Cleveland Browns LB Anthony Walker Jr. to miss rest of season with torn quad tendon -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 10:08
Chase Claypool had an O/U of 35.5 yards receiving last night. He had 41, then was credited with -6 on the lateral play. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 10:01 12
- Gambling really is for suckers. As an aside, Pitt's way too good at the skill positions to be this bad on offense. -- nm - David Sep 23, 10:02 11
  - Circa in downtown Vegas was funded almost entirely on parlay betting - JD Sep 23, 10:21
  - Pitt has had 50 % of his routes run vs CBs (instead of mismatches vs LBs)-also getting used a lot for blocking. Falcons completely using him wrong -- nm - Flavorize Sep 23, 10:06 5
    - (Pittsburgh, not Kyle Pitts) -- nm - David Sep 23, 10:12

      - Drake London is a superstar if he stays healthy. - David Sep 23, 10:14

      - The Good Wife season 5 is as good as television gets. - David Sep 23, 09:37 1
