  1. I think he doesn't have a job not because of his political stance, but because he is a distraction. NFL teams have historically avoided starting, impact players that are distractions (Terrell Owens), much less a backup player in this situation. The instance where his GF posted that pictures of Ray Lewis and the owner... I am sure the players would have loved to be interviewed about that had he been on the active roster. I am not saying an employee should be fired for kneeling for the national anthem, but there are always stances so extreme that it would warrant a firing. Imagine a member of the Westboro Baptist Church working for you.
  2. Imagine if you put a controversial political stance in your work e-mail signature. Do you have the right to do it? Yes. Will it likely have negative consequences? Yes. People that are pro-kneeling want the players to be able to protest without there being any negative consequences what-so-ever and that is unrealistic considering how polarising this is to many people. Even Trump wasn't saying the players don't have the right to protest... He was saying the owners should fire them for doing it. Everyone says that is an attack on free speech, but it's not. It is no different than your boss firing you at your job for protesting your political views.

    Willie Snead

    What are the expectations for Willie Snead coming off suspension? I am needing a replacement for my Terrelle Pryor slot.
  4. I don't need to use a waiver. Should I drop either Tyler Lockett or Willie Snead to pick up Kendall Wright? .5 PPR Thanks

    NFL lead investigator recommends no suspension for Zeke.

    I didn't follow the Tom Brady thing, but wasn't there a similar "scandal" there since he destroyed tapes? Nothing became of it right?

    But does the league really care if it looks bad? Everyone is still going to watch the games. Roger seems to operate with zero regard for public opinion other than wanting to appear tough on domestic violence etc to keep sponsors happy.

    So on the surface, Goodell seems corrupt AF. Is anything actually going to come of this? He got away with suspending Brady and nothing happened to him. I don't know why the owners put up with this guy other than the fact that he must make them truckloads of money.

    Luck or Kaepernick?

    Obviously a must win situation in the playoffs. My team has great matchups this week except at the QB position... I am looking at Luck vs MIN or Kaepernick vs ATL. I am not a big underdog or over dog - it is pretty 50/50. Thanks in advance

    DEF for week 15 & 16

    I have a BYE during the first round of the playoffs and thought I would go ahead and pick up a DEF in anticipation for weeks 15 and hopefully 16. Who do you guys like for weeks 15 and 16?
  11. Henry has been solid for me lately except for the egg he laid yesterday. What do you guys make of the Gates/Henry TE situation in San Diego moving forward? I can't afford to keep them both when their bye comes up.

    Todd Gurley

    Not a flop but he left some meat on the bone. Three carries on the goal line...

    Todd Gurley

    Anyone nervous about Todd Gurley tonight? I am still nervous about his three consecutive duds before last week. I can't stomach a dud tonight with three days to go in the week!
