fats, are you ready for that doc on Spirits of St. Louis!?

I can't wait to see the actual game footage of them.

30 for 30 returns tonight with a doc on some surfer Eddie Aikau. Can't say that it hypes me up, yet I watch the series religiously so I will give it a try. There's yet to be a 30 for 30 that I haven't watched.

Just for something completely different my team will get torpedoed by injuries (it's already started with Westbrook out for the first 6 weeks of the season) and at least 4 other guys will make stupidly lopsided trades in Sho's favour with Sho that will derail any chance I have.

I'm working on 1 more trade at the moment. If I can pull it off, it will significantly help my chances.

The optimist in me wants to believe it's to make a roster spot for Josh Gordon... unlikely I know. That's three open spots (Amini to IR and Ben Jacobs released), with only four WRs on the roster (including the oft-injured Hixon). Maybe the return of Gettis?

Welp, Falcons lose Julio and we lose Armanti, seems fair.

i'm so depressed. the writing was on the wall when armanti got hurt in training camp. he really needed to prove he could be the 3rd WR. he got hurt, ginn stepped up and the rest is history.

If I were a Panthers fan, I would be pissed if a team like San Francisco or New England gave up a 4th round pick for Josh Gordon. He would be a massive difference-maker for your team. Although, I find it hard to believe Cleveland is looking to move Gordon, there continues to be rumors of it.

No worries guys! We just signed Marvin McNutt off the Dolphins practice squad to replace him!

I'm not even an Armanti fan, but this stuff is ridiculous.

The Panthers are laughable. They single handedly ruin my NFL experience, despite the fact I love football and my fantasy team is doing well again this season.

I'm fine with cutting Armanti to bring in a better player, but not to do it just to shake things up and bring in another unproven young WR no one has ever heard of. I mean what does this really do for your team? Especially since Armanti is a great practice player/hard worker/not a complainer.

I wish we would just trade for Josh Gordon, the guy is a beast.... Jesus I'm tired of watching the Panthers squander possessions with dropped passes. We would have been up either 17-3 or 24-3 against the Cards before the half if it weren't for dropped passes, its nuts.
