yes that's very hot and i'll deal with it in the morning


Last week, on 1KYOB...

  • A whole slew of busts, with 10 players shooting for the moon but ending up amongst the stars. Not a record week though - that honour belongs to week 3, with 14 busts/failed Cojones thanks mostly to the virile Fitzpatrick. Another curiousity to note - all busts chose players from GB, whereas our top scorer for the week chose C.J. Beathard. The true champion QB? Perhaps, if only his last name was pronounced beat-hard like I thought for probably far too long
  • Congratulations to our top scorer von Metternich and condolences to our first bust fishing with the fam - both players ended up an equal distance either side of 1000
  • Of course it would be the cursed Patriots that ended our longest Gruden's streak. A pox upon their house! Play and Coolwhoami keep on truckin' however
  • Leperflesh tried to leave a tip but their whole arm fell off instead, leading to the biggest bust this week and the second-biggest of the season (current record holder: Epi Lepi, 1330, week 2)
  • Sexual Lorax is our Grinder of the Week this week! Although I'm beginning to worry about their mental state...

Note to players

Entry formatting rules will be strictly applied. Entries should be formatted as per the below:

DEN - Peyton Manning - Passing Yards
MIN - Adrian Peterson - Rushing Yards
DET - Calvin Johnson - Receiving Yards
BDN#: PHI - Carson Wentz - Passing Yards (this is your BDN number)

If I find a problem with any entries I'll reply with the entry quoted and what was wrong with it. Entries can be corrected either by editing the original post before any players in the entry start their game, or by replying with an updated entry. If you edit the entry in-place, reply to the thread to let me know.

Any entries with invalid formatting that haven't been corrected before the first player listed starts their game will have all regular players replaced with Meat Starlord and the BDN# replaced with Sandwich Montoya, all with random team and yardage types. May the Levenshtein distance be ever in your favour...

Notes to Grinders

  • Grinder submissions for week 7 will be about C.J. Beathard and can be submitted any time from now until the Tuesday after MNF this week.
  • totally losing my mime/DariusLikewise - I've penalised you each 5 points for not submitting a Grinder post for week 5. This penalty will continue to accumulate each week until you enter a Grinder submission, however you can get the penalty points back by 'backfilling' Grinder submissions for previous weeks. Just enter them in the current week's thread and tag them with the appropriate week.

How do I play 1000 Yards or Bust?

See this thread!

Tokens!

Tokens are back again this year. What's a token you ask? Good question:

Because 1KYOB is inherently a game about selecting offensive players, tokens were originally created to celebrate the superlative defenders of the NFL as well as introduce another strategic element to the game. The tokens apply to your BDN Number player and only your BDN Number player, but you can't cheat and edit them in if you're heading into Monday about to bust: if you haven't declared you're using a token before the first player on your list starts, you're SOL. Each token can only be used once per season unless otherwise noted.

To play a token please copy and paste the image as well as the name of the token after your BDN Number.

This year there are seven tokens, split into four different categories - Normal, Supplement, Special, and Just Win Baby. You can only use a max of one token per week from each category.

NORMAL TOKENS

THE MACK TOKEN




A running back's worst nightmare is to make a cut towards an inviting gap only to see Khalil Mack suddenly appear, arms wide in welcome embrace. Particularly so when Mack has crossed half the country and a whole conference to unexpectedly crush this naive NFC North rusher twice a season.

You may play the Mack Token when your BDN Number is a Running Back. If your BDN Number would bust your score, this token will zero out their score! Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

THE HAYWARD TOKEN



Casey Hayward is one of the premier CBs in the league, and after he has assimilated the life force of the rest of the Chargers' defense a la Jet Li in The One he will become unstoppable.

You may play the Hayward Token when your BDN Number is a Wide Receiver or a Tight End. If your BDN Number would bust your score, this token will zero out their score! Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

THE GHOST OF SAN DIEGO PAST TOKEN



Prior to his untimely death, Joey Bosa terrorized offensive lines and QBs coming off the edge. Becoming phantasmal can only improve his game, turning him from 'difficult to block' to 'impossible to handle unless you know five kids and a dog with a van'.

