Yahoo's Charles Robinson is filling in for Pat Forde, and there's plenty to recap after an eventful weekend of football.
First and foremost, AP and Jimmy G are injured. For the Vikings, that's really not how you want to open a stadium (also, where was the cart to help him off the field?).

And Lamar Jackson...is he a bigger, better version of Michael Vick? It certainly looks like it.
All that, and much, much more on Monday's edition of Wetzel to Forde.

Oh, and one more thing--a prop bet. Will the Rams score a touchdown against the Seahawks? Let us know what you think on Twitter!
Tom Brady may not be playing, but he's still making headlines! Apparently, he's never eaten a strawberry. Mind-blowing stuff.
Next up, on the heels of the NCAA pulling a host of championship events out of North Carolina, the ACC has done the same. How badly will this hurt local businesses in NC?
Also, Mike Leach is crabby, probably because his team is 0-2, and is taking it out on the world.
And finally, this summer has brought a rash of creepy clown incidents--will the bad clowns ruin things for the ones who are devoted to their craft?
We've got all the answers and analysis you'll need on today's Wetzel to Forde
