This is the cheap shot of the year.

Is there a site with a less obnoxious advert in front of the real vid I want to see or can someone describe the hit?

And ... FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK, Bradshaw breaks his ankle. How many fucking injuries do I get this year?

Mike Zimmer hates time.

Rammed. If Tre learns how to catch passes, he'll be the first real RB that team's had in awhile. Of note: two offensive powerhouses, Indy and Denver, got run the fuck over this weekend by teams not known for running you over.

RG3 continues his baffling media conferences.
"If you want to look at the good teams in this league and the great quarterbacks, the Peytons (Manning) and the Aaron Rodgers, those guys don't play well if their guys don't play well," Griffin said.

That applies to great QBs, not you. Average and below average players need to step the fuck up or lose their starting jobs. Then again, Kirk Cousins being your backup is a good indicator that you've not got any competition until a move is made.

Site refuses to let me view the vid without a "fuck you" 30-second advert showing beforehand. Fuck that shit.

Jay Gruden responds.
"Robert had some fundamental flaws," Gruden said.
...
"So, from his basic performance just critiquing Robert, it's not even close to good enough to what we expect from the quarterback position."
...
"First of all, Robert needs to understand he needs to worry about himself No. 1 and not everybody else," Gruden said. "... It's my job to worry about everybody else. Yes, everybody else needs to improve, but it's not his place. His place is to talk about himself and he knows that. He just elaborated a little too much and he'll learn from it. He's 24 years old."

Col McCoy: (Combined 9-10 opponents)
Sun 10/19 Tennessee W 19 - 17
Mon 10/27 @ Dallas W 20 - 17

RG3: (Against combined 6-14 opponents)
Sun 11/2 @ Minnesota L 26 - 29
Sun 11/16 Tampa Bay L 7 - 27

The Redskins are not a great team. RG3 appears on his way to become the next Barry Foster or Greg Cook.

If the Steelers lose tonight, they will have lost the most games in which they were favored by more than 3 since 2012... tied with Detroit.
Long before pop singer Justin Bieber “jinxed” the Pittsburgh Steelers by attending the team’s Bible study on the eve of the team’s upset loss to the New York Jets on Nov. 9, coach Mike Tomlin’s Steelers were dropping games they expected to easily win. Since the 2012 season, the Steelers have lost an AFC-leading seven games when favored by more than three points and their .533 winning percentage in those games is the third-worst in the NFL over that same span. It is probably the biggest reason the Steelers could miss the postseason for the third season in a row.

Only the Detroit Lions have disappointed their fans more than Pittsburgh, dropping eight of the 14 games they’ve been favored by more than three points over the past three seasons, according to point-spread database Spreadapedia. Entering Week 11, NFL teams since the start of the 2012 season were 316-103 when favored by more than a field goal (.749 winning percentage).

The Steelers’ loss to the New York Jets in Week 10 as 4.5-point favorites was the second time this season that Pittsburgh lost a game that looked like a sure win on paper. They also fell at home to the then-winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. If they merely performed as the oddsmakers expected in these games, they’d be an AFC North-leading 8-2 heading into Monday night’s game in Tennessee. Instead, the Steelers are 6-4 but sportsbooks still have made them six-point favorites on the road against the 2-7 Titans.

In each of the past two seasons, the Titans have beaten a heavily-favored Steelers team.

Holy shit. Really? "Straps on that boy?" 70 yards and a score?

Also pulled off a win in the catt league, despite having two players go for 0 points or less.

Standard league:
Leading in points scored by 80 over my the 2nd closest team. How's that translate success-wise? 3rd shittiest in points against and some-fucking-how 3rd in my div, barely above .500. The fucking hell?

Keeper league:
My regular team keeps winning due to relatively low points against and somehow having a couple offensive pistons always firing.

Sproles underperforms, Pierre Thomas is hurt and part of a share, Bradshaw's hurt, Woodhead's been hurt. My bench has Darrey and Tre Mason fighting for starts alongside Beast Mode now. Wideouts? Suck. Decker was my best until I traded cheap for Brandon Marshall, who's saved my ass the past couple weeks. Maybe Cecil Shorts (III, motherfuckers) can step up in Jackoffsonville.

I had both starting RBs on a bye, Sanders went down, Brees decided to take a week off at home (which he's done once now...), and somehow I only lost by 3 in my F&F league. He won on Antonio Brown's TD.

What pisses me off is I almost picked up Gray Sunday morning, and instead picked up DeAngelo Williams. I would have won easily with Gray.

What will be funny is watching guys scramble to grab him this week on waivers and then watching Belicheck promptly bench him for the rest of the season.

Blount is made about his playing time.

This is your fourth team. You're playing behind a guy who is in the conversation for "best back in the NFL". What do you expect?

If a player leaves the game early of his own free will or otherwise refuses to play, the organization should be allowed to not pay that player for the game.

I love one-shot players like that. Someone always pisses away major dollars.

Well, Ben Tate opened his mouth about not liking his playing time with the other two RB's and promptly got cut.

HAH. Nice one, Tate. Makes my life easier.

Colts just lost Bradshaw for the season, I expect him to go there and team up with another ex-Brown RB.. Cleveland plays the Colts in 3 weeks, could be fun to watch..

Except for the fact that Cleveland can't stop the run for shit! Might be a good day for them RBs to get redemption against us

Blount blunted.

Opinion on Goodell.

Cribbs is back ... for Indy.

I doubt the Steelers will grab Tate since they dumped Blount for the same thing.

Today must be "Dump your whiny bitch day" in the NFL as the Panthers cut Jason Avant after he criticized the play calling.
