It's not a huge comp pick cancellation, but the Ravens could afford to play Cooper Rush for only a couple more games before he'd qualify as a compensatory free agent against them that'd cancel out a 7th rounder in 2026. An added reason to play Tyler Huntley beyond on the field.

$15,000 is a stiff fine for a rookie like Cam Skattebo. Typically, Appendix U of the CBA caps first offenses to no more than 10% of the player's cap number for the game, which in Skattebo's case would have been $6,157.

(As an aside to close out--have we ever seen Hank Scorpio and Sean McVay in the same room?)

This Sunday, the Broncos and Cowboys meet again. Will The Curse Of Hank Scorpio be lifted? Or will Homer continue to try to cheer himself up by batting the light bulb in the basement, knowing what could have been had he accepted the gracious gift he was given?

Others...not so much. Such as 2017, a 42-17 blowout. https://t.co/MCOoQoSUQh Or in 2021, where the Broncos secured a 30-0 shutout until the Cowboys scored some garbage points. https://t.co/ezMGAJSlxu

'The husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church.' - Ephesians 5:23 Men submit to their wives' needs as she submits to his leadership. As Christ sacrificed himself as a ransom for all, we men must sacrifice ourselves to protect innocent civilian women.

Or, in 2013, where offense dominated until a late interception of Tony Romo--who will be calling the upcoming matchup--provided the defense needed to secure victory.

Some of these were thrillers. Such as in Thanksgiving on 2005, where Ron Dayne broke a long run to seal the game in overtime. https://t.co/VPjqcy0OKE

But The Curse Of Hank Scorpio doesn't end there. Since then, the Broncos and Cowboys have faced each other 7 times. The Broncos have won all 7 games.

As for the Cowboys since then? No more Super Bowl wins. No more Super Bowl appearances. And even the longest active NFC Championship Game appearance drought! And over twice as long as the next NFC team!

At this point, we must observe a brief interlude to recognize the immense contribution that the other of the two greatest animated shows of all time made to this timeline: https://t.co/ln7JIuurHp

But, what's happened since then? Well, the Broncos became recognized, by the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, as a co-dynasty to the Cowboys of the 1990s, promptly winning back to back Super Bowls in 1997 and 1998 (and 2015).

Marge said this was pretty good! Homer accused her of not understanding football. That's because at this time, the Cowboys had won 5 Super Bowls, including 3 of the last 4. The Broncos had been blown out of 4 Super Bowls, the first of which was to the Cowboys.

Homer Simpson, a Cowboys fan, said his lifelong dream was to own that team. After seizing the East Coast, with his newfound power Hank Scorpio gave Homer "a start" toward fulfilling that dream. Homer...was not respectful toward what he was gifted.

Almost exactly 29 years ago, on November 3, 1996, The Curse Of Hank Scorpio was placed upon the Dallas Cowboys. Let's step through what this is, and how it's manifested over nearly three decades.

Finally, DJ Reed missing time due to injury has to be frustrating to the Lions. But there could be a very outside chance of a scenario like this that give them a 4th round 2026 compensatory pick if he continues to miss more time.

If Rico Dowdle qualifies as a compensatory free agent, he and Javonte Williams would cancel each other out with 7th round valued contracts, and open up a 5th or 6th round 2026 compensatory pick for the departure of a different player that Williams is currently canceling out.

Meanwhile, while the Cowboys have been canceling out a higher 2026 compensatory pick by starting Javonte Williams, Rico Dowdle balling out in Charlotte might get him above the qualification bubble if he hits some incentives.

If the Dolphins' season continues to go south, would they consider limiting snaps of those 3 players to protect that Jevon Holland 4th round 2026 compensatory pick? Only 1 of the 3 can qualify to save it, or 2 of 3 if Da'Shawn Hand plays enough for the Chargers.

Larry Borom also has $500k in incentives that he could earn if the Dolphins finish in the top 20 in points scored. They're currently 24th. If he were to qualify as a compensatory free agent, he also gives the Bears a long shot at another 7th round 2026 comp pick.

I now notice that the Dolphins have *three* players on the 2026 compensatory pick bubble to be concerned about. In addition to Ifeatu Melifonwu and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Larry Borom is also on the verge of qualifying, with 90% of the snaps at right tackle.
