The Nationals deserve every bit of bad fortune they get. Holy [expletive] lol

I'm going to be far and away the highest scoring team in my 14 team league this year through 8 weeks (despite losing Charles and having to grab bag for running backs every week since), and I'm going to be 4-4. This is because I'm going to have faced nearly 1,000 points scored against me (standard scoring) at the end of the week.

I really hope we are here soon.

Really wish Green Bay would've picked a week other than right before they face Carolina to struggle. Next week's matchup will be very interesting.

What a wild day. It's always the weeks that don't look like much

ESPN should have just dumped Grantland when they fired Simmons. Their half-ass attempt to keep it going as a small eff-you to him just makes them look even dumber.

@UniWatch on Twitter referenced a May leak. Those things are so cool I sort of can't believe adidas made them.

For now it is. Might as well keep his minutes low given his leg/foot issues

Watching Jimmy Buckets should be fun. And hopefully we'll see a good deal of McDermott and Portis.

Someone was SUPER impressed by the Tide's 0 wins over currently-ranked opponents.

I actually don't think Clemson is that good (they beat ND in large part because the Irish handled monsoon conditions far worse than Clemson, which isn't replicable), but they've given me no choice but to accept they're going to be in the race

MSU shouldn't be anywhere near the playoff. Clemson instead of them.

Never thought I'd see a division worse than the 2014 NFC South. Took only one year. Jacksonville might be the best team in the AFC South.

Just need FSU to beat Clemson now and the ACC is out (and ND's chances improve from "on life support" to just minimal).

Posted that before Tennessee O line decided not to play the final drive

So frustrating to see every team that has a chance against Alabama late do everything they possibly can to [expletive] it up

The color guy was just as ridiculous. "Boy, I'm just not convinced MSU is the best team in the country." With whom are you arguing that point?

I remember being legitimately irked that TLS started over Alcantara opening night.

The only time I ever really had a full-blown hangover was my 21st birthday (it was a Sunday so went out at midnight the night before). Minor ones otherwise maybe, but never anything that kept me from functioning normally.

I think Price is target numero uno and there's no close second. Zimmermann might be a decent move at the right price, but you rarely get FA pickups at the right price.

Like Schwarber? Schwarber hit .143 in this series. Murphy hit .529 throw aside the notion of judging via AVG, Schwarber also is not some random player. No kidding. Schwarber has demolished the ball at every level. He may be new, but he ain't random.

I seriously doubt this happens. He's still very much developing as a defensive player. Guy's been a professional athlete for all of 16 months. He'll get better on defense.

Bingo to the bolded. The 2008 team was better, the 2003 team got closer, but this team was the most fun, bar none.
