So what happened to rg3? He was quiet good if I recall. Bit without the politics added to it. You know either the worst or best part about being in this pool with you guys is I finally care about football again, and not because the sport has changed but because rhru this I've made new friends with you guys and honestly I miss talking to people about the game. It used to be my life for a long time, ear sleep drink football. Then chicago started making lousy choices and it took the thrill out of it, for me win or lose it was seeing my guys play, seeing lovey Smith on the sidelines and lance Briggs knocking the shit out of people. And if we lost we went out hard!

Those days are gone. The NFL has a crisis on its hands. The CTE research shows all football players to be suffering various levels of brain damage. Young players and their moms are choosing other sports.

He has been working and expressing the commitment to drop the protests and focus on football. The lawsuit stems from his not being given a chance.

Congratulations Ultimatewarlord

I feel sure a few of my picks could go the other way, not fully convinced that TS will ever win the Broncos a SB & the Chargers could get the win.
Dolphins and the Jets is down to which one turns up, While AP could be the missing link for the Cards. Dallas blowing hot and cold, which could give the Niners a first win. Have the sleeping Giants finally got out of bed?

Good Luck Everyone

Tough call, I'll take the Chiefs...looks like the Panthers are getting their mojo back...poor Browns fans...I like the Packers at home, even without Rodgers...ugh, if I have to pick a winner, I guess it's the Jets...Rams win battle of former St. Louis teams...go Bills!...Teddy Bridgewater begins his return...Jaguars on the road...3-1 odds Big Ben retires at season's end...at one time this would have been a game of the week...Broncos over LA's fourth-favorite football team (that may be generous

)...how hot is Ben McAdoo's seat?...ho-hum, Patriots win again...Eagles win important NFC East contest.

Good luck everyone!

BTW, Dropped, who ya got in the Tampa Bay-Buffalo game?
