Karlos Williams is going through the concussion protocol right now, which means I get another week to complain about cutting Fred Jackson.

What the hell?
I didn't even know he was injured...
At this point might as well sign Ray Rice its apropos to get him since we are also getting fellow slugger IK back.

*sigh*

Whaley said they might reach back out to Bryce Brown, heh. Otherwise, get ready for the Triple Woods Offense.

With LeSean McCoy sidelined and Karlos Williams dealing with a concussion, the Bills will work out Trent Richardson, source says.

Oh c'mon, there has to be better options. Isn't Bradshaw a free agent?

The Bills secondary has been talking a lot of poo poo about Odell Beckham today. Beckham threw a punch or two, I guess.

Duke Williams (who is really bad): "You expect him to be a stand-up guy but I guess it is a part of his game. He likes to throw cheap shots... and gets away with it."

Stephon Gilmore (who is really good): "He’s not Sammy Watkins. He has good hands, he can catch. He’s good but he’s not what people think after that one catch."

The Rex effect.

FanDuel were implicated in this poo poo too, weren't they?

The guy who worked for DraftKings used DK's internal stats to bet on FanDuel. So, no, but it definitely doesn't help them in the court of public opinion.

I don't play fantasy sports, how does knowing the percentage of other entrants that have picked a player for their fantasy team before you pick yours give you an advantage?

In the case of these one-day things, if you pick a player everyone else has picked, you do nothing to separate yourself from the pack. If one of your chosen players does well, you sort of tie with everyone else. If you choose a unique guy and he does well, you have a major edge.

Another layer to the scandal, though: DraftKings bro also had access to every individual line up. I believe he is also accused of checking out the highest-performing players and just stealing their lineups.

He is and he got shut down that game. But saying Watkins is better is meaningless since he's injured constantly. Just about any receiver is better than the one who isn't playing

I'm jealous of the Giants because they got a better receiver than we did and didn't have to give a first-round pick to do it. He's getting some backlash because he's been a bit overexposed, but he had one of the most impressive rookie campaigns ever and said exposure is arguably justified.

WITH THAT SAID, I am sick of seeing replays of his fantastic incompletions that were just like THE CATCH. We get it. He can catch the ball like that. It doesn't count when he does it out of bounds. Stop showing me replays of an incompletion!!

I don't know how NFL practices work. I just like the " Tannehill is a crybaby" narrative.

I like the “Tannehill is a great carpenter” narrative where he just looks for excuses to offer to build people trophy cases.

Is the sandwich for Reid, and he's giving a thumb's up, or is the sandwich for the other dude and Reid is giving a "where's mine?" gesture? That has never been clear to me.

I always figured it was the former and was surprised that there was an alternate interpretation.

#Texans coach Bill O’Brien says Brian Hoyer is his starting QB (again).

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

O'Brien says he's comfortable switching quarterbacks because he approaches the regular season like it is actually sixteen, one-game seasons. By that rationale, he is still benching his quarterbacks mid-season.

Tom is completely right about this. I eat a lot of veggies and natural greens and never get sick, and my dad and I are basically the only people we know that don't take any prescription drugs or other medicines on a regular basis. Tom is entirely right about this.
