Buzz -Raiders fans hate me now even though I was right

So I went through a long weekend of mentions from Oakland Raiders fans on Twitter telling me I was wrong when I mentioned that the reason they cut punter Marquette King was because Gruden didn't like his personality. They spent three days (3 WHOLE DAYS) trashing me, calling me a bitch and other wonderful things, the whole 9. Turns out I was right the whole time, like I knew I was.

This is what got them all worked up.

Gruden doesn’t want the “extra” of Marquette King but his QB is laying on a car hood wearing a suit of denim. OK pic.twitter.com/5yQ0wOZNbU

They were telling me it was because of penalties. That he had too many Instagram followers, that he dressed up in a costume once. And then, what do you know, this story comes out about how Jon Gruden wasn't a fan of his personality.

Good, constant punters are hard to come by. They're not the most glorified position in the NFL, but when they're consistent, they benefit the team. Sam Koch was my Ravens MVP last season as he was literally the only consistent player on the team. Punters most likely aren't gonna win a game for you, or be the difference maker, but the good ones can help put you in the position to get there.

Oakland doesn't even want the Oakland Raiders anymore. Get out of here.

buzz-worthy - 

• "We are certainly aware quarterback deals have evolved since then. We know that at the right time we will have to evolve as well. We don't think this is the time right now. What we are going to focus on right now is building the best team for 2018 we possibly can.” - Bengals vice president on extending quarterback Andy Dalton. (It's because he sucks.)
• Nine former NFL players are participating in a CTE study for living patients. The goal is to get 200 more.
• “There was times when I was on the sideline and I just wanted to go up and say to Belichick or Matt Patricia and just say, ‘Is this how we’re gonna end this?’ I grew up in the Patriots system and I’m a man of God. I respect my authority and I just couldn’t ask them for something they didn’t want to do. I just was doing my job. I was close to going up there and saying what I wanted to say to Matt or Belichick, but I just stayed in my lane and just did my job. And I really wanted to go ask him, but I didn’t." - Malcolm Butler, on the Super Bowl. 
• A horse named after Rob Gronkowski is running in the Kentucky Derby. Do I really need to say anything else? 
• Additionally, Gronk is "pretty certain" he'll play in 2018. No fucking shit. Who didn't see that coming? Despite multiple surgeries and fatigue that normal football players feel, along with his supposed "friction" with head coach Bill Belichick, it looks like we'll see Gronk in 2018.
• The Minnesota Vikings are already looking at punter Marquette King. I guess their current punter sucks? Idk.
• The Baltimore Ravens tried out Willie Snead and Michael Floyd. Baltimore is DESPERATE still when it comes to wide receivers, even after signing Michael Crabtree. The two were both part of a tryout on Friday. 
• Denver Broncos quarterback (if you want to call him that) Paxton Lynch is working out with Tom Brady's trainer. Guess we can also count him out on coffee and tomatoes.
• LeBron James joined Justin Timberlake onstage at his Cleveland show and did a shot of whiskey. In other news, I am now a die-hard LeBron James fan if Justin Timberlake is.
• My March Madness bracket is still intact, because I'm a genius. But the March Madness story of the weekend is how Sister Jean (bless her heart) pulled a Mark Wahlberg and left with about 2 minutes left in the game.

What I'm reading today-

• Ravens considering making an offer to WR Cameron Meredith (Ravens Wire)
• Mark Rypien: Out of the shadows (KHQ)
• Wonderlic test: NFL should sack useless exam (CBS News)

last word-

Sister jean is a bad sport’s town
