Actually the third, after Morrone.

Lynn part of the small subset of coaches clearly worse than Doug. He's neck and neck with Kingsbury.

That's a good question.

Cam won't be back.

I think the Pats make a play for Stafford. I could also see him in SF.

NE could take Jimmy G back bc he's an original there and perhaps McDaniels thinks he can win with him.

Darnold is interesting. I want o see him without being tethered to that dumbshtein Gase. But I doubt Douglas goes that route and looks to Fields or Wilson.

Wentz comes back.

We also assume that the Cowboys and Dak come to terms. It'll be funny if they don't.

Teams who need a QB or will look to change IMO are;

Washington
Dallas - if Dak isn't back
Jacksonville
NY Jets
Miami
New Orleans
Pittsburgh
Indy
Tampa - do they keep Brady another year?
Chicago
New England
San Fran
Carolina - have a feeling they look to draft a guy
Denver
Detroit - if Stafford is moved
Atlanta - if Ryan is moved (SF with Shanahan?)


A lot of potential there for changes.

Title: Re: Around The NFL - 2021

Heard this idea floated: The NFL should consider changing the MVP award.  It may be impossible for a non-QB to win the award anymore, given how much the rules have been crafted to favor QB play. 

Thoughts?


here's a Reddit thread on an idea to give a QB specific award

There should probably be offensive, defensive, and special teams league mvp awards and a separate qb only award. If you go with just a league mvp and a qb award, it's probably going to the defensive mvp anyway.

It's not the NFL's award to change. It's given by the Associated Press.

I don't think the rules have driven the award. It's a narrative award and the way the sports media crafts narratives around the NFL has come to give the QB an outsized amount of attention. It's an old cliche but the QB does get too much credit when things go well and too much blame when things go badly.

It is time to separate out the QB for a different award though. You know that by trying to imagine what kinds of seasons it would take for players at different positions to win the award. Players like Jerry Rice and Reggie White never won the thing.

In their defense, he certainly hasn't looked special in any of the games I've seen. He looked a little scared and didn't have that air of command and confidence that you'd like to see. He kind of looks like just a guy at the moment...but I'm sure the lack of training camp didn't help.

its a smart move to set up the bottom out, i guess.

i dont understand why pace and nagy are willing to go along with this, but from a franchise perspective theyre going to blow this year. blow. go 3-13, grab the 1 and try again. theres nothing else they can do unless something for wilson/watson can magically be pulled off

That's the thing - Pace and Nagy won't be there if they land a top pick.

So these two dopes hitch their wagon to Andy Dalton.

In other news:

WFT signed CB William Jackson
TEN signed Janoris Jenkins
MIA signed Jacoby Brissett
HOU signed Tyrod Taylor
NYG signed John Ross
LAS cut Rodney Hudson which makes no sense
CIN signed Chidobe Awuzie

heres what you should care about from the tv deal
-price on the brick going up....league making 10 bills a year from this. so the eagles will have cap room next year
-peacock is NOT getting an exclusive broadcast. this was mis reported. they are basically allowed to do an alternate broadcast for a few games (kinda like what nickelodeon did). so who cares.
-amazon is getting 15 thursday games. will still air on local tv in the markets but you will have to have amazon (or buffstreamz lol) to watch these. no nfl network simulcast. take out the opener and week 17 that leaves 1 week without a game on amazon. guessing that is thanksgiving week but theyve gotten away from doing thursday week 16 games....so i dunno.
-abc is getting 3 games per year. these will be mnf doubleheaders, with the other game being on espn. like this.
-i cant find specifics but there is "increased flex scheduling" for both snf and ALSO mnf.
-none of this starts until 2023! it runs through 2033 when i turn...46 holy farg

This kid might set the record for not giving a farg.

QuoteDAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins waived 2020 first-round offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson on Saturday, just days after acquiring him in a trade with the Tennessee Titans.

Wilson was hours late for his physical and team onboarding process, skipped multiple optional workouts that he agreed to attend on Thursday and Friday and declined support service help that he was offered, all in his first official week with the team, sources said.

