Welcome to Thunderdome

Say what you will about the Lions, but they are the ONLY team in the ENTIRE NFL who has a 3-number palindrome for their record.

...And here we go again. Coach Stefanski has Covid for the second time and will probably miss this weekends game. I'm guessing there will be more positive test results before Saturday's game.

... And now Baker Mayfield.. LOL

NFL, NHL, basketball... lots of covid going around. And, just in time for fantasy playoffs for the NFL!

Watched that live, and I didn't know that rule either. Brilliant move.

I get Stranger's brother whose team barely beat mine last time. The catch is it was one of my highest scoring weeks ever. I've been looking at the matchups, and I'm not feeling confident particularly with Lamar hurt.

I've secretly been hoping his players would get covid!

Jaguars fire Meyer after yet another story of him being an ego driven tool.

Case Keanum might be my new favorite QB. This is next level humor. He thought this one out:

I have to assume Meyer won't be able to go back to announcing/commentary either, no?

Bill Simmons recently asked Cousin Sal how Meyer was received at Fox when he worked there and Sal said everyone loved him. So I think he could go back to that world, but only for college.

However, I think Urb needs some time to pass before he makes another run at any job.

If I was his advisor, I'd tell him to sit down and write a book about his life, including his mistakes, in a very self-aware way. Hint: He really needs to come to terms with the fact that he treats people like shit. He needs to admit it and apologize for it.

Once that book hits, he could probably do anything he wants.

Before this disaster is Jacksonville I saw him returning to OSU someday to take over the AD job from Gene Smith (who gifted Alabama a national championship that we should have won - just putting this here because it's a mistake I'll never forget).

Seems fair. Then go back to college

I'd say go to commentary or an AD job. Coaching should be in the rear view. All he can do at this point is tarnish his reputation further.

Hit piece on Urban.

Why do I call it a hit piece? Because all they did was collect negative opinions of him from around Twitter and compile them into a "story".

Current and even former players may not want to say too much about Meyer's firing, but fans and the media were there to pick up the slack.

However, don't sleep on this thing, there's gold in them thar hills!
The Warren Sharp tweet, the Action Network tweet nailing Meyer with his own words, Schefter pointing out how successful college coaches don't translate to the NFL, etc.

But of course one asshole, Kendrick Perkins, has to make it about race. FFS Kendrick. We're trying to have a society here!

He can rehab. Winning and being a slightly better person helps.

Sadly, they apologized for this apology, but by all accounts, Patrick's brother is a massive tool.

Fuck that game tonight.

I'm now down 40 points in both fantasy playoff games and I lost $15 thanks to the Chargers refusing to kick FGs and Keenan Allen not getting 2 more receiving yards.

Chargers deserved to lose with the constant going for it on fourth down. 3 or 4 times they were inside KC's 10 and went for it on 4th resulting in 0 points. They lost in OT. Any of those FGs would have won them the game. Bad coaching.

Also, they should let Ekeler score all their points, fuckers.

I hope that coach is getting raked through the coals today for the failed 4th down attempts. Kick the fucking FG! Points win games.

All he was doing was telling his defense that he has zero trust in them.

All he had to do was GIVE IT TO EKELER.

Seriously 4 tries on the first one, with no runs?

Ekeler gets 60% of what you need on the 2nd one IN ONE TRY, then let J Herb fuck it up again for 3 tries?

3rd one - J Herb + J Jackson, no Ekeler again.

SEE A FUCKING TREND?

I mean, Ekeler's also the only one of those people on my fantasy team, but still

Browns vs Raiders moved to Monday @ 5:00.

With the new protocols for Covid testing which will supposedly let players that test positive but are asymptomatic still be able to play, there is hope that many of the Browns will be able to play.

Raiders players are now pissed.. LOL, go figure.
