That's a good call. I might have to go with Tampa. I could also pick Green Bay over Cleveland, but I kind of want to wait for the Pack to get back home before picking them. This is a three-strike league, not my usual one and done league. I can pick anyone other than the Steelers and Broncos.

It is never too soon to overreact. Just ask football fans.

I don't know what the NFL rules are around this, but if the league has looked at it and determined there was no violation then I guess there wasn't.

Bills or Bucs for survivor league this week. Anyone? Bills play at home against Miami on Thursday night, Bucs play at home against the Jets on Sunday.

Did you see Dexter New Blood?

Guess we don't have any Dexter fans on here. The ending of the first season was outstanding, and one of my favorite Dexter episodes yet. Season 2 is yet to be renewed but lots of talk about their being a second and third season already planned. Hope it happens.

The Book of Sheen by Charlie Sheen

I was the only person in our survival league the pick the Steelers who are about to lose to Seattle. I guess I deserve the L. I could have picked the Ravens or Bills which were no brainers, but of course I had to overthink it. Idiot.

The Carolina Panthers have fired Charlie Rock, a member of their communications department, for positing comments deemed insensitive and inappropriate. I wish some teams would be as quick to punish their players for off the field actions as the Panthers were to fire Rock. Couple of big games already here in week 2. The Cowboys and Giants, both are 0-1 and both of them were losses in the division. Starting the season 0-2 in the division is tough and puts you behind the 8 ball. Same for the Lions and Bears who face off in Detroit on Sunday. Packers are already 2-0, beating Detroit and Washington, two of the top NFC teams last year. The Chiefs have a tough schedule to start the year, first playing the Chargers in Brazil and now coming home to face the Eagles. A loss for KC would put them in a 0-2 hole to start the year, something that a team can spend the rest of the season trying to crawl out of. In survival league this week I picked the Steelers, thinking they should win at home against the Seahawks. I almost picked the Ravens, who are playing the Browns, which would also be a good pick. Or the Bills who are visiting the Jets.

I've already given up on this season.

I've never given up, but I have walked away.

Kirill Kaprizov has turned down a contract extension from Minnesota that would have made him the highest paid player in NHL history. This does not bode well for the Wild, since he likely turned down the contract to seek offers with other teams. He is in the final year of his current contract with the team. The Wild finally have a young star player who they can build their team around for the next decade, offer him the biggest contract in history, and he still says no. This is the life of a Minnesota fan.

Might put it on this week.

If the Lions lose to the Bears on Sunday, I am giving up on this season.

Lions are 0-1. Not a great way to start, losing a game in the division. At least it was on the road. I thought the Packers would win this game, but I didn't call for it. In our elimination league I had the Broncos, and they hung on against the Titans but it was close late into the game.
