I can do Philadelphia tonight, then see who else is unclaimed and go from there.

Figured I'd put it here, as opposed to the Purge thread. Schrader was claimed off waivers by the LA Rams: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/rams-cody-schrader-lands-with-rams/

Taking the torch from Henry Anderson, I guess?

Eagles cuts so far: QB Will Grier WR Griffin Hebert TE Kevin Foelsch OL Max Scharping Dallas waived/injured WR David Durden

The pessimist in me still believes Matt Nagy will find a way to justify putting Steele on the practice squad to begin the year, but the amount of positive press he's generated is undeniable.

Mike Trout has apparently re-injured his knee, ending his 2024 season after 29 games. What looked like a career that would one day put him in the inner circle of all-time greats is rapidly approaching a "what-if" fork in the road in his early thirties. He hasn't played anything resembling a full...

Bad news for Cominsky, for sure. Detroit did, however, sign Pat O'Connor to hopefully have a shot at replacing him:

White pitchers at the top of their game, as usual, for the All-Star lineups. Christian Yelich has a Japanese grandfather, so I guess feel free to go with him.

Truly a weird career arc; unremarkable start, three-ish excellent seasons in Chicago, then a borderline instantaneous dive into obscurity.

I had an issue not being able to stop eating Dot's pretzels a couple months back. You're correct in that they're hellacious chemical bombs, but man, those things are delicious (probably all the MSG). I feel like I'd broken the loop for a while, but here I am wanting them again...thanks a lot, Don!

I may be in the minority, but I kinda like the new kickoff rules, at least compared to the auto-touchback situation we had going on. It certainly adds a fun wrinkle and having kickoff ability in your toolbox as a position player like Reid does (and assumedly Rees-Zammit) is a neat plus for...

The idea of the MLB and negro leagues being even close to equivalent in level of play is laughable, and frankly just a statistical improbability. There were exceptional ballplayers in the negro leagues, but think about the numbers for a second here. In 1930 the US population was 88.7% white and...

Seems a tragic end to what became a story of redemption. The weight of a lifetime of expectations (dad a major leaguer, Little League exploits) took their toll, and Burroughs struggled with drugs and drink. He cleaned up his life and actually made it back to the majors some years later, but...

Be still my beating heart - for those worried, I don't currently envision a world in which DeJean cuts in to Blankenship's playing time. The Eagles are essentially unsettled at both one outside and one slot corner, so it's more likely DeJean rotates between those spots rather than deep safety.

Boy there's definitely no agenda with draft "grades" from CBS

Dominique Foxworth drops some unbelievable quotes in that article that I can scarcely believe were published:

Starting lineup for the Phillies against Cincinnati tonight: DH Schwarber 6 Turner 3 Harper 2 Realmuto 5 Bohm 9 Castellanos 4 Stott 7 Merrifield 8 Marsh Definitely the team to pull for if any at CF need a baseball rooting interest this season!

Well, this is certainly a more efficient way of doing it than my team write-ups on the old CF front page back in the day! I too love fantasy baseball and could take one or two positions. If I have some time this week, I'll write up a top-ten of starting pitchers; put me down for that for now...

Hoping he ends up in Philadelphia. He's had his best seasons under new DC Vic Fangio, and Fangio supposedly convinced him to re-sign in Miami last year. He's a fantastic, athletic, versatile player who would look good on most teams.

Well, at least Iowa isn't letting us down with this recruiting class so far.

It's all so tiresome

San Francisco really does seem to play as a real team! A max effort, last-second chip block from the OT was key!

McCaffrey's leg showing the importance of a good pregame stretching routine!

Well, for any of you who signed up for a month of Peacock to watch the Chiefs playoff game, you can use it to watch some Six Nations Rugby! Ireland took a commanding win from an Antoine Dupont-less France yesterday. France definitely missed their star scrum half as they lost 10-38 to the Irish...

Good run by Gibbs for the Detroit TD. They'd honestly be the easiest team in the world to root for if not for the presence of the odious trash talker and cheap shot CJ Gardner-Johnson (whose cheap shot on Samuel cost them 30ish yards on the interception).