Miami was aiming to take a low-risk flier on Wilson, who was acquired with a 2022 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2021 seventh-round pick on a deal that was agreed to on March 8, but finalized earlier this week. His guarantees were voided due to his suspension with the Titans, so he's owed no money, and the loss to Miami is receiving a seventh-round pick one year later.

Coach Brian Flores has known Wilson, a Brooklyn native who went to the same high school, for years. The team hoped that connection plus others on the team would help give Wilson a second chance to reach his on-field potential and manage his off-the-field troubles after a disastrous year in Tennessee. But just days into his time in Miami, Wilson continued to show what a source called a "concerning track record" that made it clear to the team it was time to move on.

Wilson also posted social media videos of him Friday dancing shirtless on top of a car and smoking a vape, the same day he agreed to do a workout. By then, the Dolphins had already decided to move on as Wilson was not receptive of their plans to help him.

Tennessee signed Wilson, the 29th selection in last April's NFL draft, to a four-year, $11.6 million contract in August. He was considered a top-50 prospect by many draft analysts, and a potential long-term starting right tackle. But Wilson's time with the Titans didn't get off to a good start, prompting the team to move on from him less than a year later.

The right tackle out of the University of Georgia played only four snaps in his rookie season, which culminated in his being placed on the non-football injury list in December. Before that, Wilson found himself on the reserve/COVID-19 list twice -- during training camp and in October.

He also had a couple of run-ins with the law. The first came when Tennessee State police broke up an off-campus party Wilson had attended during training camp. In their report, the police documented that Wilson went to the second-floor balcony, where he appeared to briefly consider jumping. He received a trespass warning.

The second incident occurred when Wilson was arrested and charged with a DUI in September when he lost control of his vehicle and struck a concrete wall.

Titans general manager Jon Robinson addressed Wilson's status during a virtual news conference last month, telling reporters he had not spoken to Wilson since putting him on the non-football injury list and suggesting that Wilson "makes a determination on whether he wants to do what it takes to play pro football."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/04/29/nfl-black-agents-white-clients/

Quote...The player called the number on the pamphlet, and Barnes answered. Early into the call, Barnes could sense the player's excitement. But as the conversation continued, the player's enthusiasm dulled. The prospective client, who was White, said he was going in a different direction and ended the call.

"I believe this," said Barnes, who declined to share the name of the player. "When he found out we were Black, he canceled the meeting. We never met with him."

A quarter-century has passed since that phone call, but in Barnes's view, things haven't changed much for Black agents courting future NFL stars. Yes, history was made last year when 17 of the 32 first-round draft picks were represented by Black agents. But that progress comes with an asterisk, Black agents say: Most still don't have a single White client on their rosters.

Barnes, who played in the NFL, said he has represented just two White players over the course of his 35-year career. David Mulugheta — president of team sports at Athletes First and "the world's No. 1 NFL agent," according to Forbes — has said he represents only Black players because White players have not hired him. Peers have echoed a similar plight....

Post by: ice grillin you on May 03, 2021, 12:32:09 PM
There were high fives and raised glasses in every NFL front office about the players they selected. What's more interesting is how front offices reacted to the players other teams selected.

The Athletic surveyed NFL evaluators about how the 2021 draft played out.

Front-office people said they were impressed with the drafts of the Cowboys, Chargers, Giants, Jaguars, Jets, Ravens, Steelers and Vikings, among others.

With linebacker Micah Parsons and cornerback Kelvin Joseph as their first- and second-round picks, the Cowboys were viewed as a team that added two high-end talents to its defense. One scout thinks Joseph was the third-best cornerback in the draft. He also believes both of the Cowboys' fourth-rounders — linebacker Jabril Cox and offensive tackle Josh Ball — will be NFL starters. He said Ball could have gone in the second round.

The Chargers were praised for their solid first two picks, offensive tackle Rashawn Slater and cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., as well as wide receiver Josh Palmer. One front-office person said he thinks all three are starters, with Palmer being a No. 2 receiver who runs excellent routes. Their second pick in the third round, Tre' McKitty, was called "the best blocking tight end in the draft." One predicted fourth-round pick Chris Rumph II will enhance the team with excellent technique, intelligence, savvy, athleticism and character.

