Terry McLaurin looks at the ref asking if he’s good - ref points back at McLaurin as of to indicate he’s good. McLaurin then gives a thumbs up to ref to acknowledge it. This “penalty” took a Brian Robinson TD off the board. Via

Has any current NFL player come out yet denouncing DeSean Jackson? I haven’t seen anyone but maybe I missed someone. You are either against all hate or you are not. It’s not a pick and choose proposition.
How is the NFL a multi multi billion dollar business but they won’t hire full-time referees and they won’t use technology to its full extent. This non call on Samuel, the fact they called the Raiders TD good… games are being decided by dead wrong calls.
Nick Foles down on the ground, after a sack and convulsing on the ground. They are bringing the cart out. As Kayveon Thibodeaux lays next to him doing a “snowman” and then goes to the sideline and celebrates putting Foles “to sleep”. Come on man.
Alex Smith:
*Told he might die
*Told they might have to amputate
*Told he might never walk again
*Told he'd never play football again.
*17 surgeries
Tonight he starts for WSH w/a chance to clinch 1st division title since 2015. Comeback player of the year. Name the award after him
Come on man. Dak Prescott introduced as Walter Payton Man of the Year award winner and booed heavily. You don’t have to be a fan of his playing but give it up for his community service. He’s a good dude. Come on
Then why don’t you? Ppl say that but then don’t put in the work. Anyone could have done what I did. Sent cold email to Rotoworld in 99. Wrote free for 4+ yrs. Built big enough audience to start my own blog (w/ no $) in 04. Then built THAT up to a point where ESPN bought it in 07.
Um, if David Johnson was so hurt that he was only going to play “in an emergency” why did you risk further injuring your franchise RB by giving him the first carry of the game? That was an emergency? Please fave if you hate the
@AZCardinals
twitter handle as much as me right now.
Early this week, I tested positive for COVID. I am experiencing minor symptoms & continue to isolate at home while I recover. I consider myself extremely fortunate.
I won’t be on
#FFNow
tomorrow but I look forward to returning to my normal schedule soon. Love you all.
1. Wasted Bijan Robinson’s talent
2. Wasted Drake London’s talent
3. Ridiculed public for questioning Ridder, then benched Ridder
4. Missed playoffs despite playing in pathetic division
Fitting end here, whining about a late TD.
This explanation from John Parry makes the refs sound even worse & is insane. He’s saying even though Decker reported to the ref it’s Decker’s fault that the ref didn’t recognize or hear him. SVP rightfully pushed back on Parry but Parry is defending ref for missing it. Unreal
I don’t have a strong rooting interest but feels like TB is getting all the ticky tack calls and KC isn’t. Doesn’t feel like they are calling the game the same for both teams. Anyone else?
A team of Andrew Luck, Saquon Barkley, Aaron Jones, Keenan Allen, Adam Thielen, Eric Ebron and then a flex of like Amari Cooper or Corey Davis would have gone undefeated in the regular season. And got destroyed today. Brutal.
I’m really excited about the future but there will plenty of time to talk about that before the season. For now, I just want to take some time to reflect and celebrate an incredible 15 years. Thanks for the support. I love you all.
So when Jalen Ramsey takes his helmet off on the field after a big stop it’s NOT a penalty but when DJ Moore does it after a TD it IS a penalty. Got it.
Alex Smith completes his first pass attempt. Seriously - I don’t care what happens the rest of the season. He should be come back player of the year and they should name the award after him.
I started Minshew tonight in two leagues. I recommended Minshew as a good play tonight on multiple ESPN national platforms. I am playing against James Robinson in 7 leagues. How’s your night going?
Just said this on

... If I had told you in June that you would get football this year but there will be some last minute game cancellations & a lot of moving parts... you'd have signed up for that deal ASAP. Stop complaining. People's health + safety > your fantasy team.
You want to lie to me
@azcardinals
about David Johnson’s health for competitive reasons? Fine. But when I believe your lie and start DJ / bench Edmonds you want to troll me for that? Ahem. I have some thoughts.
Because LeSean McCoy tweeted out a massive spolier for
#AvengersEndgame
a reminder that last year McCoy was held under 70 total yds in 10 of 14 gms, was RB45 in points per game & gained 5+ yards on just 25.5% of carries (among 47 qualified RBs, only Legarrette Blount was worse)
Steve Smith asks Cam if he should start DJ Moore on his fantasy team... with Moore standing right there. 😂😂 even Alll Pro WR’s have flex issues
#FantasyLife
Well yesterday was something else. Wow. Can’t tell you how much everyone’s kind words and support mean to me. Seriously. You have no idea. All the tweets, DM’s, calls, emails and texts. I’m reading every single one them. Love you all.
“Look I get that its a superflex dynasty league but it’s also TE premium scoring so taking Kyle Pitts over Trevor Lawrence was a no brainer because Kyle Pitts has a wing span of 83 inches. That’s more than DK Metcalf. Atlanta picked him 4th for a reason”
728 days ago was the last time Alex Smith started a NFL game. Brutal injury.
Told he might die
Told they might have to amputate
Told he might not walk again
Told he would never play football again.
Will start for WSH today. Comeback player of the year
Name the award after him.
Tom Brady:
Told he was too old.
Told he was a product of Bill Belichick.
Told he was stupid for leaving New England.
Tom Brady is now playing in his 10th Super Bowl & the 1st QB to do so in his team’s home stadium.

HOLY. %#^*. And THAT’S why you put it in the universe. Nick Chubb finishes with 5.8 points and this guy takes home BOTH titles. Well done man!!
#MondayNightMiracle
indeed.
Tim Tebow is rich & famous & on TV & the easy thing to do is to continue to do that. But he didn’t give up his dream. So now he’s going to challenge himself in a situation where success is definitely not guaranteed. Honestly, I admire the hell out of that and I’m rooting for him.
Daboll did an incredible job. Not arguing that. I’m a fan. But again - preseason win total for NYG was 7. They won 9 & stayed relatively healthy. +2 games over expected.
Seattle preseason win total was 5.5. Sea won 9 (+3.5) & no one mentions Pete Caroll who made Geno a thing.
In all seriousness, the NFL is basically admitting the game yesterday was not officiated at the kind of level a professional sports league playoff game deserves. There is too much at stake for players/coaches/franchises not to mention legal sports bettors for it to be that bad.
Fantasy football players may not watch games the way you prefer but what an awful “cranky get off my lawn” take. The average FF players watches more football, looks at more analytics and has a deeper roster knowledge of the NFL than the average NFL fan all day every day.
It’s very simple. Either Bijan isn’t the best guy in your RB room - in which case it’s a massive waste of draft capital OR… Bijan IS the best guy in your RB room and this is a mind boggling sequence of coaching. There’s no other reasonable explanation. (I’m pro Bijan FYI)
The Falcons had 1st and goal from the 1-yard line.
False Start
Pass to Jonnu Smith
Rush by Jonnu Smith
Rush by Tyler Allgeier
Field Goal
Bijan Robinson managers to Arthur Smith
Le'Veon Bell is not reporting to the Steelers by the 4 pm deadline today and is now ineligible to play the remainder of the 2018 season, source tells ESPN. His season is over.
Bell will become an unrestricted free agent this winter, when the bidding for his services will begin.
“We are continuing to evaluate the situation” = we don’t want to do anything here except this one statement many hours late but if there’s enough public pressure I guess we will have to. But we really need a reliable deep threat so, uh, did we mention we are disappointed?
Told he was too old.
Told he was a product of Bill Belichick.
Told he was stupid for leaving New England.
Tom Brady is now 1 game away from playing the Super Bowl in his home stadium.
