Nobody questions the GOAT.

P.S. Fuck Mike Tomlin, Khan, and Rooney. The Steelers need a house cleaning from the owner on down.

Also, my powers may not be as strong as believed. I'm way ahead in both fantasy matchups. I'm up 19 in one and he has Elliot, but I have Barkley. In the other I'm done, up 50, and he has Hurts and Jacobs. If I lose in both, I will start demanding tribute lest I favor your favorite teams...

Yes, hooray for political violence!

But in reality, no, that's not why he punched him.

Figured Catt would like this since it says, "Fire everybody, except the GOAT."

PREACH. Also, fire anyone who dares to score a TD instead of setting up Bos.

Daboll back to Buffalo chatter.

The way the Bills were with Daboll versus how bad their offense has been lately kind of forces this conversation. The window to win a title is very short. Would you dump the current guy and grab the proven one with fresh baggage?

I ended up winning both fantasy matchups easily. You want parity? In me and Stranger's league (12 team), exactly half the league is 4-6, myself included. 2 teams are 5-5, including Stranger. 3 teams are 6-4, and 1 team is 8-2 (which is more wins than his previous two seasons by a large margin...). With 4 weeks to go, the lowest odds to make the playoffs is 17%.

To contrast, in my other league (10 team), 3 teams have a 1% chance and another has a 4% chance.

My league is pretty spread out. 9-1, 8-2, 7-3 (me), 6-4, 6-4, 5-5, 4-6, 3-7, 1-9, 1-9. Like God intended.

Strong agree, but that's FF.

It's a lot like poker. Yes, there is absolutely strategy and logical decisions that need to be made. Ultimately though, it all boils down to luck.

There's a site somewhere or an ESPN article that I've seen, that puts together a team of people each week that usually aren't on most people's fantasy teams. The point of the exercise is to put together a team that would have beaten your team. They're usually successful.

Giants sitting Wilson and will start Winston.

Week 11 buzz:
-Steelers are pretenders. Yep.
-Murray is probably not going to be a Cardinal next year. I swear you will find me at the end of a rope if...
-Here's a breakdown of the coaching candidates likely to be hired this offseason:
A lot of the coordinators getting head-coach-interview buzz as we move toward that part of the calendar are on the defensive side of the ball. The league is very impressed with what Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph -- who has head coach experience -- is doing in Denver. He's likely to get interviews along with the Packers' Jeff Hafley and the Chargers' Jesse Minter, who's of the same coaching lineage as leading Coach of the Year candidate Mike Macdonald in Seattle. Any or all could end up on the Giants' list of interview candidates, and it's not out of the question they'd take a look at their own two-time former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who has had Super Bowl success in that role in Kansas City.

On the offensive side of the ball, expect the usual suspects -- Buffalo's Joe Brady, Kansas City's Matt Nagy and Pittsburgh's Arthur Smith. Former Packers and Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is a name bouncing around as someone who could get a third crack at it. And there could be some college coaches in the NFL interview mix this time around. For example, there's some buzz that the Giants could want to talk to Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman if he's interested in exploring NFL opportunities.

On a FF note: Walker III, Bill, or Tracy? Walker and Tracy face tough Ds. Bill has the easiest D to face, but has sucked lately.

Also, in the other league, I think I'm actually sitting Josh Allen this week against TB for Drake Maye versus the J-E-T-S, Jets Jets Jets.

I keep playing Walker III and he keep underdelivering. Bill hasn't been doing much. Dunno anything about Tracy.

Tracy started the year off well as the Giants' #1, but then Skataboo took control when Tracy got hurt. Tracy's back in the saddle, and honestly, with Winston back there and not old man WIlson... He might be the play.

Seems better than getting angry every time Charbonnet steals a TD from Walker.

Steelers X has seen a lot of in fighting today as the "Fire Tomlin" crowd has never been larger or more vocal (welcome to the party 13 years too late...), and the Pro-Tomlin people are trying to defend him with:
-We just signed Asante Samuel Jr
-No losing season

It's been mildly entertaining, but this made me laugh out loud for real:
