The roundup:
ESPN’s new Fantasy Football site and app picked a hell of a day to go wonky.
I always hesitate to say “Only Philly fans would do this,” but it does seem like maybe only Philly fans would yell a basketball strategy question at Brett Brown from the stands as he’s glad-handing, and actually get an answer:

And Brett, of course, wasn’t the only Sixer there. According to a French Sixers fan account, here’s Ben Simmons with Joel Embiid and Jerry Colangelo:

Terrance William’s refusal to get out of bounds got him totally roasted by the official Madden twitter account.
Aaron Rodgers does what he wants:
Rodgers was being pulled to the ground…
But that was NOT stopping him.Crazy throw. Crazy catch. @Packers TD! https://t.co/fAEcLqELri

When your team leaves you behind, you still gotta get to the game, That’s what Uber is for.
Sometimes life is weird: Both games involving last season’s conference finalist ended with missed (NFC) field goal, with the AFC teams winning. Also both AFC teams had a different QB playing than last season.
Jack Del Rio is funny. WHO KNEW?

Sam Bradford didn’t play.
Shaun Hill starts for Minny over traded for Sam Bradford. All 8 of Hill's career starts came in 2014 replacing the injured… Sam Bradford
