The Sporting News' Coverage Of Teddy Bridgewater's Injury Is Cold-Blooded

Obviously as an active participant I know how big of a deal fantasy football is to people, but goddamn - can we get a grace period!?! Maybe wait for one prognosis out of respect for the person that just tore their knee to shreds before we go treating the guy like nothing more than a lost stat line? That article about how the injury to Teddy Bridgewater - however bad it may be - effects Adrian Petersen's value in a fictional, online sport was actually posted 4 minutes PRIOR to the article notifying people of his injury. I'm not even sure Teddy's gurney was wheeled into the hospital yet, and we already had an updated draft value on his running back. I love spending Sundays helplessly checking the score of a game I have absolutely no control over as much as the next guy, but can we at least pretend we feel bad for a promising young player whose injury appeared so disturbing at first glance that teammates were crying, praying, and slamming their helmets in disgust? If the Vikings hadn't canceled practice early they would have been able to read about their backup quarterback's ability to push the ball down the field and open up running lanes before they even got back to the locker room. Not saying I don't appreciate the info, but - considering no one is holding a fantasy draft at 3:30PM on a Tuesday - can it maybe wait a couple hours? If for no other reason then to give Teddy Bridgewater the illusion that anyone outside of Minnesota with WiFi and more than two friends cares he's alive.
