i need the nfl to lean into TNF being terrible games and make the loser keep playing on TNF until they win and then they can get back on sun/mon and the new loser is stuck
games between 5 star future nfl players being decided by whether or not a 24 YO 175 lb chem e major can kick a ball between two sticks will always be funny
Breaking news in the NFL: The Dallas Cowboys are signing newly-reinstated wide receiver Martavis Bryant to a contract, according to sources. Bryant, who last played for the Raiders in 2018, had 17 touchdowns and 2,183 receiving yards in 44 career games.
Edge defenders and linebackers entering the NFL have gotten lighter and faster over the last four draft classes.
Both position groups in this year's class were among the top 2 lightest classes over the last two decades:
🔹 EDGE: 255.3 lbs (lightest)
🔹 LB: 231.8 lbs (2nd)
round 1 of the 2015 draft at wr is *wild*

in my home league draft my uncle “accidentally” (???) drafted travis homer in the second round and i think that’s the most insane fantasy pick i’ve ever seen
really spend all offseason trying to crack the fantasy football code and by week 3 i'm trying to decide if i should start marcus mariota over matt stafford
Almost 2 years ago, I got the idea to try clustering to evaluate WR prospects, and decided to learn Python to do it. Today, I solved a problem at work no one else knew how to using the exact algorithm I taught myself for fantasy football. What a ride.
the level of gaslighting from football guy twitter to convince you the bengals didn’t immediately make the sb and become one of the best teams in the league after drafting chase has been inspiring to see
i can’t tell if it means my brain is broken by capitalism but this seems like a reasonably healthy work commitment in the context of an extremely demanding period of the year?

#Bears
GM Ryan Poles was reportedly working more than +60 hours per week at Bears HQ.
—To such an extent that he brought in a foam mattress and slept over night.
“That was not healthy doing that last year, I don’t ever want to go through
Another scout to
@BobMcGinn
: “I like Tyson Bagent better than Fields. He came in and was totally in charge. That rookie has some shit to him.”
You'll want to read, in full:
Justin Herbert on his finger: “It is but a scratch. Just a flesh wound.”
When asked if the injury is actually a flesh wound or if he was quoting Monty Python, Herbert said, “That was just a quote.”
The funny thing about dynasty analysis is you spend hours on something and then someone says “this is wrong and you’re dumb” and there’s probably like a 45% chance they’re right
he was so close you guys. if they were still in the mix he’d definitely be back. probably lead them all the way to the playoffs. it was going to be the greatest comeback you’ve ever seen. just rotten luck.
#Jets
QB Aaron Rodgers has progressed enough in rehab to make being medical cleared possible, sources say. But Sunday’s game against the
#Dolphins
will help determine if he ever plays.
My story:
you, a doctor employed by the nfl: look his reaction speed is within acceptable benchmarks and he’s got perfectly fine recall
me, an idiot on my couch: okay but that man couldn’t walk so
Jags struggling is not a surprise. They are all in on analytics and I’m not sure they hired people who are going to gel and mesh very well. We will see if they turn it around but I still think Jags have made too many moves based only on analytics.
in my home league i will propose:
-super flex
-tight end premium
-adding 2 teams to get to 12
-going from 2 starting wr spots to 3
-going from 2 flex spots to 3
-delaying the trade deadline to right before the playoffs
every one will be rejected 1-9 or 2-8
