I'm old enough to remember when @ChicagoBears used to give De'Andre Swift a lot of carries during an #NFL game.

uh oh!

Tank Dell comes back healthy just in time to keep Marvin Harrison, Jr irrelevant.

Jonathan Taylor playing but McGowan gets the TD

someone some where in the world is going to lose their #FantasyFootball game this week because Derrick Henry threw a pass for negative three yards.

What??? Today's election day??? I hadn't heard that.

Best thing about voting early is some of the calls and text messages stop because they know you already voted.

When I drafted my #FantasyFootball team I wasn't thinking my top running backs might end up being Ollie Gordon and Seth McGowan.

Is there a #MLB rule that if you're going to be safe at home by 20 feet you still must slide head first if it's a #WorldSeries game?

#NFL @Giants Cam Skattebo #FantasyFootball owners scared he's going to fumble again today.

Just give @Brewers the trophy now. No need to keep playing any more.

Holy Bill Buckner!!!

Have I ever jumped out of an airplane without a parachute? Not to my knowledge.

Have I ever had sex with Ilhan Omar? Not to my knowledge.

If an #MLB pitcher comes in the 9th inning with a 3-run lead, nobody out, nobody on, why do they get credit for a "Save"? What are they saving? They aren't saving anything! This should be called a "hold" or the "final hold." There should be criteria such as If they come in with a one-run lead, a guy on third, and less than two outs, then they saved something. Who's with me on this? @RonShandler @ToddZola @Jeff_Erickson @PitcherList @elonmusk ?

Drake Maye 48 yard TD pass to Rhamondre Stevenson is a good thing when you have both players in #SFB16!

I could never play on offense in the #NFL, my dance moves aren't good enough for after I score a TD.
