I'm sick of the Ravens playing the Bengals week 17 in Cincinnati. 2011/12/13/15/16

If I could change one thing about NFL scheduling it would be ending Thursday Night Football. No question about it. The games are often terrible.

I'd keep the week 1 Thursday game because I like the tradition of having the Super Bowl champion opening the next season on their own. And of course I'd keep the Thanksgiving games (including the Thanksgiving Night games). But the rest of it can kick rocks.

Cuz Rams moved up by 7 more picks than Eagles

The Rams could have traded with the Browns for less the Titans werent getting a QB

Good point. Maybe Cleveland wouldn't move that far down?

But then the Eagles or another team would have traded with the Titans probably.

If the Rams didn't give a shit who they wanted between Goff or Wentz, trading to #2 makes sense. But it's clear they have a preference.

Also, the Chargers are now fielding calls for the #3 overall pick. This is great.

Same, can we put it off and make it a bigger deal in Week 7 or 8 instead of blowing through the match up.

2011 was boss. Didn't play Dallas until Week 13 (JPP's blocked FG) and then the rematch a few weeks later to decide the division.

I miss 2011. Can it come back?

Denver taking a look at Hoyer The Destroyer.


And the quarterback carousel continues.

Josh Norman to the Redskins 5 years 75 million

ugh I fucking knew he was going to wind up in the NFC East

Also recently agreed to a civil settlement with his former girlfriend in regards to the same incident and got a restraining order placed on him till early 2018.

Lost at least 4 sponsors within a week with Nike and Panini dropping him and another two no longer going to promote him for their stuff.

Welp, Deflategate is back.

Brady's 4 game suspension has been reinstated by appeals court.

How is deflategate still a thing? Seriously. What in the fuck.

It's stupid and so is anybody who thinks Brady actually cheated.

But at this point I can't help but just laugh at Brady/the situation in general.

Pats will probably win the Super Bowl anyway.

had to go ahead and post the Nelson Muntz HA HA pic on my Facebook simply to be a prick to my Pats fan friends who are going into full on rage mode

I get that Brady's suspension is big news but do they really have to spend hours on every fucking sports channel about it? Hours and hours of people saying the same god damned thing. I just want to see Mets and Islanders highlights please.

Shit.

Because this completly changes the entire NFL season. There is no team now in the AFC to be the clear favorites to win the regular season. Pats may even mods the playoffs depending on how bad they are without Brady and how good the Jets or Bills can become.

lol the Patriots are not going to miss the fucking playoffs. come on.

Even if they get off to a slow start they're going to win their division for the millionth year in a row and probably get a bye again. They've gotten off with slow starts WITH Brady and it hasn't mattered.

Ya but the Jets and Bills have the ability to win 10 games this season.

Seems like the stuff with the cellphone ended up being the deciding factor even though one of the judges who ruled against Brady felt the NFL punishment was a bit unfair on paper.

Then again same judge said the whole case was just about if Goodell was allowed to punish Brady and couldn't rule against it without causing legal issues with the CBA itself.

According to ESPN, Sam Bradford wants out of Philly after the team traded up to get the #2 pick in the draft for a new QB. Supposedly felt insulted the team didn't inform him beforehand of what they were doing with the draft picks and their plans for the draft which he thinks is them trying to replace him as fast as possible as the starter.

Already told the team he's going to hold out on doing any offseason programs and/or camps until a trade is made.

:D

Mike Tirico defects from ESPN to NBC.

Someone new will being joining Gruden in the booth for MNF this season.

Trent Richardson dropped 22lbs from 240 to 218 which was lighter than his college days. Might be a huge under the radar move

Trent's problem is he can't find a hole to save his life. He did play behind some shitty ass lines though with Cleveland and Indy. He may be a decent second back.

According to the Denver Post, Broncos tried to make a trade for Sam Bradford once the news of him wanting out of Philly became public. Biggest problem is Eagles are asking for way too much for any potential deals.

49ers also rumored to be interested in Bradford but Chip Kelly is on the Eagles shit list at the moment so no deals would be considered.

Broncos should have held off until after the draft, probably could have gotten Bradford at a lower price after the Eagles picked whichever QB is not #1.

Still won't fix the QB situation even if he do get him. :lol:

In other news, JaMarcus Russell has resurfaced. Trying to mount another comeback in the NFL. He's sent letter to most of the teams, even would take a job in the front office. Hell, he'll work for free at this point.

Haha hopen someone signs him to the practice squad for 0 dollars. Would be amazing. Isn't he rich due to his insane rookie contract anyhow? Seems like he just wants to play for the love of the game. He should go to the CFL.

Curious to see how losing that weight is gonna help him find giant, gaping holes in the defense and not run directly into his linemen like he prefers to do.

