So for the first time in his career Eli is getting to ride the bench in exchange for Geno Smith starting. On the bright side.  The Giants really can't do any worse and lets be real.  Eli is not as good as he once was.  This could lead to some interesting weeks ahead and probably talk of Eli wanting to leave the Giants.

I traded Big Ben in my Madden 18 franchise for this guy cause I have unwavering faith in his God given talent. He will not get the start this week but who cares this is progress. Also to do this the Vikings put Sam Bradford on IR.

ESPN article about owners having to turn over phone records for Kaepernick case. Owners turning over cell phone records for this Kaepernick case is amazing. I know this opinion is going to catch a lot of flack but it’s mine so I don’t care. Kaepernick needs to grow up and see the fact that no one is not giving him a job because he kneeled. If that was the case there would be a lot fewer players in the league at this point. The reason he is not getting a job is because he isn’t good enough to justify having all the baggage that he has now made for himself. If he was still a superstar player that would be a key part to your team he would have a job. But he is a average quarterback which now brings so much baggage to a team that no one wants to deal with that. I don’t see how this case matters.  The NFL is a business and they do not have to employ anyone. He had a job choose to leave that team and no one else wanted him so that’s that.

He could just make it to the playoffs by appealing every week until the season is over. Congrats Cowboys fans your season lives another week.

Well Houston gets one W and then takes a huge L.  Win the World Series and then lose your new star quarterback. Watson tore his acl and he is out for the season. R.I.P Texans season. 

  Of all the things to try to connect to NFL Protest this one is kinda out there but hey ride that train Papa John’s. I mean always better to have someone else to blame other than yourself. Not that maybe your pizza is garbage or maybe no one is ordering pizza from you anymore. There are lots of reasons. I personally don’t think that the NFL is effecting the sales but hey what do I know.

Seen above is my worthless team. They looked so promising at the beginning of the year and then somehow they have all fell into this slump that has lead us to a 5 game losing streak. I think the Madden curse has fallen on my fantasy team because of Brady. We were 3-0 and I was talking mad crap but then all of a sudden these idiots decide no more. They are going to lose every match up we play this year. I’m done with this team. The year can end now and we can move on.

This will more than likely lead him to signing with the Pats. I think if I was the Patriots I would have kept Garaoppolo. Update. Hoyer signs 3 year deal with the Patriots.

ESPN has for as long as I have been alive, been the go to place for sports news and to watch games. Waking up to watch College Gameday or Sportscenter and see the things that I may have missed or relive some of the best moments in sports. They were the industry leader in sports content and everyone was chasing them. I believe that time is coming to a close and it is coming faster than most expect. With outlets such as Barstool Sports and Bleacher Report coming on to the sports scene ESPN has lost some of its following and I think I know the answer to that as well. When I go looking for sports news that’s all I am looking for is sports news. I don’t want to hear about politics or anything of that nature. That is what Fox’s News and CNN are for. I don’t go to a sports website to see which player disapproves of the president this week. I go to see what the score was to the late NBA game that I fell asleep watching. That principle is what is killing ESPN. They have allowed th...

When I first saw this clip last night I thought it was a dirty hit. But upon further review I think it’s mostly Flacco’s fault that he took that to the head. Alonso was in the motion to lay that hit when Flacco slid. It wasn’t a late hit and it wasn’t targeting the Refs made the right call not ejecting Alonso on the play.   Flacco will slide just a little sooner next time he decides to break out the pocket and trot down feild.
