    So Michael Sam is done with football. He's officially walked away. Now I'm concerned, not by any fault of his, that he set back the gay athlete movement by coming out.

    I know if I were a gay athlete I would not look at Michael Sam's story and find inspiration there. Only fear I would be persecuted.

    Really fucking sucks, I thought there was going to be real progress when he got drafted.

    It really blows how quickly Michael Sam's story went from inspirational to cautionary.

    Jesus Christ. Landon Collins and Mykkal Thompson injured for the Giants. Collins is ok I guess but Thompson got carted off the field.

    Who did the Giants piss off to get cursed?

    Also Trumaine McBride

    All three ruled out for the rest of the game at least; McBride hamstring, Collins knee, Thompson Achilles

    Add Jayron Hosley to the pile, also out for at least the game. 2 CBs, 2 S, and at least one season-ending injury if it's a tear for Thompson like beat writers are saying. Unbelievable awful injury luck for the team, on pace to break their own record for most injuries for the 3rd straight year

    First pass play, Jimmy gets whipped by Von Miller for the strip sack. Looks like he still has a lot of work to do on blocking.

    Hi all, could really use some fantasy advice.

    Joining up with a Serious Business auction league before, and I've only ever done snake drafts. General info:

    1. We get a $300 budget that covers both the draft AND free agency.
    2. Roster includes QB, offensive player, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, 2 Flex, 5 bench.
    3. Can sign players to 1-5 year contracts and carry a max of 40 years on the roster.
    4. Releasing players frees up 50% of the contract value.

    How much money would I want to reserve for FA? How do I decide how much money to allocate to each position? How do I get a sense of what a good rate is to lock a player into a contract? How much is too much to pay for Tim Tebow?

    Would love any help I can get, I'm a bit intimidated for my first time.

    PEEN'S EXTREMELY UNSCIENTIFIC RULES FOR AUCTION DRAFTS:

    Figure out whether there are one or two players that you want to blow your bank on or whether you want to try to get the guys that are good values. This will basically be the difference between spending a lot of money up front and scrambling at the end of the draft to fill out with 1 and 2 dollar guys or whether you end up spending more of your money in the middle and late rounds.

    If I were you I'd spend at least $250 on the draft, the chances that a free agent is going to radically alter your season are pretty low (I THINK AS A COMPLETE NON-EXPERT).

    Rivers extended through 2019

    @RapSheet
    For #Chargers and QB Philip Rivers, it’s a 4-year extension worth between $84-85M in new money. $65M guaranteed, source said.

    It's great to see Tim Tebow at least get a chance after two years out of the NFL. Crowd went so crazy he had to signal for quiet.

    Wow

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

    One of the two best players we ever had just left for the division rival that’s kicked our ass for our entire existence.
    I have been to one NFL game in my life, a Texans game in which Houston needed two defensive pass interference calls in the red zone in the last minute of play to beat the Jaguars. After the thrilling victory David Carr (!) came over and stood in front of the section my friend and I were in (we had really good seats, about 4 rows up) and started celebrating and giving high fives to fans. Everyone was going nuts, celebrating like we had all just witnessed a Super Bowl victory. My friend and I were absolutely going crazy, cheering and generally feeling real joy.

    When I got home, still pumped from the game and the interaction with Carr, I couldn’t wait to tell my girlfriend about the game. After I spill my story about the amazing time we had, she immediately says “Wait, aren’t the Jags like the worst team in the entire league? And the Texans barely won cause of penalties? You’re this excited about that?”

    It was this exact moment that I realized the Texans are at the head of the Kiddie Table in the NFL. Not much has changed in the past decade.
    Last year we entered the season with a shitty Fitzpatrick and an unproven Mallett at QB. This year we’ve upgraded to a shitty Hoyer and a fragile Mallett. I literally came in my pants at the thought of old ass Peyton signing for a year.
    We still don’t know who will lead at QB. We had 13 years to find a QB and Schaub is so far the best QB we have ever had. We drafted Tom Savage last year for QB just so Rick Smith can say, “Look, it’s a QB “, but now we went out and brought in Brian Hoyer for next season? No wonder Andre Johnson wanted out.
    This year our QB will either be a guy Belichick didn’t want or a guy the Browns didn’t want.

    Every second JJ Watt spends on this team is a waste of everyone’s time.

    Forcing JJ Watt to play with the rest of the Texans roster is like taking a filet mignon, soaking it in Bud Light Lime, microwaving it for an hour, and then feeding it to pigeons.
    Many of our fans still think we should have drafted Johnny Manziel.

    FYI, that was actually our starting tight tackle. Yes, it is a problem that he's a worse pass blocker than Jimmy Graham. If only our front office and ancient IL coach could realize that before somebody actually eats Russell Wilson, that'd be great.

    And fuck Houston! Houston is our largest unlivable city. It’s a fly-ridden goo swamp populated by obese wannabe cowboys who are constantly digging into a tin of Skoal. It has everything bad about a tropic-zone city with none of the good: palm trees with no beaches, skimpy clothing without attractive people, etc. There are no zoning laws. You can build a titty bar inside an elementary school. Every rich person there is a despicable oil whore. Rodeo Cookoff History is a required high school course. It’s a horrible place.

    Accurate.
