Apparently the Browns are going to interview Jim Tressel for HC :sly

Also told it's false that fired #Lions coach Jim Schwartz will be #Browns DC unless new coach vetoes. (reported by LaCanfora and Pompei)
In case it wasn't posted already, looks like it is finalized - Frazier rather than Marinelli as the new DC in Tampa now.
According to Mortenson the Titans have fired Munchak
Wade Phillips is out as Texans DC, replaced by Romeo Crennel
Quote
Some Seahawks fans have started a fund to help running backMarshawn Lynch pay his $50,000 fine to the NFL for refusing to speak to the media during the regular season.
As of 2 p.m. PT on Monday, over $2,000 had been raised at a gofundme.com page, titled "12th Man for Marshawn Lynch."
Seahawks fans have bombarded Twitter with angry comments directed toward the NFL for fining Lynch, who spoke to reporters last week for the first time this season after the fine was imposed.
LOl, that's great. I'd rather see a rule where players aren't allowed to talk to the media rather than they have to. 98% of what they say is a waste of time reading with nothing interesting or insightful. The media types who gripe and whine about players who don't talk, act as if they are championing some cause about the fan's 'right to know,' but are just self serving iceholes who only care because they can't get material to write about.
Better yet...let's start a fund to raise $50k for a multimillionaire!
That's like giving a ham & egger working schmuck $50
If he accepts it I hope he chokes on skittles...after they rape the Saints
i'll take $50 if youre handing them out
I think the money raised and salary of the player is beside the point, which is that the NFL rules corporation and the self serving media troll types can go farg themselves, and fans are happy to kick in a five or a ten to say so instead of being played as poor quote deprived fans by meanie players.
fair enough but it doesnt change the fact that if lynch uses even one dollar of a fans money to pay his fine then he should be tossed into the polar vortex.....fans wanna give money to express their anger over the rule changes then fine....but give the money to charity.....or cte research
Or speedballs and hookers

QuotePettine coached high school football in Pennsylvania at North Penn and William Tennent high schools after working as a graduate assistant at the University of Pittsburgh (1993–1994). He also spent four years as an assistant coach for his father, at Central Bucks West High School. In 1999, ESPN documented the North Penn football season in a film titled The Season. The film followed the team behind the scenes during the 1999 season and highlighted the rivalry between North Penn and Central Bucks West, coached at the time by Pettine's father, Mike Pettine Sr.[1]
yeah, he coached at North Penn like i said.

Not to mention that football was only half of his game.
Not that he was a great ball player, but he's the only person to score a TD and hit a HR in the same week. He's also the only person to play in a WS and SB.
But he wasn't the greatest tackler in the world, so he sucked and has no heart.
its a cliche now to say that this corner or that corner takes away half the field...but no one really has ever done that except for deon
oh he was also probably the best return man of all time...especially his atlanta days....jesus was he incredible

Random information that should not be grouped into one place:
Just noticing that for all his talk about being the best corner in the league, Richard Sherman was the 4th most heavily penalized player in the NFL in terms of yardage. Lots of PI/d holds.
3 of the 4 Eagles starting LBs had just 1 penalty called against them all year, as did Nate Allen (Barwin had 3). No ejections this year for the Birds. Was also reading the Trotter pre-game fight/ejection in ATL lead to a rule change declaring before games the areas between the 45 yard lines are also defined as the neutral zone and no player (other than kickers) can cross into the neutral zone. So, Phreak batsignal, there is a Trotter Rule.

the best players are the most aggressive which often leads to penalties....nate allen is a vagina richard sherman is a beast...guess who is going to have more penalties
the eagle linebackers by and large are slow Hoydas....not very often getting to a spot to make a play and when they do they move in such a slow and reactive manner that they are getting there most times after the ball... if at all....not suprising that barwin their best lb this year had the most penalties....in theory kendricks should as hes the most aggressive but his path to ball is a lot of times more off course than the costa concordia

Edward DeBartolo - YES

Charles Haley - NO - overrated
Marvin Harrison - NO - i understand he basically has to get in with the numbers but he was a product of peyton....HOF route runner tho
Walter Jones - YES - second best OL of his era next to odgen
John Lynch - get the farg out of here
Andre Reed - NO - eh
Will Shields - great but not quite HOF
Michael Strahan - NO/YES - if he agrees to relinquish the single season sack record then he gets in
Aeneas Williams - YES - so underrated...in his era he had to compete with rod woodson deion and EA....pretty sick...such a great playmaker
I don't get your Harrison and Shields comments.
Harrison was a HOF route runner, but a product of Peyton? Was Manning catching the balls for him?
And how can a guy be great but not HOF worthy?
some players are average but not good....some players are good but not great and some players are great but not HOF
as for harrison im not putting a guy in the HOF for route running....marv was basically andre reed with arguably the best qb of all time and in a offensive era and neither of them pass my HOF eye test even if their stats do
Charles Haley was overrated? Don't know if he's HOF worthy but I always thought the guy was really underrated. He used to take games over off the edge. His play gets overshadowed because he played in an era with guys like Reggie and Bruce Smith.
in the prime of his career he had three straight seasons of single digit sacks yet most people would put him in the HOF...he also was famous for taking plays and even games off
that said im not bashing the guy i loved him....he just wasnt a HOF

Sacks totals can be overrated (see Babin). He's a borderline hofer to me but at no point would I ever call him overrated.
well he was an edge rusher so while i agree sacks can be somewhat misleading he needs more to get in the hall....what puts him on a hof level over two dozen other guys who are as good or better than him is that he was lucky enough to play for sf and dallas during their superbowls....otherwise hes clyde simmons or dexter manley....actually those two were better than haley
that what makes him overrated....people put him on a pedestal he shouldn't be on because he was a 49er and cowboy at the right time
I always thought the guy was overshadowed by other players on D and the stars on offense. Never thought he got his due.
In his day he wasn't overrated because he was on prime time so much. Madden would regularly slob his knob over his agility and how he was so great at 'changing direction' (almost as bad as how Brett Favre was "like a kid out there" having fun).
No doubt he was a very good talent but also a classic example of someone who should be in the hall of very good, not the HOF. IGY's right that his reputation is in part due to his exposure from being in the right place at the right time (I think he has at least 4, maybe 5 rings) and that's what is giving him the edge over other equally or more deserving players.
Like it or not Defensive Ends are judged by sack totals. The only reason Haley's even in the conversation is because of the great teams he played on. Hell, Clyde Simmons had 20 more sacks than Haley. He's not Hall-worthy either. Loved him as an Eagle, but come on.
QuoteAdam Schefter
Congratulations HOF Class of 2014: Aeneas Williams, Michael Strahan, Derrick Brooks, Walter Jones, Andre Reed, Ray Guy, Claude Humphrey.
other than nfl hof classes being way too big in general thats a good group other than andre reed who has no business
im pretty sure jeremy maclin is better than andre reed
roob was WIP Saturday night and saying that Eric Allen is just as good if not better than Aeneas Williams. He ran off their numbers and they are extremely close.
All in all he said that Seth, Clyde, and Allen should be in HOF
He's obviously a huge homer but he made decent arguements for each guy. Clyde put up a ton of sacks after he left Reggie and Philadelphia. Seth is the only player in history to have 40+ sacks and 20+ picks (i think those were the numbers) and Allen should get in if Aeneas Williams is in.
The counter argument would be that the Eagles players were surrounded by talent during the prime of their careers while Williams was surrounded by 10 random Cardinals.
Easy E should be a HOF'r. Seth and Clyde not so much. Great but not HOF worthy.
i think EA was a better cover corner...what imo puts aneas williams on a level just above EA and in the hall is that he was a better playmaker...one of the better ive ever seen...and thats not to say EA doesnt deserve to be in the hall...i think he does....but EA was more of a technical stright up cover corner where as aneas was more of an athlete which made him flash in ways that EA didnt
as for clyde its pretty disengenious to act like he rolled without reggie...yeah he put up consistent numbers for a long time post reggie but not double digit hof type numbers...his monster years were with reggie...he was just another guy without him
59 is tough...he was so damn good at so many things that he wasnt dominant at anything...no all nfl teams...i dont even think he had more than one or two pro bowls...almost was like a tweener jack of all trades guy...but farg it put him in....its seth

This. For some reason, I've always remembered/thought that Aeneas had a 4 pick game. I've seriously thought this for 10+ years. I just went through his career game log to confirm and he's never had a game with more than 2. I don't know where the hell that idea came from, but thinking that it's even reasonable for him to have a game like that tells you enough.

Not to you anyway.

5 is about right for the eagles, though i would put them ahead of the lions since all they do is go 5-11 every year. theyve never really had a shot and therefore and have never really felt pain.
the problem with the list is putting the cardinals 9th, which is 1000% will leitch's person feeling since hes the 1 human who stayed with them when they left st louis for arizona. realistically about 15 followed them in the sun devil stadium days. they are basically an expansion team.

Dallas is never leaving the East, regardless of rivalries.
Not sure I understand the point of the map. Is it supposed to be more logical to have the whole AFC East west of three other divisions and to have the NFC South be further west than the NFC West?
errands
I think the idea was to reorganize the divisions by distance, starting with the northeast and working out west. It doesn't really work no matter how you do it, since 20 of the teams are on the east coast and everything west of the Mississippi is a barren wasteland.
It might work if the Seahawks moved to San Antonio and swap them with Arizona. And use mocking finger quotes when talking about the AFC West.
Or move the Seahawks to Oklahoma City and put them in the "West", put Arizona in the West, and move the Titans to the NFC South.
Or you can redo it lottery style. Label 50 ping pong balls with the names of the 50 largest cities and throw them in a lottery whatsit, have the teams go alphabetically selecting new cities from the whatsit and now they have to move there. Then you can figure out new divisions while listening to Green Bay whine that they don't have a team anymore.
I like the idea of moving the Seahawks to OKC. The Mariners, also.
geography to football is irrelevant since they only play once a week....yes there are certain cities that have to be in the same division but it doesn't matter in the least that teams from different parts of the country share a division

Whisenhunt said, "Why didn't you guys hire me last year?''
The Browns' CEO who was in both interviews, Joe Banner, told Whisenhunt he didn't think the staff he was putting together at the time was "a championship coaching staff."
Whisenhunt, one NFL source said, was peeved that a man who had never coached and who'd been involved in football mainly on the business side would sit in judgment of his potential coaches.
"Who are you to tell me what makes up a championship coaching staff?" Whisenhunt said, with an edge in his voice.

Sources: Browns nearly traded with 49ers for Jim Harbaugh
Posted by Mike Florio on February 21, 2014, 4:28 PM EST
The Browns' unpredictable head-coaching search nearly finished with what would have been the most unpredictable outcome of any head-coaching search since Jon Gruden was traded from the Raiders to the Buccaneers a dozen years ago.
Per multiple league sources, the Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a trade with the 49ers for the rights to coach Jim Harbaugh. A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams. But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers. The 49ers could not immediately be reached for comment. Efforts to contact the 49ers continue.
The Browns declined to comment specifically on whether an effort was made to acquire Jim Harbaugh. The Browns characterized the search as thorough, and the Browns acknowledged that many options were considered. The Browns emphasized that the team is excited about its new coach Mike Pettine.
What a mistake by Harbaugh. Giving up the opportunity to coach in the same division as his brother, and in a shtein tier city compared to San Fransisco? He's going to look back on this one day and cry.
Since '99 the Browns have paid over $100 million to coaches and executives
you forgot the best part of that quote. That was money they've paid for them to leave.

Dee Ford is a medical scratch today.
Clowney just ran an unofficial 4.47.
Holy shtein.
And Aaron Donald laid down a 4.65....wow...and his 10yd split was close to Clowney's.
It looks like Mayock's time was a bit generous. They showed a 4.5 guy superimposed over Clowney's and JDC was a shade short.
Still... low 4.5's = insane.

QuoteDolphins floating Dion Jordan in trade talks
Posted by Darin Gantt on February 28, 2014, 2:21 PM EST
Dion Jordan AP
Ordinarily you'd say this was big news.
But given the recent events in Miami, giving up on a first-round pick a year into the process almost doesn't register.
According to Jason LaCanfora of CBSSports.com, the Dolphins are "gauging trade value" for 2013 first-round pick Dion Jordan.
As in, third overall pick Dion Jordan.
As in, the guy they gave up last year's 12th and 42nd overall picks to take third overall, instead of using any of that ammunition to go get a left tackle such as Branden Albert, or some other part the coaching staff had a use for.
Speculation will immediately turn to Philadelphia, since Eagles Chip Kelly used Jordan to such great impact at Oregon.
It'd be a $17M cap hit if they dealt him. Can't see that happening
Jimmy Graham, Greg Hardy and Nick Folk were franchised, and Hauschka will probably get a tag from Seattle
He's an icehole. The only cure for that is death.
Sorry... That was re Incognito.