You may play the Ghost of San Diego Past Token when your BDN Number is a Quarterback. If your BDN Number would bust your score, this token will convert your QB entry to use Rushing instead of Passing yards, as the QB can think of nothing but fleeing for his life. If you are already using Rushing yards for your QB entry, this token will zero out their score as the QB remains rooted to the spot in fear. Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

SUPPLEMENT TOKENS

THE MERCURIAL GENIUS TOKEN




Note: see the bottom of this post for clarifications on this token.

Marcus Peters is an extremely talented CB who is prone to, uh, 'shifts' in mood that can affect his performance. One week he will smother a #1 wideout so thoroughly that the receiver forgets his own name, the next he's launching flags into the crowd and himself out of the stadium.

You may play the Mercurial Genius token alongside any of the above Normal tokens - it cannot be played by itself. The Normal token acts normally, and if you need it to avoid busting (or if you bust regardless), it will be consumed. However if you do not need the token to avoid busting, the Mercurial Genius token will return the Normal token back to you to be used again in a following week (i.e. it will refresh the token). The Mercurial Genius token itself can be played any number of times during the season, unless...

...your BDN Number blows up and exceeds the relevant yardage limit (Rushing: 100, Receiving: 100, Passing: 400). Then the Genius will get himself ejected for the rest of the season and your BDN Number will have a record game! Specifically, their yardage total will be set to the relevant all-time single-game record below:
Rushing: 296 yards (Adrian Peterson, Vikings vs San Diego, 2007)
Receiving: 336 yards (Willie 'Flipper' Anderson, Rams vs Saints, 1989)
Passing: 554 yards (Norm van Brocklin, Rams vs NY Yanks, 1951)

If this happens and you still don't bust (what kind of strange list are you running?!?) then the Normal token will still be returned. The Mercurial Genius token is always consumed after the Genius is ejected.

SPECIAL TOKENS

THE MONSTER COJONES TOKEN



A reminder of the most balls-out playcall I've seen in a Superbowl, and - as a Jets fan - a delightful way for the Patriots to be humbled on the biggest stage in American football. I'd like to take this opportunity to bring up that the Patriots also tried a similar play in the same game, showing us that sometimes it is ok to count out Touchdown Tom.

If you declare the Monster Cojones token during a given week, it gets you 50 bonus points for a top 10 score and 100 bonus points for the best score of the week, but if you finish outside the top 10 you get zero, so you better catch that pass! In addition, you can use the Monster Cojones token as much as you want if you keep getting the bonus, but if you use the Monster Cojones token and fail to make the top 10, you can't use it again for the entire rest of the season unless you hit a perfect thousand. Not for the faint at heart!

and lastly...

JUST WIN BABY TOKENS

THE 10(00) YEAR GRUDENREICH TOKEN




Note: see the bottom of this post for Grudenreich token clarifications

This token can only be used once a season. When you play this token, you pick a team. As long as this token is in effect (you are a Gruden, Grudening your way through the season), your lineup must consist of only players from this team (except for Monday night, unless that team is also playing in which case your Monday night player must be from that team otherwise submit a regular list). If the team wins that week and you do not bust you get a five point bonus that week. This bonus increases every week while the token is in effect, so if your team wins and you don't bust the second week, you get 10 points bonus, and so on. This token stays in effect for 10 weeks unless the team loses, you bust or fail to make the top 10 with a COJONES in effect, or we reach the end of the regular season. Bye weeks do not count against the total for this token and for that week the token is considered not to be in effect - you can submit a regular list under the regular rules, and the token effect will resume the following week.

While the token is in effect, the following additional rules apply:
- Normal tokens can be used, and are not consumed after use (unlimited use while Grudening - that 100mil has to go somewhere!)
- Supplement tokens cannot be used
- Special tokens can be used
- You can use the You're Trading Me Where? token, see below.

If you make it the full 10 weeks you will get another 50 points bonus (giving a total bonus for that week of 100 points, and a total points earned of 325 over 10 weeks), but if you fail in any week then from the following week until the end of the regular season you become a Grinder and go back to commentating MNF. You will:
a) automatically be assigned the losing QB as your BDN Number every Monday and
b) must make a post at least a short paragraph long in that week's 1kyob thread extolling the virtues of the losing QB of the previous week's MNF game and how much you like their hustle.

I will collate all of these posts into the OP of the following week's thread. Failure to make this post will result in being penalized double however many points you earned from the token but this penalty will only be applied in extreme circumstances - I'd rather people have fun with the commentating! Each week I will choose the Grinder submission that I feel is the most in the spirit and give the Grinder 5 bonus points that week. Note that if there is only one Grinder, they will automatically get the bonus (unless I am the only Grinder - I can never receive this bonus).