The Giants impressed by trading down in the first round, picking up an extra first-round pick next year, and taking wide receiver Kadarius Toney.  Scouts also believe their next three choices — pass rusher Azeez Ojulari, cornerback Aaron Robinson and pass rusher Elerson Smith — represent "really good value."

For sheer depth of talent added, no team touched the Jaguars, who benefited from having the first pick in the first five rounds and extra picks in the first and fourth rounds. One team graded running back Travis Etienne, whom the Jaguars chose with the 25th pick, in a three-way tie with Najee Harris and Javonte Wilson as the highest-rated running back. Representatives from four teams said they had cornerback Tyson Campbell, picked 33rd by the Jags, higher than his Georgia teammate Eric Stokes, who was selected 29th by the Packers. One even had him ahead of Greg Newsome, who went to the Browns with the 26th pick. Scouts said offensive tackle Walker Little, picked in the second round, and safety Andre Cisco, selected in the third, could have been chosen higher if not for injuries. And getting defensive tackle Jay Tufele in the fourth round represented excellent value.

The Jets went offense with their first four picks in an attempt to support No. 2 pick Zach Wilson, their new quarterback. They were able to fill needs without reaching or sacrificing value, according to one front-office man. "They got three starters," a scout said about Wilson, offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker and wide receiver Elijah Moore. "Two of them should be high-level." Safety Hamsah Nasirildeen was deemed an excellent gamble in Round 6, as one scout said he had first-round talent, and three said he could have been chosen as high as the third round even though he's still getting over an ACL injury.

The Ravens were seen as "solid as always" by one scout. Another evaluator said they had "unbelievable value for every pick." He was particularly impressed with the selections of two wide receivers, Rashod Bateman in the first and Tylan Wallace in the fourth. He said Wallace would have been a first-round pick if not for knee problems that began with a torn ACL in 2019. "Lamar Jackson will have a chance to shine with those receivers," he said. He also said pass rusher Odafe Oweh, taken with the 31st selection, would have been a top-10 pick next year had he returned to Penn State for the 2021 season. Third-round picks Ben Cleveland, a guard, and Brandon Stephens, a cornerback, will be above-average starters, in his opinion.

As for the Steelers, one front-office person said they "hit a home run" with first-round pick Harris. "He can be really good for them, a workhorse who brings the added dimension of being able to catch the ball," he said. "He's more complete than any of the backs they've had, even Le'Veon Bell." A second front-office person likes tight end Pat Freiermuth, their second-round pick, as well. "They couldn't have had two more predictable picks," he said.

The Vikings moved down nine spots in the first round to No. 23 and took offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw. One front-office person said Minnesota could have taken Darrisaw with the 14th pick and no one would have thought he'd been drafted too high. Another said he expects the Vikings to have four starters from the draft in Darrisaw, linebacker Chazz Surratt, guard Wyatt Davis and defensive end Patrick Jones. Besides Darrisaw, each was taken in the third round. Two of those picks were acquired in the trade down in the first round.

Here are some notes on particular picks from around the league:

RAIDERS: General manager Mike Mayock said he knew the selection of offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood with the 17th pick would be controversial, and he was right. Several of his peers questioned the choice.

Leatherwood was the third offensive tackle taken, but he was ranked sixth-best by one general manager. Another general manager said he was sure the Raiders were going to take Darrisaw instead of Leatherwood. Said a third: "Darrisaw would have been a more solid pick."

Leatherwood had impressive workout numbers, but he turned off some people by being late for commitments at the Senior Bowl, one scouting director said. An evaluator said Leatherwood has the athleticism and length of the best tackles in the draft, but he doesn't show it consistently. "Every game, he does something you question," he said.

BEARS: Three front-office people said they thought the Bears took a worthwhile risk in giving up a 2022 first-round pick in a trade that enabled them to take quarterback Justin Fields. They also said if the Bears did not move up, they thought Chicago would have taken either Darrisaw, who went to the Vikings with the 23rd pick, or wide receiver Kadarius Toney, whom the Giants picked with the 20th selection acquired from the Bears.

Some thought Toney would slip because of maturity issues, but the Giants and other teams ended up believing the reward was worth the risk, or that the risk isn't daunting. "He's a phenomenal athlete," a scout said. "He's electric with the ball in his hands. He's different from anybody."

