Yeah, most likely.

Yup

2 Soundgarden songs early, eh? I met Chris Cornell back in 1990. I was 10 at the time, I believe he was with the band Temple (that sound right?). My cousin played for a band called Ambush, they were trying to be a heavy metal band in the 80's. A Swedish band copied them in the 90's lol. Anyway, there was some show that my cousin was playing in where Cornell's Temple band was playing in LA (shortly after my cousin's band moved out there). He was a pretty cool dude. But, I guess most guys treat 10 year old's that way.

Gotchya. Fair enough.

Right now, they're only 1 game out of the playoff hunt. At 2-3, there's only 7 teams with a better record. This week coming up, they go to Green Bay then a home game against Pittsburgh. Those are big games because that can put them over .500. After that, they get the Jets and Bears in Cincinnati. If they win even 3 of those 4 and move to 5-4, that's pretty impactful for their playoff hopes. The next 3 weeks are just as big with Pittsburgh again, then New England and Baltimore. If they can be, say 7-7 heading into the last 3 weeks and Burrow back, they should be able to beat Arizona, Miami, and Cleveland, to finish 10-7. Last year, 15 teams won at least 10 games, 14 made the playoffs. The year before, all 12 teams that won 10 games made the playoffs. Since moving to a 17-game season, only 1 team won 10 games and failed to make the playoffs. So yeah, it definitely was a move to salvage the season.

I absolutely believe that's the reason. Heck, he was able to light it up last year with trash. He'd break records with a "decent" offensive line, let alone a good one.

Screw that, fock the Brewers. That's probably the only scenario where I root for the Dodgers. If the Brewers went 0-162, I'd probably still be upset that they didn't get shutout in all 162 games.

I agree with Mike. While yes, I understand the rationale (getting the runner closer), I think at that time, it was a foolish decision. Stott isn't a great hitter vs lefties, but he's not that good against righties either. Prior to last night, he was 0-6 vs Vesia. Vesia needed to pitch to Stott, so like I said, I understand why they did it, but I'd have just let him swing away... or rather have used Bader to hit for him instead of using him for Marsh. You need the run. You figure out the defense later. If Stott K's and/or Bader gets that hit, Castellanos scores to tie the game. There was no threat of a double play.

When I was 16 and had to get a second job, I got one at a Starbucks because I specifically told the manager that I didn't like coffee and never drink it. She told me that they let their employees have any drinks they want on their break or at the end of their shift. I told her could I have water instead because I don't like coffee? She stood up, shook my hand, and said, "When can you start"? That was 5 minutes into the interview. Self check: I may have been 17 at that time.

Side note, I think Burrow should tell the Bengals after the season to fix the OLine or he's not coming back. Herbert should do the same thing.

Yeah, I really meant the WR corp. I think the backfield in Cincy is just as good (if not better), than Cleveland. I'm a big Judkins fan, but it's been 2 games. The OLine in Cincy is terrible, but as long as Flacco can get the ball out, he'll have much better success than what Browning had. That will also make the run game better. Because of that, he'll have way more success in Cincinnati. Now, if Flacco just "done", then it doesn't matter what team he's on.

That talent in Cincinnati is light years better than in Cleveland, so I think he'll do better than 5 fpg like the last games Flacco had, but even if he's putting up numbers like Week 1 (14 points), he's still not startable. There's 27 other QB's averaging at least 15. You need him for a bye week? Ok, but I wouldn't bid anything of substance for someone that might start 2 games for me.

I'm in a 2 QB league and Flacco was never on a roster... in a league where there are 40 QB's rostered, he wasn't one of them at any point.

I'm surprised the Browns had to give up anything to get a 5th. With the situation the Bengals are in, if they think they can still make a run until Burrow is back, they should've been willing to give up a 4th for Flacco straight up.

In a league that starts 2 QB's by default and has a superflex where you can start 3 QB's, I'd say in that league, I'd consider $1... but probably not pull the trigger.

Some do, yes, but not sure how much variation there is in points against. Also, like @rotisserieking said, I can't imagine many people having Tennessee's defense. Now, Lockett, sure, I guess there are leagues that would give him points. The ones that would, already did though. But, there may be some that take them away, like my league. In my league, Lockett's TD would go to Tennessee's defense. So the person who had Lockett would've lost points. Like with Tennessee's defense, I can't imagine anyone really starting Lockett either.

Not sure how that's going to make all that much of an impact. I thought standard points against thresholds between giving up 16 and 22 points is like 1 fantasy point. It is in all of my leagues. Made no impact to anyone in my leagues.

Exactly!! Let's here it for the Communist Left!!

You know for a fact this was an act of political violence? I mean, it happened almost 2.5 days ago and we just heard about it today. Do you really think the communist propaganda machine would hold back a political violence crime for over 2 days? Also, Biden is the only President who pardoned people who were never charged with a crime, is this correct?

He could be like Biden and pardon everyone who is MAGA before any charges are brought up. The left should be ok with that, right?

He does look creepy.

That's a great question. I'm guessing the very small (for college), y/a number of 6.75 probably had something to do with it. Still seems odd. I mean, he completed 46 in a row... if he averaged 6.75, he got 310 yards on those passes. If he started on the 1 yard line on 3 series, that's at least 3 TD's. Must have had a lot of bad runs and mistimed penalties.

LOL, there are a lot of Bucs fans who agree with you. A lot think he should get a 4 year / $250M extension.

Can I vote "None of the Above"?

First off... this happened on Saturday and we're just hearing about this now??? According to The Guardian. The fire started AFTER she went to walk the dog (how long are her dog walks?), because it was in full blaze while she was out. Her husband and two other family members were in the house. Her husband was injured. No mention of the other two, so either they weren't hurt or minors (grandchildren?) They live in a gated community. From the article, "Kittredge said the fire appeared to have been caused by an 'explosion'”. According to the AP, ... Three people were hurt and taken to the hospital, several others needed to be rescued. Injuries happened jumping down to the ground from the elevated first floor. This will be interesting. I'm guessing there are cameras every where. Being in a gated community, I'm sure there are plenty of cameras along the gates, so if someone hopped them, we'll find out. If that's the case, someone's getting fired and/or sued. How is it that we're over 50 hours post-incident and all they're reporting is that it happened?
