Gross, but I'd still rather look at that than Torry Holt's hand.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The fact that Mayhew says the Lions are "buyers" at the trade deadline when they're basically out of the playoffs already is absolutely infuriating.
The guy traded this year's 3rd rounder to move up and grab a DT who barely plays. He has zero idea what he's doing.

If The Red Rifle can continue his great season.
This Bengals-Steelers game is gonna be high scoring.
I do think the Bengals can win it out due to a weak left side of the o-line for the Steelers.
Ben might have to move around more than ever.

Pierre Garcon filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of players against Fan Duel
Until you hit the Bengals Killer aka TJ Yates on MNF in 3 weeks.
Oh shit...
on what grounds?
Statement from him:
"I am bringing this lawsuit against FanDuel for using my name, image, and likeness in both daily fantasy contests and through advertising on TV ads and infomercials. FanDuel has taken the liberty to engaged in these actions without my consent and without proper licensing rights. As a result of these activities, FanDuel daily fantasy contests have shown increasing revenues leading to large profits. Therefore, on behalf of myself as well as any other players who are being treated unjustly, I chose to file a complaint.
"I have been advised by my attorneys not to speak any further on the topic while the case is pending. Any other questions regarding this matter can be addressed to my agent, Brad Cicala."
Seems relatively legit. Why only FanDuel and not DraftKings as well?

DraftKings has a licensing agreement with the NFLPA. FanDuel does not.

That they "knowingly and improperly exploits [their] popularity and performance without their permission.
I see them winnings on the using hisimage in infomericals without consent but whats the difference of someone winning money on a daily fantasy/weekly vs. people winning seasonal leagues for decades? How do they get that to pass in lawsuit and ye how is Draftkings or any other low key thing anything different where you can win money on fantasy leagues. Is fanduel the biggest in town over draftkings?

It's because seasonal leagues never made as much money so there wasn't really a point to suing. Once the money starts flowing, lawyers are soon to follow.
As noted, DraftKings has a NFLPA license, so they are allowed to use the players' names and likenessess to make money.

FanDuel is in Scotland I think? Maybe why they don't care about licenses?
Oh didnt see the license on the bottom of where I quoted. Interesting.
I would have to guess that most of the major traditional fantasy sites have an agreement with the NFLPA in some form. I could be wrong.
If nothing else, those sites certainly don't advertise using players names and images. Making money doesn't really have anything to do with it (aside from making themselves a bigger target), you can't use someone's name/image/likeness to advertise like that without their permission.
Must be using kas advice

No one should ever wear that in public. Shame on him.

"Interesting" as in "Mayhew and the entire front office are fired."
The thing that makes me mad is that if he's actually "buying," he's going to be screwing over the next GM.
Ice cold
That is precisely what I mean.

ESPN headline "Baltimore Ravens best worst team in NFL History"
Who the fuck cares? All I see is a team good enough to lose. They can't even fail right.
No! The story will not be interesting. It will be "Ravens finish 6-10 and pick 11th.

It's just an interesting statistical anomaly for a team that has played 7 one score games, most of which have gone down to their final possession, and the one game they won was the one where they were statistically dead in the water...twice.
I hate how you're one of five teams that are officially worse than Houston. STOP LOSING!
It's stupid because it's beyond obvious that Houston is the worst just by watching them play. But officially by the numbers, they're not the frontrunner for the first pick.
Fucking stuck between a rock and a hard place.

That should be the slogan of the AFC South.
Jags are on the uptick. If Luck is not 100%, and they don't clean up the administrative/coaching mess then Jags could actually give them a run for the money. Plenty of talent on that team, just needs to be realized.

Paper, what would you do if the Jags made the playoffs?