While Grinding, you have access to two additional tokens - the 'Murderer's Row' token, and the 'Revis Island' token, see below. These are Just Win Baby tokens, and can be played alongside Normal, Supplement, and Special tokens. Note that even if you play these tokens, your Grinder commentary is always about the previous week's losing QB.

If the effect terminates due to reaching the end of the season, this is not a failure and you will receive a prorated bonus amount (50 points minus 10 for every week short of 10 you were, minimum 0). So if you have completed 4 of 10 weeks, you get 0; 7 of 10, you get 20.

YOU'RE TRADING ME WHERE?



This is a Normal token and can be played any (and every) week that you are Grudening. If you play this token, you can switch teams while maintaining the Gruden effect. You must specify a new team and your list for the week you play this token must reflect this new team. You cannot choose a team on a bye. But be warned! In the week that you play this token, you must finish top 5 (and of course your new team must win) otherwise your 'coaching genius' aura and mystique will evaporate, you will become a Grinder, and additionally you will receive a score of 0 for that week.

MURDERER'S ROW



Ray Lewis is a team player in all aspects of his life, and in 2000 he led a suffocating Ravens defense to victory in Superbowl XXXV. This Ravens team was notoriously difficult to run against, allowing only 2.7 yards per carry on average over the season.

This is a Just Win Baby token and is only playable by Grinders. Playing this token will switch your MNF player from Losing QB to Losing WR, as running is not an option when you meet Lewis and friends in a dark alley or on the gridiron. This allows you to play your Hayward token (if you still have one). However! Since you are selling out against the run, the losing WR's base yardage is doubled. The Losing WR is the WR with the most receiving yards on the losing MNF team.

This token is unlimited however can only be played alongside a Hayward token. You can play the Genius token as well in the same week, see below for how they interact.

REVIS ISLAND



The Revis token makes a comeback! Revis was the league's best cornerback during his prime, and was a keystone of the Jets' defense from the point he was drafted until his injury in 2012. He is also at least partly responsible for me being a Jets fan, so I have a real love/hate thing with him.

This is a Just Win Baby token and is only playable by Grinders. Playing this token will switch your MNF player from Losing QB to Losing RB, as the team's #1 WR goes on a tropical holiday for a week. This allows you to play your Mack token (if you still have one). However! Just like the above token, since you are selling out against the pass the losing RB's base yardage is doubled. The Losing RB is the RB with the most rushing yards on the losing MNF team.

This token is unlimited however can only be played alongside a Mack token. You can play the Genius token as well in the same week, see below for how they interact.

Interaction between the Genius token and the above tokens

The base yardage of the BDN# player is used to judge whether the Genius is ejected. If the Genius token is ejected, the base yardage of the BDN# player is replaced with the relevant record yardage. If you play one of the above tokens alongside a Genius and a Mack/Hayward, and your BDN# player exceeds the relevant yardage limit, their base yardage is replaced with the record yardage, and then it is doubled. All other rules applicable to Genius tokens apply, see clarification section below.

THEME WEEKS

There are no theme weeks planned this season, but that may change as the season goes on. If a particular week has a theme it will be announced in the OP for that week.

Have fun!

TOKEN CLARIFICATIONS

I'll try to collate any token clarifications I make during each thread in this area.

Clarification 1: The Genius Token

The Genius token will return the Normal token if you don't need the Normal token to avoid busting. If you do need it (or bust anyway) the Normal token is consumed and not returned. The Genius token itself is always returned unless it gets ejected ie your BDN number exceeds the yardage limit.

For example:

Pre-Monday yardage total: 920
If Brate goes for 70: no bust, both Hayward and Genius tokens returned
If Brate goes for 100: Hayward token activated, Brate yardage becomes zero, Hayward token not returned, Genius token returned
If Brate goes for 120: Genius ejected, Brate yardage becomes 336, total yardage 1256, bust, Hayward token not returned, Genius token not returned

Pre-Monday yardage total: 600
Brate goes for 70: no bust or ejection, both tokens returned
Brate goes for 120: Genius ejected, Brate yardage becomes 336, total yardage 936, no bust, Hayward token returned, Genius token not returned


Clarification 2: Of Grinders and Grudens

Becoming a Gruden

To become a Gruden, play the Grudenreich token in any regular season week. You can only play this token if you are not a Grinder and are not already Grudening.