I does sound unlikely, even if it is Miami. I think they have a lot of cap room though. One possibility would be a trade. Both teams eat cap hits, but it would probably also need for the players to be on board. Not sure who the Eagles could offer up though. Since it's Miami, maybe they could say Barkley is worth a second rounder and move him.
Graham, Bryce Brown and a 2nd?
We talked about it last month (http://www.concretefield.info/forum/index.php?topic=21676.msg955784#msg955784) if you want to read more uninformed hypothetical Dion Jordan stuff.
Thx, I didn't remember that discussion. I don't think I'd do Ed's proposed deal unless maybe we could throw in Patrick Chung as well. I would with those players, a 3rd and a conditional pick if Jordan pans out though.

It is officially $133 million now, 10 more than last year. The cap had been fairly flatline the last few years - last year was the same as 2009 - but good size jumps are expected to continue. I'd take that to mean we'll probably be seeing fewer quality FAs than we'd hoped for hitting the market.

How about Greg Lewis and a 5th?
If Miami is offering him around to all 31 teams (and they're denying it to the media but why would they admit it?), there's no need to give up #22. (yes igs...I know Graham and Brown suck and nobody wants them. I wasn't serious.)
I'd go as high as a 2nd because I like his potential but no way Miami is eating $17 million

Greg Lewis caught a TD in a Super Bowl. That's a once a century feat, no way I give that up.
Reading some more about it, it's only $10M or so for a Miami cap hit if he's traded and the Eagles would absorb some of the difference
http://overthecap.com/salary-cap-financial-considerations-trading-dion-jordan/
Interesting, it could be feasible. The $10M hit for Mia would be for pre- June 1, but iirc a team can designate a players as a post June 1 transaction before that date. But I'm not sure if that is for cuts only or also includes trades, or if there is a condition that this doesn't pertain to players on rookie contracts. If Mia were able to designate Jordan as a post 6/1 trade it drops their hit to very doable $3.3 million, especially since they have around $40M in cap room.
for the Byrds
Quote
WGR 550 Buffalo reports the Bills are unlikely to re-sign or use the franchise tag on free agent FS Jairus Byrd.
"The two sides have had productive discussions, and while things could change, it seems at this point that the two sides will split," writes Jeremy White. White's colleague, Joe Buscaglia, is arguably the top Bills beat reporter and adds that the Bills "explored all their options, including a trade." GM Doug Whaley shot a "substantial offer" Byrd's way, but the 27-year-old seems intent on testing the market.
bonerz
Imagine landing Byrd and drafting Pryor @22
Seems there's a decent chance Orakpo hits the market, too.
Red Bryant is free and Paul Soliai expected to be released, I'd like to see the Eagles check out one of those two as well.
They probably can't fit Byrd and Orakpo into the budget, but if they could, then spent their first few picks on D...next year would be interesting.
I really doubt they go after Byrd/Ward...Orakpo maybe. 9 days.

I don't get the sense they will go after Byrd or Ward either even though safeties command less pay than other defense positions and is their greatest need. I'll bet they are mulling the possibilities of Orakpo though. In the Banner/Reid days they would go after the top FA (or trade) if it was at one of their key 4 or 5 positions but I don't know if Howie will still do that.
supposedly the latest offer to Byrd would've guaranteed $30M over the first 3 years
Yikes, if most of the guaranteed money was in the 1st 3 years and a small percent left as signing bonus I could see going for it if we were one of the teams with crazy cap space, but that's too much for US now.

Is there a rule that they have to have X number of rule changes every year? I can't think of any other reason for that one to be brought up.
Apparently these kicks are annoying someone out there, so the league is thinking about eliminating them completely (and making all TDs 7 points) or making them less automatic
The Eagles better win one soon before this semi-watchable league becomes unwatchable.
Sir Peter King, his football highness, seems to be leading the charge against the XP.
Leave it alone. They're always tinkering with shtein
making the td an auto 7...minus 1 if you miss the 2 and plus 1 if you make it...is fine
extra points are useless and stupid
Get rid of kickers entirely. And punters! Pretend they never existed! Start all drives at the 20, 35 after a safety. Keep it six points for a touchdown, and the extra point is dunking on the now useless goal posts. 2 points for a two handed dunk, obviously. 3 If your nuts touch someone's facemask while doing it.
But that will eventually lead to a re-design of the facemask because someone's nuts were caught and cut off in the mask during a dunk. It's a can of worms is what I'm trying to say.
The extra point is assinine. It's a waste of time and it's boring. It should be eliminated, or changed so that it's actually worth watching and has some meaning to the game.
If doing something like that is going to ruin football for you, all the better.
yeah the xp is the most worthless play in sports....why would anyone care if it was gone much less actually want it to stay

QuoteAdam Schefter
Full Revis story at espn.com.
Short of a trade in the next two days, the Buccaneers are expected to release CB Darrelle Revis by 4 p.m. Wednesday, per league sources. The time is important because on Wednesday, Revis has a $1.5 million roster bonus due and the fourth-round pick the Buccaneers traded to the Jets last year would become a third if Revis is on Tampa's roster as of 4:01 Wednesday.
Thus, rather than lose the money and the extra round, the Bucs will try to trade Revis before then and if no deal is worked out, would likely to release him. Either way, the Jets are expected to receive a fourth-round pick from Tampa, not the Buccaneers' third. Though Tampa Bay would get nothing in return for Revis if it winds up releasing him, it would save the money and the pick, and it instantly would free up $16 million in salary-cap space, all of which had been slated to go to Revis, to go spend on other players or re-sign its own.
At least one team around the league said the Buccaneers had been open to dealing Revis since the combine. The Buccaneers have been attempting to trade him but Revis' contract -- $16 million per year – has been too prohibitive for other teams to pick up. The two sides have discussed a restructured contract but have been unable to come to an agreement so far, per sources. The NFL's highest paid cornerback is Dallas' Brandon Carr at $10.1 million per year.
But just as Revis was one of last off-season's biggest stories, he will be so again this off-season.

One of those guys you're not sure what you're getting. He's been on track for a HOF career until last year. He was pretty nicked up and the D was in total disarray. I think it comes down to is he getting old or was he just not a good hand in the dirt 4-3 guy. How great would it be to get him and have him come back to double digit sacks while killing Romo? I'd offer him a decent contract and guarantee the first couple of years rather a large SB that you're stuck with. I doubt they will have to compete against teams that would still pay him as a top pass rusher.
Josh Mcown to the Bucs
Peppers and Miles Austin to be cut, though no huge surprise
Mitchell got 5 years $25 million from the Steelers. No idea about the sb.
Was he good? I swear I only watch Eagles games...and I mostly fast forward through them to save me agony.
He's ok.
Made news when the Raiders drafted him so high bc he was like the 76th ranked safety and they took him in the 2nd round
Damn, TJ Ward signed for 4/23/14, in the same neighborhood as what the Eagles signed Jenkins for. Of course, Broncos a more desirable destination than Philly.

Toby Gerhart to the Jags
Byrd and Vaccaro is a nice duo
Curious to see how much they paid for Byrd with 2 million in cap room. What does this say about getting rid of Jenkins if they want to upgrade that much?
Byrd signed a 6 year deal with the Saints. Didn't see $$$$ yet.
$54m with $28m guaranteed for Byrd
Wow
Denver the leader for Ware right now per Schefter
Jonathan Martin traded to SF for a conditional pick
Talib to Denver.....6/$57M/$26M guaranteed
About the same as Byrds.
Why no love for Shaun Phillips? He's gotta be the most under the radar FA I see out there. I've hear almost nothing about him. I'd like the Eagles to check him out. He had 10 sacks last year and he wasn't even at this natural position. He's 32 so a 2 year deal should be fine, he's a Philly boy, too.
Donald Brown leaves Indy for San Diego
Agreed on Phillips
I read something that said they asked about him last year and he chose Denver instead
Apparently half the league is falling over their dicks trying to get at Ware and Denver is first in line with the only visit planned, yet they were perfectly willing to let Phillips walk. Not sure why, maybe too high an asking price or the teams just want to keep a low profile til a deal is done? But even throughout the pending FA period his name hasn't come up much when talking about the first couple of tiers.
Edit: so Denver gets TJ Ward, Talib and very possibly Ware. A top safety, CB, and DPR. I can think of another team that needs exactly that. I guess Broncs going all in for Payton's last year or two.
I can't believe Byrd got $8M per... good for him, though.

ward is a one dimensional in the box safety...on this defense (and really in the nfl these days) the secondary has to be able to run and cover...plus chip is all about versatility...size length...tj ward is a midget bowling ball
Midget bowling ball? He's the same size as Jairus Byrd. Honestly, I didn't really see the safeties being 'versatile' or interchangeable last year. They only had two or 3 main looks and they seemed to pretty much stick to their roles. It was unusual in a game for them to even switch sides of the field and when they did it was probably more due to injury replacement or just trying to find something that would work.
last years safeties werent chips...hes still molding the team in the way he wants and tj ward is def not his kind of player...he has a very limited game...chip wants guys he can do different things with...see an ertz or barwin or even kenny phillips last year...didnt work out but kenny phillips in his prime was a better version of malcolm jenkins....the fact that chip coached tj at oregon and the eagles had zero interest says all you need to know about him
I'm thinking it has more to do with Billy Davis than it does Chip.
i disagree....chip is all about size length and versatility on both sides of the ball its a deep seated football philosophy of his going back to before oregon...i would say billy davis' system means something but when picking players for that system he has little to no say in personnel matters

yea i mean he might be sufficient but theres a reason NO was fine with trading him.
i cant see him even being on the team in 3 years much less in the nfl
Only two potentially good seasons for a fifth round pick? What a waste.

QuoteFor Colts owner Jim Irsay, an arrest last month on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and felony possession of a controlled substance (four counts) may have been the tipping point in a series of problems that, at a minimum, justifies careful examination by the league office.
According to Tim Evans and Mark Alesia of the Indianapolis Star, the arrest came less than three weeks after a woman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in a townhouse Irsay previously had given to her.
Police and the coroner are reportedly waiting for toxicology results before determining the cause of Kimberly Wundrum's death. Per the Star, a police report determines that a plate with "white powder, straw, razor" were found in the townhouse, along with photographs of Irsay.
The Star report also raises the question of whether Irsay purchased the townhouse given to Wundrum with money flowing from Irsay's ownership of the Colts. Because he's the sole owner of the team, the decision to divert funds for personal use won't be a problem — unless, of course, charges incurred for personal endeavors were reflected as business expenses.
Irsay reportedly had $29,000 in his possession when arrested, with the cash in a briefcase, his wallet, and laundry bags. That dynamic has not yet been explained by Irsay or the Colts, and it hasn't received the scrutiny from the media that perhaps it should.
Damn, only $29,000? And laundry bags? He needs some Pimp lessons.

QuoteRams defensive end Michael Sam is getting a reality show.
The Oprah Winfrey Network announced today that it is working with Sam on a reality TV project that will show his life as the first openly gay player in the NFL.
"We are honored that Michael is trusting us with his private journey in this moment that has not only made history but will shape it forever," Oprah Winfrey said in a statement. "I am proud of the focus on authentic storytelling in our new documentary series format."
I don't get the feeling that this is going to go well for Sam. It is going to be hard enough as a bubble player (yes, pi) without bringing the extra distractions.
Football players really hate having cameras around.
a lot do, and especially most teams would.
He could have made a bigger statement by making the Rams and being an impact player than he would licking cake off his boyfriends face and doing a reality show. This sort of stuff screams for self attention and minimizes the goal which should be footbal. Really he's just an attention whore at this point.
Quote from: SD on May 15, 2014, 07:07:13 AM

welcome to professional sports
Attention whore is a bit much. Being the 1st openly gay player in the NFL is going to come with excessive media attention and scrutiny, not only from mainstream America, but from the LGBT community as well. Aside from trying to make an NFL roster as a 7th Rd pick, he also has the burden of trying to convince an entire country that he (every gay person, actually) is no different than anyone else. It's an unfair burden that no single person should have to endure, but I commend him for taking the challenge.
It's already tough enough to be black in this country and disprove the stereotypes that come with it, but now he's got to also disprove an entirely different set of stereotypes. If he doesn't make an NFL roster, it's just going to reinforce the mindset that gay men aren't manly enough to play football. If he does make the team as a bubble player, people will say it's because the team didn't want to deal with the backlash of cutting the gay guy.
Micheal Sam is pretty farged from here on out no matter what he does, so he might as well do what he can to get exposure and make a little extra money because he might be looking for a job in 3 months.
It seems to me Sam's biggest problem is that he apparently doesn't have some kind of advisor/mentor that has a good handle on things and only has Sam's best interests at heart. If he wants to be an activist that's fine but it seems like he's making the wrong choices. It also makes me wonder about Oprah. She must understand that this hurts his chances of making the team.

