As much as I think the NFL is blacklisting Kaep, he turned this workout into a circus. He didn't show any talent that makes him worth the headache.

I actually am not sure he even wants to come back to the league. He's already got money, and I think he's now simply living off notoriety.

Going back to the league won't help him. He's got a platform. If he plays, he loses it.

You really think it's an organized effort? I think his talent to hassle ratio is just too low to be employable. They even hire guys that have domestic abuse scandals as long as they're smart enough to shut up.

Somewhat, yes.

Baker looks fucking ridiculous with that mustache. I can only assume everyone in his life hates him or they would tell him.

Browns at Steelers and tons of empty seats at kickoff. Mike Tomlin!

Haskins just threw a pass to his lineman's butt. Not quite a butt fumble...

Did the butt catch it? They're winning, so Haskins must be doing something right. Maybe Washington should hire Urban?

There's no way Duck Hodges is going to be a legit starter, right? He doesn't look terrible, also known as "Mason Rudolph". Makes you wonder why he started the season on the practice squad while the Rudolph experiment got so much time.

Duck's biggest flaw is that under duress he always goes to his right.

TJ Watt is a fucking beast. I'll give Tomlin or Keith Butler credit, the defensive front is really playing well right now. Still not a legit contender though.

The Bengals are hammering the Jets. WTF was Cincy doing sitting the Red Rocket or now playing him? Had they played him last week they would have beat the Steelers. They start him now when they're on pace to get the #1 draft pick. Why? What are you doing? If you don't like Dalton and want someone new, then why play him and give yourself a better chance to win, and thus, give you a worse draft pick.

It will be interesting to see where Dalton ends up next year.

Their only TD was a pick six. So, not really. The D has really stepped up after allowing 14 points on the first two drives.

Me: C'mon Redskins, just fucking lose and get a good draft pick.

Also me: But if they win out, they could still clinch the NFC East at 7-9! :)

Yeah, I dunno. I mean, go ahead and lose out

Steelers just got hosed on a downed punt call...or they didn't? I have no fucking idea. I know Gene whateverhisnameis just came in and used the phrase "gray area" when discussing the rule, so I'm leaning towards they got screwed.

The NFL office claims the play ended when a Brown picked it up, but Dan Fouts is saying if it was a pass it wouldn't be considered complete, so how can they say the Browns player had possession. He's got a point.

Steelers still are already out to the 34, so the ruling didn't hurt them. Just very weird.

I can't believe they're winning this game with 2:50 remaining.

The SF-Bal rematch in the Super Bowl should be pretty good.

Tomlin gonna Tomlin. 3rd down after the 2 minute warning and he has the team passing. He also clearly didn't tell his rookie QB to just take a sack if in trouble.

Once Duck throws he also gets hammered. No flag. Three plays later Mayfield throws a pass and gets hammered in the same amount of time...flag.

And...Mayfield gonna Mayfield. Game over.

I guess it doesn't matter. We don't have a first rounder this year. Might as well go to the playoffs and lose in the first round again.

I was just reminded that technically Duck was a 4th string QB. That is correct. The Steelers started the season with BB, Dobbs, and Rudolph, while Duck was on the practice squad.

For the briefest moment, I thought these two headlines were related, then I remembered that the Eagle put all their faith in Wentz.

Man. Losing to Miami. That's looooowwwww