PANTHERS: The Panthers' selections and draft maneuverings generally were well-received, but some evaluators questioned the decision to select cornerback Jaycee Horn over Patrick Surtain with the eighth pick. While one front-office person said the only reason to take Horn first might be that Horn could have more upside, another couldn't understand it. He said in terms of talent, Horn ranked behind not only Surtain but also Caleb Farley, who went to the Titans on the 22nd pick but had medical issues.

One evaluator said Horn is a little tighter than Surtain in off-man coverage. Another said Surtain rates higher in technique and intangibles.

Two scouts were high on the Panthers drafting wide receiver Terrace Marshall in the second round (No. 59). One said he could have been taken as high as the middle of the first round.

BRONCOS: The Broncos mostly were praised for taking Surtain even though they passed on a quarterback with excellent potential in Fields. "He's the most well-rounded cornerback I've seen in a very long time, and he got one of the highest grades I gave a corner in a while," one scout said. "He doesn't have many holes."

Cornerback wasn't a pressing need for the Broncos, but a scout said he understood why they would take a cornerback with Patrick Mahomes in the same division. Last season, the AFC West had the top-ranked passing team (Chiefs), the No. 6 passing team (Chargers) and the No. 7 passing team (Raiders).

BUCCANEERS: Scouts were intrigued by the Bucs' selection of quarterback Kyle Trask with the last pick of the second round. One thought Trask could have gone about one round earlier. Another said he had Trask rated equally with Mac Jones, taken with the 15th pick in the first round by the Patriots.

While Trask fits Bruce Arians' profile for a quarterback in the estimation of one evaluator, he said he does not see Trask as the next Tom Brady. "He doesn't have the quick processing to get the ball out like Brady does," he said. "At his pro day, everything he did was methodical."

LIONS: The Lions' fourth-round selection of linebacker Derrick Barnes was termed "a steal" by one veteran evaluator. He thinks Barnes, who moved to inside linebacker from outside linebacker in 2020, has first-round talent as an inside linebacker and is a better prospect than 2017 Lions first-round pick Jarrad Davis was. "The combine had bad grades on him, and people didn't know about him until late," he said. "But he's big, fast and tough."

BEARS II: Three front-office people thought offensive tackle Teven Jenkins went about where he should go with the seventh pick of the second round to the Bears (No. 39). Another thought he could have gone 10 to 15 picks higher. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, at least one other team was interested in trading up to take Jenkins, as the Bears did.

No one questions that Jenkins can play like a first-rounder. He was third-fastest among offensive tackles who ran a 40, with a 4.99, and he did it weighing 317 pounds. He also had the second-most reps on the bench press with 36.

Jenkins helped himself with an outstanding senior season. One scout was particularly impressed with how he handled pass rusher Joseph Assai, taken in the third round by the Bengals. But before Jenkins' senior season, there were questions about his commitment level. Evaluators say in 2020, he worked much harder than he previously did. Some teams might have been less enthusiastic about Jenkins because he had back issues at Oklahoma State.

One evaluator said he expects Jenkins and Larry Borom, whom the Bears chose in the fifth round, to be NFL starters, and he said both can play tackle.

WFT: Washington's selection of Jamin Davis with the 19th pick turned some heads, but multiple front-office people thought the choice was sound. "Great on tape, great workout, makes plays," one said. "I knew he'd go in the first."

One saw the selection as an attempt by Washington head coach Ron Rivera to re-create the defenses he worked with in Chicago (Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs) and Carolina (Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis). Said another: "Davis was one of my favorite players in the draft."

SAINTS: The selection of defensive end Payton Turner with the 28th pick was questioned. "Severe reach," one scout said. Four evaluators had Turner pegged as a third-rounder. Another called him a "developmental guy" but acknowledged he has upside.

The Saints' draft might have been better received if they had taken second-round pick Pete Werner in the first and Turner in the second, as Werner was considered a strong selection. One evaluator said he thinks Werner has first-round ability.

• More than one front-office person remarked that area scouts and even scouting directors had less influence than usual over the 2021 draft and were marginalized in the process.

