 22 carries, He is now the #1 back in Tampa.

Keiland Williams, RB Redskins - With Ryan Torain down with an injury, fantasy owners might want to pick up Williams as an insurance policy.

Marcel Reece, WR Raiders - They are throwing the ball in Oakland again. Recce caught three passes for 90 yards and a score. He also added 32 yards on the ground. Not too shabby.

Kansas City Chiefs Defense - The Chief's run D has allowed less than 90 yards on average this season. They will have their work cut out for them as the Raiders come to town. I think the Chief's defense will hold their own.

 

Sell:

Brandon Tate, WR Patriots - Even though he had catches totaling 101 yards and a score, he isn't the primary option in New England. The Vikings just forgot to cover him.

Donald Driver, WR Packers - You might not want to sell Driver, but you probably should sit him as he continues to be hobbled with an injury to his leg. The Pack plays Dallas this week and then has a bye, so Driver can rest for two weeks.

Vince Young, QB Titans - If you can get something for him, this is the time to trade Young. He hastaking a beating and Tennessee moves the ball mostly on the ground.

Felix Jones, RB Cowboys - Jones' production continues to decline. Against the Jags he had 8 carries for 22 yards. Not sure what value, if any he'll have the rest of the season.

Randy Moss, WR Vikings - Wow, who would've thought Moss would be waived this soon into his tenure with Minnesota. Some team may take a chance on him, but how much does he have left?

Hold

Jon Kitna: I don't know what to think of Kitna so far. He put up some yards and Dallas is going to throw the ball a lot. But with Kitna and the Cowboy's as a whole, you are going get some inconsistent play and turnovers.
