Duh. I honestly wonder if the NFL is going to address it. I heard an announcer, perhaps Collinsworth, say during a game this year "My whole childhood I knew about Tom Dempsey because he made a 63 yarder once. Nobody else came close for 40 YEARS... and now everyone is doing it." I could have said the same sentence and I assume everyone up to 2020 could. Now it's insane.

I preferred football when a 47 yarder was missed more often than made.

Commanders look legit despite the loss.

In my league with Stranger, the 1 pm games just ended and I've basically already won. That's a great feeling.

In my work (big money) league, we have 2 divisions. I'm #1 in one and playing the #1 in the other. I'm up about 10 points, but projected to lose by 3. I'll be sweating that one out for a while.

Now projected to win by 3 because Boswell is already at 9 points.

Fields looks extra terrible today. Nervous feet and sailing everything.

Commanders being above 500 is a win. The notion of being 11 and 6 and 10 and 7 is a win. I'm in.

Locked the win in one league. 99% in the other (He'd need Tracy to go off for 30 just to tie.). Got routed in back to back weeks in the league that doesn't matter.

Steelers won.

And hit two small parlays for $60. Not a bad day.

Unless you're a Cowboy fan. Ouch.

Embarrassing... Justin Fields is playing way better than anyone realizes.

My luck is sooo good, that I'm losing to the worst team in the league who is 20 points above their weekly average, with 2 players left to go, and I have none.

He either is super classy or he wanted his night to be over. If he scores, he has to play some more.

Last night's game was brutal for the Jets. Does Zuerlein still have a job today?

Adams to the Jets.

Fuck. Lazard was secretly one of the best fantasy football players to have. This will hurt his value.

Also, based on MNF, if you have Mike Williams, cut him now. He'll never see the field again outside of an injury.

he definitely did the right football thing to help end the game I'm not mad, I think it's absurd how many bettors and fans get mad at players.

Ok, you lost me here... he put two FGs off the uprights. Right football thing?

Nobody is perfect. I wasn't mad at Will Howard this weekend when he scrambled with 3 seconds left and slid at 0 seconds. Shit happens. Especially at the college level where they're just kids.

Except, still fuck Michigan.

Browns trade Cooper and essentially quit this season.

I’m so confused. I thought I posted a video of the defense player getting an INT with < 2 minutes left in the game and an 18 point lead. I had the Atlanta D on my team.

I’m on oxycodone, I didn’t even see your Zuerlein comment.

Yep, looks like we were mixing up the topic. No worries.

What are you on oxy for? You ok?
