Well that's just great I habe jordan love as my qb.  Dude was gonna have a killer season now I'm stuck with the almighty Daniel jones.  I hate fantasy football I swear it always happens lol.  Feel bad for the dude.  End of the game and in Brazil no less. 

Side note, glad the giants didn't resign barkley he looked terrible last night lol.

As a Bears fan I’m obviously pretty happy about the Packers loss last night, though the loss of Jordan Love is a bit different of a story. I never like to see guys get hurt like that and I hope so see him back on the field sooner than later, but I do also hope he has a terrible year lol.

I’ve got Barkley in one of my leagues, dude beasted.

2nd from the last play of the game and now out for 3-6 weeks. Packers season just went in the trash can unless their backup is just and absolute miracle worker. Didn't get to see but the 1 play from Willis and they got to him pretty quick.

Far as Barkley goes, holy crap was he something. He had an offensive line that opened up some holes for him. I don't really feel like he had that with the Giants.

As of right now they are “ruling” him out for roughly 3-6 weeks, which on average I guess players tend to be held out on the longer end of projected timetables like this, but still even at six weeks there’s still plenty of time for the Packers to come back and be a pain in Chicago Bears fans asses like they have been for the last 4 decades plus lol. I dunno, we shall see I suppose.

Tyreek Hill was detained on his way to the game today.  It appears he was pulled over for speeding, but then got arrested, put on the ground, hand cuffed, then subsequently released.  The latest is that he's at the stadium and ready to start in today's game.

Not covering these spreads by a point or two is pretty irritating. Not like I was betting big bucks today,  but still, normally I find my most success betting on NFL games are the first couple of weeks of the season. I did hit on Thursdays game so “2-4” now , so things could be worse I guess.

Oh boy... it's gonna be a long season. My team is so comically bad that I don't even know where to start fixing it

The silver lining is that with only 10 teams there should be some serious hidden gems on the waiver which could allow you to fix your team.

When it comes to my team, my main worry is WR Drake London, I watched the Falcons Packers game and Kirk Cousins looked terrible, the guy has several games each season in which he looks lost, but this felt different, as if he no longer had what it takes to be a starter, and I can only hope I am wrong on my assessment or I will have to bench London and it is not as if I have a replacement for what I thought could be my WR1.

I have london in one of my other leagues, he is going to be fine.  Pitt was a tough first game and kirk will get his feet wet here.  London will put up good numbers all year I would guess. I like my squad but I hope kelce isn't time managed this season.  I might have taken him 1 year too late.  Other than than I'm riding with my squad good bad or indifferent. Was a good first weekend so far. (Unless you are a giants fan )

Jordan Mason said the team told him FRIDAY that he'd start Monday night. Probably he wasn't supposed to say that.

Well, to be fair, CMC was listed as questionable.  Still, to show up on Monday not suited up, after having been listed as questionable all weekend yet knowing since Friday that he wasn't going to start...  Shanahan just fucked over a shit ton of Fantasy owners with that rug-pull.

Tyreek is a straight ghetto thug.  I have no lover for him once I found out that the allegations of him hitting his x wife/gf or whatever and his child (one of now I guess 10 children by like 7 women or something like that.

Found a new & interesting article discussing what a swell guy he is - https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nfl/news/tyreek-hill-domestic-violence-child-abuse-investigation/neqfn40200lt16ik2142ay772

Shanhan doesn't give a shit about us fantasy players unfort lol, but he will care about Mason spilling the beans about being told he was going to start Friday, which means they withheld an injury from being reported which is against the rules.  I hope they are reprimanded in some way.

That is crazy footage. Someone probably should have let the cop know that those players are the reason they’re there at the event in the first place. When he started getting in Campbell’s face demanding an ID you could tell the cop had completely lost it. I’m sure he’ll be fired. It’s crazy how some police watch criminals stealing and look the other way, but pull a man out of a supercar because he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

Eli-2 Brady-0 vs. Moon Coiners matchup was fun as a neutral on MNF.  Coiners were on the verge of making a dramatic comeback, fucking Jake Moody with 26 fantasy points outscoring everyone on both teams, including benches. G. Wilson's eight-yard rec in garbage time was the decider. I'm glad it wasn't me, it's too early in the season for heartbreak. Lol


Quick thoughts on my team:

- McBride did not have a crazy production, but drawing 9 targets from Murray is encouraging, second most targets among all TEs.

- Achane is primed for a monster year imo. I can't believe he slipped to me in the late 3rd round. #DeVonIntervention 

- Corum handcuff dream might be over. The Rams' offensive line is decimated. I doubt McVay will trust a rookie in pass protection. If anything happens to Kyren, it's probably R. Rivers, not Corum.

- I'd like it if the Bengals and Ja'Marr Chase could figure out that contract, please...

Overall, i'm happy with my team.

The kicker being the best player on my team is quite telling isn't it LOL

It also says something about the overhyped niners (sorry Dire) kicking a bunch of 40+ yard field goals against the goddamn Jets.

Was a crazy finish to our game.  No way I thought they'd throw to Wilson with time running out, thought they were gonna run the clock out and end it.  I was sweating bullets everytime that 9ers drove that kid was gonna kick another field goal.  To be fair the jets defense is going to be really good this year.  Even better if hassan redick would end his holdout.  Was surprised the jets drove down so easy on theor early td drive and then just got stone the rest of the way through.

Lol, yeah they're supposed to be protecting them, not harassing them.

When he started getting in Campbell’s face demanding an ID you could tell the cop had completely lost it. I’m sure he’ll be fired.

Here's the body cam footage of the cops getting all uppity.  There will be some backlash from this, no doubt.  First off, Tyreek handed over his ID.  After that there's no reason for him to keep his window down and no law that says he has to.  Anyone with that kind of mentality has no business being a cop.

You couldn't make this shit up, for real.

I am very much disappointed on mr. immunized Aaron on having a performance that was without the very much hyped Rodgers resurgence. I thought +4 would on the Jets will win against 49ers without McCaffrey hehehehe. This rookie Jordan Mason was a good replacement.

In any case, on the very important news on why I am presently posting here. Taylor Swift has officially endorsed Kamala Harris! Travis is very shocked and feeling very betrayed heheheh! He should officially endorse Trump to reclaim his manhood!

This is why a lot of leagues have voted to do away with kickers (and some also doing away with defenses).  I personally remove kickers from the leagues I manage as I try and set leagues up in a manner where you remove as much luck from the game as possible.  Kickers tend to just score points on a lucky whim, not that there aren't good kickers whom score more often than others, but a lot of it is just luck based on the game script.  I have Dallas' kicker and dude dropped 21 pts ..not fair imo.

Hence my vote to remove kickers next year lol.

I like that idea would have made last week a lot less stressful lol.  With that being said a couple notes about last nights game: Tua should retire.  In all honesty dudes brains are gonna be marbles in a couple years if he keeps taking  hits like that.  Obviously that cranium can't take hits like others can.  Second is achane is an absolute monster, and was a value anywhere after top 2.  Yeah I said it.  He will likely end up RB1 even without Tua.  Dude is sneaky quick and has sick vision.  Week 2..let's go!