Part of it is because they didn't have as much valuable information as in a normal year because they couldn't travel as much during the fall. And part of it is that they had less face time with their teams' top decision-makers. They usually weren't physically in their draft rooms, and in some cases, they weren't even at their team facilities. As a result, general managers, head coaches and even assistant coaches wielded more influence over this draft than usual.

the league gave them all 4 primetime games at home. this never happens. its a massive advantage. all 4 are against big time teams and all 4 will be 90% road fans. this was the point of chargers moving there. theyll sell tickets but it wont be to their fans.

thought the opener being dallas/tampa was interesting. usually league puts a B/B+ game there but they must really want to start the year with some good headlines about ratings being up. this is a monster matchup usually reserved for mid to late season.

Honestly not sure about that. He's taken zero responsibility. This isn't like Michael Vick admitting his crimes, serving time, and taking a series of right steps afterward to clean up his name. And women aren't dogs. [I'll just leave that bait out for you.]

The NFL, Texans, and NFLPA are in this really weird spot where a young star is not criminally charged but is clearly guilty of sex crimes. They are sort of hemmed in by their own rules. But no one with a conscience wants to pay this guy, take the field with him, or cheer him on. That's why I'm breaking out the popcorn to see how these organizations handle this, not because I think "farg the dozens of women he terrorized".

But yeah the whole reporting on the trade request is not newsworthy. At least on the Sirius sports updates they're mentioning the allegations against him.

QuoteTAMPA, Fla. -- In a tweet that was put out Thursday and later deleted, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette indicated he didn't want to get vaccinated for COVID-19. But on Sunday he said his decision wasn't set in stone and he is open to the idea.

"I just don't know too much about it," Fournette said after the team's first training camp practice.

Good.

" The NFL tonight sent clubs updated training camp and preseason COVID protocols, including discipline for any player -- regardless of vaccination status -- who refuses to wear a tracking device ($14,650) or refuses to submit to required virus testing ($50,000), per source.

Tonight's memo also clarified restrictions for unvaccinated players outside the facility -- including bans on night clubs, bars, sporting events, concerts, etc.. All subject to a $14,650 fine for a first offense.

Protocols remain stiffest for unvaccinated players, who must wear masks at all times: 1) while lifting in the weight room; 2) at walkthroughs; and 3) at practice, including warmups/stretch, "except when doing so would interfere with their ability to engage in athletic activity".

It doesn't seem like guys get a reputation as a dirty player anymore and this is probably part of it. Back in the day some thought is was worth 15 yards to try and take a player out or give them alligator arms. Some of Buddy's boys were guilty of that. In the next generation Dawkins had a skill set that included using his strength and athleticism to clobber a player while finding the margins just inside of getting flagged. You wonder if this generation of defensive players are so neutered, and with how often the offense picks up chunk plays, does there come a point again where it is worth a flag to just take a real shot at a QB or receiver, especially since you might get flagged anyway.

Injury bug is all over Baltimore this year.

Gus Edwards and Marcus Peters both suffered potentially season ending knee injuries in practice today.

If that's true, the Ravens have lost three running backs for the season already, including their top two and a young guy who was figuring to get some play:

JK Dobbins
Gus Edwards
Justice Hill

They added LeVeon Bell...gonna need to go back to the market for another I think...

Am I the only NFL watcher who thinks that it's almost always better to just take the delay of game than to avoid it by burning a time out?

How many times do you see games like last night where a team burns one or two TOs in the third quarter, early 4th....only to sorely need them at the end of the game.  But that's the way the game is played, so there must be some good reason.

What am I missing?  Why are is avoiding a delay of game so often judged to be more important than having TOs to use in the closing game?

No, I generally agree. But it depends on the time in the game, the down and distance and position on the field.

If you're 3rd and 2 I get taking the TO. But if you're 2nd and 15 already why burn it?
Title: Re: Around The NFL - 2021
Post by: Diomedes on September 27, 2021, 03:42:21 PM
3rd quarter 3rd and 2... To my way of thinking not worth the time out.  Eat the yards, even suffer the drive to stall if you can't get seven ...  because if you can't get seven after farging yourself five, then you suck anyway and farg you.

I'd rather close a half with time outs to spare than use them up and not have them when you need it.

There are plays in the book designed to gain yard... Execute them.  There are no plays to stop the clock.  I mean there are, but you know what I mean.

