Dez Bryant managed to lose about $850,000 in under a week after a couple of lawsuits and debt payments during a time when the NFLPA kept sending reminders for everyone to save their money and be wise with it.

He's been soo horrible with his money that he already hired a debt manager or accountant to make sure he doesn't go broke before the next NFL season is possible.

Freaking idiot

:nono:

Even the Fridge has money problems..

:(

<font color=goldenrod>Barring Ingram falling, I can't see the Giants not taking an offensive lineman. Pouncey or Castanzo would be ideal.</font>

Mark Ingram is not worth a first rounder, IMO. I wouldn't waste a pick on a running back in the first round, and probably not even in the second unless I really needed one. RBs are a dime a dozen, and most teams have 2 or 3 guys who can carry the load. It's not like the pre-2000's when teams ran on first and second down majority of the time. So Unless you plan on drafting a guy to run the ball 300 plus times, a first rounder just isnt worth it anymore. In fact it may be years before we see another RB takin in the top 10, barring someone special like an AP is avaliable.

Peyton Hillis vs Mike Vick for the madden Cover

I think a white dude's gonna make the cover.

Its that time of year when Droford (correctly) predicts the Ravens 2011 Season ridiculously early (especially this year..)

11-5 at a minimum, and thats losing all the big games. Ravens have played well in/vs SD lately so I'll give them that win, 1 win vs Pittsburgh, and since its in Baltimore I'll give them the Jets game. 14-2! Awesome. AFC South/NFC West games are all winable with the exception of the Colts game.

FINALLY THANKSGIVING NFL HAS COME TO BALTIMORE..HARBAUGH BOWL 2011

The Jets have Dallas at home to open on Sunday Night Football. New York vs America's Team on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, they sure know how to market these things. Should be an epic night.

For once the Jets don't have to play the Patriots at home in one of the first 2 weeks of the season. Jets vs Giants on Christmas Eve will be awesome. Dolphins away on New Year's Day will be fun. Hosting San Diego and a road game at Baltimore are intriguing. Really exciting schedule. I'm also glad they're playing the Raiders away in week 3, will seriously be looking to plan a weekend in the Bay Area for that.

Im just glad you've realized that the Ravens are the Colts bitch.

I'll definitely be at the colts steelers game this year. Me and coworker have been waiting for the date to be released

Jon Gruden's QB one on one's are awesome.

Saints opening the season for the third time in 5 years..

<font color=goldenrod>God dammit NFL. 3rd year in a row that the Giants have a heavily backloaded schedule.

Giants open in Washington on 9/11. One NY team vs. "America's Team" (my ass) and the other NY team vs. the nation's capital team. Given what day and anniversary it is I'm sure those were planned by design.

I too am pumped about the Giants/Jets Christmas Eve Game. Many people in the NY market aren't, though. I can sorta understand why. A lot of people may flat out not be able to go, plus the media world practically shuts down the week before Christmas so it won't get as much hype as it could have.</font>

...It's the 10th Anniversary of 9/11...should've just had the Jets play the Giants on 9/11 to kick off the season.

Might be going to St. Louis for the Colts/Rams pre-season opener.

I def want to go to the Saints/Falcunts Monday Night Football game the day after x-mas..

That's the one I'm shooting for..

Brandon Marshall stabbed by his wife but in stable condition.

Due to the strict lockout rules, Miami coaches can't even call him to see how he's doing or if they might need to get another WR. Only team doctors can talk to Marshall's doctors and then relay the information to the team.

I saw that on SportsCenter this morning..

Didn't hear about the coaches/team doctor shit though..

Kinda fucked up..

probably a good reason to not marry a girl you've been arrested for beating up like 15 times

Just the other day, when Goodell called Ochocinco just to talk, league lawyers were asked why he could talk to players and coaches couldn't. Turns out teams can talk to players, as long as its not business related. Whether coaches know this or not isn't known. NFL has no way to prove whats a personal or a business call, making this shit all the more ridiculous

It's like prowrestling, they are making the rules up as they go along..

Holy crap! Brandon Marshall's wife stabbed him with a kitchen knife and was arrested. Marshall apparently will fully recover.

She was released on bail.

I was optimistic on a couple, so it's 9-7. But I would expect 7-9 or 8-8 just as much.

Judge rules in favor of players and lifts the lockout.

Of course, not all clear yet. League will def request a stay and appeal

New Bills uni leaked in Madden 12 video. Looks great, love the Bills retro unis so a modern version of those should be the sex. Bit too 'Patrioty' in that pic though, maybe it looks darker than it will be. Should have gone with the all-red Buffalo on the white helmet.

Peyton Hillis is your Madden 2012 coverboy.

And a big "Fuck You" to Josh McDaniels from all the Broncos fans.

:foc:

Well, from you anyways

I miss Peyton Hillis.

Peyton was awesome an all, but RBs are so replaceable nowadays that's it hard for me to really care

also he didn't practice hard at all when he was here

NFL is getting into some serious shit by constantly refusing to do as the Judge has ordered. She says the offseason was to start immediately and they insist on putting it off to a time of their convenience. Then they ask her to clarify, she does and they still ignore it. Contempt of court is some serious shit.

Or as Florio puts it...

As deep of shit as the NFL is getting into now with the players pretty much owning their asses AND a possible contempt of court charge, think Goodell's ass my be on the line soon?

The NFL has lost every case dealing with the players in court with something around 0-4 or 0-5 record regardless of the judge.

The NFL really doesn't want the players to earn any extra cash even if it means loosing money and fan support in both the short and long term. They even tried weeks ago to lock away $2 billion from the $9 billion in play due to some tv or BS excuse that nobody bought.

