Dabo was a roulette-style game of chance developed by the Ferengi. When one won, it was customary to shout "Dabo!". Given the "profit at any price" philosophy of the Ferengi, it was not uncommon to find that a dabo table had been rigged.

Atlanta Falcons practice squad wide receiver Cameron Batson was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly fighting with police following a traffic stop and fleeing the scene.

According to a release from the Atlanta Police Department, Batson was pulled over around 2 a.m. Saturday after speeding and failing to maintain his lane on an interstate. Police said Batson was deemed intoxicated by an officer before the situation turned physical after the wide receiver allegedly resisted arrest.

During the altercation, according to police, the officer fired his gun, hitting no one, before Batson got back into his truck and drove away. Police say he crashed the truck, fled on foot and was found hiding by police and arrested.

Both Batson and the officer were taken to the hospital for treatment. No details of charges against Batson were immediately available.

The Falcons released a statement acknowledging Batson's arrest.

"We have been made aware of an overnight incident involving Cameron Batson and are currently gathering information from law enforcement agencies," the team said. "We take this matter seriously and have no further comment at this time."

Batson has been on the Falcons' practice squad since being cut in training camp. He previously spent four years with the Tennessee Titans, appearing in 27 games with 22 receptions for 197 yards and two touchdowns

That era was also kinda interesting for there being hold outs every year with like 5 or 6 players every draft while contract language was hammered out and first round picks were routinely becoming the highest paid players at their positions.

Every injury concern people have with Jimmy is just as valid for Lance, and both last played a full season anywhere in 2019. I would trust Purdy over either of them, and Jimmy over Lance

Barkley I can understand, kind of a risk between his injury history and being a RB in the modern NFL, but he does have much higher upside than most other RBs that he's worth the risk.

Daniel Jones though, lol lmao

I dunno, given the Giants' draft position and Daboll's track record with developing QBs, giving Jones a short term deal doesn't feel like the worst gamble in the world.

Jones becomes a bottleneck but you’re not developing any QB with the current WR group.

Yeah, the Giants roster is bad enough that riding Jones for a year or two while you put pieces around him should be fine.

Barkley's injury history I think isn't as bad as it's sometimes made out to be. He had an ankle injury early in 2019 that could have happened to anyone (He got rolled up on during a tackle in the game against Tampa Bay that was coincidentally Jones' first start) that caused him to miss 3 games and limited him in a few others when he came back, but otherwise still was effective, particularly later in the season. He blew out his knee two games into 2020. That may have limited him when he came back in 2021, but 2021 also had everything related to Joe Judge and Jason Garrett running the offense and for that alone I'm willing to give a pass to basically everything that happened that year. He's looked back to form this year, even without the team having much of a threat in the passing game, so I'm fine with the team bringing him back.

For Jones... as others have said, I'm not sure they can get a better option. They likely won't be in a spot to draft a high prospect, the list of potential free agents isn't inspiring (Baker Mayfield? Sam Darnold? Jimmy G?), and the guys potentially available in the trade market isn't much better (Carr?) and may not be worth the capital it would require. Jones feels like he can be a perfectly cromulent QB option, particularly if they can get some more weapons and the offensive line improves, and I would like to see what he could do in year 2 under Daboll. It's worth noting that so far in his career, the only OC Jones had for longer than 1 season was... Jason Garrett :barfs:

Obviously, all of this depends on contracts that are offered, but the Giants are projected to have ~$56 million in cap space available, so I think that gives them some options.

I hadn't considered it but Carr on the Giants could be possibly good if they managed to sign or draft some receivers who were worth anything.

But yeah we're just talking about stuff that won't happen because apparently they're all in on Jones. I mean he might be okish, but that man really, really likes to fumble the ball and that line isn't going to get fixed in a year.

They’ve got 60 million in space next year, they might as well spend it on one of their few good players on offense.
