Dolphins offered 4 first rounders for Burrow in 2020.

That article talks about the Dolphins planning to move on from Tua and Hill.

As for today's games, I missed most of the first one, but Malik Willis looked decent despite the loss in the Packers-Bears game. Coaching matters.

If Tomlin moves on after the season, which is highly unlikely, I wouldn't mind Haffley as the new HC even though he's a DC.

How many games out will that be?

I'll suspend him the rest of the season, playoffs included. That fan didn't do shit to warrant physical violence. You've got to send a message. However, it'll probably just be a game or two.

If it's one game, do you think he appeals, which would mean playing against Cleveland and then missing the Ravens game?

Maybe the Jags are legit?

Also, my bad Detroit. I bet you to cover. I forgot your secondary is in shambles.

I won a parlay! Fanduel was offering me $22 to cash out. I had 3 of 4 TD scorers picked right. All I needed was CMC tonight. I rode it out and won $40. BTW, this included Gibbs who scored with 4 minutes left yesterday.

But the universe balanced things out quickly and gave my daughter a flat. Yay.

Just won my second game in the Consolation Ladder in me and Stranger's league, so I'm guaranteed not to be the bottom bitch.

Finished third in my other league. Not sure if that pays or not. Had I started Pitts last week, I would have won the whole league. :(

Random facebook 'thing' was talking about some hit that happened in the Lions/Steelers game. It said "you know what I'm talking about" instead of showing it. It was a pretty long rant.

So, was there some controversial hit during the game?

That is a conscious decision — calculated, deliberate, and made with full awareness and complete disregard for consequence.
That hit?
Intentional.
No gray area.
No debate.

The only thing I saw was DK Metcalf taking a swing/push at a fan.

More of the post:
When a player goes after the football, you recognize it instantly — discipline, intent, control. That is the backbone of this game. But when a player abandons the play and goes after another man, that ceases to be football. That isn’t instinct. That isn’t emotion. That is a conscious decision — calculated, deliberate, and made with full awareness and complete disregard for consequence.
That hit?
Intentional.
No gray area.
No debate.
And don’t insult the intelligence of anyone who watched by pretending otherwise, because everyone saw exactly what came next — the taunting, the smirks, the post-whistle celebrations.
Seems like it would be something other than the OPI or the guy hitting the fan. But it's also Facebook, so. . . could be AI spouting off about who knows what.

Not that I can remember. Like Catt said, probably AI.

Second week in a row that Tomlin was bailed out by the refs though.

Also, it looks like Metcalf might have saved the Steelers a bunch of money:

Yeah, just can't let the man have a losing season. Sigh.

Fields on IR and likely will be cut.

I hope he gets a chance to play for a coach whose system fits him. I know his weakness is processing speed, but I feel like someone can make it work.
