Cleveland announces they're forfeiting Sunday's game.
Despite an obvious hesitation from head coach Mike Pettine, who declined to tell reporters who his starter would be on Friday and who seemed to prefer a healthy Josh McCown, Manziel will take the field against the division-rival Steelers.

That's only fair since we're starting Jarvis Landry.

NFL not yet done with color rush uniforms
There are three more “color rush” games this year, the next being next Thursday’s Titans-Jaguars game featuring all-blue and all-gold uniforms. The second most common form of colorblindness is blue-yellow.

Wtf is up with that gimmick? "That's what the fans want, players who look like they were drawn up on an 8-bit graphics processor."

I assume it's the same as the throwback uniforms: New uniforms to sell.

Goddamn. The least they could do is have a fucking colour scheme. This one tone shit sucks.

Yeah, I agree. Though I am curious to see more examples of it to see if it always sucks

I get teams need to make revenue and all that but couldn't we have some "exhibition" jerseys each year so they can gauge reactions to what they might want to replace their regular gear? Fucking hell, they could hold contests in each city and get virtually free ideas.

I'm already off to a shitty start in the cash league thanks to Thursday's game. However, I noticed my opponent is starting Lynch and Emmanuel Sanders, who both couldn't practice Friday. He doesn't have Lynch's handcuff and Rawls torched the Cardinals earlier this year.

Not how I expected that over/under to go, but I guess over.

Managed to win both fantasy leagues this week.

Observations:
Fuck Justin Forsett. Just been horrible this year. And Jeremy Hill.

Russell Wilson has underperformed, as has AJ Green.

On the flip side, Ryan Mathews has been better than I thought, Karlos Williams is impressive (I keep waiting for a Shady injury), and Gary Barnidge is easily the best pickup I made since grabbing Lynch several years back for $1. I still got some trade bait if I want to upgrade WR or QB in the cash league.

Tony Brown is back to kicking ass.

Wtf happened to the Rams D?

My roster in one of my fantasy leagues is full of studs, yet I'm somehow 2-8.

In my other league I've got shittier players, yet I'm somehow around .500.

Bad year.
