The Buzz - Feb. 21, 2018

I hate the phrase "hump day."

Here are the things you need to know today that I give a shit about - 

Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff is finishing his medical degree and wants "m.D." on the back of his jersey.

Kansas City Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff is finishing his medical degree this offseason, and wants "M.D." on the back of his jersey. This would make him the only player in the NFL to be a medical doctor (obviously). 

There are more than 1,600 players in the NFL. Only one is a future medical doctor.

When @LaurentDTardif gets his degree in May, the @Chiefs O-lineman wants to petition the @NFL to add "M.D." to the back of his jersey. https://t.co/vxotORhv5q pic.twitter.com/bR0EE5Q1ga

​First of all, I have watched every episode of Grey's Anatomy and therefore consider myself a medical doctor, but I couldn't complete medical school if I was actually in medical school and doing nothing else - this dude is completing med school while playing in the NFL? Put the damn letters on his jersey - his name is long enough, what's 2 more letters?

Bucs release Doug Martin.

The Buccaneers have released RB Doug Martin

After heading to two Pro Bowls, but failing to rush for over 500 yards in the past 4 out of 5 seasons (not great!), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are releasing running back Doug Martin. Martin should have interest in free agency, but many running back-desperate teams will most likely opt for a younger guy if they're smart.

On top of probably fucking up at least one of your fantasy teams in the past few years, Martin's accomplishments have been out-shined by his idiotic mistakes - like getting suspended for PEDs (that obviously didn't work) while battling for a playoff spot. 

Jay-Z spent an outrageous amount of money on a bar tab this weekend.

I really don't have anything to add other than that it makes me feel better about how much money I spend on dumb shit when I go out (almost never). Thanks for your service, Jay.

Dolphins tag Jarvis Landry.

The Miami Dolphins are placing the ever-popular franchise tag on wide receiver Jarvis Landry, which means he (probably) won't be going to your wide receiver-desperate team. Not going to name any names.

Miami will use their franchise tag on Jarvis Landry, meaning he won't be going to the Ravens. Which means... yea

Landry can technically still be traded, but the Dolphins won't be giving one of 2018's top free agents away, and now they can decide where he goes, if he goes anywhere. 

In related news, Breshad Perriman makes me cry in the shower.
