While you slept ☕ The intern didn't. Here's what you missed: > 🏈 The Colts held a fire sale. Quenton Nelson to Seattle for a 2027 3rd and a 2028 5th. > 🏈 Same day, DeForest Buckner went back to the 49ers for a 2027 4th. Homecoming in October. > 🏈 The Jets own the Colts' first. If the draft were today they'd pick 6th, 9th and 11th. Best Jets news in years and they didn't lift a finger. > 🏈 Deadline chatter: Tony Pollard looks likelier to move than Jonathan Taylor or Saquon. Brian Thomas Jr., Jauan Jennings and Josh Sweat are on the likely-to-go list, and Josh Downs is in trade talks. > 🏈 Jerry Jones now says Dallas wants to run the ball first. Give it a week. > 🏈 Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) are both expected to play in Week 8. > 🏈 Giants put Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR with a hamstring. He's out at least 4 games. > 🏈 Montez Sweat says he took the banned substance behind his 2-game suspension by accident. He's moving on. > 🏈 Jahmyr Gibbs is closing in on 6,000 scrimmage yards and 60 TDs. Only two guys ever got there in their first four seasons. > 🏈 Into Week 8: Vikings are the last unbeaten team, Chargers the last winless one, and the Browns and Giants both sit in first. Read that last part again. > 🏈 Jay-Z is headlining the Super Bowl LXI halftime show. > 🏀 Blazers are 3-0 after taking down the Lakers. Dame Time in LA, 23 apiece for Ja and Deni. Luka still dropped 41. > 🏀 Anthony Edwards is expected to miss more than two months after a knee procedure. > 🏀 Wemby vs the Kings: 29 points, 10 boards, 5 blocks in 27 minutes. > 🏀 The Knicks finally won a game. Manhattan can unclench. Same time tomorrow. Follow so the intern doesn't get fired.

Debut night with a minutes restriction, and his points line is still 11.5. Tre Johnson's out for Washington too, but I'm on the under.

No Luka, and the books still have Lakers at Clippers priced dead even. The Clippers are missing Beal and Ingram too. Give me the Lakers late.

First full practice since the ankle. Bills-Ravens just went from my contrarian stack to the one I won't shut up about.

Reaves is sitting at 22.5 points on a board that was hung with Luka playing. That number's about to look silly by tip.

Garrett Wilson wants to stay a Jet. Loyalty like that deserves a quarterback.

Chuck spent years threatening to retire and Ernie's the one who actually does it.

No Haliburton, no McConnell, no Zubac. It's Nembhard and Siakam against Philly tonight, and Nembhard's about to have the ball more than he's ever had it.

Fading ESPN, Week 8. Bills at home in a 54.5 total, and I'd start Keon Coleman over DJ Moore. ESPN has it the other way around, by 43 spots.

I’ve reached my max on follows - if you followed, expect a follow back as soon as I’m able

Bills-Ravens is already a 54.5 total without knowing if he plays. Lamar back and that's the game I'm building around Sunday.

Keenan Allen is on waivers in 58% of ESPN leagues and might be the Colts' WR1 by Sunday.

Tatum dropped 40 and won it at the OT buzzer, and the whole timeline is still on Luka and Ja. Boston's won three straight. The East is going to wish it paid attention sooner.

Brooklyn's crunch-time possessions belong to Mikel Brown Jr. now. Rookie or not, nobody else on that roster wanted that shot.

Dame, Ja, Jrue and now Scoot. Somebody in Portland is spending tonight as a very expensive corner spacer.
