.@WashingtonNFL RB Adrian Peterson on @gmfb @nflnetwork on getting NFL all-time rushing record: "Obviously that's one of the goals I set for myself. My body is feeling good. Maybe play 3 or 4 more years. I didn't know I was that close. I'll put my best foot forward."

Now that the Washington Football Team has released Derrius Guice, its RBs now include:
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 8, 2020
Adrian Peterson
Peyton Barber
J.D. McKissic
Bryce Love
Antonio Gibson
updated... one note: Carolina had taken Guice off the board before the 2018 draft according to multiple sources (over the past few months)... Washington releases RB Guice shortly after arrest https://t.co/TpNX6J16gI

Releasing Derrius Guice should be just the first step. The second should be a permanent ban. Wrote the same last week about Antonio Brown if he isn’t cleared in his sexual assault investigation. pic.twitter.com/qICfN7xx1D

I don’t know what to say. Derrius had a rough life. He had an opportunity to make a better life for himself and his family. We don’t know all the details, but it doesn’t look good. Prayers for the victim. No good comes from this type of tragedy. NONE! pic.twitter.com/XAjMWm4ugW

guess what: Antonio Gibson didn’t need the Guice news to be a superstar fantasy value in 2020....

look at the RB room and ask yourself who this staff would possibly have any allegiance to.
As much as Gibson can bite off he’ll get to chew.

Random 2:52 am tweet : it’s insane that we have a guy opposite of Chase Young that is 6’6, 260 pounds and runs a faster 40 than Odell Beckham Jr.

#Packers LB Preston Smith talking about playing games with no fans: "My first four years in the league, there weren't that many fans in the stadium anyway. So it might be kind of normal now again."

#49ers OT Trent Williams had no opinion on an alternative name for the Washington football team but did add "Washington football team sounds kind of weird, I can say that."
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) August 6, 2020
I mean...so far, the oeople that have gone at Julie Donaldson, whining and complaining...I can’t say it’s been surprising. It’s all the douchebags that stir the shit, or bitch about everything.

Dam you act like we said to cancel the season because we opted out. I want the season to go on & for it to be safe for all my brothers. I did what’s best for me & my situation, this ain’t got anything to do with nobody else. I’m at peace knowing I did what’s best for my family. https://t.co/UsBdubFPir

The NFL is removing #Seahawks CB Quinton Dunbar from the exempt list, clearing him to join the team as soon as tomorrow, source said.

Quinton Dunbar posted this news clip on IG with the caption: "they tried to take my life and still trying to take another I won't sleep right till these alleged victims get what they deserve they ain't right at all in due time my god will expose them all." pic.twitter.com/wxHLpQbMnt

This is an amazing look behind the scenes at the amount of work NFL teams are doing to keep players (and staff) as safe as possible. Going to be a huge challenge.

My other takeaway is how impossible this would be to pull off at the college level.pic.twitter.com/o28DgltCwd
There’s a loooooot of draft prospects in the MAC that could be severely hurt by this. What an absolutely shitty situation https://t.co/TzF0hkjtLG

I am hearing a lot of rumors that the NCAA will be moving all of football to the spring. Not confirmed but doesn’t sound promising.
— DEC Management (@davidcanter) August 7, 2020
Source: Big Ten presidents are meeting today. All options are on the table. There's some presidential momentum for canceling the fall football season. It's unknown if there's enough support to make that decision today.

The NCAA Football Rules Oversight Committee told members today the coin flip will now consist of one captain from each team and one official, per source. Oh, but then we're gonna collide into each other for 3 hours.

Received an email from @NFL saying I had a drug test coming up. Y’all know I retired right? I’ll take it if y’all give me 5 more years of health insurance. pic.twitter.com/37MN45f4xz

I am genuinely stunned that so many people here seem shocked that college football might shutter for 2020. Like, I cannot fathom how that couldn't have been top of mind by April.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 8, 2020
Really well-researched article about what agents do to land potential @NFL players. I use the word potential because as the piece details many make far less than most think and agents aren't really made whole unless their clients get a second contract. https://t.co/el56GkD8UW
