I agree but Its still shocking/kind of embarrassing that in 100 years of football the team record for receiving yards is just over 5000.

Means no WR stays there long enough to have even a 6 year career where they average 830 yards a season, or just over 50 yards a game over 6 years.

Or a 1K guy at 65 yards per game over 5 years.

It is amazing to see that their leader in receiving yds (Johnny Morris) hasn't caught a pass in 56 years, and leader in catches (Walter Payton) hasn't had one in 36

As a Steeler fan I appreciate smashmouth football as much as the next guy, but that is ridiculous

Here's a gander on how archaic the Bears receivers are.

Jerry Rice played for the Raiders for 3 and a half years, had 3,286 yards.
Johnny Morris played for the Bears for 10 years, has the franchise receiving yards record of 5,059.

You previously tried to make it seem like Pfizer had been singled out by an advertising ban, but all you really did was take general bans on prescription drug advertising that exist in most countries and try to use that to paint Pfizer as a company whose ads were banned.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a great example of how people use select facts to spread falsehoods. Glad you somewhat owned up to it in this reply, even if your statement isn’t entirely true.

Thank you. Saves me the energy. Actually, I was just going to let it lay because it is not worth debating. I’ve given up on these people. Good news is….polio is returning to England. One thing I tell our English cousins is how they are always a decade or so behind us Americans…case in point.

God Bless Goff. Thanks to his crappy (210 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) performance I may get my first win in fantasy. @Dr Pepper

Which would be understandable if we were talking about the Panthers or Jaguars. For a 100 year old franchise, yikes.

(Both of them have at least two guys with over 5K receiving yards, I used them as examples because they are two of the "newer" franchises)

The fact that Jax, Car, and the return of Hou and Cle likely do as well, really shows how behind the times the Bears are.

I had Montgomery stashed on my bench.

I'd seen all the reports throughout the day saying he was going to suit up, but I chose to be cautious instead.

Whoops.

Same here, thankfully I put in AJ Dillon and got 1.1 pts from him, might as well have played JJ Dillon

I'm in a matchup where, sure, I've got 30+ points wasted on my bench, but the team I'm up against started Gibbs who came up on the low end of the points scale. Still got the edge in projected scoring and a full roster of starters set to go this weekend.

Will any of them match Monty's totals? Maybe not, but I'm still trying to be optimstic.

Usher has got to be one of the more underwhelming choices for a SuperBowl halftime show in recent memory. He hasn't toured in 8 years and during that tour many shows didn't come close to selling out ie)Amalie Arena with only 5,000 in attendance.

10 years too late imo.

When you're hot, you're hot, I guess, not only has Travis Kelce possibly landed Taylor Swift, now he has become a unit of measurement for sea beasts

If JAX misses the playoffs, is it okay to call them the Jag Offs?

I do the same thing far too often. It’s called thinking too much. I have benched guys and replaced them with guys who do nothing.

The Bears haven't won a game since Musk bought Twitter.

If someone says they don't leave points on the bench ,they are not telling the truth.

I left 54 points on the bench in week 2. Lost by 10

Fantasy is so unfair. My Allen/Diggs handcuff scored 70 points but he has AJ Brown and the Boys D so I'm going 0-4. @Dr Pepper

 

[Dr Pepper]

Yeah, seems there's always some bench player who decides to show up, every single week on my teams.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Godwin had a good game but has no TDs this season.

One way to prevent this is shorten your leagues bench , when I ran a league I always made the bench 4 players. It's the perfect size,always talent on the wire also make no waiver wait.Bye weeks get interesting.

I do both those in my MLB league.

Its a small world I was at VIRginia International Raceway this past weekend helping a friend during the Sports Car Club of America national championship runoffs and 2010 Dolphins first round pick Jared Odrik won the GT2 national championship in a old Porsche GT3 Cup car.