Being a Gruden

You are considered to be a Gruden from the first week that you play the token until any of the following occurs:
  • We reach the end of the regular season
  • You reach the 10-week Gruden limit (this includes the week you play the token but does not include the week when your chosen team is on bye, so if you play the token in week 4 and your team has their bye in week 7, then the last week of the token is week 14)
  • You bust, fail to back up a Cojones or a Trade token, or your team loses (collectively: the 'Gruden check')

While Grudening, the following token rules apply:
  • Normal tokens can be used, and are not consumed after use (unlimited use while Grudening) - note that while Grudening you can use any Normal token that you've previously consumed before becoming a Gruden
  • The Genius token cannot be used
  • The Cojones token can be used if and only if you haven't already failed to back up a previous use of Cojones prior to becoming a Gruden
  • You can use the You're Trading Me Where? token

While Grudening, the following entry rules apply:
  • If your team is not playing MNF, then your entry must solely consist of players from your team plus any MNF player as your BDN#
  • If your team is playing MNF, then your BDN# must be from your team otherwise you can use any non-MNF player in your entry
  • If your team is on bye, then you should submit a normal entry using any players that you like (with one and only one MNF player as your BDN#). See further below for more info on bye weeks.

At the end of each game week (after MNF for that week), the 'Gruden check' is applied to all active Grudens to determine if they will continue as Grudens into the next week. Grudens failing this check become Grinders the next week, see below. If a Gruden passes this check, then they receive a bonus to their score for that week equal to their accumulated Gruden bonus up to that point. If the Gruden's team also won their game, then an additional 5 bonus points are added to their score for the week and to their accumulated Gruden bonus.

E.g. if the Grudenreich token is first played in week N:
pre:
Week   Grdn Streak  Acc. Grdn Bonus  Bust?  Team Result  Grdn Bonus This Week
N      0            0                N      Win          5
N+1    1            5                N      Tie          5
N+2    2            5                N      Win          10
N+3    3            10               Y      Win          0   - failed Gruden check
N+4    -            -                NA     NA           0   - is a Grinder
When your Gruden team is on bye, the Gruden effect is suspended and you are considered as a regular player for that week. The Gruden check will not be applied, you will not receive your accumulated bonus, you cannot become a Grinder, you can use any player you like, your normal tokens are not unlimited, you can use the Genius token, etc. The Gruden effect will resume the following week. Note that if you have consumed any Normal tokens prior to becoming a Gruden, these tokens remain unavailable during your bye week.

Becoming a Grinder

If you fail the Gruden check in any week then you become a Grinder the following week. For the week in which you fail the Gruden check you do not receive a Gruden bonus, but otherwise your score is calculated normally taking into account any Cojones or Trade tokens in play.

The Life of a Grinder

Once you become a Grinder you stay as a Grinder until the end of the regular season (you are 'Grinding'). A Grinder is essentially treated the same as any other regular player except for the 'losing MNF QB' and 'commentary' rules. This means that:
  • The Mack, Hayward and Ghost tokens can be used if you did not consume them prior to becoming a Gruden - note that Mack/Hayward require the use of the Revis Island/Murderer's Row tokens to switch your BDN# appropriately
  • The Genius token can be used if you did not have them ejected prior to becoming a Gruden
  • The Cojones token can be used if you did not fail to back up a previous Cojones token either before or during your tenure as a Gruden
  • The Grudenreich and Trade tokens cannot be used

While Grinding, you are automatically assigned the losing QB as your BDN# each week (the 'losing MNF QB' rule). You are still required to have a BDN# in your entry for your entry to be considered valid. Your BDN# should look like the following:

BDN#: MNF - Losing QB - Passing Yards

In the pre-MNF report all Grinders will be included under the 'Losing QB' player name.

While Grinding, each week you are required to submit commentary on the previous week's losing MNF QB (the 'commentary' rule). For all Grinder weeks except for the first this means you will be commentating on the MNF QB you were assigned the previous week, but for the first week it will be whichever QB lost on MNF in the last week you were a Gruden. E.g., if you fail the Gruden check in week N the timeline is as follows:

pre:
Week   Status   BDN#                  Commentating on       Commentary due by   
N      Gruden   User-defined          -                     -                          
N+1    Grinder  Wk N+1 losing MNF QB  Wk N losing MNF QB    24hrs after end of MNF Wk N+1
N+2    Grinder  Wk N+2 losing MNF QB  Wk N+1 losing MNF QB  24hrs after end of MNF Wk N+2
During the closeout of week N, I will collate all Grinder submissions about the week N-1 losing MNF QB, choose one that I think is the most in the sprint of Gruden's tenure on MNF, and give a 5 point bonus to that Grinder's week N score.

