I'm not a Patriots fan, but their disciplined and unemotional treatment of players as assets is something that most of the league should emulate.

I took a few years off of fantasy, partly because I had been in a league run by my sister's now-ex-husband and his buddies and partly because I just didn't like how fantasy changed the way I watched games and messed with what I enjoyed. I like team play, seeing things develop off the ball, and value RBs and WRs who…

I think it's difficult to manage the salary cap when a highly paid player not only (allegedly) kills someone and is in prison awaiting trial, but also continues to count for a "Dead Money" hit of $7,500,000 on the team's 2014 Salary Cap.

Venue is often defined in contracts.

A factor in this is also that there is zero (or close to it) impact on the salary cap for cutting one of the guys at the bottom of your roster. Cutting a "star" (or former star) like Adrian Peterson or Ray Rice takes some planning or you're going to feel it on your cap for a couple years.

What is J School?

If a source lies to you, they aren't a source worth protecting. They're using you.

And since Jim Haslett is still the DC, we know that Washington's defense didn't all of the sudden implement a more effective gameplan or make sound scheme changes mid-game.

Didn't Patton Oswalt already play that guy in some crappy movie?

I could swear that Redskins' NT Chris Neild is white (he's on IR, so I suspect he's not included because it's only counting players on active 53-man rosters as of a given date).

Nobody suspects that Miller-Coors might gladly step in if A-B walked away? I don't think Goodell lost any sleep over this one.

You sounded hot until mentioning that whole "not having daddy issues"...

No, but I will give you a star... just keep (or discard) your tonsils.

Thank god I don't have him on my fantasy team - it'd be tough to replace a dead running back mid-season!

Did you miss the one about the couple who brought home a homeless guy for a threesome and, then while they continued, the homeless guy went into their kitchen to make a meal, and then there was a confrontation over him asking them to give him feedback on how he seasoned the meal? I think the tattoo thing is a bit more…

Given the way it's written, why wouldn't any player taking steroids or HGH just take a diuretic or other masking agent? Seems to be a loophole where if the diuretic effectively masks the positive, then you're getting fewer games if you get caught only for masking vs. using.

Precisely. It kind of ignores some realities of how these relationships work in practice.

Anyone taking wagers on what office DA Michael Tantillo will pursue in the next election cycle?

Beyond that, I'm curious from a legal perspective, if he doesn't have custody and he beats them and the league guardian objects to that style of punishment, is that considered "parent/guardian exercising their discretion in raising their child" or is it more a case of "adult beating child"? Just because he's…

So what you're saying is that the Marlins' pitcher was the first batter to put the ball in play?