Sam's a 24 year old kid trying to make his way in a world that is often hostile to anyone perceived as different. He may have made his road to the NFL harder with the deal (not sure how the Rams - or anyother NFL team - is going to accept his reality show). Oprah probably waved a fistful of hundred, and I can't blame a poor college kids for responding to that - I probably would have been severly tempted to accept a deal of that type.
Not really my thing, but then again, neither is most the so-called "reality shows" that have been cropping up. It's mainly low-rent entertainment. But, in the end, it won't affect me at all, since I won't watch it, nor will anyone involved care what I think.
In the end, much ado about nothing.

I knew someone would go there. Jackie also lived in a totally different era that didn't involve 24 hr news, sports only networks, or twitter.
Jackie also never made the decision to be open about his color like Sam did with his sexuality. Jackie never had to hide who he was. He was never a closeted black guy. Sam actually had to make the decision to come out and tell the world who he is. Jackie handled himself with class, but I bet if there was a tv camera in his living room at the moment the Dodgers decided to bring him to the bigs, the country would have seen a whole bunch of "coonery" during the nightly news.
You're minimizing Jackie Robinson's disposition by saying he would act in a similar manner. How we carry ourselves as humans is what we should ultimately be judged on, not the color of our skin or our sexual preference. Saying "well Jackie would have acted like a typical coon too if there was 24/7 media around him" is ignorant. He conducted himself with class and chose to act like the bigger person. Sam has gotten more support than Robinson ever had. Robinson didn't just break the color barrier in baseball, he showed the rest of the world that blacks are no different than whites. Sam should be trying to set the same precedents for homosexuals. And no, I'm not saying we should all act like middle Americans.

Miles Austin and Earl Bennett signed with Cleveland
Good point by Geo on the $$$. As a guy who is going to be paid a zesty signing bonus (or in his eyes none at all if he'd gone undrafted) he took the cash. Understandable and I'd have probably done the same thing.
It's only an issue if he allows it to be one. And I think he is determined to make the team and blend in as one of the guys to be the trailblazer he set out to be. Anyone who has that ultra competitive drive should be able to push aside the outside influences and make himself a player.
If he doesn't have that drive and the desire to prove the doubters wrong then he will fade away and his story will too. If he uses this as fuel to succeed then he will not only make the team but be a good player.
I wonder if the reality show will even factor into his success or failure because I doubt he can sign over the rights for him to be filmed on team property. If the team refuses then they have to shoot non football activities. So when he's at work he's all in and not having a camera in his or his teammates space.
yeah this isn't like that nfl training camp show some entire franchise attention whores itself out for each year
or the nhl winter classic thing they do where everyone acts all flamboyant and loud and does goofy things cause they are being followed by cameras for six weeks...

it seems like 10% of the roads in virginia are named after lee
Of course, after all the stuff I said earlier - I work in Lee County (named in 1887). There have been a few calls to re-name it, but nothing that's really taken root. The old people down here are too busy getting sunburned, playing golf and hitting the early bird specials.
Lee was a genuinely remarkable man. It doesn't upset me that folks in the slave states lionize him as much as some of the other people they honor. There are, for example, two cities named after Preston Brooks (one in Florida, the other in Alabama,) who was remarkable only for his cowardice.

I always found it an interesting development that Brooks died within a year from the caning of Senator Sumner. Great example of "southern gentleman."
And I agree about Lee - his decision to leave the U.S. army and take on the mantle of the Confederacy was a hard one for him to make, and based on the principle (held by many from the "Virginia aristocracy," including Washington, Jefferson and Madison) that his first loyalty was to his state. When Virginia seceded, Lee felt bound by honor to follow his state, even though he had opposed the move.
Lee also tried to promote reconciliation after the war and supported Johnson's Reconstruction plan, which bore more resemblance to Lincoln's, as opposed to the Radical Republicans. On the surface, the Republican's plan was more about rights, but in fact was mainly based on trying to punish the south and to retain its own power base in Washington (though there were, indeed, a few "conscious Radicals" who truly believed in civil rights for the former slaves).
Once the election of 1876 was thrown into controversy (over Florida's vote totals, to the surprise of all here), the Republican party was quick to abandon both Reconstruction and the firm backin of civil rights for the freedmen, in order to retain the power of the presidency. The Democratic Party actually wouldn't get back into the White House until Cleveland's first win in 1884 (the next Democrat after Cleveland's two separate terms was Wilson in 1912).

I wouldn't think a doctor who specializes enough to prescribe a fertility drug wouldn't say it is fine when it isn't. Either that or the doc made a very stupid mistake. Also a little curious when a guy after 10+ years in the league goes all pro for the first time, and with 8 more sacks than he's ever had before.

Cowboys MLB Sean Lee was helped off the field on the first day of OTAs Tuesday.
A video of Lee being assisted off the practice field with a trainer on each arm is available at the link below. Per ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins, Lee was "swearing" after sustaining the injury, and uttered "Bleep me." Lee has been an All-Pro-caliber player when healthy through four NFL seasons, but has been on the shelf far too often. He's missed 15 games over the past two years.

Cowboys staff thinks he tore his ACL
Apparently after getting hit during what was supposed to be a noncontact drill which also doesn't look good for dallas. They definitely need remote cars instead of their players moving. I liked what the rest of the division did in the early draft, and Zach Martin is contributing earlier than anyone thought. If it's an ACL sounds like Lee is out for the year. He was their best D player and Henry Melton might have been their second, and I've read that his rehab is not going well.

Yep I'd kill to have Andre Johnson here.
"hey andre, do you want no money and to be the 7th best offensive option on the eagles"
"no"
"OK"
Your homie Howie would take him in a second.
Chip would give him a good smoothie and all is right in the world
its not about the eagles taking him....every team in the nfl would love andre johnson...its about andre johnson not wanting to be the 7th option in an offense and getting a horrible contract.
if he actively decides to take no money and catch 2 balls a game then OK. me thinks thats not happening.
He'd be caked off and coming to a SB contender
his issue seems to be the texans sucking. plus he would have huge #s here -- the offense is going to get its numbers. I think he's too old for them to target him & they just drafted two receivers, but I would still love it.
he would not be paid much of anything. the eagles have zero interest in handing out big contracts to old possession receivers that they dont want or need. if maclin, coop or matthews gets injured that tune will change.

who knows whats in his heart or head but everything Johnson has said is that he doesn't wanna be on a team that's rebuilding....as legendz referenced...he wants a title more than touches
maybe he should pick a different city if he wants a title
lol "old possession receiver"
I read that too, Jay.
Hilarious.

hell be 33 this season, which isnt young in nfl terms and especially for a WR
hes not a guy you build an offense around anymore
hes not going to an eagle. neither is brian urlacher. neither is kevin johnson.

if he wants the job, its his. but i think he wants it. he could do a lot, lot better.
I started with the premise that it's highly unlikely. I do think he's still a premier WR (he has 3000 yards the last two years) and probably wouldn't cost much to get given his age and current problems with the texans. Someone will get another 2 very good years out of him especially if it's a team close to a title.

I was joking dummy....he would automatically be the best wr on the eagles by far....can you imagine replacing kkkooper with andre Johnson?
chip would never do it tho....all he cares about is showing the world that his system can win without pimp....hes on a mission....a number 1 guy takes away from that
so you are right about one thing....its obviously not going to happen
I don't know why anyone still talks about money like that's an issue.
He already has a contract (not all that much different than what DeSean had). If a player is traded because he wants out they often don't re-do the contract, especially in the first year of the trade. But the Eagles could do something nice like like guarantee the first year without restructuring it. I wouldn't think this goes down but it wouldn't surprise me either.
It would come down to how much does he want out and what would TX want for a 2 or 3 year rental guy? Eagles would pay him about $9mil a year so it makes it hard to cough up a lot of draft material, all the more so with 2 new WR recruits. I'd give up a 2 though. Losing a step at his age won't affect his game as much as most other WRs.
One of igy's dawgs, the wife beating drug abuser Daryl Washington, suspended for the entire year on another drug fail....
Man could the Eagles use a guy like him!
smoking weed does not make you a dawg (connor barwin) nor does beating your wife (ray rice) altho you can be a dawg and do both those things

To no one's surprise, the NFL is dropping roman numerals for super bowl 50.

So Seattle and SFs defense will be getting Foles a pretty nice raise. Be interesting to see how the rest of that qb class ranks in the contracts with Wilson, Luck and Griffin.
In '07, Braylon Edwards made an extravagant promise to 100 Cleveland kids: maintain a 2.5 gpa, do some community service and graduate high school, I'll pay for your college.

Baseball games sure...games get boring and 1/2 the fans in attendance don't give two shteins about the game...but football? I've probably been to over 30 games at the Linc and the amenities are the last thing I care about. I barely get in with enough time to grab a beer before the game starts.
That's because Jacksonville has a zesty fan base and need to resort to gimmicks to get people to show up

Chiefs released Brandon Flowers. I know he had a big number, but I'm surprised they couldn't get anything for him. I'd take a look.
Isn't he like four and half feet tall. Not exactly Chipper's bread and butter, that.
Like I care. Chip doesn't look like he's lacking in the bread and butter department. Is he better than what we put on the field for much of last year? Whatever. Make the team better with some of that cap space.
I'm not arguing, just saying it would be against type.
I want the type that stops other teams from scoring TDs.
Why? I'm confused.
Whole scoreboard thing. It's complicated.
But if the other team scores then the Eagles get the ball back and Nick Foles throws seven touchdowns.
On the same drive. He is that special. Better numbers than Manning; I read that on the Internet.
chiefs released him for the exact reason russell is saying chip wouldnt want him
the nfl trends like no other league an right now the trend is toward big cornerbacks to counter the huge wr trend that started several years ago
he also wasnt showing up to offseason activities

I think PFF has value.
The problem is, football translates way worse than baseball, and even basketball, when it comes to trying to come up with advanced stats. Someone can break down the RG in one game and come up with an idea of how he did, but assigning numerical grades on things like defensive line play when the dude is just trying to be a run stuffer is much much more difficult than it is in other sports where the real question and debate with statheads is WHAT stats are most important. Here, I'm not even sure you're getting "stats" in the first place with what they're measuring.
it only sometimes works in baseball because there is no subjectivity with what is going on in the game....99% of the time the stat is the stat...so all sabermetrics is taking stats that already exist and twisting them to create a new stat...at least for offensive metrics....defensive are questionable at best....with baseball advanced stats you literally dont need to watch the game and most baseball nerds dont
on the other hand football is a mostly a subjective sport that has to be watched because of all the moving parts....stats mean very little...you don't see an all 11 film in baseball for example

Well that's what I'm saying to an extent. In baseball most (not all) of what's being measured can at least be viewed objectively (batter does X against pitcher). Other factors come in but it can be boiled down to that often. In football, it's a way more complex thing, and beginning to assign numerical value to how Evan Mathis did in a game just seems way less "provable" than in baseball and opens itself up to way more criticism. Plus you have to account for blocking schemes, extra rushers, if the C didn't pick up who he should've etc. A lot more difficult.
it doesnt work great in either sport....but its utterly worthless in football....I give it minimal credence in baseball...because like I said they are just taking normal stats like xbh and bb and hr and making up there own stuff

QuoteThe FBI Tried To Lure Joe Montana Into A Sting
In an effort to sniff out corruption across California a year ago, an FBI agent met with football legend Joe Montana under the guise of a potential investor for Montana's new hotel venture next to the new San Francisco 49ers' stadium.
Montana was reportedly unaware of the agent's real identity. Montana was never asked to do anything illegal, but also apparently did not enter into business with the agent, due to not being interested in new investors in general.
After discovering California state Sen. Leland Yee was involved in campaign corruption and gun trafficking, the FBI decided to cast a wide net to all sorts of California investments to see if anyone else was involved in financial illegalities.
Yee's attorney James Brosnahan revealed the meeting between Montana and the agent in an effort to show that the FBI was blindly groping to find more evidence against Yee, SFGate reports.
"In a sting, they have real reason to believe someone is committing a crime, but here they fanned out all over California to see who would talk to them about anything," Brosnahan said.
"Who decided to take Joe to lunch and cast a cloud on Northern California's greatest sports hero?" he continued. "Nobody was exercising any judgment about the scope of this thing."
Montana has not made any comments about the situation.

