Anyone following the Redskins drama? RGIII benched for the year, Shanny is starting Cousins with Rex as the #2 and now he's letting it all out in his presser. :lol:

I don't see the big deal with Griffin sitting the rest of the year honestly. Team is 3-10 and he's been sacked either 35 or 36 times. No reason to take a beating in meaningless games when he's the face of the franchise.

Expectations: Peyton Manning throws five TDs with no INTs and destroys San Diego
Reality: Manning will have his worst game of ths year

Why? Because I have about $1150 riding on his performance on Thursday due to him QBing both of my fantasy teams. Come on you old bastard, do what you have done all year and dominate!

Looking like Cutler will start Sunday, barring any setbacks today. Our chances of them losing just went up quite a bit. Not that Cutler is bad but that team looks better with McCown starting.

It is ironic that Shanahan played him when he was hurt last year and is benching him this year when he is healthy.

It's a powerplay by Shanny to show who's got the upperhand in all of this. RGIII doesn't like him as the coach and presumably has Snyder in his corner. Then Shanny is now going to want to prove how good Cousins is.

The train wreck is no doubt fun to watch. It's just baffling the attention a guy playing for a 3-10 team is getting. Someone drop a rumor Tebow is going to the Pats as a tight end or something.

Cutler is officially the starter for Sunday. I think that's good news for us.

Peyton Manning hates you.

I guess he's still got some time to put up another TD or two.

What the f is going on with the Chargers. Weird team, I guess they do this kinda crap every year though

Phillip Rivers is coked up in the post game interview. Really coked up.

Jason Whitlock going hard to the rack with this piece. I really liked it. Only he could write this article too imo, that's probably part of the reason I liked it so much. So much better than the usual ESPN trash writing outside of grantland (which I don't really count as ESPN anyway)

Edit: as a quick contrast, here's an article I accidentally stumbled upon by an espn guy whose name kinda rhymes with Dip Sh*t-a*s:
http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=10115971

Quick recap: Football in bad weather sucks and all teams should have to move to domed stadiums in the future. Whoever hired every espn employee besides Bill Simmons needs to be burned at the stake. As a matter of fact, if Bill Simmons hadnt have put in the word and soothed the waters for his return Whitlock wouldn't be back at espn at all. God I hate espn.

Edited again: upon further inspection he basically admits his reason for that position has to do with his childhood dreams being crushed as a Cowboy fan after the ice bowl. He says, and I quote, "that wasnt football". Seriously, what a f*cking little f*cktard

Wait, in addition to letting Skip Bayless talk, they actually let him write too?

That's why I accidentally stumbled upon it by not being more on guard. I had forgotten they let him out of his chimp enclosure in the afternoon on occasion to throw feces at paper/teh internetz instead of just at the walls of his enclosure and at the TVs of really dumb people...

He does hate me. Now I need my other dudes to step up... which probably won't happen.

If I win both of my leagues though, I will throw a pizza party for the board!!!

But not really though. I hate all of you as much as I hate Peyton Manning.