Maybe they need to make helmets wider so they can see more of the spectrum?

Raiders currently considering Nevada as an option for relocation.

Also still considering a move to LA with the Rams if the Chargers opt out although the terms the NFL gave them includes holding out on making a real decision till early 2018 which is too long of a wait for the Raiders. Chargers have till January 2017 to make a decision but can extend it till January 2018 if a city referendum isn't passed later this year.

To help out the Raiders, NFL recently dropped the unwritten rule against teams moving to Las Vegas due to its gambling reputation.

Philadelphia is a leading contender to host the 2017 draft. I wonder how many draftees will be pelted with batteries.

Yeah lol what if his eyes are too wide apart and the helmet obstructs his view

Raiders owner Mark Davis willing to put up $500 mil. to move the team to Las Vegas. $200 mil. of that money will be an NFL loan.

The more I hear about it, the more I think this is gonna happen.

Only way the Raiders would even bother consider staying in Oakland is if the city suddenly drops the rent spike and/or someone else takes over as a major sponsor.

Raiders pretty much hoping Chargers make their official announcement as soon as possible so they can grab LA or Vegas before the rent spike happens.

Sooooooo, anybody even remotely interested in the Draft tonight?

Not since they made a big spectacle of it.

I don't watch college so nope.

Just want to hear how loud loud Baddell gets booed.

and were Goff to the races.

I can't imagine being an Eagles fan..Wentz has bust written on his forehead practically

oh thank fuck Dallas passed on Ramsey

Jags won't. :)

Not really although mostly because Pats don't have a 1st rd pick and wasn't interested in the QB draft hype this year.

That and rather watch the Celtics playoff game happening during the same time.

I like the Elliott pick. Now need to focus on the defense.

Eh. Feel like Ramsey was the better option there. Not sure how I feel about taking a RB so high. Even if he does have a shitload of potential.

Ravens probably take Tunsil instead of Stanley if he didn't tweet a pick smoking 10 minutes before the draft

Well at least the Cowboys games should be exciting. Wanted Ramsey tho

Lol Eli Apple. I like our Elliot pick better

Laremy Tunsil is this year's prospect with problems. Rappaport says someone hacked his twitter account and posted a vid of him smoking pot with a gas mask on. And now he's in freefall.

Fire Jerry Reese now. That's a fucking abysmal pick at #10.

Can someone tell me if the person the Colts pick is any good?

Linemen from Alabama so he's pretty good.

Hell ya. Alabama is always the top team. Winner winner chicken dinner.

:lol: at the crowd during the draft.

Booed Goodell when he's about to make the Broncos pick announcement, cheered when it was a Make A Wish kid instead, and then went right back to booing Goodell once the kid was done.

Tunsil. Xoxoxoxo

Paxton Lynch will be better than Goff and Wentz

Reading the takes from all of the Giants' beat guys. It just sounds like they were flat out unprepared for the possibility of Floyd and Conklin both being gone. I mean, I get it. The Tunsil thing completely threw their plans out of whack. Tunsil would have definitely gone to Baltimore had he not screwed up (they've come out and said Stanley was always ahead of Tunsil on their boards, but I'll bet that's bollocks. Every team says that) and the Titans were said to have Stanley on their board ahead of Conklin, so if they had traded up it'd have probably been for Stanley.

Weird set of circumstances but still no excuse to not have a real plan C. Even though I've shat on the pick I of course hope Apple plays well and makes me feel like an idiot but he still just seems like way too much of a developmental pick to take in the top 10.

Here's hoping the Giants can actually get some value out of their mid round picks this year.

Broncos get their guy in Paxton Lynch. I feel much better now.

Now he's gotta win the job from Sanchize.

I don't know anything about Ronnie Stanley, but this means Eugene Monroe is gone so that's a plus!

WTF @ nobody taking Connor Cook in Round 1?!:wtf::eek: Dude will definitely be worth it for whomever he goes to.

Browns could take him first pick tonight and he'll be the 32nd pick.

If Jack is healthy, the Jags have already won the 2016 NFL Draft.

Sterling Shepard. Guess it's good to get another slot option as I have zero faith in Cruz staying healthy.

Monroe isnt going anywhere though

Pats have the next two picks. Wonder if they will have two special presenters or just one announcing both.

Hmm Pats traded the 2nd pick to Saints. Not sure for what.

Cyrus Jones, CB Alabama.

Probably would have went with a RB instead of a CB if the goal was to trade away the other 2nd Round pick for the Pats.

At least the guy they grabbed was one of their top targets for the draft according to ESPN's Pats reporter on Twitter.

Also :lol: at ESPN for completely ignoring who the Pats drafted on Twitter. Announced the Bucs pick at 59, didn't bother with the Pats pick, then announced the Saints pick at 61.

