Good morning, Winners! Happy Friday!

De'Vondre Campbell just took quiet quitting to a whole new level, folks.

Surely you've heard that the 49ers linebacker told Kyle Shanahan that he didn't feel like playing football last night. He headed into the locker room right after, knowing he'd never play a snap for the 49ers again.

HIS TEAM HATES HIM: Here's everything we know about Campbell quitting on his team 

On the one hand? I can't blame the guy. The field looked disgusting! And the 49ers are not very good. Bashing your head in on a yucky field while playing for a yucky team has to be a nightmare.

On the other hand, quitting on your team stinks. Especially in the middle of a game.

But it is pretty funny, though!

I've been wondering all morning at what moment during last night's 49ers-Rams game did De'Vondre Campbell decide, "You know what? Nah. I'm good."

It must've been before Kyle Shanahan asked him to spell Dre Greenlaw in the fourth quarter. Way before that. My guy quit with conviction. Shanahan said Campbell told him "he didn't want to play today," before walking off. I don't know about y'all, but to me, that's someone who came into the game knowing they weren't going to play today. He was just waiting for his moment!

He'd known all game that the very second that whenever Kyle Shanahan walked up to him to say, "Buddy, can you get in there?" he was going to pull one of these numbers:

I mean, come on. That's hilarious. Pure comedy.

Don't act like you didn't laugh when Antonio Brown (blegh) took his pads off and shimmied off the field without a care in the world? There was also that time that Vontae Davis (may he RIP) retired mid-game. He didn't just quit — he retired! What a legend.

Campbell goes into that group. The pantheon of dudes who'd just decided they'd had enough.

Campbell might not ever play a down in the NFL again after this. I can't imagine this will go over well in other places around the league.

If this is his last NFL moment, at least it was a good one. Well, for us, anyway.

Caleb Williams is broken

The Bears stink that much. Caleb Williams looks so sad talking about how bad the team's current 7-game losing streak is.

Here's Robert Zeglinski with more on the situation with Chicago's QB:

Clearly, the feelings of apathy are mutual here.

Photo Friday: Ever wondered what it was like to be a hockey puck?

I imagine it probably looks something like this.
