Got killed by injury to David Johnson plus got stuck at a spot without reliable internet connection.

Oh well, at least the Titans destroyed the Jags on Sunday.

What can be expected of Rishard Matthews this year? Will he still be the go to guy for Mariota? I have him in a few leagues and I'm reading some ominous things. How about Henry? Depend on Murray's health?

Matthews is probably the #2 WR behind the rookie Corey Davis.  He'll probably be either 3rd or 4th in targets on the team (Delanie Walker and Davis should get more targets, not sure about Decker's targets).

Henry will get probably 40% of the carries.  Henry's a really subpar pass blocker as a rb and that'll keep him off the field.  I still expect Murray to get the majority of the carries this year.

I'll be busy getting ready to go to opening night in Foxboro on Thursday. Go Pats!

Congrats have fun at the game.  They should beat KC since KC lost their top RB and NE's db/lb should be able to cover Travis Kelce.  I haven't watched much preseason at all, but how have NE S/T looked?  KC could have an advantage there.  KC defense is tough though and could be a low scoring game.

I missed it as well and checked my email and got an A+ for my draft, which made me laugh.  I got autodrafted TWO defenses for some reason.

During a natural disaster, a president has to be incredibly incompetent to screw up words of encouragement. I'm not saying this to be ugly, I honestly don't think he knows how to be empathetic. It's not in his DNA. He's not going to be hugging anyone, or comforting anyone. Obama was really good at that stuff. W. was an incredibly emotional guy. It was the first time I saw a president cry in public. Trump just doesn't know how. He can say something completely inappropriate, and not even understand what was wrong with it.

He's a narcassist that's why.  I didn't agree with W (policy wise) but I got the impression that he cared for people less fortunate than him.  Same with Obama.

Trump has also got the temperament and attention span of a five year old which doesn't help.

I watched Broadway Danny Rose last night. Mia Farrow is so amazing in it.

Where does this film land in the Woody Allen canon?  A classic or just good?

Wow.  I took a look at her Wikipedia page after seeing this. 

This part sounds brutal:

On 11 September 2002, Fredriksson complained of feeling unwell after jogging with her husband. She collapsed in a bathroom after becoming nauseous, with the impact of the fall fracturing her cranium. She then had an epileptic seizure.[10] Scans later indicated that she had a brain tumor in the back of her head.[11][12] The diagnosis led to the cancellation of Roxette's planned performance at the 2002 Night of the Proms concert series. After waiting several weeks for the fracture and resulting concussion to subside, she underwent successful surgery to remove the tumor. It proved to be malignant, and she endured months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.[13]

In January 2003, King of Sweden Carl Gustaf XVI awarded Roxette the 'Royal Medal with Blue Ribbon' award. Both Gessle and Fredriksson attended the ceremony, which was the first event Fredriksson appeared after her operation, and one of the very few public appearances she made over the next two years. Lasting effects of the tumour include her being permanently blinded in her right eye, as well as being unable to read or write. She was also unable to speak for a considerable period of time.[10] On 21 October 2005, Fredriksson conducted an interview with Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, where she said: "It's been three very difficult years, [but] I'm healthy. I'm not receiving treatment any more."[14] In 2016, Roxette announced that their planned 30th anniversary tour had been cancelled, on the advice of Fredriksson's doctors.[15]

Then John Kelly, HR McMaster, Sessions & Tillerson stay where they are and are setup for a Pence Presidency. A pretty establishment group who's fairly middle of the road. Someone called that Pence chooses Rubio as Veep, and disaster aside, they might have a shot at winning the 2020 election, not entirely a long shot.

Pence will not win in 2020 as he is really dull and doesn't excite anyone.  He also might get caught up in the Russia scandal.

Cap could be a back up, but will he accept back up money?

Actually, he couldn't be a backup.  Those responsibilities are different from the starting qb.  He has to be able to run the  offense and he has shown no inclination of doing that at all.

Say what you will about Cutler, but he's a proven NFL qb.  Not top tier but you can win with him.
