Feel that? It’s regret. Mournful regret.

How could you do us like this, Robert Griffin III? Oh yeah, your leg almost snapped in like eight pieces two weeks ago.

Still man, couldn’t you just, I dunno, run more so that we could all win fake championships and not endure a holiday season of ribbing from grandma Beatrice? What, you’ve never lost a fantasy championship to a grandmother before? Sit down, son, and let me tell you about the roads I’ve traveled.

Actually, that’s a story for another day. For now, on with the RG3 lamenting after a very blah afternoon that we should have seen coming.

So many tears. Matthew Stafford lives off the nourishment of your tears. They are his oxygen, and his reason for existence.

If you deprive the demon of its essential life source, it will wither and die. It’s too late now, though. Far too late.

To the James Jones owners out there: please stay safe while eating copious amounts of celebratory Oreos (what? Everyone does that, yes?)

A funny thing happened today: a Browns player who isn’t named Trent Richardson became relevant again.

There was another first too. My usual game watching and perusal of boxscores and various other numbers afterwards led to a game involving the Cleveland Browns being featured prominently in one of these Sunday reaction/observation/rant posts.

Brilliance was in abundance during the nine early afternoon games on this fine Week 13 Sunday in which the temperature of the underworld dropped abruptly, and Rex Ryan finally admitted that his quarterback is not a quarterback at all, and is instead a cougar man toy.

That brilliance oozed from Adrian Peterson and Cam Newton, the latter finishing with 28 fantasy points, the third straight game he’s totaled more than 24 points. But there was one arm where brilliance was absent. Oddly, a young and inexperienced quarterback reminded us that he is indeed young and inexperienced. Yet he still managed to be a fine fantasy commodity.
