After a disappointing four-point performance in a crucial divisional matchup, local Yahoo Fantasy manager Dan Vinson officially released Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos to the waiver wire on Tuesday, citing an irreparable breakdown in their personal relationship.
The transaction, processed at 3:14 a.m. ET, ended a hostile three-day tenure in which Vinson reportedly hurled obscenities at his television and accused Santos of actively sabotaging his chances at a $50 league payout. According to server logs, Vinson stared at the veteran kicker's headshot on the fantasy app for forty consecutive minutes before aggressively hitting the drop button.
The league office has reviewed Dan's unhinged midnight manifesto regarding Mr. Santos, and we are satisfied that this roster move was made in the best interests of his own fragile ego.
Vinson’s hostility reportedly escalated when Santos missed a third-quarter extra point, prompting the 34-year-old regional logistics coordinator to question the kicker's manhood in a locked 12-person text thread. Despite Santos having no knowledge of Vinson, the league's scoring format, or the city of Columbus where Vinson resides, the fantasy manager has placed the kicker on a permanent blacklist, telling leaguemates that Santos lacks the intangibles necessary to respect another man's weekend.
Before finalizing the transaction, Vinson reportedly spent an hour pacing his kitchen, weighing the emotional cost of holding Santos on the bench just to deny him the opportunity to score points for anyone else. Vinson ultimately decided that the negative energy Santos brought to the active roster was a systemic distraction, concluding that the franchise simply needed to move on and rebuild its winning culture around Baltimore Ravens star Justin Tucker.
At press time, Vinson was constantly refreshing the transaction log to see if a rival team claimed his new nemesis, reportedly eager for the opportunity to watch him fail in another uniform.