Clarification 3: Tiebreakers

Ties are broken as follows:
  • Whichever list has more players
  • If both entries have the same number of players - whichever list was entered first

Clarification 4: Using the same player more than once

You can use the same player more than once but you cannot use the same combination of player and yardage type more than once. So - to use BDN as an example - you can list Nick Foles three times in one entry (for Passing, Rushing and Receiving yards) but you cannot list Nick Foles - Passing more than once. If you use a player more than once they have to be listed on separate lines for each yardage type you want to use:
pre:
PHI - Nick Foles - Passing Yards
PHI - Nick Foles - Rushing Yards

Week 4 - Ryan Fitzpatrick

Elephanthead posted:

Ryan Fitzgerald, what can you say about a man that had been on more teams than Terrel Owens. This Patrick Fitzryan is having a hell of a season. He hasn't looked this good since he took his SATs. That beard has saved more flavors then a Baskin Robins. It makes this old man happy to see someone almost as old playing at a high level. He is the Gruden Grinder on the week.

Week 5 - Case Keenum

Elephanthead posted:

Casey Austin "Case" Keenum you are the grinder of the week. You may have been an undrafted free agent but you are always the agent of our affections. Be a Texans, a Ram, a Texan, a Ram again in LA, a Viking or a Bronco, you always manage to be just good enough to not be benched but not good enough to win or keep your job. That is grinding at its best. Where will you be playing next year? No one knows. That is what makes you special. That is what makes your the grinder of the week.

Sexual Lorax posted:

THANKS, BJORK. IT'S TIME FOR THIS WEEK'S GRUDEN'S GRUNION, AND LET ME TELL YOU DO I HAVE A STUD PICKED OUT TONIGHT. I CALL THIS GUY HARD CASE, BECAUSE HE'S AS HARD AS THEY COME, THIS CASE KEENUM. I'VE WATCHED HIM DEVELOP AS A QUARTERBACK FOR HIS ENTIRE CAREER FROM POSING WITH A FOOTBALL IN BABY PICTURES TO THE PROS, AND I CAN TELL YOU WE SAW HIM GO FROM FIFTY PERCENT DICKHEAD TO TWENTY PERCENT DICKHEAD IN THE SPACE OF A SINGLE MONDAY NIGHT GAME. HE THREW THE BALL ALL OVER THIS KANSAS CITY CHIEFS DEFENSE, AND WHEN HE WASN'T ALMOST BEATING THEM WITH HIS ARM, HE WAS ALMOST BEATING THEM WITH HIS FEET. THIS GUY, I SWEAR, WHEN YOU WATCH HIM SCRAMBLE OUT OF THE POCKET, IT'S LIKE WATCHING AN ENTIRE KINDERGARTEN CLASS TRY TO CROSS A STREET WITHOUT A CROSSING GUARD JUST ARMS AND LEGS EVERYWHERE. I THINK HE WOULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM MORE AGGRESSIVE PLAY CALLING IN THE SECOND HALF WHEN THE KANSAS CITY DEFENSE WAS STARTING TO SLOW DOWN, NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME OUTSTANDING TALENT ON THAT SIDE OF THE BALL AS THEY SHOWED. TAKE THIS THIRD AND LONG EARLY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. I WOULD HAVE CALLED SCATTER TO TRIPLE LEFT U SHORT SPIDER 2 Z BANANA X OVER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SPACE THE CHIEFS BACKS WERE GIVING THEM. AS LONG AS CASE CAN STAY HEALTHY AND HAS A SOLID O-LINE, PRO BOWL RECEIVERS, A TANK OF A RUNNING BACK, A CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENSE, GREAT SPECIAL TEAMS, AND A COACHING STAFF WHO KNOWS HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS NATURAL TALENT, THERE ISN'T A SINGLE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE THAT CAN STOP THIS GUY. WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEING A LOT OF HIM ON SUNDAY FOR THE REST OF THIS SEASON AND FOR MORE SEASONS AFTER THIS ONE. WIN OR LOSE, I JUST LOVE WATCHING THIS GUY PLAY, BJORK, AND THAT'S WHY HARD CASE KEENUM IS MY GRUNION FOR THIS WEEK.

