It's crazy how we've heard the 911 call and now there is a video released in a span of like 48 hours. TMZ is everywhere.

I think Michael Jackson's death was the one story that made start believing their "credibility." They were all on it while other outlets were scrambling for leaks and news.
And then on the flip side, I hate the recklessness that comes with it too. Look no further than Kobe Bryant. I still feel bad for the Bryant family having ALL aspects of that crash reported from them.

yea, I know it. I found out about Kobe, walking in my yard and was just looking on IG and saw a post, so I clicked on TMZ and there it was. But I've always been one to be nosy of celebrity gossip and news. They were right on top of Tiger Woods too, I know he hates em.

The MJ death hit my wife so hard she was actually one of those people who drove out to his parents house out here in the valley
I've said the story 100 times but I was actually in Calabasas the morning Kobe died and found out while eating breakfast in a nearby Cafe. I think the only other times I've spent that much time in a row watching "the news" - outside of Presidential Elections - was 9/11 and then the Insurrection.

Los Angeles Rams RB Cam Akers has suffered a torn Achilles, first reported by NFL Network and sources confirmed to Adam Schefter.
He is expected to miss the entire 2021 NFL season.

Huge blow to the Rams and also for anyone who had him in fantasy as he was largely considered a top 12 fantasy RB.
Darrell Henderson is the obvious guy to step in but I'm rooting for rookie 7th round pick Jake Funk to play a role. The guy isn't much or a "running" back but he had 70 catches for 584 yards and 4 TDs his last year at Maryland and could be that 3rd down scatback ala Theo Riddick / James White.

They'll sign somebody like AP, and have a RBBC and be one to pass on probably

I mean name wise there are a lot of veteran RBs out there
Old friend Todd Gurley
Shady McCoy AP The ageless Frank Gore Alfred Morris Lev Bell
Then a handful of passing down RBs like Yeldon, Chris Thompson, Duke Johnson, Dion Lewis

Good.
Now we can move on to the other messy QB situation that is Deshaun Watson with his legal situation, his ongoing trade demand and recent news that the Texans are now willing to trade him.
That Texans team is such a disaster right now that they need to just trade Watson for as many draft picks as they can get to blow this thing up. Especially since no Watson more or less guarantees this team the #1 pick in the next draft as they venture with that awesome Tyrod Taylor/Davis Mills/Jeff Driskel QB room and an absolute mishmash at the skill players. Not to mention having a rookie HC.

At this point I think the Texans are just hoping he lands on the Commissioner's exempt list. It's really no way you can put him on the field even if he wants to go, which he doesn't. So he's just showing up basically antagonizing them, avoiding the fines and hoping to force a trade in a market where no one wants to touch him right now. I think the only way this is rectified is if he is suspended for half the season, or maybe even a full season, and a team takes the chance on him knowing they have some time to try to rehabilitate his image.

Indianapolis Colts QB Carson Wentz is out indefinitely as he undergoes further testing on a foot injury that he suffered at the end of Thursday's practice
PS: Water is wet, and the sky is blue

Eagles' front office right now knowing they got a 3rd and 2nd for Wentz: "Colts. What suckers"
Well good thing the Colts have a solid veteran backup in Brissett. Oh wait, he's in Miami now. All the Colts have behind Wentz is 2020 4th round pick Eason - who saw no action last season - and 2021 rookie 6th round pick Ehlinger. No bueno.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz will undergo surgery Monday on his injured left foot and be sidelined approximately five to 12 weeks, coach Frank Reich said.
Reich said it's an old injury, possibly from high school, and a broken bone came loose in Wentz's foot.
That's a pretty wide margin of approximate time frame. Imagine they will be running the ball

I have #6 in my main league and was eyeing Taylor with a solid OL, Wentz at QB and enough passing weapons to keep the defenses honest. This news definitely kills that for me, esp. as I lean towards the 12 week frame than 5 for Wentz. If the Colts pass on adding a veteran QB and just turn to Eason or newly signed Hundley or rookie Ehlinger, that spells disaster for Taylor as they'll stack the box against the run. Hines will probably see a good amount of touches as the passing game threat given they'll likely fall behind regularly. Plus the team also has Marlon Mack to work in.

I'll be impressed if Winston can manage his usual 350 yards 2 TDs 2 Ints with that receiving core.
If he gets there, it's likely because Kamara got 10 dump offs and turned it into 150 yards.

I'm not touching Saquon Top 10.
I also have Mixon on my DND list. People are talking up Higgins, Chase and Boyd and as much as I like Burrow, have a hard time thinking this team can carry 3 fantasy relevant WRs. I might actually like Boyd if he slides given he's a good PPR guy.

Somehow I'm up to 5 leagues now.
Our league. Big $ league. Main league. New dynasty league my friend asked me to join because they needed to fill a spot by the draft this Sunday. Now joined a league with grad school friends.
Ironic that the year I'm the laziest is the year with my most leagues in a long time. Maybe my indifference might help as overthinking/overactivity has been a hindrance more than anything.

The Patriots are releasing QB Cam Newton damn.. Gotta wonder how much continually being in COVID protocol played a factor. Without that still, an argument can be made that Mac Jones should be the starter because he played well. But to just get rid of Cam Newton makes me wonder if COVID played a part OR did he tell Cam that Mac was going to be the starter and Cam asked to be released.
