Can someone please explain to me why Melvin Gordon is holding out?
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Andrew Luck just suddenly retired.
Holy crap.
Holy crap.

How old is Brady, like 40?
He could seriously retire for two years, get himself right, come back and still be considered youngish for a franchise QB.
Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
Heard a few interesting bits of trivia today. Fitzpatrick has been named the Fins starter. He becomes the 20th starter for Miami since Marino retired. Fitzpatrick also played in 64 snaps in the preseason, the most among starting QBs. Murray was 2nd at 60 snaps.

yet again.
noone is surprised.
1st and 40
completely undisciplined team
throwing an interception in the endzone(badly, overthrown into double coverage) with 2 min left in the game. Classic bears
then that final "drive"
was I watching the wildcats or bears?
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:
Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
So the question is: would you suspend Antonio Brown?
Apparently if he is suspended game 1, his entire $30M salary can be not paid (basically suspending him for the year).
But apparently if you let him play game 1, his $30M salary then kicks in (seemingly even if you suspend him later he gets paid; not sure of the nuance here.
For me: I suspend and write him off as a total loss. It was a gamble, perhaps a good one, but this one isn’t paying off in the end. But too easy to imagine you not suspending him, guaranteeing $39M and then you have to suspend in week two or three or whatever.

Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
I can't wait to see what idiot franchise signs him and how many millions AB just gave away.
Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
You know that some team will sign him within like 3 days. Too good of a talent to not take the risk. The only thing for him is that yeah, he'll get immediately snatched up by a team, but no team will give him the kind of money he was offered by the Raiders.Alieberman wrote:I can't wait to see what idiot franchise signs him and how many millions AB just gave away.

My guess is he cost himself at least $10M this season.
Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
And the Patriots pick AB up for $15 million including a $9 million signing bonus. I figured that's the only team that could use him correctly. This is a total Bellichick move. The Steelers were trying to avoid AB ending up with the Patriots from the beginning. Total failure for the Steelers
Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
Haha only took a few hours. I'm sure AB will be perfectly sane and normal there and will catch like 14 TDS this year and lead the pats to a super bowl.84Cat wrote:And the Patriots pick AB up for $15 million including a $9 million signing bonus.

Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
98 percent chance the Patriots orchestrated his behavior to get the Raiders to release him and the league will never investigate their tampering.84Cat wrote:And the Patriots pick AB up for $15 million including a $9 million signing bonus.

Foles just went down. Out for the game. Wazzu's QB from last year is his backup. The dude with the mustache Mensheu not sure of the spelling.

Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
So you can physically threaten your GM, act like a complete douche, wire-tap your coach and then the NFL will proudly endorse you?
Am I getting that right?
And they wonder why people are turning away from the NFL.

They aren't though. There was a brief ratings dip in 2017 but then it went right back and grew even larger than before in 2018.Alieberman wrote:So you can physically threaten your GM, act like a complete douche, wire-tap your coach and then the NFL will proudly endorse you?

Re: 2019 NFL Season Thread
The Saints just gave up 75 yards in two plays to let the Texans tie the game, and then roughed the kicker on a missed extra point.
EDIT: Then they kick a 58 yarder to win