QuoteNFL general managers will have a brief break from their vacations Thursday when they have a chance to participate in the supplemental draft, John Clayton of ESPN reports.
The four-player draft will be held at 1 p.m., but there is no guarantee any of the players will be drafted. If they aren't, they become undrafted free agents and can sign with any team.
New Mexico wide receiver-running back Chase Clayton, North Carolina linebacker Darius Lipford, Virginia Lynchburg defensive tackle Lakendrick Ross and SMU running back Traylon Shead are the four players available.
The 6-foot-5, 360-pound Ross has drawn a lot of interest. He's raw, but he's strong. He benched 47 reps at 225 pounds.
holy shtein. that size/strength is eye popping.
Edit: Eagles were at his pro day. Usually sup draft players have baggage of some sort but his seems to be academic. How brilliant do you have to be to play NT in short yardage though. He's very athletic, strong and put up big numbers for the little he played against low level competition, comes from a tough background.

QuoteNFL Notes: Goodell says '15 draft down to L.A., Chicago
July 17, 2014, 11:30 pm
For the first time since 1965, New York will not host the NFL draft in 2015.
According to Sam Farmar of the Los Angeles Times, Roger Goodell told reporters on Thursday that New York was considered but ultimately was ruled out. The prospective location has been narrowed down to either Chicago or Los Angeles for next year's draft.
"We're focusing solely on Los Angeles and Chicago now," Goodell said.
The decision to drop New York from consideration was made when Radio City Music Hall, the event's usual venue, couldn't offer available dates in April or May. The draft is expected to take place either April 22-25 or April 29-May 2.
Goodell did not give a timeframe on when the league will choose between the two cities.
"We had 12 cities that were interested," Goodell said. "We felt the best thing to do was to focus on the three cities, because they had such a tremendous interest. There are very attractive aspects to each of those cities. Because we don't have the appropriate dates in May our focus is completely on Los Angeles and Chicago. They both have tremendous bids."
Though the draft has recently been a three-day event, the NFL has given thought to expanding it to four days starting next year.
It's not just that Goodell is an arrogant short-sighted shyster piece of shtein... it's that every decision he and his "team" makes these days are laughably and exactly 180 degrees opposite of correct. I mean Los Angeles? There's 32 teams that play in cities or regions that have NFL teams but L.A. is the place you've decided makes the most sense to hold a draft. And for the kicker... let's add an extra day! It's not like traditional fans are still pissed you've moved it from Sat/Sun to Thurs-Sat... nope, let's spread it out even further and broadcast it from a place that doesn't actually have, you know, NFL FANS!
Seriously... it's like they're actively trying their hardest to say farg you to the fans who made the NFL what it is today.
The draft hype has gotten out of control. When it was confined to the weekend and you could organize a couple parties around watching the draft, I liked watching the whole thing. With this new setup, I'll watch the first round but I'm not going to spend days and days watching teams I don't care about draft players I most likely won't hear from again. I have better shtein to do than that.
Quote"We felt the best thing to do was to focus on the three cities, because they had such a tremendous interest.
AKA they looked in an encyclopedia and saw those were the biggest cities that weren't New York.
maybe its just me but the amount of whining having to do with the nfl draft changes amazes me....if you dont care about non eagle picks you weren't watching the draft when it was sat/sun...don't get me wrong I miss the draft parties but most people at them didn't even care about the first round until their team was up....I had to listen to the first round over music and knuckleheads playing poker every year....
for someone who watches every last pick this new format is actually better....you get the first round in peace on thurs nite then you get two nights/day of drinking or cooking out on fri/sat....sat is especially awesome going from like 11 to 7 and getting to see a hundred picks...not that fri with rounds 2/3 isn't great too
if people wanna have a cookout you can do that anytime....people shouldn't need the draft as an excuse...like I said people were always much more excited for the party than for the draft
the main thing I don't like about the new format is having to stay up late on a work night for the first round...that's a legit concern....not missing out on a draft party....really when it comes down to it the draft is all about the picks themselves and really who cares what day of the week they are made
The longer they stretch out the draft, the less I have to pretend to care. I don't watch college football, I have no idea who any of these guys are. All I want to know is if the Eagles attempted to address any weak positions, but I want to know it as soon as possible.
Having it in LA is stupid.
It should be in an NFL city.
To be honest I am surprised they didn't have it in London.
i'm really surprised that Philadelphia isn't in final contention. oh wait....no i'm not

MOVE THE DRAFT TO SATURDAY AND IN NEW YORK!!
farg it.
You have each prospect at each position compete with their counterparts and they get rated 1-400. So each player in the top 25 at each position gets to draft the three teams they want to play on. Then, the teams openly bid for their services, each making an offer, and player chooses his team.
If you're not in the top 25, you get fist farged on stage by the guys in the top 25 because statistically you were probably not going to have a great career anyway. You get a crisp $50 bill, a cookie, and a pat on the back as soon as they stop your bleeding and you can walk off stage under your devices. Raise the cap by 50 million. Move the season up a month. You're welcome.

It's refreshing when a minority turns out to be just as much of a clueless bigot as whitey.
Dungy's a holy roller, so this really isn't much of a surprise.
He's such a sanctimonious farg, it's unbearable.
The SI article going at him was pretty well written exposing the hypocrisy of some of his stances, but they missed the most obvious one: Michael Vick. Vick was as big or bigger of a distraction than Sam for what he did, but he was a better player and came out of prison talking about God all day so not only was he not a distraction to Dungy, but Dungy promoted him. Sam is gay so he "wouldn't want to deal with that."
OK Tony.
This entire society is unbearable. Dungy is an astonishingly hypocritical idiot, but the worse part is there's millions more just like him. I read their filth every day and it depresses me to think that these iceholes are permitted to roam free spewing their superstitious bullshtein.

kill dogs, cover it up .... no problem. tony will champion your right to earn millions and call those who think otherwwise, racists.
ive seen all over the place the last two days people bringing up this dog thing with vick....like dungys stance on homosexuality somehow is connected to his support of michael vick when he got out of prison?....they are completely seperate issues
one has nothing to do with the other...if dungy had been against vick having the right to earn a living would that mean his bigoted stance against gays would be acceptable?
They're bringing it up because it helps point out how much of a douche Dungy is...it makes it obvious that it's not the "distractions" he's worried about.
^^^
The point has nothing to do with dogs and everything to do with Dungy covering up his bigotry under the guise of not wanting distractions when he championed maybe the biggest distraction of them all.
Jamaal Charles is gonna hold out.
today tony the zealot said he "doesnt agree with the lifestyle" when talking about michael sam
is that the go-to phrase for homophobes?

no hes covering up his bigotry under the guise of religion....his stance on vick could have been that he believed vick should have stayed in prison for another 5 years and it wouldnt change anything about his hatred of michael sams lifestyle...and by bringing up his hypocrisy which is completely irrelevant to his views on michael sam takes away from the important point....which is his hatred of people because they are gay...it also insinuates that if he had not supported michael vick then his current stance on michael sam would somehow be OK
I don't agree with Dungy and I breathing the same air.
He's a farging Neanderthal. farg him and everyone else who shares his third century superstitious horseshtein.
He believes sodomites are bad luck?
is anyone really surprised that dungy thinks the way he does about different types of distractions ?

