Football Is My Fantasy

@AdamSchefter @DanielOyefusi I mean, might as well.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told reporters that Deshaun Watson has a “great chance” to be Cleveland’s starting quarterback. More via @DanielOyefusi: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@SeanRossSapp Nah this could’ve been the start of that rivalry. Something to build a story from. And it could’ve stole the show. Instead you get a match with a predictable ending. Y’all do it all wrong over there.

LV also made sure to ask "Why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me?"

@WrestleTalk_TV This is the stuff that makes the younger talent leave early.

Former WWE star Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin) says Carmelo Hayes got "screwed" last night on SmackDown and calls for WWE to add him into the Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams WrestleMania 42 US Title match: "Make it a 3 way!! "Carmelo has carrried that for months and has delivered!! "Just my opinion but Carmelo got screwed. He deserves a mania match!! "Him and Ilja made that title matter again! Shit give me Ilja vs Trick Williams vs Melo at mania"

@FinsXtra @CameronWolfe Why would that keep him from signing his first ever big contract?

🚨 Malik Willis was informed about the possibility of Jaylen Waddle being trade before signing for the Miami Dolphins, per @CameronWolfe: "[Willis] was in the know of this decision, and he is still all-in on the plan... this isn't a shock to what particularly happened. Malik Willis was signed because they view him as a potential long-term answer, not just a band-aid addition." #PhinsUp

@FadeAwayMedia They leave because it literally doesn’t matter. The creative process will never change so they don’t feel incentivized to stay. It’s the same reason why he left all those years ago.

CODY RHODES SAID SOME TALENT REALLY BE LEAVING THE SHOW EARLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM 😭 THEN GOT THE NERVE TO ASK “Why are the same guys always on WrestleMania?” LMFAOOOOOOOO (What Do You Wanna Talk About)

@Fullcourtpass @joevardon @APH00PS But how do you determine if a team is tanking?

If a team, under the new rules, was still found by Adam Silver’s office to be tanking, he would be able to take away that team’s draft pick, move it to the end of the lottery or first round and also increase fines into the millions of dollars, per @joevardon (h/t @APH00PS)

@CommonS37481141 Please this has nothing to do with TKO 🙄

TKO is ruining the WWE faster than they did UFC.

@notaracistbigot @Fightful Bold and misguided assumption. I was surprised to see I make more than they do and that they only work that few matches.

@ThreeSecondTan @Fightful most of them ref 1 match per night, possibly 2 nights per week you must very very disconnected from reality (and full time employment) if you think that's a low amount of money

Thunder Rosa says WWE offered her 60k a year to be a referee in 2019. “In 2019, they (WWE) called me and they were like, ‘are you ready to hang up the boots?’ I was like, well, you know, I needed money. So I was like, I needed steady money because, brother, being an independent professional wrestler is, when you’re talking about hustle, it’s a hustle. I had a job when I was in the Bay Area, but when I decided to do wrestling full time, I was depending on my, ex-husband and like my hustle. I was hustling all the time and I was tired. Like hustling after like seven years, you’re like, man, I need a job or like something, and they offer me like $60,000 a year, which at the time it was like, all right, it’s better than what I was making. There was a hurricane that happened and then they just keep like pushing my, my tryout and then never happened, but it was meant to be that way, and that’s when I made the decision to jump into MMA, because they offered me a $3,000 contract.” (Real 92.3 LA)

@NBA__Courtside I did the math. He forfeited approximately 5k more points by retiring.

Jeff Teague on if Michael Jordan didn’t retire after the first three-peat what would the scoring record be: “This sh*t was easy bro, he averaged 32 and retired. How you get MVP and retire. So imagine if he just played two more years after that. Come on man we took off five years. He cold bro, I take off 4 months n***a and I’m trash.” (Via @club520podcast)

@WrestleTalk_TV Why lower himself messing with that BS?

WWE are reportedly "in negotiations" with Tom Brady following his recent comments about pro wrestling, with a WrestleMania 42 appearance a possibility: "From what I have been told, they are in negotiations for Tom Brady but there’s absolutely not a deal at this point for Tom Brady. "So it could happen, obviously Logan Paul and Tom Brady are working, everyone knows they’re working the angle I think people have seen that coming in, but there could be something in some form at WrestleMania. "It would not be a surprise and what they did in the (flag) football game was clearly to build it, all the talk of Tom Brady cutting down pro wrestlers and all the wrestlers responding, that is all storyline. "That is not Tom Brady’s a dick and he doesn’t respect pro wrestling." (Dave Meltzer on WOR)

@forestm555 I fail to see how you could possibly know how much Max is being used to view AEW. Everyone is just guessing, atp.

Remember folks. No one uses HBOMAX for AEW weekly and PPV….. But supposedly, everyone is expected to use Netflix for RAW and ESPN for PLE. This is the narrative they want you to believe, and they hope you’re stupid enough to convince yourself AEW is struggling. It isn’t.

@BinkleyHoops Imagine making judgments on ppl based solely on what randos say about them on social media.

Imagine if these guys actually like each other.

@GioFeelix @WrestleTalk_TV @LucyisjustLucy Exactly

@WrestleTalk_TV @LucyisjustLucy Triple H still butthurt because of this competition that AEW won.

Former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion Martin Stone (Danny Burch) recalls NXT changing plans to compete with AEW Dynamite: "We would have two TVs in Gorilla and they would be watching AEW, and then they were trying to change the show to compete with what they were doing. "I'll never forget. Me and my tag partner (Oney Lorcan), we were scheduled to have a 30-minute main event and I was really excited about it. We had three segments. And I was like, man, we were tag champs, we were gonna be able to go out there and really kill it. "And then because they were watching (AEW) and they heard that there was a women's match on first, they cut us to 10 minutes - with entrances - and said, 'You guys are gonna go on first so we can steal the opening (viewers).' "So when they turned around said, 'We were never in competition' - you're full of it. Yes you were." (Cafe de Rene with Rene Dupree)

@BenGarciaShow Nobody gives a crap about the pro bowl.

The more I think about it: If Jaylen Waddle (who has never been a pro bowler) is worth a first round pick and more. I wonder what Marvin Harrison Jr’s trade value is…just a thought.

@AdamSchefter @SeifertESPN Might as well. The ones we have are compromised, anyway.

The NFL is laying groundwork for hiring replacement officials this season if the league is unable to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Referees Association, per @SeifertESPN. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@thetailgateapp Did you see the way Mutumbo didn’t throw himself to the ground, kids? That’s how the league was.

The new generation really thinks Victor Wembanyama is stopping this man 😭

@WrestleFeatures How ppl watch this asinine crap is beyond me.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Sources indicate to Bodyslam that Jelly Roll has been discussed for a tag team match at WrestleMania. The discussed tag match would see Jelly Roll teaming up with Royce Keys. The story of the pairing would have to do with their stories of hardships in their lives. (Bodyslam+)

@jeff_on_sports The Blazers are notorious for doing that. They even picked Sam Bowie over MJ in ‘84.

Greg Oden must’ve truly looked like the next Tim Duncan man x.com/ThrowbackHoops…

@PFF_Fantasy I could probably find two guys at the park by my house that are better than these bums.