The ironic part is the players do agree the rookie pay scale is out of control and needs to be fixed but they need a new CBA to do it.

The rookie pay scale problem could be eased if NCAA would allow some sort of compensation for their players. They make so much money off of those players with the dream that they could one day be on an NFL team.

When you get a rookie you aren't only paying for the years he will be playing for your team. You are paying for the four years they busted their ass for NO pay.

The problem stems from the NCAA and i don't think a new CBA will be able to fully fix the problem. No other professional sport kisses the ass of the college ranks than the NFL. At every game you are told what college the players went to and you don't really get that with the other sports.

Yeah, that's why Denver's had such an easy time finding a reliable running back after Clinton Portis left. They're all replaceable.

DRAFT TIME.

Cowboys are penciled to take Tyron Smith. For some reason I'd rather have Castonzo, seems Smith might be injury prone and more of a bust factor. So we'll seeee

<font color=goldenrod>Good to see they're doing the same thing they do every year where they show every player talking on the phone 5 minutes before they're picked, killing all suspense.</font>

If Panthers fans thought Claussen was a bust, OH BOY JUST YOU WAIT

THE DENVER BRONCOS ARE ON THE CLOCK!

Or have been. This will make or break John Fox right now.

Even though I also hate the phone call shot before the pick is announced, that was a great shot of Von Miller. Love that passion, baby.

I can live with Von Miller. Would have loved Patrick Peterson.

Miller was the one I hoped they would pick.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah Panthers are gonna have QB problems for years to come.</font>

HERE WE GO

the most unpredictable 15 minutes in sports

the Bengals are on the clock!

Yea it'd be cool if they didn't show the phonecalls before..they should leave it as a surprise, and then show it after. Guess they just wana be "first" to know everything

<font color=goldenrod>Hope teams start taking the full 10 minutes so that I won't miss the Giants' pick when The Office comes on.</font> :shifty:

I wish one of the top CBs would still be around when the Ravens pick but I doubt it. I have no idea who they will take.

A.J. Green? I wonder how Chad Johnson feels about this?

By the time AJ Green hits the mythical 3rd year WR point, OhcoCinqoJohnson will probably be out of Cincy anyway

ochocinco Chad Ochocinco



What time does the draft start? I'm so excited. A.J. Green to the Bengals would be totally EPIC,he's a beast,safe and smart pick #please

7 hours ago

but yeah he wants Green to come so the Bengals will let him leave

WOW ..Good job espn..having some random chick reporter already spoiling the Cards pick

<font color=goldenrod>ESPN are trying way too hard to be all like "WE BROKE THE NEWS FIRST!"</font>

PRINCE AMUKAMARAAAAAAAWWDZW34YHLOIY

Wonder what Atlanta gave up? wow thats a huge jump

The Browns just raped Atlanta

The Browns get Atlanta's 1st this year, next year, this year's 2nd and 4th, and next year's 4th, too.

Wow that's a lot for a #2 receiver

<font color=goldenrod>Wow the Falcons gave up a fuckload</font>

Shocked at Panthers taking Newton due to how bad their O-Line is but they decided to give up 1-2 years worth of training him in the NFL throw style so he can scramble. Similar to the Falcons taking Vick but at least the Falcons had a much better O-Line at the time.

Also shocked Bengals didn't take a QB if Palmer really is leaving.

Too much ...maybe for A.J Green it would been worth it but not Julio Jones.

Hey Julio way to hold your shirt backwards

Bout to find out if the 49ers plan on tanking this season to get Luck

Theyve got another Palmer waiting..

Aldon Smith? Yes they want Luck next year

Word is the Bengals loved Andy Dalton and that Kaepernick kid from Nevada so they still might try to grab one of them.

I bet the Titans take Gabbert.

or not..Jake Locker..hmm..

amukamaraaaaaaa

Gabbert is still there..Cowboys should trade the pick to Minnesota!

Theres just no chance he falls to #26..but I can imagine and wish right

YESSSS Gruden flipping out on Kiper. Love it.

TRADE THE PICK LETS GOOOO

Holy shit, is Blane Gabbert going to fall to MN? That can't actually happen, can it?

Hope the Ravens draft Amukamara and then make Haruki Nakamura a starter. Greatest secondary tandem ever.

The Cowboys are going to fuck over the Redskins by trading the pick to a team that needs Gabbert.

Where's McShay hiding?

Like the VIKINGS

come on come on come on

Cowboys select some guy after using all but 20 seconds.

Redskins fans breath a sigh of relief..damnit

Oh great , an injury riddled project O-tackle -_-

That dude's a beast.

God dammit I hate this fucking Transformers commercial. So fucking annoying.

J-Ville traded up. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Redskins trade down to the Jaguars..pft

Gabbert to Jacksonville at #10 as Washington trades away the pick

Blaine Gabbert is the QB from Remember the Titans

prolly does yoga in the field while black guys stare at him

This broadcast is like actually watching Smackdown and then they tell you the results of the matches on the broadcast while the match is happening.

Garrard's time in JAX might be up..

also

Gabbert
Garrard

just change a few letter and blam!

this is not the wrestling forum

fucking fuck we were so close

I think the Ravens might have a shot at CB Jimmy Smith...hes a big guy 6-2 which will help...*crossing fingers*

I could also see them going Brandon Harris if hes there cause hes from the U, but I doubt he will.

Man they are shitting all over Gabbert.

This draft coverage is shit. No excitement..I remember one year maybe last year or the year before it was actually exciting.
