Yeah, but at least the better QB is in there.

He nearly got knocked out of the game when I posted that. Browns had to take a time out for him to get his bearings back.

Absolutely got destroyed in standard league. Fucking Andrew Luck and Beckham.

Keeper PPR: Lynch and Wilson have to combine for more than 46 points against Arizona. At fucking Arizona. Just goddamnit. Fuck football.

FUCKING YES. 79 sweet yards and a TD. Wilson and Lynch clinched it. Tre Mason and Gronk also contributed. Lost standard and won keeper PPR. I'll take that trade.

Remember when the Browns had to choose between which kick-ass QB they were starting?

$11K fine immortalized.

Browns: we're preparing for another season of failures at QB. We did nothing wrong. They just haven't matured yet.

Frank Gore: QB guru.

Arizona stares down the barrel of a one-and-done.

I like how Manziel gave everyone the big speech about growing up and then pulled this stunt.

Reminds me of the saying:

As Breer notes, Gordon missing his 11th game will keep the wideout from accruing a season toward free agency -- players must play in six games to earn a year of eligibility toward becoming a free agent.

Hah.

As for Johnny Football, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Manziel was fined for being late to medical treatment, per a Browns source.

Yeah, but he was such a bargain at the draft. It'd be better if he gave a fuck about getting better and preparing for next year. Total bargain, though.

A shot of Johnny Walker Blue at The Pour House is $30, and there are craft beers that cost as much as $23.

Johnny Blue also costs $150-200 per bottle, so that's not surprising. A 25 oz. stein of craft beer for $23 is outrageous. This particular pub chain has a branch in Minneapolis, and I think one of the Vikings got arrested for DUI after leaving a few months ago.

Manziel IS a team leader.

Manziel, whose unapologetic stance about his offseason partying raised questions about his commitment, said this week he wants to be "the guy" for the Browns, who traded up in the first round to select the former Heisman Trophy winner in May's draft.

Every team needs a beer/water/gatorade guy. Didn't Jimmy Haslam clinch his Manziel draft decision when a hobo came up to him on the street and implored him to do so? That Teddy Bridgewater pick is looking less and less crazy everyday.

Gordon also was late getting onto the practice field Friday and emerged from the team's facility for the outdoor workout wearing teammate Travis Benjamin's jersey.

It was the best disguise he could come up with.