Week 6 - Alex Smith

Elephanthead posted:

What can you say about a man that looks at Donald Trump's hands and says drat those are big. Yes, Alex Smith is a terrible QB, but he is the best game manager on the Washington DC footballmans. 10 yards in the air passes are just more likely to be intercepted. This Grinder knows that. He works for his passing yards, none of this 40 yard per attempt crap. A Grinder needs 10 completions to earn those same yards, not like some garbage time Dree Brees record breaker. Unleash the dragon? That sound dangerous and unwholesome, no sir Alex Smith will not be doing that. We salute this Grinder for his hard work and honest passing yards.

Sexual Lorax posted:

THANKS, BJORK. IT'S ALMOST TUESDAY, SO THAT MAKES IT TIME FOR THIS WEEK'S GRUDEN'S GREMLIN. I CALL THIS WEEK'S GREMLIN ALEX BLACK SMITH NOT ONLY BECAUSE HE'S A WHITE GUY PLAYING FOR A TEAM WITH A NAME SO RACIST THEIR TRADEMARK WAS INVALIDATED, BUT BECAUSE EVERY WEEK WE SEE HIM HAMMER DEFENSES OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH HIS ARM LIKE A BLACKSMITH. AND IF THIS GUY'S ARM IS THE HAMMER, THAT MAKES HIS RECEIVING CORPS THE ANVIL, BECAUSE THEY'RE BIG, HEAVY, IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE OFF THEIR ROUTES, AND MAN CAN THEY TAKE A BEATING. LET ME TELL YOU WHY I LOVE THE BLACKSMITH. HERE'S A GUY WHO IS JUST HERE TO PLAY FOOTBALL DAY IN AND DAY OUT. THE GREAT BRETT FAVRE SAID THAT THEY PAY HIM TO PRACTICE BUT HE PLAYS GAMES FOR FREE, AND I SEE SMITH TAKING THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. THE WAY BLACKSMITH PLAYS, IT'S LIKE HE DOESN'T CARE IF ANYONE PAYS HIM AT ALL. HE'S JUST OUT THERE FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME, AND YOU CAN SEE IT FROM HIS ONE INTERCEPTION, HIS THREE SACKS, AND THE SIXTEEN PASSES THAT DIDN'T HIT THEIR MARK, ALL THE WAY TO HIS ZERO TOUCHDOWNS AND 34.4 QUARTERBACK RATING. YOU'D HAVE TO LOVE THE GAME TO STAY OUT THERE ON THAT KIND OF NIGHT, AND BELIEVE ME THIS GUY DOES. IT SHOWS IN THE PLAYS HE EXECUTES, TOO. TAKE THIS U ZAP TO WEST RIGHT TIGHT F LEFT FAKE 99 TOSS CRUNCH NAKED RIGHT, FOR EXAMPLE. I WOULD HAVE CALLED ZEBRA TROJAN FAR WEST RIGHT SLOT X SHORT 200 JET SMOKE X CHOICE, BUT IF BLACKSMITH IS GOING TO GET A LEMON LIKE U ZAP, YOU BETTER BELIEVE THIS GUY IS GOING TO MAKE LEMONADE OUT OF IT. WITH A HAMMER ARM AND ANVIL RECEIVERS, I GUESS THAT MAKES HIS LEGS THE BELLOWS OR SOMETHING. MAYBE TONGS WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE. ANYWAY, IF YOU LOVE WATCHING FOOTBALL, HE LOVES PLAYING IT, SO THAT MEANS YOU LOVE WATCHING HIM, AND ALEX BLACK SMITH IS MY GREMLIN FOR THIS WEEK.

C.J. Beathard what can I say about a man I know nothing about. You are the starting QB of the 49ers. You almost beat the packers in Green Bay. The Packers have decided to maximize Rodgers comeback they are not fielding a defense this year. A bold move to sell more cheeseheads. This did not stop you from a decent performance and that makes you the Grinder of the week. You do you and prove to everyone that a random guy is better than Case Keenum or Derek Andersen? Soon Kaepernick should be your owner.