It does seem fishy as hell. Considering how many NFL people say dumb things right out in the open, I get the sense that a large percentage of the league (coaches, players, everyone) would have to resign if the NFL got a hold of their private correspondence from ten years ago and held them to the same standard.

Does seem possible however that whoever was reviewing the emails for the NFL was enraged by the content and no one at the NFL wanted to attempt to keep the investigation focused out of fear of looking bad themselves.

What Gruden wrote in those e-mails was appalling but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to field a single coaching staff if the same criteria was applied to everyone employed in the league.

Also - this is just a small anecdote... when my wife was ill and receiving cancer treatment she was visited in the hospital by Gruden and his wife.  He was kind, caring and supportive and cheered her up immensely.  Even talked about the rats and cats at the Vet with her. 

I'm just saying, we all have issues and what he wrote was disgusting but that's not ALL the guy is.

Wokeness has gone too far. People's lives shouldn't be ruined over a set of stupid emails. Hate to break it to the woke crew but not everyone is perfect. It's ironic that if these emails had come out when he was unemployed, he later apologized then was given a job he'd be forgiven. But because they were dug up while he was coaching he's an automatic pos. Forget everything else the guy has done in life he's now known for sending some zesty emails.

I hope you realize the underlying political ramifications this has. Let me paint it out for you:

Trump - dodges a draft and criticizes a war hero, is named in a lawsuit with Epstein for sexual assault of a minor, is caught on tape saying he grabs women by the Hoyda, raw dogs a porn star while his wife's 6 months pregnant and pays her off. Gets elected President and is now the face of the GOP.

The Left - anyone that ever said or wrote anything bad ever is a pos and should be fired and flogged.

Do you see the problem?

Trumpmania isn't because the deplorables that love him understand or even care about his policies, it's a direct result of wokeism, cancel culture, CRT...essentially anything they can pin on the left. This just gives them another bullet. The pigs are gonna take back the house/senate then win or lose 2024 is setting up to be another disaster. Only now Trumps put more people in place do when he loses those states are going to back him. I don't condone what Gruden said but everyday voters are tired of the woke shtein. The Dems need to grow thicker skin.

Dude wasn't put in prison.  They aren't taking away his house.  He can still vote.  He gets to keep all his money.

A private company decided they'd rather not employ a guy who like to talk racist, sexist, homo-hate speech.  Hardly ruining his life.

Now, if you mean his repuation is ruined, well he can read the emails he sent and look in the  mirror...

he has more money than he could ever spend and gets to retire on some caribbean island...only the whitest most privileged people could think thats a ruined life

His life is football whether it was coaching or in the booth. But forget everything he's done now he's the guy who sent stupid emails. They're farging private emails that weren't intended to hurt anyone. He didn't kill or rape someone, commit domestic violence etc. This is the type shtein he should say sorry, do some sensitivity training, then move on. But since we live in such a hypersensitive world the woke crowd needs to take it overboard.

If his life is football, maybe he should have protected it by not sending racist stuff in writing?  farg sake, he's been fired for being stupid as much as for his repugnant speech.

And he wasn't fired by AOC or whoever else you poor fools think is the leader of "the woke crowd."  He was fired by the Las Vegas Raiders.  And they weren't forced to fire him.  Do you mean to say the Raiders, or the NFL, are part of the "woke crowd?"  That's farcical. 

Just calm down.  Gruden's life was not ruined, and to the degree it was de-railed, he has only himself to blame.

Come on, dude.  Your critical thinking skills are suspect from time to time.  All decent people agree with it.  He was clearly exposed by the NFL. 

Both of the following are true:

The NFL targeted Gruden in a media hit job, leaking information damaging to him deliberately.
Gruden wrote racist, sexist, anti-gay, emails at work to other NFL people at work, etc.

Let me put it another way:  Noting that Gruden was thrown under the bus does not mean you defend him.

Putting his emails out there exposed him. Whether that was done by someone who wanted him exposed and dealt with for being a POS or whether it was done as a "hey look over here!" distraction while other transgressions of varying severities were swept under the rug I don't know.

I do know that it's suspicious in the grand scheme because out of 650k emails I don't believe what Jon Gruden said was the worst of it. And what he said was disgusting and hurtful to his targets and for people like his targets. It's also an affront to society and decent people who want to move beyond racism and other -ism's.

