I watched the documentary. All of the statements made by Charlie Sly were made under hidden camera. He doesn't want to goto battle with Payton Manning so what else would you expect him to say when asked about it?

He mentioned that a bunch of HGH was shipped to Payton's wife and Payton isn't denying that.

I know it was an ugly loss for the Seahawks but this little sequence is pretty funny. This is what happens when your punter thinks he's a baller.

What he said was false, he said he shipped the drugs from that institute in 2011. He wasn't there until 2013.

The documentary states that they verified his employment history (how I have no idea) that he was there in 2011. So someone is lying.

The main guy in charge of the place has said that he wasn't there in 2011.

I didn't think it was a bad call at all when I saw it. Belichick isn't about making the obvious decision, it's pretty clear to me he makes data-driven decisions based on statistical probability and recently observed trends. He was probably looking at a 60/40 scenario and it just fell on the side of the 40%.

I took a look out of curiosity and before last night Fitzpatrick had only 11 game winning drives since 2005. 4 years he had 0, 3 years he had 1, and 4 he had 2 including this season. So he's never had more than 2 game winning drives ever in his career, and he's already had 2 prior to last night's game. So throw in those odds that his success yesterday represented the very first time in his career he had three game winning drives in a season.

It's difficult to argue with Bill's record, but OT is a different animal with the rules. Guessing he felt / saw Brady struggling with meager O-Line protection and wanted to lean on the his D. Fitzpatrick made it look too easy......

Osweiler looks just like Robert Pattinson.

Fitting, because he is sucking the fucking life out of that offense.

Just had an epic fantasy football semi finals last night.

Was losing by 1 point going into monday. I had AJ Green, the other team had AJ McCarron.

Halftime I was up by 5... AJ was doing ok, TD and a few grabs...

He basically doesn't touch the ball second half...

Short pass here, short pass there...time winding down, and I am losing by 0.3 points...

Two deep balls to Green, misses both catches!

McManus to kick...game over right? HE MISSES. We go to OT.

A few more short passes from McCarron...down 1 point now... praying Green gets one pass...

Cincy gets the ball back after the Denver FG, ok one last shot. Time winding down, no passes to Green... I am down one point at this point in the game.

Then McCarron fumbles. Game over. Minus three points, I won by 2.41.

The other semi final, guy had nobody going, and other team had Demaryius... the OT catches sealed a 3.32 point win for him.

Thanks, McManus?

This would be my first win in 5 years of this keeper league. 5th 5th 3rd 3rd...

Three years ago I lost to this guy by 0.1 points in the playoffs. looking for redemption.

^ Congrats! I've been there waiting for just one more catch - its nerve-wracking.

I won my championship game as well but there was a little less drama. I won by a narrow margin of 107.7 points.

This might be the most points I've ever scored. I've cross 170 a few times (this is a PPR league) but never this.

What dicks the Chargers are, they fined Eric Weddle 10k for staying on the field at halftime to watch his daughter perform. Sounds like he won't travel with the team for their last game as well.

Reports are saying Pagano will be out of a job in Indy if they don't make the playoffs and that is a long shot at this point.

Colts are 40-23 under Pagano (regular season). Asterisk there is he missed 12 games being treated for cancer in 12. They are 7-8 this season but Luck has been injured. They made the playoffs each of his first three seasons and won the AFC South twice. It may be time for a change in Indy, but his performance there hasn't been that bad -

Congrats to Pittsburgh and to Houston.

Pats looked absolutely anemic today on offense. Tannehill torched their secondary for 350 yds. Pats can still be #1 in AFC with Denver loss. Pats definitely need to get health soon or they will bow out of the playoffs quickly.

I'm not worried at all. Once the undefeated streak came to an end I stopped caring about the regular season.

All I want is everyone to be healthy, which should happen by the time the divisional round starts

Manziel skipped meeting

From here: Browns confirm Manziel skipped meeting - Article - TSN

The Cleveland Browns have refused to comment on media reports that concussed quarterback Johnny Manziel is in Las Vegas, but owner Jimmy Haslam confirmed Sunday that Manziel failed to report to a meeting with team doctors on Sunday morning.

Manziel was placed in the concussion protocol earlier this week and was ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but concussed Browns players are to meet with doctors on Sunday mornings.

The Browns fired head coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer after Sunday's loss. Manziel's future with the team remains unclear, though Sports Illustrated's Peter King reports the Browns are "done" with the 2014 first-round pick.

King notes Manziel's desire to join the Dallas Cowboys. Manziel has been linked to the Cowboys since entering the NFL out of Texas A&M University. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said he would have liked to pick Manziel during the 2014 Draft, but was convinced by his scouting team not to.

Manziel passed for 1,500 yards with seven touchdwons and five interceptions this season. He was drafted by Farmer.
