Well lookee here, a staggered slate for us to enjoy! And after that 5 game late window yesterday. Is the NFL finally treating its fans with the respect and dignity they deserve? (well, some fans) Probably not. I heard a wag complaining that it wasn't a doubleheader but this old

One for the road? Let's do it! To The Game! Chiefs/Falcons: -As predicted by many, Xavier Worthy came crashing down last week and had a very limited impact. He still got his measly three touches and amassed all of 22 yards. -Mahomes is doing his usual thing and taking what the D is giving

I'm sure this was some error by the sked makers that was somehow overlooked by the powers that be but it's too late and now we have choices. We can never go back! [looks at Week 7's late slate of three games] I guess we're going back eventually. To The Games! Panthers/Raiders: Ok,

Looking forward to today. Well, aside from that whole 'watch the Giants collapse in a new and different way' thing. Unlike yesterday's college offerings (some late games excluded) the NFL slate promises to be good. AND we've got a five game [faints] late slate that is a banger. To The Games! Chargers/Steelers: With two

As you may have guessed, I don't have high hopes for this game. Fortunately, when it comes to football I've been wrong many, many times before. Minutiae: -Eli Manning heads the list of retired players that are eligible for the first time to be voted into the Hall of Fame. I have

Week Two is winding up and we're here for it. My fantasy teams can't wait for this week to be over. Enough said. Fallout: -As noted in a slate preview yesterday (Broken Clock Alert) Kupp went down but it was much earlier than I thought. -Pacheco's fibula (sounds like a Star Trek galaxy)

Although I'm writing this Sunday morning at 9:45 EST, I'm fairly confident I'll be 0-2 in both Math Hard! and Freezer Vodka-I know my limits. Hope you're doing better than I am. To The Game! Bears/Houston: -The Caleb I saw in preseason did not match the one that played in the opener. The

There are three contests on offer-let's take a looky-loo. To The Games! Rams/Cards: With Nacua out early in the game last week Kupp had an insane 21(!) targets. So I guess the latter is going to get overworked until he goes down with another wear and tear injury then? As a football guy

Hey there's a wee bit of Premier League football action before the NFL type revs up so join in, if you dare. To The Games! Saints/Cowboys: Zeke and Rico split the backfield carries last week, settling nothing whatsoever. In a dearthly scoring week Derek Carr of all qb's led the league in most end

Welcome back! There was some quality participation in various threads last week and it was great seeing the usuals come hard after taking the summer off. That's some good commentin'!

My, it was great to get back in the swing of things except for that whole Giants implosion thing. But everything else was pretty good-switching back and forth between games, watching highlights, tracking my pathetic blowout out in MATH HARD! fantasy football, everything really. Now let's look at some stuff. Fallout: Injuries,

We made it! Actually, it was very easy-everything is shiny and new and wonderful. Unless your disappointing team lost, which they probably did. Damn it! To The Game! Rams/Lions: -All eyes look towards Detroit for the first time since Henry Ford was blaming the Jews for...everything. Those damn Protocols! -It sorta looked like Stafford
