Nearer My Football To Thee

Both kinds! We’ll have the American sort soon enough and if memory serves the EPL even sooner. I could in theory look it up but it’s just that-a theory.

Let’s take a looky-loo at some camp crap that some folks are latching onto.

Parker Washington is getting all kinds of buzz at the Jags camp. Apparently he can get separation at all three levels and making the pick of Brian Thomas Jr in the 1st look like a massive over reach. But BTJ did have a great rookie year, so weird to see his play deteriorate so much.

Remember Him?:

The corpse of Joe Mixon is going to get a few carries for the Texans during their first exhibition. Does anyone actually know the extent of his injury? It was kept under wraps as though it was a state secret.

Another fantasy darling expected to rise as the Bears O improves is Luther Burden but he just got knocked down a peg by a groin thing and is not expected to play during preseason. Give Odunze and Loveland a bump in your non-existent fantasy ratings. May as well include tight end Loveland as well.

Another tight end looking to benefit from uncertainty is Tyler Warren of the Colts. For some reason the club gave Alec Pierce a boatload of money and now his initial injury return timeline has gone kablooey. I don’t know why a guy that knows about 5 routes was given that amount of cash but Warren is a talent and should be Danny Dime’s release valve. He should put up WR2 numbers.

It’s Monday, did you do your best under the circumstances?

/oh shit! Another shoutout to BFC for giving me a much needed break. I’ll be forever thankful for about 10 days.
