I have two questionable players this week. Reed and Coates. I'm hopeful Sammy can get back as it's just a finger. For Reed I'm debating Hurns @Chi or Quick @Det.

Hmm, just looked at Bennett was still available and they're playing at home against Cin this weekend. He had a huge game last week and Gronk's still not 100%. I grabbed him and dumped Flacco since Brees already had his bye this year.

Hurns. Case Keenum is worse than half of Blake Bortles.

The Dolphins offense is floundering. Mostly because their QB is this guy

Participant in one of the most painful moments on an NFL field might still be alive if he had a real Hummer instead of a wussy H2.

Because my dipshit commish can't figure out how to make instant waiver adds work on Sundays, I'm totally fucked at WR this week. Fucking Will Fuller, who's been practicing ALL FUCKING WEEK, is sitting tonight's game. All my other WRs are out or already have played. I'm 1 WR short of a full roster.

I've never had a season this bad at WR, fucking ever. I touch them, they die.

Mike Wallace
Steve Smith
Will Fuller
Eric Decker

All in the past 2 weeks. I thought last year was bad when I was picking up a new RB off waivers every 3 weeks.

You know what's awesome? Shutting down the Eagles' O, and having a 14-0 lead. What's not awesome? Blowing that lead by letting them return a kickoff for a TD, and then a pick six.

The NFL's digital media policy (no clips, gifs, etc) is retarded, and teams are making fun of it

RBG calls Kaep's protests "dumb"
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke out about the sports protest movement started by San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick -- where he kneels during the national anthem -- calling it “dumb and disrespectful.”

Ginsburg, who has served at her post since 1993, and is a popular figure among liberals, particularly for her advocacy of gender rights in the court, spoke about Kaepernick and other political issues of the day in an interview with Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric.

“Would I arrest them for doing it? No,” Ginsburg said about the protests. “I think it’s dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning. I think it’s a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.”

Bills fans went all in on bashing Kaepernick.

Shady McCoy did the opposite of Kaep's protest. Somehow claims the two aren't related...

Richard Sherman cheated to win.

Big Ben's getting surgery.

Mike Tomlin needs to correct his staff's pattern of laying down for inferior teams. Every year they lose 2-3 games against shitty teams and that's all on him. Fix it or fuck off.

In other news, my fantasy team lost by 13 points thanks to my WRs racking up an amazing 5 points total. 5 fucking points.

Funny that I'm actually upset that Ben is injured, he's my fantasy QB and that is gonna sting a bit. Also, I find myself wanting the Eagles and Carson Wentz to fail more than any other team in the league, so good job by the Skins they did the Browns a solid!

The Redskins really had them figured out. 14 of those points for Philly were D and ST, so the O did almost nothing until late.

Which is good, because the Redskins D has issues.

Pussy league:
Over half my team was out with injuries this week. I'm thinking my season is utterly fucked because with the exception of Hurns, all my WRs are dead or underperforming. Since Decker and Woodhead are dead and Rodgers is sucking, I've got no trade bait. #1 RB, though. Can't trade him because he's half my points and I got him cheap enough to make a keep next year worth thinking about.

Someone laughed at me when I grabbed Brees as my QB. "He's old and washed up."

I think only Big Ben has more points, and that may have changed this week?

Brees is 7th in our league, but that's before this week's results. Had a monster week.

He is. But even Kurt Warner had a good year or two at the end.

I only ever worry about him on the road. At home I know he's getting 30+ points.