mel kiper and some cat i never heard of did a top 25 nfl players 25 or under list plus 23 more players who were seriously considered:
teams with the most players
buffalo - 3
arizona - 3
indy - 2
tenn - 2
teams with no players
philly
giants
balt
jack
oakland
denver
cool. names aren't important anyway.
its espn insider so i cant post the link and the list itself is incredibly long with a write up on every player and horribly spaced out with photos and shtein so i cant copy and paste....sorry pal
That's the most useless list in the history of the nfl
fine here are the birds players that made it:
I bet you feel real good about paying money for Bleacher Report styled articles.
its not that at all....its espn insider
QuoteTop 25 Under 25
1. Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts
Most teams need quite a bit of help from their defenses and/or running games to post double-digit victory totals consistently. That is especially true for teams starting young QBs. Luck is the primary reason the Colts have been an exception: They've posted 11-5 records in each of Luck's first two seasons without a productive running back. They've done it with a defense that has ranked 28th in expected points added (EPA) during that span, ahead of only Minnesota, Oakland, Dallas and Jacksonville.
Why Luck at No. 1? He plays the most important position. He has shown he can carry a team by dropping back 41.9 times per game, the fourth-highest total in the league. While Luck has room for improvement, it's tough to find anything fundamentally wrong with his game or his approach. He entered the league as a prototype for the position. Luck is a short-timer on these types of lists, however. He turns 25 on Sept. 12.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Robert Quinn, DE, St. Louis Rams
Mel went into last season expecting Quinn to double his rookie sack total from five to 10. Quinn needed only eight games to accomplish that feat on his way to 19 sacks. There wasn't a more dominant outside rusher in the game, but Quinn also became an outstanding player against the run. The only negative to this point was a 2012 arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.
Quinn was a leading reason the Rams defeated two playoff teams in the 2013 regular season. His early sack and forced fumble on Luck facilitated Chris Long's touchdown return when the Rams upset the Colts in Indy. Later in the season, Quinn dominated New Orleans so thoroughly that Saints coach Sean Payton benched left tackle Charles Brown. One of the plays Quinn made in that game -- forcing Drew Brees to fumble after tight end Jimmy Graham chipped Quinn and guard Ben Grubbs fell on him -- ranks among the best you'll ever see.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Luke Kuechly, MLB, Carolina Panthers
The Panthers have fielded a top-five defense by major statistical measures since moving Kuechly into the starting lineup early in the 2012 season. They ranked among the six worst teams by those same measures over their previous 20 games. Carolina has done it by building around Kuechly, a three-down player and defensive signal-caller for the defending NFC South champs.
The great speed to the football Kuechly showed at Boston College has translated to the pro game. Some of the pre-draft talk centered around whether Kuechly's college stats for tackles were inflated. They were not. Kuechly was never an overachiever. He was all over the field in college and has been all over the field in the NFL.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, New York Jets
Wilkerson had 11 sacks and an interception while playing nearly 95 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps last season. Mel loved Wilkerson coming out of college and likes him as much as he likes any defensive lineman in the league, including J.J. Watt, who was second on this list last season. That's a strong opinion and one sure to meet some resistance after Wilkerson ranked 15th in Pro Football Focus grading for 3-4 defensive ends. Mel called him a nightmare for offensive linemen and someone he would consider placing as high as second on this list, right behind Luck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Patrick Peterson, CB, Arizona Cardinals
Peterson went to three Pro Bowls and was a two-time first-team Associated Press All-Pro selection before his 24th birthday. He has not been a dominant punt returner since setting records as a rookie, and his play at cornerback has yet to become consistent. You won't find a better all-around athlete, however. Peterson has all the tools to become a great defensive back, and he's already good. Peterson checks in at No. 5 because he has played well already and has the size, speed, athletic ability, recovery speed and versatility to be great over the long haul.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Tyron Smith, T, Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys needed a left tackle when they drafted Smith ninth overall in 2011. They got a good one, and should be set at the position for most of the next decade. Smith has missed just one game in three seasons. He is conservatively one of the 10 best tackles in the game (PFF had him ranked tied for seventh last season, with the recently retired Jordan Gross among those ahead of him). Smith is young enough to qualify for inclusion on this list next year, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Dontari Poe, NT, Kansas City Chiefs
The largest defensive linemen tend to come off the field regularly. They usually lack the conditioning and pass-rush ability to factor as more than situational players.
Poe defies convention. He played more snaps than any other interior defensive lineman in the league last season, and was on the field nearly 90 percent of the time on defense. He played another 11 percent on special teams. That is phenomenal staying power for a 346-pound player. Poe was productive, too, ranking 11th in PFF charting for interior defensive linemen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Lavonte David, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There will never be another Derrick Brooks in Tampa Bay, but David has a shot at becoming the next-best thing. There are certainly similarities. Both dropped in their draft classes because neither had prototypical size for the position. David has shown an ability to stay on his feet amid congestion. He flows to the ball easily, possesses great recognition skills and consistently puts himself in position to make big plays at opportune times. The one penalty against the Jets last season was a killer, but it shouldn't define him. David easily belongs near the top of this list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Alshon Jeffery, WR, Chicago Bears
Jeffery took a giant step forward last season, answering some of the questions that followed him into the league. Namely, could he separate from defenders down the field? The situation around Jeffery has also improved, putting him in position for continued success. The Bears have upgraded their offensive line. With Marc Trestman running the offense, they have gotten good production with and without Jay Cutler. Defenses always must account for Brandon Marshall, a plus for Jeffery.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Robert Griffin III, QB, Washington taterskins
Griffin drops from fifth one year ago, and it was difficult finding the right spot to place him on this list. He wasn't right physically for much of last season and he never really got it going. Organizational issues worked against him. Griffin could have done a better job in all aspects. League insiders polled for the recent "QB Tiers" analysis were particularly harsh on Griffin as a leader and as a passer. Many of them said they would have been much more positive a year earlier. The feeling here is that the truth lies somewhere in between and that Griffin has enough going for him to warrant inclusion here -- for his talent, for what he showed in 2012 (he played at a borderline MVP level) and because of the importance of his position. He does suddenly have a lot more to prove.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Aldon Smith, OLB, San Francisco 49ers
On the field, Smith has averaged a league-leading 0.98 sacks per game since entering the NFL in 2011. Off the field, the question marks keep getting bigger. Will the league suspend him entering the 2014 season? Will Smith remain a high risk for continuing personal and legal problems? Smith turns 25 on Sept. 25 and has the talent to produce a Hall of Fame-type career. That is why he ranks so high on this list, but the non-football stuff is ominous.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Sheldon Richardson, DE, New York Jets
Richardson was the Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2013, after dominating against the run while playing 80 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps. While Richardson is hardly a one-dimensional player, it was good to see ROY voters reward a player known mostly for his prowess as a run-defender. Richardson ranked second to Watt in PFF's cumulative grading for run defense by 3-4 defensive ends. He also demonstrated his athletic versatility by serving as a fullback in short-yardage situations, scoring a rushing touchdown.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Star Lotulelei, DT, Carolina Panthers
Lotulelei and fellow 2013 draft choice Kawann Short instantly upgraded the Panthers at defensive tackle, an investment that paid off for Kuechly and the other linebackers. Lotulelei ranked fifth among interior defensive linemen against the run in PFF grading. He played about 60 percent of the defensive snaps, a percentage that placed him around the top 30 at the position.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Keenan Allen, WR, San Diego Chargers
Allen often looked like a first-round pick on his college tape and played like one as a rookie third-round selection. He walked into a favorable situation featuring Philip Rivers and an offensive staff led by Mike McCoy and Ken Whisenhunt. Whisenhunt is gone, but we should expect continued solid production from Allen, who finished his rookie year with 461 third-down receiving yards, the second-highest figure in the NFL behind Anquan Boldin's 529.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. T.Y. Hilton, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Hilton seemed underrated heading into the 2012 draft, but not any longer. He was the only receiver to embarrass the Seattle Seahawks last season, going for 140 yards and two touchdowns. Hilton added 327 yards and two touchdowns in two playoff games. He's exceptionally quick and extremely difficult to handle one-on-one. Few players go from zero to 60 as quickly as Hilton. He's made big plays and has become the go-to receiver for Luck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Kenny Vaccaro, SS, New Orleans Saints
Too many players under consideration for this list are dealing with serious injuries. Vaccaro is one of them, but unlike some of the others, he's already been a full participant in offseason practices. Vaccaro enters camp as a starting safety after undergoing ankle surgery late in the 2013 season. His arrival last season played a role in the Saints' defensive improvement. He and newcomer Jairus Byrd give New Orleans one of the more capable safety tandems in the league.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17. Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay Packers
Lacy emerges as the top running back in the listings based on what he offers as a pure runner. The reigning offensive rookie of the year finished last season eighth in rushing yards, but that ranking was a little misleading. Lacy didn't get many opportunities from Week 5, but trailed only LeSean McCoy in rushing yards from that point forward. He was tied with Jamaal Charles for most rushing touchdowns (10) over that same span. Let's see what kind of progress he makes in the passing game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18. Giovani Bernard, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
Bernard was third and Lacy fifth in PFF grading for the position last season. Lacy was much higher as a rusher, but Bernard was much higher in the passing game. Both deserve prominent placement on this list. Bernard didn't get as many rushing attempts and his yards per rushing attempt crashed over the final three games. But the Bengals are talking about a renewed commitment to the ground game under new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, and that should help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. Larry Warford, G, Detroit Lions
Warford has quickly become one of the five or six best guards in the league. He was very underrated, but that will change when he signs his next contract. The pool of young guards figures to improve this season, as Jonathan Cooper returns from injury in Arizona. Unlike Cooper, who missed his rookie season, Warford has played and produced at a high level.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. Bobby Wagner, MLB, Seattle Seahawks
Alec Ogletree was another young NFC West linebacker under consideration here. He's probably more dynamic than Wagner, but Wagner has been an important player on a Super Bowl-winning team with a great defense. He has done it more consistently to this point.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21. Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland Browns
Gordon belongs in the top five on talent and production, but he could be facing a year-long suspension. Will he be in the league three years from now? His situation appears tenuous.
There is no question where Gordon stands otherwise. He has averaged 17.9 yards per reception for his career while catching passes from Brandon Weeden, Jason Campbell, Brian Hoyer and Thaddeus Lewis. None of the other receivers on this top 25 list comes within two yards of that average. He accounted for 30.5 percent of the Browns' receiving yardage last season. The other young wideouts listed here accounted for no more than 23.4 percent, which was the figure for Keenan Allen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22. Jurrell Casey, DT, Tennessee Titans
Casey collected 11 sacks as a defensive tackle with the versatility to move around. The Titans have a new defensive playbook, but they think Casey's production will continue at a high level. There are certainly better defensive tackles against the run. Inside pass-rush ability has value, however, and Casey has been a consistent producer in that area. He rarely has a bad game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Michael Floyd, WR, Arizona Cardinals
It's tempting to wonder how much longer Larry Fitzgerald will be the unquestioned best receiver in Arizona. Fitzgerald has worked so hard on all aspects of his game, and it shows in his consistency as an all-around player, including as a blocker. Floyd is just getting started, but he quickly earned quarterback Carson Palmer's trust on 50-50 balls. That trust helped Arizona win in Seattle last season as Palmer found Floyd for the winning 31-yard touchdown late in the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24. Eric Reid, FS, San Francisco 49ers
Reid ranked first in Mel's rookie rankings after picking off Aaron Rodgers and otherwise holding up reasonably well during a tough opening-week draw. He finished the season with four interceptions, returning one of them 53 yards. Reid hit a few rough spots later in the season, as rookies tend to do. The big question for Reid is whether the concussions he suffered will affect his future.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. Marcell Dareus, DT, Buffalo Bills
Dareus is a little bit like Gordon and Aldon Smith in that he'd rank much higher without all the off-field concerns raising questions about his maturity and long-term prospects. PFF graded Dareus as the sixth-best interior defensive lineman last season, giving him high marks against run and pass alike. We can all see he's a tremendous talent, and he has produced. But failing the Bills' conditioning test this week after a couple of offseason legal scrapes doesn't inspire confidence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dumbass. shouldve cold cocked a woman. now he may be out a year right ?

Jonathan Cooper made that. He hasn't played a down in the NFL. Not one. I'm not claiming someone like Fletcher Cox is going to be all-world but Fletcher Cox should be a hell of a lot closer to cracking that list than Cooper (or someone like Warmack who was underwhelming year 1, or Dwayne Allen etc etc).
So Ray Rice only gets suspended two games for beating the shtein out of his old lady. Meanwhile you can get suspended for four games for PEDs, one game for an illegal hit and a season for weed which is legal in some places.
Two games for going Tyson on your wife?
Goodell is an idiot...
[sd]"shouldn't have been suspended at all"...[/SD]
The only thing on your list that's suspension worthy is the PEDs. A dude clocking his wife and smoking weed are personal issues that the NFL has no busy policing. What other job outside he military punishes you for stuff you do in personal life?

Pretty much. At least any job worth a damn. But I do agree completely with SD in the fact that it's bogus to suspend players (or fire employees) for their personal problems or lifestyle. The entire "you represent your employer" nonsense had gone on long enough.
I do not represent my employer outside of the workplace. I represent myself and my family. I am a reflection of them, not some corporation. It's that type of mindset that has allowed corporations to be viewed as people in the first place.
I understand the need to have higher standards when it comes to certain jobs like public office, military/police/etc, but it's mostly a stupid practice and should probably be illegal.
Josh Gordon smokes a joint and is done for a year. Charlie Sheen does blow off hookers asses and gets a new show. Why? Because Hollywood don't give a shtein what people do when they aren't at work.
if players dont like being suspended for things in their personal life try to negociate it out of the next CBA. until then don't smoke pot & don't cold cock your woman on video or go try out hollywood where it doesnt matter as much.

It's a good point. Corporate mindset tries to get its tentacles more and more into people's private lives and personal time. Same thing for example with sending emails to personal addresses, especially to per hour employees, which they are expected to read on their own time, or 'expected' attendance at off hours events.
A bit off topic but since we were talking about the Ray Rice thing - I must be a bit twisted for LOL when I saw this headline. SD, is that OK?

it has nothing to do with corporations....in fact you are probably safer committing a crime working for a corporation than a small company
corporations for the most part could give a rats ass about your personal life as long as you are making money for them and they are making money in general

The leagues are also exempt from federal antitrust law. They go out of their way not to annoy the federal government on drug issues so that their exemptions are not threatened. When morality cop politicians demand that the leagues get tougher on steroids, they usually publicly muse about the extent to which the leagues are legally protected.

Incorrect.
If cops are called out for DD incidents they will lock people up. Even if the man/woman lied and said their significant other put their hands on them the cops are getting the 'cuffs out.
they will but they far too often dont....its serious problem in law enforcement circles especially in higher crime areas....cops don't take it anywhere near as serious as they should

I'm no law enforcement fanboy, but it isn't the cops that don't take DD calls seriously. It's the courts. Arrests are made all the time. Convictions are vanishingly rare.
That's because a lot of times the victim fails to follow through on pressing charges or appearing in court to testify
Sure. There are lots of reasons. Including an institutional attitude that believes that "husbands and wives just hit each other sometimes and who are we to judge them until one of them is critically injured?"
My second hand experience from people I know pretty much sum it up as guilty until proven innocent. If a woman calls, most likely you're going to take a ride. Unless they see after conversation from the woman and see whether or not she's full of shtein...they may advise the man to take off and not be anywhere near the home, regardless if he didn't hit her. It's just bad news for a man when a woman uses that tactic. Usually, the relationship has ventured from 'Beyond Repair' to the 'I'd rather cut my own dick off than be here another second'. If a guy knows what's good for him in that circumstance, he'll shut the farg up, nod to the officers, and not make contact with his family until he can come up with a plan or get legal advice.
shtein is farged up.
Pretty much.
Unfortunately all is takes is the statement "he hit/pushed/choked" me and dude is getting hooked up.
I worked with a guy while at the prison whose wife did that. Huge argument and she called the cops. He was arrested and charged. He ended up losing his job because he couldn't be in possession of a weapon and obviously carrying a weapon was part of our job.
Laws vary from state to state, but in the case of domestic assault, the alleged aggressor (man or woman) is going to go jail for the night nearly 100% of the time.
true. i'm not sure where the idea that cops just show up most times and say calm down you two and leave comes from but that's not the case.
If there's domestic violence? no, someone's getting arrested. If they're just shouting and throwing shtein around the house, generally the cop will make someone leave for the night, not arrest anyone.
yeah those are the key word(s) - domestic violence/assult.

The Eagle hate here is real. I like to mention I'm an Eagles fan to as many people as I can to provoke arguments.
I've got lots of Eagles fans around. After the Ravens, it's a tossup whether there are more skins, steelers, or Eagles fans in Baltimore.

