Is any team so hard up for a RB that they'd sign a washed up Ray Rice knowing that women's groups will probably try to organize boycotts against them or their organizers?

It's not so much what he did, but we all saw it.

Yes. There are more than a couple teams in that category. I don't know if any have the balls/stupidity to pull the trigger besides the Raiders.

It's been a good week for FF so far.

Postseason in the catt league. I'm in the loser bracket, but stomping the shit out of my opponent. Hating that Hopkins is on my bench.

Standard:
Last regular season game. I'll probably end up beating the #1 seed this week, which should lock me into the top playoff bracket with a rockin' 7-6 record.

Keeper PPR:
Currently up on my opponent by 100 points with Tre Mason and the St. Louis D leading the way. That gets me a week 1 bye and top record in the league at 10-3. Perhaps more importantly, Tre is involved in the passing game.

Mike Tomlin is the (to steal from Simmons) best worst coach in the NFL.

On the positive side, I clinched a win in my F&F league, which locks me for best regular season record at 10-3, a division win, and a first round bye.

Woot!

Well Cleveland opened Pandora's box today.. Hoyer was playing pretty bad again, 5 picks now in the last two games and Johnny was put in.. He immediately went right down the field and scored a TD. This wasn't in total garbage time because there was 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter and were still in it but albeit a long shot. He didn't get on the field again until less than 3 minutes left in the game and there was a miscommunication and there was a bad snap, it should have been a TD by buffalo but the refs somehow ruled it a forward pass and called it incomplete. At least the refs are on his side!!

All in all you saw what Johnny could do and what mistakes your gonna get. Personally I think this is Hoyer's ticket out of town. They took Johnny in the first round and he's gonna get his shot, any team would do the same. I have no idea how to feel or what to think, but it should be a fun ride at the very least.

Johnny will get kicked to the curb by the end of the season if he doesn't get some momentum going. Cleveland isn't known for the stability of its QB position.

I have notched very strong wins in all FF leagues this week.

As someone in ESPN's live fan feed said: "Manziel scored a touchdown. Bad news for anything else worthy of being news on ESPN."

As of 7:21 p.m., Manziel playing is ESPN's top story...

At his next away game, all the fans should bring monopoly money and used tampons to throw at him.

Cops mad at Rams' players for expressing their opinion.
The St. Louis Police Officers' Association said it was "profoundly disappointed" with what it called a "display that police officers around the nation found tasteless, offensive and inflammatory." It called for the players involved to be disciplined and for both the league and team to issue a "very public apology."

Fuck off.

The Jets are running the ol' Tebow play book, apparently ... minus the fact that their QB can't run.

Stranger stole the #2 seed in our F&F league so we're 1 and 2 and both on a bye this week.

Highest scoring team in the league is hardly stealing the bye, I earned that shit rightfully so. I had a good draft and made some good free agent pickups throughout the year, even though I thought we were paying for transactions for the first half of the year.

Both our teams are very similar. Elite QB's, best receiving cores, and decent RB's. Hopefully I see you in the Fantasy Bowl!!

I never said it wasn't earned, but you had to win your last 4 and have him lose the last game just to get the opportunity to beat him in a tiebreaker, which you did. Plus, I'm pretty sure he went into the Sunday night games tied.

He had that seed locked and blew it. Thus, you stole it. :p

Looks like Cleveland is going to stick with Hoyer, for at least one more game. Better not throw any incompletions Brian, because this crowd will turn on you in no time. This is a fan base that has cheered as Tim Couch and Derek Anderson lay injured on the field, even made Tim cry once in a postgame interview.

The weight of the world is on Brian's shoulders and his leash is going to be short. Good luck with that...

Hoyer's got a .667 win percentage. Guess Browns fans just can't take winning.
