Football

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Shadeur Sanders is a monster they the media created themselves. They anointed him as the “top pick” in the draft and then when he didn’t go in the first(or even second) round, they all began screeching about what went wrong, and then everything that’s happened with the Browns all season has been thru this prism of Sanders not being played blah blah blah.
There are 50+ backup QBs in the NFL. He’s one of them. Good enough to get drafted onto a team, and that is all.

He isn't the first player sports media overhyped during the draft. Off the top of my head, Matt Barkley was supposed to be a top pick, but dropped to the 4th round. The media loved that the Browns got Johnny Manziel when he fell to the end of the first round. Every year there is someone. The difference this year is that Shadeur Sanders probably has the most famous father.

Awesome comeback in Buffalo. 21 pts in 4 1/2 minutes off of back-to-back interceptions. What a fun game to watch.

The way this season has been going, that game was kind of stressful. Yet somehow, it felt like they had the ability to come back even when they were down.

Right now I'm the #2 seed going into the last regular season game in my fantasy football league. It looks like I'm going to lose to the 11th place team because I started Daniel Jones at QB, who threw for 60 yards, 1 int for a total of 0.8 points before getting hurt. The #3 and #4 seeds will also probably still lose, which means we will all have the same record. I won't know what seed I am until the games are over. If I stay at #2, that's is a 1st round bye.