Why are they showing the Bills/Giants game on the NFLN and not the SF/Ravens game?
Must be blacked out on NFLN there for some reason...
I have been watching it on NFLN here since kick off
i don't think it was blacked out I think its a regional thing.....philly gets the nfce giants
i think it was signal problems with nfln
cause i got the ravens
I got a Ravens too. I bought the preseason package again, though.
every single preseason game is played on nfl....unless you must see them live (which is insane) you can watch them all for free

QuoteBy next week, the NFL is expected to increase the size of practice squads from eight players to 10, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. This according to an NFL source.
Raising the size of the practice squads will provide an extra 64 jobs to players this year, and help teams groom players in ways they cannot with the absence of NFL Europe.
The idea was discussed among league executives and coaches at the owners meetings in Orlando, Florida, in March, and it will be implemented before rosters are reduced to 75 players, then 53 players, by the end of this month.
Long overdue. Next up they should allow teams to protect 3 or 4 players but I doubt the union would go for that.

nor should they....why should a team be allowed to restrict the movement of their 55th man who isnt even on their roster...if you like someone that much then play him....the restriction is already pretty severe in that a team who takes the player has to put him on their 53...anything after that is just piling on a guy who is barely surviving as is
unless perhaps you wanna attach a monetary amount equal to maybe the minimum rookie salary
i don't normally get a laugh out of a rookie being a disrespectful jackass but johnny-finger did what alot of others would like to do to the racists. :yay

Don't know what they make, but I'm sure it's more than most of us. However, being able to protect guys on the practice squad, prevents them from getting a shot anywhere in the league. Not to mention that while earning 6k per week sounds great to me, I'd still feel like a broke ass compared to my peers on the active roster.

I hate this line of thinking.
They get $6000/week for like 20 weeks a year with ZERO job security. "So, ok," you might say. "That's $120,00 to play a game!" Except that almost all practice squad players are out of the league after one year. Some stick around for two or three. These are not elite football players at the professional level. So great they get some cash and then it's off into the world where... what? What skills do they have that translate into a decent living or career? These athletic marvels who went to football factory schools and prioritized football over everything else because they were always better at it than everyone else? Sure a few of them probably took school seriously, but none of them were ever required to. Did you do things that weren't required when you were 19 or 20?
$6000/week for part-time, short-term employment that destroys your body and leads to nothing doesn't strike me as something anyone would be jumping up and down about.

I mean, it would probably be that teams protect the guys that they think will be sticking around for more than a year. Why protect a guy you don't expect to improve and make your squad next year? And don't a lot of the same guys just get shuffled around and signed to another team's practice squad?
I'd also say they're not destroying their bodies because they're not playing in the games, only going through practices that are largely non-contact. Let's not go comparing a practice squad player to the punishment LaDanian Tomlinson put his body through.
And, finally, I don't see how the ability to protect them from other teams signing them is going to change much about their circumstances. They'll still 99% of the time likely be out of the league in a year or two.
All that being said, I was just saying they do more than "barely get by". They get paid a decent salary. I don't think allowing an NFL team to protect 3 or 4 of them from being vultured by another team would change much about any of their circumstances. And, if you wanted to, you could make a rule where, if one of your protected players gets claimed by a team, you have to promote him to the 53 man squad within 4 weeks or lose him.
On top of that, just did a little googling around...$6000 is apparently the bare minimum they have to be paid. A lot of teams can (and apparently do) choose to pay them more to attract more talented players to stick around.

That's the whole point. They didn't get to be $6000/week players by sitting on their ass or even by learning the skills necessary to sit on their ass and do what we do. To project yourself and your situation onto these guys' lives is stupid.
Well, I didn't do that. Hope that wasn't part of the confusion.
If I were the NFLPA, if that were something the teams pushed for, I'd push for career training paid for by the NFL for all practice squad players.

the best one is during a hold out, "IF I REFUSED TO COME INTO WORK BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE MY PAY I'D GET FIRED!!#!#!!!#1!!"
I hear a lot of jackass football fans say shtein like that all the time. It's ignorant and willfully ignores the harsh reality of what the players face once their time as a highschool/college superstar is up.
As a side not, I used to say shtein like that all of the time. Even though I went to a football factory school and knew players and knew that none of them were adequately prepared for a non-football life. In short, I said it even though I should have known better. I was envious of the tiny chance at fame and fortune that they had. But it's all bullshtein. Schools get, what, 90 scholarships a piece? And every one of those 90 kids is going to college to make money for the university as a football player. They aren't treated like students because at the bottom line they aren't students. They're financial assets that lose all value once they leave. And how many of them will ever make a dime for themselves as a professional? Not many.
and also totally ignores the fact that athletes...even the zesty ones, can do things that like 1% of the population can do. when you have skills that give you that much exclusivity you get to be paid more than other people
Still can't understand why the NFL doesn't have a minor league football league. Each team could assign prospects and call them up in case of injury. I know they don't like competition but it would be their own product and it would give fans more football and generate more money for the league and for the owners. Seems like a win/win all around. Nobody is skipping college to play in that league.

the practice squad is already their "minor leagues"....there just isnt enough professional football talent after 61 roster slots on 32 teams to support a minor league...i mean think about it while the league was going from 26 to 32 teams the draft was going from 17 to 7 rounds and still 7th rounders are super long shots
Trust me, there are plenty of want to be college players who weren't drafted, players who were cut etc. who would fill out a roster. NFL teams bring in 90 players to camp and 1/3 of those are cut. That's an offense a defense and special teams right there.
they carry 90 so they can run their training camps without taxing the people that have a chance to make the team
and im not saying there arent guys out there that still want to play football and could fill a minor league....thats what semi pro football is...but theres absolutely no need or desire from really anyone to have an nfl minor league....i mean why would the nfl pay for a minor league and all its ancillary costs when less than 1% of the participants would ever sniff the nfl....it would be a huge money loss with absolutely zero payback for them
Added revenue. They want football 7 days a week. NFL fans want football 7 days a week. You could fill in small venues and televise the games on Tuesday/Wednesday's when nobody has anything to watch. People would watch because it's football and there might be some players on their teams worth watching. It would be much better than arena football and NFL Europe.
SD be like .... here fishy fishy.
theres a minor league starting up that actually wants to be associated with the nfl at some point.

there really wouldnt be a ton of money in a minor league nfl jawn.
minor league baseball works because its in small towns in small parks when its warm out. nobody is going to a minor league football game on a tuesday night in november. nobody. they wouldnt be able to sell enough tickets. then factor in all the salaries theyd have to pay....the travel...the gear...the practice/housing facility...it adds up to money loser despite the halfway decent tv ratings it would pull in.
getting an ncaa d1 team off the ground costs about 75 million, and a decent chunk of that is the stadium. the nfl isnt going to have an official minor league playing games in high school stadiums. its unbecoming of them.
I don't want NFL seven days a week.

QuoteNFL wants Super Bowl halftime performers to pay for the privilege
Posted by Mike Florio on August 19, 2014, 8:29 PM EDT
Getty ImagesAs it has grown and grown and grown some more, the NFL has continued to find more and more and more revenue streams.
The latest could be the Super Bowl halftime show. Currently a gig the performer plays for free in order to turn a gigantic international platform into the high profile and profits that go with it, the league now wants a cut.
According to the Wall Street Journal (via SportsBusiness Daily), the NFL has asked the three artists under consideration for the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show to "contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income" to the NFL, or to "make some other type of financial contribution." Per the report, the idea received a "chilly reception" from the representatives of Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Coldplay.
Regardless, it only takes one performer to bite the hook in order for the NFL to parlay the halftime show into even more of a moneymaker. And it's entirely possible that the league leaked the development in order to pressure one of the three to blink, given that plenty of other performers who would gladly give up a piece of a pie they otherwise don't have will now be calling the league to offer whatever the league wants for the privilege of playing to one of the biggest audiences in TV history.

The Rams seem to think Bradford tore his ACL again last night.
Media folks trying to connect the dots on a Barkley or Sanchez trade to the Rams if that is true
Also ex-Eagle Dmitri Patterson apparently had his pregame meal and did the walk through with the Jets the other night but never showed up for the game and no one has heard from him since.
If Sanchez or Barkley have any trade value adios. Barkley would be a decent pick up for them and I'd be thrilled if they could get the 4th back they spent on him.
barkley has negative trade value....sanchez prob 5th round?
Sanchez for Quinn?
@EliotShorrParks: #Eagles RT @JasonPhilCole: #Rams do want Sanchez, prob won't get him. Thinking about Mallett, really need a solid backup to Hill
sanchez for matt adams and matt carpenter
Until the Eagles can go a couple of seasons with a healthy quarterback for all 16 games, maybe they should hold on to their backup.
its not crazy to say that mark sanchez might be a better qb than nick foles....thats why i wouldnt let him go....even if you think that preposterous its not like the eagles have tom brady at the helm
I wouldn't trade him either. If you're going to deal one - deal Barkley

you hate foles but are jizzing over a guy who started playing basketball 2 seconds ago and has never had 1 complete healthy season at any level. but since scouts say hes the GREATEST EVER OMG.
as always, pre-draft hype is the most important thing ever. foles had a great season last year. theres no reason to believe he wont be a very very good qb for a long time. cant you just perhaps enjoy this?
I don't hate foles nor am I jizzin over sanchez....other than that you are totally on point
i meant embiid
and you certainly do not like foles
im fine with foles....im just not 100% in yet....I forgot if every eagle isn't the best player ever it means you don't like them
"not in" = potentially worse than mark sanchez
If you're not all aboard the Foles train after half of an amazing season, coming into this season with a lineman suspended for the first month and a whole crop of questionable wide receivers, then I don't know what to tell you.
hes started 16 games in his life....mark sanchez has been to two conf championship games....if both are healthy im sorry but its not a crazy thing to think sanchez might be better...unless you are a flaming homer which you are
Excuse me, I believe you mean a Flaming Moe.
Foles has to prove he's for real, and I can't blame anyone for not drinking the Kool-AidTM on that.
And Mark Sanchez did appear in two AFCCGs in the beginning of his career.
But right now? This is what he will be remembered for...

he must have been horrifically bad to be cut the year he was drafted
Not really...teams are more commonly carrying two QBs now. With Geno and Vick they don't need him
It was a poor fit in NY for him anyways

If Parkey flames out and Succop remains free I'd like to see him brought in
The vet minimum is killing the careers of a lot of special teams guys. It's not enough to be better than a younger player, you've gotta be worth three times the salary. When it comes to kicking, that's hard to justify for a couple percentage point difference in field goals.

Actually there's a provision in the CBA to help mitigate this. If a vet is making the minimum, only a portion of his salary counts against the cap. Depending on the number of years of service it's in the neighborhood of around 40% off. The team still pays the player full amount but for cap purposes the discount was designed specifically to help vets stay around longer by not losing their job to a younger guy, and defeat the purpose of the vet minimum.

Horseshtein rules
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/04/face-paint-now-an-nfl-uniform-code-violation/
You know, the NFL is quickly spiraling downward towards "who gives a flying farg" territory.
It's amazing that seemingly every decision or change they make is for the worst. That takes real talent, yo.
I thought they made that a rule when John Randle kept painting the Batman logo on his face.
Why do they give a farg though? Stupid shtein
Probably because Batman wasn't an official sponsor of the NFL.
Excellent point.
I wonder how much $$ it would take for someone like YouPorn to become a sponsor?
Just imagine Al Michaels announcing that the replay was sponsored by YouPorn
The YouPorn Player of the Game, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix!
I feel like he was named after a 90s Leno routine.

One of the coolest things I've ever heard of. Cheering for the Bengals from here on out...
That is cool. I won't cheer for the Bengals, but I do hope their practice squad kicks ass.
25 years old with a 4 year old daughter who has cancer....Holy Christ. Carrying a heavy load.
i think thats more marvin lewis than mike brown....brown is a cheap awful person.
lewis is a bad coach but a decent man. hes wasting a practice squad spot (which arent really important) on a bigger situation than football. good deal.
presumably the guy can contribute in practice though..it's not like he gets to just chill in the play room at the children's hospital all day. he's still got to work.
Either way, the franchise comes off looking way better than the Dolphins who fired a scout (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24576378/ex-dolphins-scout-with-sick-wife-team-fired-me-for-working-from-home) who worked from home to take care of his wife with cystic fibrosis.

