lotta injuries this week

adam vinateri having knee surgery... is this it?

The Indianapolis Colts kicker will have season-ending knee surgery and will be placed on IR. This dude has been at it for a long time.

This is likely the end of the career for Adam Vinatieri, who struggled in 2019 with the Colts. One of the great kickers in NFL history and, having played since 1996, currently the longest tenured player. Besides Tom Brady, he is the only player from the 2001 Patriots still active https://t.co/5xbjuytBxm

Hard to imagine he keeps this thing going. But, you never know.

The Dallas Cowboys cut kicker Brett Maher on Monday, after a tough season. 

The #Cowboys have made a kicker change: They're releasing Brett Maher and signing Kai Forbath.

​Imagine having kicker problems.. cannot relate.

calvin ridley is dunzo.

The Atlanta Falcons wideout is done for the season due to an abdominal injury. The Falcons have literally not a thing to play for, so this will probably only matter to you if you have him in fantasy.

​The Falcons play the Seattle Seahawks next.

seahawks' rashaad penny is also done for the year.

After injuring his ACL on Sunday night, head coach Pete Carroll announced Monday that Penny will miss the remainder of the season. 

Pete Carroll said Rashaad Penny will miss the rest of the season after injuring his ACL last night. Carroll said he hasn’t heard about the MRI results but that the doctors “could tell it’s a significant injury.”

The patriots are cheating again.

You can't make this shit up, can you? It started with this.

Watching Bengals HC Zac Taylor’s press conference. A reporter just asked if he could confirm if a Patriots employee was videotaping their play calls at the last game? Coach said “No comment and they are aware”
Um....

Basically, a "scout"/member of the Patriots' organization was seen videotaping on the sidelines of Sunday's Browns-Bengals game. Wait for it.... New England claims it was for a "documentary." Suuuuuure it was. Why the fuck are you taping someone else's game for your own documentary? Doesn't make sense. I'm sure it's also just a coincidence that the Patriots play Cincinnati this weekend. How convenient!

does anyone want to win the nfc east?

After defeating the New York Giants 23-17 on Monday night, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys have the same record, remaining in a tight race for the NFC East.

If only they would play like they're in a division race. There's hope for next week, at least.

my picks for tuesday:

click to buy

• Eyelure ProMagnetic Lashes - I've been hearing about these from so many people and just tried them on Monday. I thought they were too good to be true -- who's gonna believe that some MAGNETIC eyeliner is gonna keep your eyelashes on all day long? Well, it's true. I don't wear fake lashes often, but these are good to have on hand for a night out. ($24.80 -- but I got them for $16 at Target)
• Bath and Body Works Evergreen Candle - I've spent approximately a million dollars on Christmas candles so far this year, but this one makes my whole house smell like a fresh Christmas tree. ($22)
  
• Yogalicious leggings - These are my favorite leggings to work out in, they're so lightweight. They feel like Lulus, but they're a quarter of the price. â€‹($24.99)

• LISTEN: The latest episode from Crime Junkie is called Murdered: Jody LeCornu and for all my Baltimore people -- it's a local case! I've heard about this one before and I can tell I'm going to fall into a rabbit hole reading about it. Basically she was last seen at the Mt. Washington Tavern and was murdered in her car in a parking lot in Towson. I'm not gonna spoil the ending, but it's worth a listen.
