Maybe I should just make a DFS thread, because there sure are some funny as gently caress legal things coming from it:

From the defense's filing in New York today:



Apparently Pete Rose didn't gamble on Baseball. Who knew?

Not sure how I would respond to that.

What teams would take Stafford over their current QB situation?

Texans, Bills, Jets, 49ers, Rams, Browns, maybe the Chiefs, maybe the Broncos.... that's all I've got

As long as he wasn't breaking league rules and it doesn't effect his on field play, who cares?

Pettine genuinely dislikes Manziel (and Gilbert and others) on the team and is currently in a futile pissing match with Farmer.

Both seem almost guaranteed to be fired after this year as of this time. OBR guys are hearing things and barring some sort of miracle prepare for the usual hilarious Browns offseason antics to begin January 4th.

Because it's another incident in a long line of incidents that demonstrate manziel is a loving idiot with no self control. He was in rehab just this year.

Yeah, I know all of us Chiefs posters would have you believe that we would dump Smith and love to have a gunslinger like Stafford, but the reality is that Andy Reid and John Dorsey have tied themselves to Alex Smith and aren't planning on dumping him this year.

This isn't your typical case of grouchy old men getting angry at a young guy for having fun. He was in rehab because he's most likely an alcoholic, so avoiding those types of situations - especially during the season - should be a top priority. And he just had a run in with the police that could have easily landed him a suspension.

He was in rehab for an undisclosed reason. If, it might not be alcohol. Anyway, he is an of age adult having a good time on his off time, this shouldn't matter.

Ryan Mallett is filing for "termination pay", to receive the remainder of his base salary from the Texans.

Players can only do this once so this means he does not expect to get signed by another team this year.

That's probably a pretty safe bet

Nope

Bortles in his second year is having a season that is as good or better than any season Stafford has had after 2011.

So, fun fact: The Jaguars are favored by 4.5 points in their home game against the Chargers this weekend.

This is the first time they have been favored by such a large margin since 2010, which both:

1. Shows how they've been awful for a long time, and
2. Shows how little confidence Vegas has in the Chargers