I feel like there might be another side to that story and there might be a legitimate issue with having a scout who works from home, but this definitely doesn't seem right:
QuoteAccording to the letter, when the Dolphins adjusted their insurance policy in April, the only major change was that the team no longer covered cystic fibrosis medications.
I was thinking the same until I read the bit about three previous GMs had no problem with it.
Quote from: Diomedes on September 06, 2014, 01:25:24 PM

That didn't sway me because the three previous GMs were terrible.
But when there's a corporate insurance change that is pretty much targeting your specific family, that's a bit much.
So the NFLPA and the league have been negotiating over HGH. Since a new drug policy is in the works, guys like Josh Gordon, Wes Welker, and Lane Johnson who were busted under the old policy might have their suspensions lifted or at least reduced.
I oppose everything about the NFL drug policy (I don't think they should test at all), but honestly I don't understand the logic of giving those guys free passes for breaking the rules that were on the books. The NFLPA is also trying to get amphetamines reclassified as substances of abuse rather than PEDs, and I don't understand the logic of that either. Clearly many athletes use speed to enhance their performance, and have for many years.
I don't understand many things about the NFL including their policies related to drugs and how they classify and punish for violations.
I would like to see the PEDs banned though. Get the HGH testing in there and get it going.
We all like bigger faster better athletes. These athletes are all adults. Molly and weed do not enhance performance.
The NFL drug policy doesn't make any farging sense. Until it does, get rid of it all.
I picked up Gordon in every fantasy league with the exception of CF because someone is a bigger loser than me and beat me to the punch. The threshold for weed that the NFL tests for is far below what other leagues test for like the Olympics.
QuoteAmong other things, the two parties are negotiating a new threshold for the banned substance in marijuana. Currently, it's 15 nanograms per milliliter. Gordon's "A" test was 16 ng/ml, and his "B" confirmation test was 13.6, a source told cleveland.com.
According to Albert Breer of NFL Network, the sides are considering a 50 ng/ml threshold for the "A" test -- the same as Major League Baseball and the military. In the Olympics, it's 150 ng/ml.
It's awesome we're still punishing people for smoking weed.
Dallas' defense is so bad, they gave up a touchdown before they even saw the field.

NFL is about to lose its fight to save TV blackout rules (http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/09/nfl-is-about-to-lose-its-fight-to-save-tv-blackout-rules/)
QuoteThe 40-year-old federal rules that support the National Football League's TV blackout policy could finally be eliminated this month. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler today scheduled a vote for September 30 on "a proposal to get rid of the FCC's blackout rule once and for all," he wrote today.
"There is no better example of an FCC rule that has outlived its usefulness and deserves to be eliminated than our sports blackout rule," Wheeler wrote. "In 1975, the Commission enacted rules barring cable from airing a game that has been blacked out on the local television station because it was not sold out—strengthening the NFL's blackout policy. Today, the rules make no sense at all."
Pro football doesn't need the government's help to boost ticket sales, "and we at the FCC shouldn't be complicit in preventing sports fans from watching their favorite teams on TV," he continued.
Thanks, current FCC Chairman and former cable lobbyist who is doing to his best to kill the internet! I'll totally trade Netflix for people in Oakland to be able to see home games. :yay
obviously the policy is illogical but its really not needed...only a handful of games dont sell out and those that dont are awful games the local fans dont care to see.
but of course finally removing the policy is long, long overdue. hooray government.
Good.
Does this apply to MLB too?

Just realized the story from a couple weeks ago of the Bengals resigning that player to make sure he still had health benefits for his daughter was Devon Still, another Delaware kid. Played against him, pretty sure he gave one of our TE/DEs two black eyes, absolutely crushed him on a hit.

QuoteAfter the Feb. 15 incident in the casino elevator, Ravens executives -- in particular owner Steve Bisciotti, president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome -- began extensive public and private campaigns pushing for leniency for Rice on several fronts: from the judicial system in Atlantic County, where Rice faced assault charges, to commissioner Goodell, who ultimately would decide the number of games Rice would be suspended from this fall, to within their own building, where some were arguing immediately after the incident that Rice should be released.
The Ravens also consulted frequently with Rice's Philadelphia defense attorney, Michael J. Diamondstein, who in early April had obtained a copy of the inside-elevator video and told Cass: "It's f---ing horrible." Cass did not request a copy of the video from Diamondstein but instead began urging Rice's legal team to get Rice accepted into a pretrial intervention program after being told some of the program's benefits. Among them: It would keep the inside-elevator video from becoming public.

Roger needs to take a hard stance on road rage in the NFL and suspend Bironas for 1 year.

I said the same thing last night. Totally changed the game. The save the niners machine was rolling at its best last night. NFL continues to become more and more unwatchable.
what was so crazy about it was that they called a penalty on the offense...every single call these days is to help more pts get scored and then last night they call a phantom penalty against the offense
It just felt like a scam last night. I don't complain about refs but last night was so blatant that the refs were going to influence the game, it was disgusting. Small market teams have no chance. It felt like the NBA last night.
The refs control too much of the game. It's nba like now.

During the Super Bowl he allegedly punched Tate and gave him a black eye
Also had an altercation with Baldwin too
well if he punched tate because he stuck it in wilson's wifey, thats ok. actually, its pretty cool.
I have no problem with that either. You farg a married woman, you might get punched up, that's just fair.
Gotta be something more to it than that. Tate is gone, so there's no need to trade Harvin over that drama. And whatever this "altercation" is with Baldwin, so what? Harvin>>>Baldwin. I'm just not buying into Harvin being traded for something that happened 8 months ago.
I hear he hangs out with Yakuza boys. A billion dollar business just can't have that.
http://deadspin.com/report-percy-harvin-fought-teammates-checked-out-earl-1648018818?
This makes more sense.
QuoteOne final straw, a league source said, came in Sunday's 30-23 loss to Dallas when Harvin apparently balked at going back into the game in the fourth quarter. Harvin played 26 of 48 official snaps but did not play 11 of the final 17.

@Eric_Edholm: Entering tonight, there were 100 defensive holding calls in NFL. Last season there were only 181. On pace for about 256 this season.
More holding calls, more extended drives, more bullshtein yardage numbers for receivers and quarterbacks. In a few years, 6,000 yards will be the new standard for quarterbacks.

Eagles will be in London next year I bet
actually highly doubtful....jeff isnt giving up a home game (nor should he be expected to). road-game wise they are @Atlanta, Carolina
New England, NY Jets and the nfc north team they line up with
unless they fall to last place and line up with the vikings, the only team in that bunch who will give up a home game is curalina. MAYBE.
I think I read that the eagles have reps on the London committee and of the teams on the committee all but two have played there and the eagles are one
yea they havent played, im sure theyre WILLING to play, but someone else is going to have to give up a game. and like i said, they arent playing a team next year that figures to do that.
2017 they are @st lou and san diego....1 of those makes sense, though both could be in LA by then

it didnt go late...it started at 930 and was supposed to end at 1230ish
So 12:50pm is not not later than 12:30? Thanks for playing
i think it ended at like 1235 or 1240....either way this is just about the dumbest argument ever and for this place that is quite the accomplishment
Thank you and goodnight
is 3.20 (if it even kicked off at exactly 930) crazy long for a football game these days?
seems to me that most andy reid games when he was with the eagles went well past three hours...ravens bengals sunday ended at 410
nfl games, in years past, were like 3h, 5m or something.
this year because of the flags id imagine its up. andy i cant remember...chip because of all the extra plays he runs dictates a longer game. the arizona game took forever because of all the throwing and the walt anderson show in the first half.
and the lions/falcons game definitely ended around 1240 but i dont care
chips games are light years shorter than andys....ive never seen anything like an andy reid coached game...i walked out of the linc past 430 a couple of times
i really dont recall andy's game being that long....maybe at the end when he threw on every down?
you dont notice the length of games watching on tv as much as you do when you have to drive home to maryland after every game.....they were long as shtein...i think cause of all the passing in general...chips only had two games i think where he lost his mind and got crazy pass happy
6 timeouts per game being used too
2 Buc trades:
Mark Barron to the Rams for a 4th + 6th
Jon Casillas to the Patriots
Mark Barron would have been a nice upgrade over anything on the eagles
final number was 8.5 million for the 930am lions/falcons game
thats a great number for any sport...the nhl cant even dream about it. imagine if they put a real team in that timeslot. these are happening again.
Why would they waste a real team in that time slot when there's three prime time games a week?
not all primetime games are good matchups....even on paper
I'd take a Sunday morning London game every week in exchange for getting rid of Thursday Night Football. I thought it would grow on me but every year I hate it more.

definitely...i didnt watch one second of the game last sunday morn but sundy morn is a cool thing...I always envy the people on the west coast who can wake up sunday and either not have to wait long or can roll right out of bed and flick on a live sporting event....thursday nite games are never my priority....ill always favor a sixers flyers or even another really good nba game over it...it just doesn't feel right
their number one priority tho should be getting the Monday after the superbowl to be a national holiday....get rid of presidents day or mlk...the sb is more of an American thing than either of those...or move it to Saturday...the game is so big that it doesn't adhere to normal tv rules and would get just as good a rating on sat as it would sun
Games on the west coast woudln't be bad at all. For DonHo though, games are rough that early.
The obvious solution for him is to get to bed by 6 pm on Saturday.
Right on, QB...agreed.
Give us the Sunday AM game and shtein can Thursday.
I like Thursday games right now only because I can sleep in a bit on Fridays due to my work schedule that day. If I had to get up early? No.
all about you?
thursday is awful but the ratings were strong...cbs more than doubled their normal number for a thursday when they aired that god awful big bang theory and that show is insanely popular. so thursday isnt going anywhere.
Quote from: General_Failure on October 31, 2014, 02:57:56 PM
Why would they waste a real team in that time slot when there's three prime time games a week?
teams max out at 6 primetime games (5 are scheduled, leaving 1 open to be moved), plus there are limitations on how many games espn/nbc can "steal" from fox/cbs. 930 wouldnt count as primetime and it would air on cbs/fox.
so basically it would be a way to showcase a matchup that would normally be lost in the 100 mass. for example cowboys/jaguars is airing at 100 from london...if they move that farger to 930am is does a better number than fox wouldve gotten airing whatever news bullshtein they normally air, plus its 3 more hours of the nfl dominating the teevee.
like i said before i think every london game next year goes to 930, except for the ones involving west coast teams. those will stay at 100. 5 london games planned for next year, so figure 3-4 will go early, which is a good number.
I thought the five games report turned out to be bullshtein.
QuoteSome people love football so much they would play in the NFL for free. San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith is going one step further.
Smith, who is eligible to return to the 49ers this week after serving a nine-game suspension, will become one of the rare, if not the only player in league history, to pay for the privilege of playing football, according to sources.
After Smith's nine-game suspension, his salary this season will be $1.099 million, with the net after taxes being $525,000. The 49ers will take all of that from his game checks this season for money he owes due to signing bonus forfeiture, according to sources.
But what he makes this season won't be enough to cover what he owes the 49ers, so the team will take another $661,000 after this season, the sources said.
Why do so many teams take the time out rather than the 5 yard penalty for delay of game? I don't understand why you'd burn a time out in the first quarter to avoid a five yard setback, but it seems to be the consensus move.

you answered your own question....its the q1...depending on down distance score you might do what you are saying in the 3q....but first half you are looking for ways to use your timeouts
Doesn't add up to me. I'd want to hang onto my time outs for end of second half. Seems to me a timeout is more important than five yards, especially in Q1 or Q3.
in the second half, yes
in the first half, it really just depends on the situation

QuoteThe Jets and Bills Week 12 game at Ralph Wilson Stadium is still scheduled for 1 PM ET Sunday despite seven feet of snow expected in Buffalo.
Yes, that's SEVEN FEET. Buffalo has already gotten upwards of four feet of white powder, and another 1.5 to 3 feet are expected overnight Wednesday. The Bills aren't able to practice Wednesday, as the coaches and players can't all make it to the facility. The Ralph Wilson Stadium crew has removed over 220,000 tons of snow from the playing surface. We'd think the NFL will need to decide the game's status by Thursday afternoon. Nov 19 - 11:34 AM
the amazing thing about that snow is that the bands are so narrow that one street in a neighborhood can get 70 inches and then four blocks away can have a dusting
Global Warming at it again. Too bad the Bills stadium doesn't have wind turbines and solar panels.
You're right, if they did, they could turn the panels and melt the snow away, which drains to a hydroelectric plant. Brilliant

This is the worst argument against global warming. It's Buffalo and it's November. It gets cold there and they get snow. Saying a freak snow storm in one of the coldest areas of the country disproves global warming is no different than global warming supporters pointing to a record high temp in May in the Mojave Desert as proof that it does exist.
Idiots.
its wasnt even a storm per se...it was cold air floating over warm water which makes snow....its been happening since the great lakes were formed 15,000 years ago....has nothing to do with global warming altho like global warming it does have to do with science....unfortunately right wing nuts dont believe in science
True, but the arctic mass that caused this one isn't exactly an every 20 year occurrence.

