ILNFL 2015 Preseason and Predictions thread

Seems reports that RG3 is out as the starter in Washington and his time on the club might be getting short. I got to figure Jay Gruden won't make it through the season unless they surprise and win some games.

i like charlie pierce's writing about politics and sports alike generally and this is a good rundown of the dumpster fire the washington hatcats have become, but this one graph was like uhhhhhhh wait a second

Again, I say, why are Roger Goodell and all his minions wasting so much time trying to hang Tom Brady by his thumbs over something as inconsequential as air? One of his teams is turning into a gang fight, and over the one serious issue that the league has bungled for almost its entire existence. That’s the real dent in The Shield.

bro i think u just answered your own question, like it's right there

(not to mention that irrespective of the truth, untruth or in-between of whatever happened in deflategate or whether we should care, even the smartest boston writers still remain incredulous that anyone could ever accuse touchdown tom of anything, as if there were existing laws in effect mandating that such accusers would be immediately, publicly flogged)

Judge is going to come back and say that Tom can play in the first 4 games, but he has to quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars in those games

that'd be hilarious bc he'd get sacked literally every snap, I think spiralli and CAD might crawl into a windowless room and scream obscenities for four consecutive weekends if that happened

I drafted Brady as my QB2 in FAntasy behind Brees on the hopes he's not suspended for 4!

This is pretty hagiographic for a Taibbi piece, but it's hard not to love Luck:

quick look reveals "Just 25 years old, he's the NFL's most complete QB" which is not how i imagined finding out that a-rog has retired. i am curious what taibbi has to say tho despite my general antipathy.

i cannot work up the interest to care abt luck

Can A-Rog do this?
