Live From Thursday: Lightning Crashes and So Do The Jets

And Pete Carroll is on record saying that Building 7 was brought down by forces pulling from the center of Earth again.

Flotsam and Jetsam:

-Biting The Hand That Feeds: ESPN has tossed out a story that the NFL filed a grievance against the Players Union because of the annual report card report. I’m a bit surprised given that these guys are partners now so investigative reporters at the WWL are just a rumor. My guess is that it was dumped in their lap by a whistleblower and they had no choice but to air it.

-Given the large Latino community that is in Florida, the Fins want to be the team of Spanish-speaking folks the world over, hence the game in Madrid. Or so goes the thinking. You Spaniards that are leaning towards embracing the team? Be prepared for increased usage of the phrase “DIOS MIO!” 

-Jameis Winston has been given the green light to start for the Giants this week. I’m thinking 300+ yards, 3 TD’s and 4 INT’s including a pick 6.

-Fantasy projections are wonky at best but I’d like to give a shoutout to MATH HARD! and its love of Jordan Addison. In his last three games he’s totaled 35, 28 and 46 yards. Overall since his return from suspension his projection has never been below 24 points. Every. Single. Week.

To The Game!

Jets/Pats:

-It’s so little but it’s not nothing-since Glenn decided not to announce the Jets starting QB the Jets are 2-0. However, when Fields is healthy he is under center.

-Now the last time he was out Fields passed for an un-whopping 54 yards and 42 of them were due to a swing pass to Breece Hall for 42. His prop tonight is 134.5. Maybe take the under? Maybe? Never tell me that I’ve never done you a favoUr.

-At 8-2 the Pats have equaled their win total over the last two years. A win tonight would put them at 3-0 in the division and well ahead of the 2-2 Bills. I love being the bearer of bad news.

-Bench Breece Tonight: New England’s rush D is the best in the league-no running back has reached the 50 yard mark yet this year.

-The Drake is on pace for 4,300 passing yards, single-handedly dragging the likes of Kayshon Boutte and Kyle Williams into fantasy relevance, sorta.

Perhaps we could name Pete Carroll’s favorite conspiracy-related cover bands? Mine is Steely Beams.
