  Week 1 is in the books, and with it came the unpredictable, crazy, and unexpected turnover of the NFL which leads to wild speculation. THE REDSKINS ARE GOOD! MARK SANCHEZ FOR MVP! THE 49ERS ARE A DYNASTY…AFTER WEEK1! And so on and so forth. More importantly, however, the NFL gave us our weekly dose of delicious meltdowns. There are some surpirses (no Romo?) and some unsurprises (Jags and Browns still terrible!), but it’s still just as tasty. Come for the failure, stay for the pictures of rich people playing a game looking silly.   Happy Blaine Gabbert is extremely satisfied about this effort 5. The Jaguars might win their opening game? Oh, no, just kidding Jacksonville is a pretty terrible team who didn’t get their best offensive player onto the roster until about a week before the season started. But despite all of that, Blaine Gabbert came out and looked very un-Gabberty, throwing for 260 yards and two touchdowns and put the Jags ahead by 3 with a touchdown pass a...

Brandon Weeden Gets Caught Under American Flag Before the Game

Perhaps this was a sign we should’ve taken heed to before the ball was even kicked off. Brandon Weeden got caught under flag during the pregame ceremonies. Now this is the starting quaterback of an NFL team, he should be able to out run 80% of the population, but the fact that he couldn’t out run the flag holders might be a slight cause of concern. While this is quite funny...

Throughout the day I will have short chat conversations with other MSF writers about various topics. Some of these conversations make me laugh. I’ve decided it’s time to start posting them.

WFNY Podcast – 2012-09-11 – Browns, Buckeyes, Suspensions and 2-point Conversions

Rick and Craig are back at it again and no we still don’t have an opener. Sorry, I was too busy bringing a new child into the world. Excuse me. Get off my back, ok?

Barnwell / Grantland bury Pat Shurmur for extra point decision

It was hot debate all day long and there were hypotheticals going all over the place.

Browns Fans: Did That Really Happen?

So it's Saturday afternoon and I happen to see a commercial for the Cleveland Browns. So as I'm getting excited for the season opener I proceed to hit up Stub Hub and snag some tickets to the game.

Keys to the game week 2: Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Follow @ClevelandDTR By: Eric Grinnell 1. Contain A.J. Green The key to stopping the Bengals offense is to stop A.J. Green. Green is already one of the better receivers in the game, and constitutes a majority of the Bengals passing game (last year, Green accounted for 7 of Andy Dalton’s 20 passing TDs). If you stop Green, you should be able to stop Dalton and make the...

Grantland fantasy advice? Trade Trent Richardson “NOW”

If Rey Maualuga didn’t provide enough motivation, maybe someone can point Trent Richardson to Grantland to see what they think of his prospects as a fantasy player.
