NFL Notes: It's lucky: the knee Le'Veon Bell tweaked on Sunday versus the Dolphins doesn't show any ligament damage. He's being held out of practice, and will be a gameday decision on Sunday when they play the Giants. It's expected: speculation has already started about where Cam Newton will play next

It's been a fairly hectic time on the old internets this week. My Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, made the news by avoiding Halloween costumes this year, because - well, you know... He just ran out of ideas. The Not-Montreal-Expos won the World Series, touching off a strenuous yet polite online debate in

NFL Noise: Today is mostly injury updates: Drew Brees is practicing like he expects to play on Sunday. It is a home game versus Arizona, so there's no real rush to get him out there like it's a must-win game. After this week, it's four in a row against divisional opponents

Twitter only did two things correct yesterday. The first was to let the readers of [DFO] know that love is both dead and alive. https://twitter.com/Daily_Star/status/1185150782615609344 If this ugly, yet obviously well-hung troll can land her, then any of us have an equal shot now that she's wounded. The second was to let me know

NFL Nuggets: Sam Darnold has been cleared to play this Sunday against the Cowboys. He was apparently all-but-ready to go against the Eagles, but an ultrasound showed an enlarged spleen, a side-effect of mono, apparently. GRONK ON FOX NOW!

It was a fairly long week at school. Cold & flu season has begun in earnest, combined with the calendar making Canadian Thanksgiving a week later than normal. The result was certain of my co-workers taking their sick days earlier than normal, and the site being shortstaffed to the point

Before I begin - a big shoutout to Horatio for helping work up ESPN blowhard Darren Rovell on the Twitter. https://twitter.com/HoratioCornblo3/status/1179243440820932609 https://twitter.com/HoratioCornblo3/status/1179247261181792257 That's good enmity.