The NFL offered him up as a sacrifice. And the others who were investigated skate free. Owners protect their own. Protecting "the shield". Mark Davis didn't even have the balls to address the media. He made others answer for him.

Roger Goodell, the owners and others who make gobs of money will not be taken down. Unless the cabal of billionaires wants one of them out.

No.  He got outed.  His exposure was not the result of journalistic investigation.  Someone in the NFL handed it over. 

It does not absolve him of responsibility, but there's a difference worth noting.

The little one was thrown to the wolves while the big ones were protected.

Gruden sues Goodell and the NFL
Quote"Through a malicious and orchestrated campaign, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell sought to destroy the career and reputation of Jon Gruden, the former head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders," the lawsuit alleges.  The complaint contends that Gruden was "forced to resign" as a result of the persistent leak of supposedly secret emails from the Washington Football Team investigation. 

"When their initial salvo did not result in Gruden's firing or resignation, Defendants ratcheted up the pressure by intimating that further documents would become public if Gruden was not fired," the lawsuit filed Thursday on Gruden's behalf alleges. "They followed through with this threat by leaking another batch of documents to the New York Times for an October 11, 2021 article. On October 7, 2021, Jon Gruden was the head coach of the Raiders on a 10-year, $100-million contract. By October 11, 2021, he had been forced to resign."

Well, they lost Jackon and then put Atwell on IR.  So it was a swap of one diva for another and not much depth behind the starters.

Then yesterday, Woods tore his ACL.

Kupp, OBJ, Van Jefferson....and a bunch of Eagles quality WRs (Smith notwithstanding)

That can't be right, I think the NFL said the most unvaxxed team was 80% vaxxed at the start of the season.

Kyle Fuller is the only one I've seen confirmed out for Sunday (i.e. unvaxxed). Montez Sweat is unvaccinated too but was put on the list a while ago, so he could still potentially be activated.

They said teams would get slapped if they had an outbreak because of unvaxxed players or staff. That's not the case with the Browns. For teams with an outbreak among the vaccinated the NFL stated that they would do whatever needed to be done to uphold the safety and competitive integrity of the league.

Not that this wasn't entirely predictable but
Quote
Antonio Brown smuggled an OnlyFans model who went viral for licking a toilet seat into his hotel room for a sex romp the night before he stormed off the field during a game, DailyMail.com reports.

Brown, 33, snuck glamorous lingerie blogger Ava Louise, 23, into the Westin in Jersey City, New Jersey last Saturday in defiance of the NFL's Covid rules – and filmed a series of pornographic videos during the romp.

Louise, who shot to fame in 2020 after she filmed herself licking a toilet seat in a bid to catch Covid, said she spent an hour with the wide receiver and snuck past security to join Brown for the sex session.

The 23-year-old said he had wanted her to spend the night with him but she initially declined after discovering she would have to be smuggled out of his room ahead of his 7am meeting with Tom Brady.

Louise said Brown had appeared disturbed before their sex session  – leaving her rambling voice messages and going on a rant about Covid and NFL rules before they got up close and personal.

On New Year's Day, Louise said she was preparing for a night out with friends when Brown began messaging her, sending her a string of voice messages – including one in which he offered her 'a bonus' if she would come over and 'hang out' with him.

Louise said that she was initially uncertain but decided to go to the Westin 'to find out what's going on' and said she was concerned by his mumbling.

She said: 'He was mumbling [in the messages] and not making sense. Honestly, I thought he was drunk.

'He kept saying I have money for you, I have a bonus for you and I was like, what are you saying? I just thought that was weird.

'I thought, ok, I'll just go see what this is about because it's Antonio Brown, it's the day before the Jets game, I'll go.'

When she arrived at 11:15pm, she was forced to sneak past security due to NFL Covid rules which state teams must live in a virus-secure 'bubble' and cannot see guests.

Louise told how she snuck into the elevator behind other guests and hit the button for the sixth floor where Brown met her and pulled her into his room – 611.

Inside, she says the 33-year-old began ranting about 'bulls**t Covid rules' and repeatedly told her, 'f*** the NFL'.

