Broncos will not be forfeiting, per source.

Short of luring GM John Elway out of retirement, it sets up as the most unexpected NFL scene of 2020. Broncos have no QBs for a game against the Saints. https://t.co/ig4knEI9vQ

LOL, glad this isn't us.

We don't have a flashy jersey seller at QB. Neither do the Broncos.

Ravens should be forced to forfeit

The league says the entire team has an outbreak situation so they can't let them play until they know how bad it is

LeGarrette Blount retired from the NFL after nine seasons.

Blount hadn't appeared in a game since 2018. He played for five different teams, with four of his nine seasons coming in New England. Blount closes out his career with 6,306 rushing yards, 56 touchdowns, and a 4.2 YPC. He won three Super Bowls and led the league in scoring in 2016.

He was a 49er for about 5 hours, IIRC.

The stuff coming out about this dude is so wild.

Jets beat writer apparently went to the baseball game that the Jets GM's young son was at and was texting photos of the kid to him. That and he used a proxy to attend Jets events after he lost his team access while he and the NYDN both pretended otherwise. Then there's an assortment of harassment allegations and other issues people had with the guy for years while the NYDN actively protected him from.

Mehta had his credentials revoked earlier this year for stalking the son of #Jets general manager Joe Douglas. https://t.co/CCAu1r8o5K

Another tale of a certified sexist a*****e that got away with it too long. Boss encouraged him. He threatened and intimidated Jet's leaders and fellow journalists. https://t.co/ZuUmYnqxpn
— Bob Sutton (@work_matters) December 11, 2020

One of many terrible moves by this dude: "Mehta approached the 11-year-old son of Jets General Manager Joe Douglas at a baseball game and, later, threatened Douglas with bad coverage if he didn't grant an interview"

it's really fun when you commute 4 hours a day to practice and your own training camp observations don't get attributed to you pic.twitter.com/1F1H7OPO3J

To summarize:
- Manish's Jets credentials have been revoked for a long time now.
- Charles essentially did all the work, and Manish still got credit for it.
- The @NYDNSports editor is terrible for allowing this. https://t.co/VCmDIjo9C9

Another fun Manish story: He stalked Jets owner Christopher Johnson at the NFL Combine and followed him into an elevator despite CJ repeatedly asking him to leave. Just weird, man.

From a well-known former Jets beat writer:
"He harassed 3 of us on the beat, all women, and we went to our editors to have them reach out to the NYDN sports editor. Nothing happened. I have no idea why he was enabled."
— Erika 😷 (@emesola) November 26, 2020

Why haven't more beat writers come forward publicly about this?
"You'd just have to suck it up and deal with it if you wanted to keep your beat."
Why do you think most women who covered the Jets got ran off after a short amount of time?
— Erika 😷 (@emesola) November 26, 2020

Manish got jealous that *redacted name* was able to scoop some stories so he ended up pushing some rumor that she was sleeping with Rex Ryan for news. He ended up running her off of the beat because she didn't want to deal with the false rumors being spread.

Dude went and deleted his Twitter.