Partially torn ACL and MCL for Stanton. He could feasibly be back by the divisional round, if the Cards are still alive by then.

Respect.
Cutler benched for Jimmy Clausen
I feel better about Claussen playing and beating Detroit than I do Cutler
is there anything having to do with the eagles that could happen where you didnt spin it towards the positive?
2 days ago he was hoping jay cutler would conjure up some magic...now here comes jimmy clausen to save the day
you gotta love homers
Look at this icehole putting all his hopes on an unknown quarterback.

425 cbs - pit/cin
830 nbc - atl/car
SNF is CIN/PIT
DET/GB did get flexed to 4:25 as expected
as usual i am wrong
that leaves cbs with nothing that big in week 17. nbc gets steelers, then cowboys, then either brady/manning. good living.
The rest of the flex won't be announced until after MNF, but if Denver wins and stays tied with NE for HFA, I'm assuming BUF/NE gets flexed to 4:25 to go up against OAK/DEN
Looks like SD/KC is staying at 1:00, up against CLE/BAL
im looking ahead to the playoffs....i cant see the packers not getting the 425 sunday spot in the divisional round
dallas @ gb will destroy your ratings
What a piece of shtein
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/lions--raiola-stomps-on-bear-s-ankle-205337001.html
That dude has been a dirty player for years...hopefully he gets suspended
Hopefully he gets cut and comes to the Eagles because they could use some nasty.
other than the anger issues can he cover worth a shtein ?
[Todd]
NFL's Sr VP of Programming explained they flexed CIN/PIT instead of either NFC division champ game because they took from FOX the last four years and figured it was CBS's turn
[/Todd]
then they moved car/atl to cbs....so basically they didnt care and they just wanted nbc to not have a dog game like that nfc south championship
the reasoning made a ton of sense not to take gb/det, which is why i didnt think they would. but whatever. im not a corporate suit hack who works for the nfl and im not going to molest goodell's ballsack and become peter king. SO WHAT DO I KNOW
also hes somewhat lying....they definitely want the cowboys on nbc in the wild card and not taking gb/det was the way to do it.
Who do you guys like for MVP this year?
I'd go JJ Watt simply because he stood head and shoulders above everyone else defensively this year. A complete wrecking ball in most games, and there were multiple times he completely took over games, which is nuts for a D-lineman.
No QB stands out to me. They will probably give it to Rodgers, which is a joke. Obviously he's a great QB but I watched just about all the Packer games and it didn't look like an MVP performance to me. I don't think it was one of his three best seasons. The writers just like blowing him, similar to his predecessor. Actually I think the closest to an MVP season any QB is having might be the rapist in Pittsburgh, who has terrible pass protection and who flies under the radar because a lot of his TDs are being cashed in by Le'Veon Bell. But Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Romo... they are all on a similar level this season.
This is the year for a defensive player to win it. Watt is very deserving of the award. He's had a phenomenal season.
Agreed on Rodgers...none of the QBs are worthy I think.
When do they vote? I think if Watt has another huge game Sunday he could lock it up
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on December 23, 2014, 08:32:33 PM

I doubt it. A number of them have already written that it's unthinkable to give it to anyone but a QB or RB. Why? I have no idea. Lack of original thinking among sportswriters, I guess.
The MVP in 1982 was a farging kicker. That's too much original thinking.
Sports writers are generally stubborn clowns, as evidenced by baseball HOF voters, so it's not shocking they'd turn their noses up at awarding a defensive player the honor.
He deserves it. But they'll vote Rodgers. Or maybe even Peyton.
@DTGoteraKHOU: J.J. Watt in 2014: 17.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 47 QB hits, 10 passes defensed, 3 forced fumbles, 5 fumble recoveries, blocked EP & 5 TD
I mean...goddamn
Just for shteins and giggles...did the Eagles pass him up when he was drafted?
I saw exactly one houston game this year and Jordan mattews was laughing his ass off at jj watt for being out of shape.....wouldn't get my vote
Yeah I'm gonna say Matthews was wrong on that one

2011 draft
Nope. They took a certain fellow whose favorite movie is probably Backdraft
I just re-read the Eagles 2011 Draft. I threw up twice.
Only twice?
Wait until the dry heaves come...taste so good
How is this franchise lucky enough to get talent like Westbrook and McCoy? Yet, how cursed are they that they land on the Eagles and go nowhere?

They can go cry to Gale Sayers, Floyd Little, Earl Campbell, OJ Simpson, and Barry Sanders. OJ might stab 'em. The Eagles over the last 15 years are basically a Super Bowl team compared to the shtein piles surrounding those guys their whole careers.
LOL. that makes me feel better. I'm so isolated in my Eagles-only world that I need to be reminded sometimes that there are less fortunate beings.
if the texans make the playoffs you can make a case for watt
otherwise pick:
rodgers
wilson
brady
id actual go wilson because his WR core is terrible....lynch is a beast of course but without wilson making plays with his feet and his 3-5 insane throws a game they wouldnt score any points whatsoever
put the ultimate average qb--kyle orton--on all 3 teams. the packers would have about 9 wins now. NE would have 10. seattle would have maybe 6.
Josh Gordon suspended by the Browns for a violation of team rules
I'd love for the birds to make a play for him but who are we kidding
They'd get him and he'd be suspended for life.

gordon is bad crazy....i woudnt want him anywhere near my work environment
i really hope it was for smoking weed.
Gordon missed the team walk-through. The bad thing is he lost an accrued season because of the suspension. So he'll be a restricted free agent after next season and not an unrestricted FA. Sucks for him because he'll lose out on millions because of this nonsense.
Manziel was late for the walk-through even though he wasn't playing this week.
looks like harbs is going to michigan
when was the last time a successful nfl coach went back down to college? this dude must really be an all time control freak.
His alma mater and $48M will make it an easy choice
he has plenty of money and can get plenty of money in the nfl
the alma mater thing perhaps counts...but really this is all about a control freaking egomaniac going somewhere where he could be a dictator....he missed bossing around teenage negroes, plain and simple.
Maybe the path opens for Kap? Please gods?
Hopefully. Coming off a down year so do they cut bait? Does the new HC want his own guy?
Also opens up Fangio for DC

The Cleveland shtein is still going strong
Gilbert gets ripped by his veteran teammates for wasting a season and gets butthurt about it. Then he joins the suspended list for being late/missing the walk thru.
That Manziel party must've been a monster
@mikefreemanNFL: Glazer: Harbaugh has not agreed to Michigan deal. In fact, Raiders strongly in play.
I'm rooting for chaos - stay in the NFL, Jim! The screeching from UM will be hilarious
all time dog playoff game....arizona @ carolina
the behind the scenes fight between nbc and fox for who gets stuck with that game is epic. EPIC. im more excited for the playoff tv schedule than i have been for a sixer game in 4 years
You need to be institutionalized
corporate suits deciding tv schedules > the entire state of texas
this is a brand new tv schedule....no precedence....im not even 1000% sure of the rules...but here goes
sat 430 espn - the dog
sat 800 nbc - steelers game
sun 100 cbs - non steelers game
sun 430 fox - cowboys/lions
sat 430 fox - seahawks
sat 800 nbc - brady
sun 100 fox - packers
sun 430 cbs - manning
packers/cowboys is a hof matchup that normally would be set up to be in the hammer 430 sunday spot....but cbs only has 1 divisional game and i cant see that not being at 430 sunday.
I think Dallas gets Saturday night
its a definite possibility, but that would result in 1 of these 2 things happening:
1) fox gets royally screwed---having to put THE DOG at 430 sunday
2) cbs gets royally screwed---having only 1 divisional round game and having that be at 100 sunday, not 430
the way i drew it up is fairly even for everybody....but im always wrong
Lil guy right on the Cards and Panthers
Saturday afternoon on ESPN
Steelers and Colts or Steelers and Ravens Saturday night
i was right on everything except i had the saturday divisional teams swapped....to be fair i didnt know nbc was airing a 430 game, i assumed they would go primetime. but it makes sense for fox to get the 800 spot, in actuality.
this is the best ive ever done on these predictions. cloud nine.
If Carolina tales care of Arizona, I could see Dallas getting to the NFC title game if Rodgers is still gimpy. Hate to say it, but I think Dallas beats Detroit, and they are great on the road. Could see them beating the Packers in GB if Rodgers is limping around like he was today. Don't think they'd beat Seattle in a rematch though. That team is on fire right now. Got em repeating.
I just want Dallas humiliated whether it's against Detroit or Green Bay
Both teams present problems for Dallas defensively.
cowboy/steelers super bowl would be epic
EPIC
Seattle vs New England would be epic-er
nothing would be bigger than cowboys steelers
top 2 franchises in the game...top 5 in all of sports....4th or 5th time theyd meet in the bowl....it dont get bigger than that
would also be a closer game....I think seattle would do to new England basically what they did to Denver last year....maybe not quite to that extent but that's a 2-3 td game I think
Idzik and Rex out in NY
Mike Smith will be out
Trestman will likely be out
Wonder if Dimitrof gets axed?
Keeping up...
Harbaugh obviously gone in SF (dumb move on their part)
Rex out in NY
Idzik out in NY
Mike Smith out in ATL
Phil Emery out in CHI
Trestman out in CHI
Kyle Orton is retiring
I think that Harbaugh, Ryan, and Smith (in that order of quality) can all coach successfully at the NFL level, and they will all be coaching again at some point. Maybe Smith will only be a DC.
As for the other guy, is the CFL hiring?
Rex could be the guy in ATL
Ben Tate signed with Pittsburgh

agree on harbs and sexy....but smith is clueless
Smith is terrible at clock management and other in-game decisions but he did a lot with a troubled franchise. Sucked balls in the playoffs and that's why he is gone. Like I said, his next stop is probably being a DC somewhere.
oh I thought you meant being a head coach again....obviously those three will at some point will get a coordinator job again if they want.....shtein so will tressman...his offensive mind will still be respected and his Chicago failure easily explained away by two words - jay cutler
Trestman would be perfect in Jacksonville. They canned their OC and Trestman is typically great with young QB's like Bortles.
Doug Marrone opted out of his deal
Bills need a new HC now
I think he's going to rue the day he did that. Pegula is going to spend a goddamn king's ransom to make that team a winner. I guess coaching the Jets is more of a "glory" job than the Bills, but the Bills have a nice roster whereas the Jets are a dumpster fire.
Oh well...
Apparently he asked for an extension and Pegula said no. He then asked for extensions for the assistants and was again told no.
pegula wants his guy in there....totally understandable
that team is a good qb away from being legit. they went what...9-7 with god awful ej manuel and the rp in vorp kyle orton? come on.
Pegula spends more on cigars each year than he did on Marrone. I'm hearing Frank Reich but I can't imagine he's the answer to anyone's wet dream in Buffalo.
That team is/was a QB away from being fairly incredible. Not that a QB seemed to be imminent, but now things seem to be progressing in more of a typical Buffalo train wreck manner.
if the eagles can improve their qb situation (doubtful), foles would be about the best buffalo could expect, considering they dont have a 1st this year because of the watkins trade
I just texted my buddy who's a Buffalo die-hard about this and his response was just about what you'd expect:
"Yeah, good riddance..."
Haha... Bills fans are even more cynical and rage-filled than we are.
1. the last time the bills made the playoffs was 1999, i.e. the music city miracle
2. they live, or have lived, in buffalo
i do not blame them

Cutler is probably their best option (if he even is an option, depending on what happens with the coach and GM situation in Chicago), which is not a good place to be.
I'm tempted to say just let EJ Manuel get another year under center, cause it's not like he's significantly worse than their other options. But Manuel is so brutal that maybe he actually is significantly worse.
manuel is so bad they signed kyle orton off the street and 3 weeks later he was starting
cutler is what he is....but all in all he's a decent qbs. you dont let those go. he's not worth what they paid him, but you cant let him go and expect to find someone better. the bears have to roll the dice with jay and hope that, at some point, he stops acting like a spoiled prep school villain.
remember they made the nfccg with him...then he "got hurt." the past 2 years were under some coach they plucked from canada. a decent HC/OC can turn that thing around, easy.
when did doug marrone become vince lombardi
