Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, Terrance William, and Zach Martin are better draft picks than anything Jerry and Wade cooked up in their years running the draft.

Gratz on getting four picks right. How about that Claiborne fuck up? How about the fact they fielded one of the worst defenses in football history last year and didn't really improve it over the offseason? How about the fact the team has been getting progressively worse? But ya, they got four picks right in four years so we are ALL GOOD!
Its funny because its true.
NFC north is shaping up to be a real nice dumpster fire at this point though. Green bay and Chicago have no defenses, and so far green bay doesn't seem to have much of an offense either. You have the Vikings and their issues, and then of course you have the Lions who are pretty much the poster child for unfulfilled potential if the Bengals can actually continue to do well this year and break their recent history of underperformance.
edit: Bears also can't run the ball so far. But that might not be a totally bad thing since we can milk all those nice penalties when DBs try and keep up with Marshall/Jeffries/Bennet.
edited edit: Any Packers fans want to do an Avatar bet for the upcoming game? Standard rules, one week wearing the winners avatar of choice.

It's like the opposite of the AFC North where there's 4 legit Super Bowl Favorites!!!
Sorry.
I actually really like the NFC North this year, not having a horse in the race makes them all having huge glaring flaws not matter. Pulling for Detroit mostly just for Megatron(plus Stafford in fantasy). On paper they should be really good with the players they have. Every week the offense should be exciting, but Stafford can't seem to get his head out of his ass for 2 consecutive games.

Well 3 quarterback changes this week - Bridgewater in Minnesota, Glennon in Tampa, Blake Bortles in Jacksonville, and none of them with easy matchups.
Should be a fun, interception filled weekend! Most likely to succeed? I would say Glennon, though they are all probably going to get righteously spanked down, at least this week.

That's not half as gay as I thought you'd go. I figured it would be Brady in a thong or something Grimm would like.
et tu, Gravy?

Rolando is looking like an absolute steal at this point and the defense, at least after the small sample of 3 games, has been playing much better than last year. They should be getting even better over the next few weeks as some of their best players come back. Scandrick is their top corner and clearly a huge upgrade over Claiborne. Their two best D-linemen Spencer and (hopefully) Lawrence still haven't played a snap yet but Spencer should be back this week and Lawrence in a few weeks.
Claiborne was definitely a fuckup, but nowhere near as bad as the Roy Williams trade. I'm also surprised you left Demarco Murray off that list. He was picked the same draft as Tyron Smith (2011, 3rd round).
