Not saying this is apples to apples, but I did not think Omarion Hampton looked all that great either until Najee got hurt and Hampton started getting the ball a lot more. A few weeks ago, Rhamondre caught a wheel route and took it 50 yards for the TD. Vrabel said they had practiced that play...

Henderson just needs to fumble more often so that the coaching staff will trust him.

There are rumors on social media sites that Henderson got hurt on kickoff but the broadcast hasn't said anything.

I don't think they have to designate them immediately. I've seen teams designate a guy for return well after he has been placed on IR.

I'm not trying to make this about "my fantasy team needs the roster space," but I will never understand the rationale when teams wait to officially put a guy on IR even though he's posting from the hospital on IG after undergoing TWO surgeries to repair a broken collarbone and foot. I would...

FFPC Triflex (superflex, start 3 WR, TE-premium) Before the season started (when we had to cut to 20 players) Gave: Rashee Rice, Tyrone Trace Got: 2026 1st, 2026 2nd At the time, the team giving up the picks looked pretty bad on paper. It's currently 1-1. FFPC Triflex (different league)...

My feeling is that running waivers while also having dozens of ongoing drafts would strain resources (servers or whatever), so they schedule the waivers to run at a time when that strain would be much less. So the deadline to submit waivers is always the same, but the time that waivers are...

First week is always slowest because I believe they schedule the waivers to run when all the live drafts are finished, which isn't until after midnight PT.

At the start, I had some runs where I completed a day in maybe 30 minutes. Now I've unlocked enough stuff where a run can take a couple hours. There was definitely an inflection point where it went from "I guess I'll play some of this" to "man I need to go to bed but I just want to do one more...

I've been playing The Blue Prince on Xbox (also available on PS5 and PC, I believe). It's a very well-done, low-fi puzzle game. Premise is that there's a 45-room mansion that's basically a grid, 5 rooms across and 9 rooms lengthwise. On the first day, you start in the entrance hall, and there...

I disagree with this with respect to QB. (I do like to have an elite TE, but who's "elite" from year to year seems more difficult to predict of late.) The majority of teams in superflex put too high a value on QB, making other positions a better value. You can make the playoffs with a superflex...

Tom Pelissero also said it's possible a settlement is reached before the season. I could see NFL going all out to make an example of Rice. I could also see the NFL releasing this stuff about wanting a 10-game suspension and saying, "Well, we tried," before settling for fewer games.

By the way, I use VPNs when we travel outside the U.S. (because we like to unwind at night by watching TV, and VPNs allow you to watch your TV subscriptions overseas). A few years ago I signed up for ExpressVPN. When we got back from our trip, I cancelled it. Some months later, I noticed I was...

My Reminders app is half full of cancellation reminders. If I sign up for something that auto-renews, I put in a reminder for a few days before renewal. If I book a hotel or Airbnb, I put in a reminder for a few days before the cancellation period ends. It's ridiculous, but I'm too addled to...
