The List: Plenty of questions raised by players missing games for babies being born

Mike Florio said, “Players missing games for babies being born raises plenty of questions.” Tom Ziller and I have compiled those questions.

  • Should I drop [player] a round in my fantasy draft if his wife is pregnant?
  • Do babies get playoff shares? If so, why? They didn't do anything.
  • Will the Falcons ever win a playoff baby?
  • Do you mean to tell me Antonio Cromartie isn't a careful family planner?
  • Should Jaguars players avoid scheduling babies for when they'll be on Hard Knocks ha ha they'll never be on Hard Knocks
  • Brittfarr never missed a Wranglers commercial game for no babies. Discuss.
  • If Beyonce has a baby during the Super Bowl halftime show will you be all grossed out?
  • Are babies ruining the NFL?
  • Which is Wes Welker better at delivering: in the clutch or a baby?
  • Can we add a Delivery Room Cam to Red Zone so players who cannot miss a game to witness the birth of their child can at least read some tweets about it?
  • Roger Goodell's baby is probably an asshole.
  • Should players apologize to their coaches for letting them down by being fertile and having hearts?
  • Baby Ray played 116 career games for the Packers, none of which he missed in order to give birth to himself. What's your problem?
  • What if it's a beautiful baby?
  • Now that the liberals are in charge, can [something something abortion]
  • Aaron Rodgers snubbed his baby.
  • Is it a $5,000 fine for slapping a newborn baby on the ass, or is it a $15,000 penalty?
  • Should we ban football players who can make babies?
  • When a woman loves a man very much she invites him into her special place, and that's where babies come from, Mike Florio.
  • Babies are not dog babies; those are called puppies.
  • Why can't football players be abstinent from January through April so special babies aren't birthed during fantasy football season?
  • Why are football players with families so soft?
  • Arrests.
  • Can players miss games to deliver other people's babies?
