Dumping Them Out: Harold Fannin Jr. Has Arrived

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. This is the last Dumping Them Out before I take a 2-weekend break for my honeymoon. No more Dumping Them Out until September 28th. If you need any Boob GIF's, I'd recommend going to Google Images, and typing in "hot girl bikini gif". If you're looking for GIFs I haven't used already, go to > Tools > Any Time > Past Week. TBH I'll probably have used those too. I'm running really thin. But if you're lucky you might find a fresh one.

Last College Football season, the undisputed BEST TIGHT END IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL was Harold Fannin Jr. of the Bowling Green Falcons. Today he made his debut for the Cleveland Browns. As it turns out, being the best tight end in college football translates to being a halfway decent NFL player as well.

I spent the entirely of last college football season comparing my alma mater Bowling Green Falcon's TE Harold Fannin to Penn State TE Tyler Warren. I said some very mean things about Tyler Warren. So as irony would have it, my favorite NFL team, the Indianapolis Colts, drafted Tyler Warren in the first round. And as irony would have it… they both set NFL rookie TE records today…

My friend and his significant other are over for dinner right now. We got to discussing fantasy football, as married adults do. Idk who the fuck is running his league, but his asshole commissioner has fucking PUNTERS on the rosters. 

I don't completely hate it as a concept. I do think it's possible to incorporate punters into fantasy football in a way that's reasonable. But it's so fucked up that Garrett Wilson of the NY Jets could have a TD + 95 yards receiving, and only score 4.5 points more than a decent punter who put a couple of balls inside the 20. I get that punters are important. I get that punters are a huge part of the game. But Garrett Wilson today contributed SO MUCH MORE than 4.5 fantasy points worth of value than NY Jets Punter, A. McNamara. 

It's crazy to me the way the NFL coaching cycle works. Consider the Detroit Lions. They had the PERFECT organization last year. They had the head coach. They had the offensive coordinator. They had the defensive coordinator. Their whole organization was perfectly in place. They won 15 regular season games. But at the end of the year, Ben Johnson (OC) and Aaron Glenn (DC) were scooped up by the Bears and Jets to be head coach. I get the ego thing. I get that coaches aspire to be the "head coach". But if you think about the Detroit Lions as a company (which they are)… if you consider how much money NFL teams make… then why the fuck wouldn't the Detroit Lions throw $30M at each coordinator to keep their company in tact. They have the money. 

I don't understand why teams are so willing to lose their coordinators to head coaching jobs without even putting up a fight. At least try to pay them more. These teams are willing to shell out SO MUCH money for individual players. So why aren't they willing to shell out that much money for coordinators who are objectively even more important? 

Quick question… if you're me in this fantasy football situation… and you're up 1.78 points with only Colston Loveland to play… would you sit Colston Loveland before tomorrow night if you were me?

By tomorrow night I should know of any stat corrections. So if the stat corrections are in place… and if I know for a fact that I'm going to win… I have to bench him right? Assuming the stat corrections are already done for by tomorrow, idk how anyone could convince me that I shouldn't bench them.
