News: The injury train just keeps rolling along. No sooner does Rashee Rice start to look capable of filling the WR1 shoes in KC than he finds himself carted off the field. They aren’t calling it season ending. Maybe the swelling is preventing them from fully assessing it or maybe it’s more like the Achilles tendonitis CMC now magically has in both ankles.

Firstly, congrats to Ceilidh who survived a very “final worthy” final against Dan to win her first Plastic Helmet of Excellence. Ceilidh joined the league in 2011 and by doing so, also enrolled in the…