She says he then went on to tell her he is 'insane' before adding: 'You don't even know my crazy right now. You don't know my crazy right now.'

Despite her concern over his mumbling, the pair went on to have sex – which Brown insisted on filming for her Only Fans account.

Louise said: 'When we had sex, he wanted to film it and make a tape on my phone. He wanted me to put it out there.

'I looked at him and I'm like, are you being serious right now? He was. Again, I'm like, you're Antonio Brown – why would you want that scandal?

'But he wanted to create that. I think it was purposeful considering how he's been acting in the media. He wants that controversy, he wants this attached to his name.'

She added: 'He knows I have an Only Fans – he told me, let's make a tape for your Only Fans. Obviously, I'm not putting it out there right now but that's pretty crazy.'

After they had sex, Louise said Brown asked her to stay but she decided not to after he revealed he had an early meeting with Tom Brady planned – she left at 12:30am.

She told how he fretted to her about making another Super Bowl and mumbled as he drifted in and out of sleep before she left.

He had a meeting with Brady so he had to be up. But he was like, yeah let's go to sleep, sleep over.

'I said no because I was in bed with him and he was in and out of sleep. He was talking in his sleep.

'So, I was like this is a really weird situation. He kept mumbling and then waking up and saying, "I'm going to give you tickets, I can't wait for you to see what I do tomorrow. I can't wait for you to see me tomorrow."

'I was like, OK, yeah I'd love to come to the game with my friends.'

The next morning, Louise said she texted him the videos of their sex session but didn't hear from him again until after the game when she asked why he had stormed off the field.

Louise said: 'When he stormed off the field, I texted him and I said to him, why did you do that?

'He said "YC baby?" That means you see me. I said, "yes I saw you but why did you do that?"'

'He replied "you see me baby?" I said, 'obviously I saw you but why did you do it?' He didn't respond to that.

LMFAO!  Something about Dallas - Garrett and his smug little "I think I just shtein myself" smile, Dumbfounded McCarthy and his Bluto Blutarsky face, swine face is a natural.

Bears hiring Eberflus is a little weird. You'd think they'd be looking to get an offensive guy for Fields

Josh Allen is pretty good and that Brady guy had a solid career in new England

hiring offensive coaches for the sake of it is a giant pet peeve of mine

tomlin, mcdermott, belichick, carroll, harbaugh, vrabel...some of the best coaches in the league are defensive guys.

Obviously take the best candidate regardless but all things equal I'd almost prefer a defensive HC so I could get dedicated offensive coordinators and coaches who focus solely or almost solely on the qb and aren't burdened by being the ceo of the team

I think a lot of the focus on offensive head coaches has been to avoid the trap of having your playcaller poached by another team if he has any success. Belichick the genius got around that problem by having a toxic human as his successful OC.

But for some of these franchises that are reeling, I think you pick for leadership qualities first and worry about the Xs and Os later.

thats always been my thinking...the ravens and steelers are consistently good teams and cycle through OC's. owners get hard ons for payton, mcvay, etc. and want to copy that

More talk coming out about Brady retiring. Scared little bitch is afraid of having to meet Hurts again in the playoffs.

giants hired the bills gm, who hired the bills oc, who hired the bills qb coach to be his oc

first off sean mcdermott broke the cardinal rule of andy which is not let your coaches poach your coaches when they get hired...the second is the giants are pathetically becoming bills south but without their mvp qb. we'll see how it goes.

Damon Arnett pulled a gun on a valet in Vegas last night and is sitting in jail right now.   One hopes the judge will leave him there.

Chiefs cut him immediately this morning.  I hadn't noticed they picked him up after he was dumped by the Raiders for making death threats with a gun online.

Raiders had two ones last year, both out of the league and in jail (or going there soon.)

He should hold a series of press conferences to say he hasn't made up his mind yet

I was hoping it wouldn't be too much to ask that Aaron Rodgers also retire, but then I thought nah, we'd see more of him in the media if he did. I think he'd be dumb to actually leave GB except I wonder if now the Bucs could be an option, especially if they'd take Davante Adams, like Brady brought Gronk and AB in.

I hope this all ends with an hour long special on ESPN where he finally announces if he's going to retire or not.