Pats probably decided to just have the pick be announced and not have a big deal with Gooddell being on stage.

:lol: ESPN did it again with the Pats pick in the 3rd.

Pats picking a guard was a bit odd considering their main needs although they do need some big fixes for the O-line

Well, it was Kevin Faulk with a Brady jersey for the 2nd round. :D ESPN should be expelled from New England.

Welp, that predivtion failed, and STILL nobody's taken him. What in the actual FUCK of actual fucks is going on here?! Do all these teams hate winning all of a sudden?!

Pats pick up a QB. Interesting.

Seahawks didn't take Cook either and now the LOLions are up. God help us all if THEY take him...

LOL, go figure they take a U of M guy.

Yeah have a feeling the Cowboys pick him with their first pick tomorrow if he's still available.

As long as he ends up somewhere and not as a free agent. Be a shame to see all his talent go to waste.

I've been wondering if maybe everybody's just turned off/slightly wary of him because of the thorough 38-0 drubbing MSU took at the hands of Alabama in the playoff semi.

That defense in Jax. <3

Hoping Denver picks up some good pieces on the final day today.

The Australian footballer they grabbed at 63 bothers me a bit. Don't know what Elway sees in him.

Raiders traded up in front of Cowboys and selected him with the 100th pick.

Would like to see Dallas select WR Pharoh Cooper out of South Carolina with their next 4th round selection.

Wonder who the Pats would have drafted in the first round if they didn't lose it. Probably would have traded for more 2, 3 and 4s. Which they got alot back for trading the 2 they got from Arizona.

Damn it, Rams just selected Cooper.

NFL Draft says Pats have gotten all of their needs met except for a RB. They don't have a pick until 6th and 7th rounds now.

Cowboys got Dak Prescott out of Mississippi State. Think he's a great pick to set and learn for a few years. Don't believe he's Romos replacement though as I could see them picking a QB in drafts to come. Don't have any picks until the 6th round where they have 4.

Probably Seattle's OT or one of the DTs picked by the Cards and Panthers taken in the 1st Round.

Giants just wrapped up their draft in the sixth round. Some quick thoughts:

Round 1: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State: I thought it was a big reach to take him tenth and I stand by that. That being said, the Giants were met with the worst case scenario with teams jumping in front of them to take their top two targets, and apparently they asked too much to move back. You do need three quality CBs in today's NFL, and he'll slot in on the nickel position this year so hopefully his weaknesses can be masked there early on.

Round 2: Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma: Really like this pick. His best fit does seem to be the slot, which is good because you have to view anything they get out of Cruz this year as a bonus. If both guys compete for playing time, it's a good problem to have. Sprinkle in Dwayne Harris who contributed way more in the passing game than I ever would have expected last year and they might have themselves a nice crop of receivers not named OBJ for Eli to throw to.

Round 3: Darian Thompson, S, Boise State: Said it last night but he could very well be their starting FS in Week 1. Landon Collins badly needs to be switched to the strong side, and drafting Thompson might give them the opportunity to do that. And he was getting mid-second round grades on a lot of boards.

Round 4: B.J. Goodson, LB, Clemson: The word on him seems to be that he's sound against the run but poor against the pass. Sounds like every LB Reese has brought in the last few years. But he plays inside and anybody has to be better than Uani 'Unga. He could be another Week 1 starter.

Round 5: Paul Perkins, RB, UCLA: Reading up on him it sounds like he might be a steal. Rashad Jennings looked good late last year but is 31 years old, so I understand bringing in some help. If he gets Andre Williams off the roster then I'm totally happy with this move.

Round 6: Jerrell Adams, TE, South Carolina: This guy is built like a power forward. The only consistency the Giants have had at TE the past few years was Larry Donnell dropping 25 passes a game, so maybe Adams can change that and be a legitimate weapon.

I'm shocked the Giants didn't get a lineman considering that the right side is still a big question mark with a human turnstile like Marshall Newhouse slated to start at RT, but clearly they just weren't all that sold on anybody except for Conklin this year. I think Apple may be the one I have the biggest issues with, actually. Everybody else seems like they could be at least good value. Aside from 2007 Reese has been flat out awful drafting outside of the first round so hopefully the class of 2016 can change that trend.

No runningback for the Pats in the draft. Do they think Deon Lewis and Blount will be able to bounce back from the injuries? Strange.

Looks like a solid draft by the Broncos. Grabbed a quarterback and runningback, defense the rest of the way.

Hoyer The Destroyer goes to Chicago on a 1-year deal to be Jay Cutler's backup.

Ridiculous that it took until the 100th pick for Cook to finally be drafted, but I guess better late than never.

Judging from Mayor Goodman has been saying, unless some big snafu comes up, it's a given the Raiders are moving to Vegas.
