Brandon Jacobs had pointed but fair criticism of fantasy football leaguers after receiving death threats from people on Twitter regarding his Week 7 availability.
At least one "fan" threatened Jacobs' life if he didn't play against the Vikings. "I think sometimes fantasy football is good, but sometimes I think it has disconnected a lot of players from fans," said Jacobs. "That's all people ever talk about. You sit down to eat at a restaurant and people say, I have you on my fantasy team, you have to do something for me this week. I'm trying to enjoy my dinner, you know?" Conceded Jacobs, "People that understand us and know what we go through every day, I know that fantasy is just fun for them. It's cool to have people like that being involved that know what it is and don't take it too serious."
Yeah, that's DISGUSTING! If you think you have the right to threaten a man over your dumbass fantasy league you need to check into a mental health facility. Even if you think is just a funny joke, you have problems. Realize it and check yourself
If I was a player and some idiot said something like that to me I would just tell him to DROP ME BITCH!! Hahaha some people are just plain and simple dumb!!!
or they got a lot money riding on there fantasy team,i know some leagues that are a thousand entry fee and im sure there are some tha cost more then that

When you play a game for a living and live in the public eye you get what you get . People are crazy. I was lucky last week and won with him in my lineup but had I lost I wouldn't have blamed Jacobs I would be upset with the update that kept him in my line up. If anyone gets killed it should be them fools.

Agreed...if Jacobs is the make or break of your team to the point you have to threaten him, you're doing it wrong

Pretty pathetic to threaten a professional football player. Twit nits should be held acccountable, although many of them belong in a mental ward.

If it wasn't for fantasy football & gambling, what would be the point of the NFL?
