    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    going to come out and say it, I thought a 1st was too much for Cooper. Mostly b/c the rumor was Dallas was only bidding against itself at that high a price. I knew he'd improve their team but was fine with them blowing a 1st for it. He's been crazy good for them, though. That offense finds a...

    Pretty sure Sanchez already lost his gig, even with this against ultimate prevent.

    What was supposed to be a semi "big early season Metro" game was whatevs. 4-0 win and frankly it should have been worse. Nice to see Holtby rebound with the shutout. Bottom 6 guys stepping up with Oshie and Wilson still out.

    I have nothing against Toronto, and kind of wouldn't mind watching them win a Cup in a few more years...but part of me would love it if they just get put out by one of Tampa/Boston/Washington/Pittsburgh in 6 games or less just to quiet down some of the rising...chest thumping going on up there.

    The Capitals have actually been really lucky in that Ovechkin and Backstrom are still performing at elite or close to elite levels...the emergence of Kuznetsov and Carlson, and getting some young talent to step up like Vrana and Wilson. Ironically not having too many "elite" defensemen to pay...

    Stars got old...on super long contracts. Traded Panarin away for Saad's return to Chicago...and took the worst of that deal hardcore. Seabrook's contract is probably by far the worst. Toews and Kane are tied with Carey Price for the 3rd highest cap hits in the entire league (yes, ahead of...

    I'm the same way with baseball. Can watch the playoffs, it's actually exciting then. 90% of the year though, hockey and football for me.

    In my 12 man the last place guy has to do the Polar Bear Plunge they have here to support Special Olympics. Few of us go to support and have a good time always live music, food/drink, it's a pretty big event. Lot of fun watching whoever it is have to take the dip.

    Yeah my best waiver pick up was Tyler Boyd. Missed out on Lindsay and Chubb by 1 waiver spot each. Really would have been a different year had I got either of those guys. Also made a trade around week 9 for Alex Collins when the Ravens had the most butter schedule for RB's ever down the...

    Yeah I think Hopkins is the #2 WR, and honestly he may be just as good as AB. Not that they'll always be 1/2 in fantasy but in general I think Hopkins is underrated. People are still sleeping on the Texans a bit, which is understandable when AFC already has KC/Pats/Chargers/Steelers (not to...

    Yeah I ran Breida as my RB2/flex for a lot of the year. My big issue in my 12 man was in round 3 Mixon went 3 picks before me and Kelce 2 picks before. Because I'm stupid, I thought that was too high to pick Ertz, so I narrowed it down to another WR between Fitzgerald and Thielen. I...

    AJ Green was still there for pick 25? That's crazy. I'm saying that where my 12 man league (in that league I took Gordon 8th and Hunt went right after him at 9th) had a massive run on RB's too. Before I picked in the 2nd at 17 after the Hunt pick still had Fournette, Dalvin Cook, McCaffrey...

    I think it was a terrible play for the guy after me to go double WR. But you do see some variation. Frankly I played in two leagues a 12 and a 10 picked 8th in 12 and 9th in 10 and got Gordon with my first pick both times. To be honest, I think guy who took OBJ prior to Gordon in the 10 was...

    10 man league. I picked 9th, snagged Gordon. Guy after me took Hopkins and Julio. Scooping Hunt was an easy choice then. Even better next time around I was able to get Kelce and Thielen. Frankly I should have walked to that league's championship but I've had some ridiculous luck (2 losses...

    I was going to start him. I lost Melvin Gordon and Kareem Hunt in the course of about a week. Not THAT many extra RB options in that league. Just got talked into a different setup earlier today. Oh well.

    Losing Sanders sucks for Denver after they already traded Thomas. Whatever slim playoff hopes they might have had pretty much gone without him imo.

    Gotta be honest, a lot of that is on him (and many other guys in the league) who don't properly strap their helmets on. It's not good at all to watch, and hope he comes back soon because we need him.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    Most of those guys went to situations where there wasn't an established starter, though. Or at least behind a guy that has a history of injury. I'm actually surprised Philly didn't move Foles once Wentz was considered 100% (both from an asset management standpoint to get the most for him, and...

    Gonna be honest, there's an argument that it should just have been 2 for interference. Helmet comes off and his head hits the ice...just wonder if they're reffing it to the end result. It was late and ended up from the blind side, but Wilson did turn around right before the hit was coming. I...

    Sanchez can ensure we lose out for 6-10 and potentially end up with a top 10 pick...which we could trade out of and hopefully pick up another 1st in 2020. Even if it's multiple 2nd's or something, you want the draft capital as ammo to potentially move up in 2020, which is supposed to be a...

    Nah the article I linked didn't really touch on racism at all, just the assumed kaep sux meme as a passer. It was a little more in depth than that, guessing you read someone's political piece article trying to push that as the reason he wasn't signed and why people crap on his ability. Just...

    Forgot to mention I'd be in favor of moving on from Gruden too. I'm not going to lie that he absolutely has a right to point out the amount of injuries that have really been too much to overcome last year and this year...but we're literally going from 9-7 to 8-7-1, to 7-9, and probably 6-10...

    Shit...I'm not sure he SHOULD accept signing with us for rest of the year. If we won another game, it would be a miracle. 3rd string guards and rest of O line is banged up as well. Skins fans bitching about not giving AP more carries after the 90 yard TD run...but fail to recall we gained 8...
