I'm questioning the intelligence of the dudes I play fantasy football with. I didn't learn it wasn't a PPR league until after the draft, even thought the commish assured me before that it was. And 15 waiver claims for the entire season? Christ, I'll burn through that in a month.

Mark Titus is currently trolling Browns fans over that news on Twitter.

Meanwhile, here's Chris Kluwe in a hilarious piece on the replacement refs.

They're terrible. Crazy phantom calls, no calls, and I've never seen so many late flags. Apparently, receivers can now dictate if they were interfered with...

There seems to be no major rush to get them ousted and have the professionals get back in. How long before all penalties are just decided by crowd or online real-time voting?

Depending upon your definition of "god awful, " I guess. I am by no means a NFL-calibre officiating guru, but when I'm noticing shit that's going wrong, I can only imagine what the coaches and players are seeing and thinking.

Final votes will be in after Monday night. We'll see if Seattle triumphantly thrashes Green Bay.

Only one of those two surprises me. I've got the QB/RB combo for the one that doesn't.
