between Steelers, Raiders, and Packers, some pretty brutal and sudden losses yesterday

lol please let Diddy, Curry and Kaep buy the Panthers.

im willing to switch my rooting allegiance (prob not emotionally possible)

theres no way the owners will let kaep within 100 yards of a team tho

first order of business: change name to the Carolina Black Panthers

vibranium helmets finally solve the concussion problems

the funniest thing abt diddys pitch is his implication that hes gonna bench cam, tho tbf im not sure if he thought that part through or even follows the nfl at all

This picture was taken back in 2003. This is God’s work. It’s time!!

ATTN all @NFL owners, it’s time for diversity!! It’s time for Black ownership!!

The time is now. Let’s make it happen!! pic.twitter.com/zex7LTZ8mn

this guy is one of the weirdest stories out there, 99% chance hes a PED supplier http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/12/19/tom-bradys-trainers-reduced-role-with-team-causing-some-friction

yeah that story is blowing up locally, basically sounds like the patriots long ago made the decision that tom could do whatever he wanted but recently guerrero's been disrupting some other players training and bill got pissed.

there's going to be an amazing expose about this guy written ~5 years after brady retires.

It sounded like some weirdo scifi cult thing in that ESPN Magazine article I read a couple of weeks ago.

Has a juice candidate ever been more obviously so

not since baseballs mcguire-bonds-sosa heyday

Yah meant to say modern

can't believe we're discussing juicing (they all are, especially gronk) when we could be talking about the pro bowl

gronk gotta get that juice bro!

Stats

Missed one game this year and was this one of course. Maybe for the best with my heart condition. Watched British nfl highlights show, which was even more horrific than I expected, and got a proper look at the controversial call which...well, I'm sure it was very exciting at the time, but I didn't expect it to be quite so obviously not a catch. Anyway, that played out like the recent Pats super bowl wins, so might be done for the year now. Divisional round loss to bmore prediction continuing to look strong.

Warrick Dunn is making the down payment and furnishing a home for a single mother today in Atlanta. He's done that 159 times now. Cool guy.

nice

that's awesome

ripapa

i always loved how he pronounced it puppa juns in the commercials

hopefully he will still have the means to maintain one of the worst dye jobs going

im getting word that frank gore is not only still in the league but has become only the 2nd player ever to have 12 straight 1000 yard seasons and is 5th on the alltime rushing list

I'm kinda wondering if you might see some more NFL owners try to cash out at the end of the season and sell the club. Trying to get out before the fall.

Gore gonna go down as one of the most underrated players ever. Pretty crazy that he’s had the consistency and durability he has as someone who blew out both knees before he played in the NFL.

Also kind of proof that it takes luck to be a star. He was on a lot of crappy teams in SF and then signs with Indy thinking that is going to be a chance to get in the playoffs and be on good clubs and they turned into crud.

Those laters niner teams he was on were good!

Gore was on 3 good teams in 11. How many TV commercials would have had if he played for the Packers or Steelers in the same time?

Running back is weird in that way when discussing the greats, as you got some players that got hurt young Bo Jackson, Gayle Sayers, Billy Sims etc. and then you got people like Herschel Walker and Ricky Williams who by what you know really were a couple of the best of all time but their careers turned out really weird.

indy is playing good/hard imo

Gore kinda has a pretty dud personality too tho. Not much flare there to market

Emmitt Smith was great, but the dude had the luck of both being on the best exact place to put up tons and tons of yards and being durable enough to play forever. Smith was a masher and great running back to just pound the rock, but I can probably name on a hand at least a handful of guys I saw play that were more dangerous because of their speed and moves etc.

this game is bad.

yeah obv if you switch emitt smith w Barry sanders then Barry prob averages 3k yards a season and emitts name is unknown.

Smith would have been really good, but it would not have been as easy and he probably would have taken a worse pounding. Larry Allen alone, that era Cowboy o-line was the best of it's time.

Sanders kept a bunch of his teams in the game. They never got over that next level, but they won quite a few games. A couple of times they had a good passing games, they just couldn't get it all together to take that next step.

feel like every lions season they had sanders they had to win out their last three games to make the playoffs and save their coaches job and they always did it then lost in the first round

This is extremely unlikely but damn it would be the most hilarious thing

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21863467/teams-complain-nfl-green-bay-packers-violated-ir-rule-think-aaron-rodgers-released

Multiple teams complained to the NFL last week that the Packers violated the rules regarding players who are eligible to be placed on injured reserve -- and that Green Bay should have to release quarterback Aaron Rodgers as a result, league sources told ESPN.

NFL rules stipulate that a player needs to have suffered a new injury that would sideline him at least six weeks to be placed on injured reserve. If that is not the case, the team is obligated to release the player once he is healthy.
