FOLES RUSH IN: 2018 nfl qb carousel and miscellaneous offseasoning thread

So I received this letter last week. It’s written by Hunter S Thompson to @Colts Owner Jim Irsay in 1998 a month before the NFL Draft. This is unbelievable, hysterical, & ludicrous!! Have a read. @richeisen and I will discuss today on @RichEisenShow at 11:00 AM PT. #mindblown pic.twitter.com/AWStCEiSTM

in the meantime did anyone else read this? actual lols all the way through

“At first I was like dang, we’re in last place by like fifteen yards!” Gronkowski said breathlessly, translating the race to football-speak moments after the finish.

Rob’s dad, brothers and pals who came with him to cheer on Team Gronkowski placed numerous $69 bets on his horse to place. Each of those wagers paid out to the tune of $1200.

“I went to London and I dominated that game, we dominated that game as a team. This horse is coming from London now and playing its first game in the States, so hopefully that happens.”

The group settles in at a reserved table overlooking the track and gets to work on a tub of Coors Light.

Gronk smiles down on his subjects and practices his royal wave, greeting fans with a “Happy 6/9!” and posing on his balcony for pictures like a prince lording over his kingdom.

Standing tall in stall No. 6, Gronkowski (the human) shakes his head back and forth and sighs, flapping his lips the way a horse does. “Is this the noise a horse makes?”

“Wow—did you see Justify’s ass?” Big G says, in genuine appreciation of the magnificent Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner. “It’s huge!”

A group of what must be Jets fans catches sight of Gronk heading down the tunnel and yell, “SECOND SUCKS!”

this shady news is horrific + disappointing

yeah fucked up

jesus

wtf is up with this, that home invasion story is crazy.

demarco murray retiring

it's not always 100% of the time but it seems like so many of those guys who get a huge workload and have a career season above 1800 yds rushing, it winds up never being the beginning of a new plateau, it's mostly the last gasp of dominance before they decline markedly or sometimes completely.

BREAKING: Miami Dolphins to discipline players who protest during national anthem with suspensions, fines or both.

— The Associated Press (@AP) July 19, 2018

fuck my team

*owner

cool I bet this wont backfire and become a PR nightmare for them

fuck the dolphins, and if everyone doesn't kneel game one then fuck the players too

curious as to what counts as 'not a protest'

do you have to put your hand on your heart? can you stand on a bucket? can you do the Y M C A dance during it?

ah who gives a shit anyway, this league blows

the eagles did the right thing by beating the patriots and now there is nothing more to play for, everyone watch basketball instead thanks

Foles #1 selling merch player this off season

so that Dolphins thing, terrible as it is, was apparently in response to a league requirement that each team submit their punishments for people who protest the anthem.

This whole thing is beyond redemption and Goodell should be eaten by wolves

so sad : (

Training camp starts! Baker the TD Maker! Myles Garrett!! A 100% healthy Corey Coleman! Hard knocks! Let’s fucking do this!!!!!!! SU PER BOWL!! SU PER BOWL!!

Give the NFL credit where it’s due: They are so much better than the NBA at giving fanbases of terrible teams optimism before the season starts. You think I’m gonna give a shit about any Cavs games next season?

this is gonna be the year the browns win a game snrub, I can feel it

i think i've said this before but i'm really excited to see how the browns are able to squander the massive amount of talent that they've accumulated

Johnny Football is getting his first start north of the border this weekend.

Kill me.

first ep of browns hard knocks teaches me two things
1. this team is catastrophically managed & coached
2. if they win any games it will be bc tyrod puts the team on his back

deets pls

the Ritchie Incognito/Vikings drama has been highly entertaining

deets pls

hue trying to explain to mayfield about the importance of waking up 5 in the morning to get a jump on the day and start preparing and mayfield just wandering off

lots of awkward conversations

taylor seems like a real professional

coaching staff doesn't really seem like they have any control over the josh gordon situation - they're just hoping he comes back and have no idea when

hue lecturing todd haley

coaches berating players for performing badly doing practice, "how could you miss that fucking helen keller could see that," hue complaining that practice "fucking sucks"

landry giving a bitter profanity laden lecture to the WR corps about how they need to be practicing and how ducking work is contagious like 15-20 f-bombs

mayfield trying to lead the team in singing "take me home country road" and no one sings along

there's a special qb only RV

i really want to disengage from nfl media but you're not making it easy

myles garrett looks like he has his shit together too

they gotta replace that coaching tho

jarvis landry is the worst player that ppl seem to care about

episode opens w/ ppl taking down the big lebron poster

Diehard #Jaguars fan Tim Richert says he ordered a custom Jags jersey from the NFL Shop. He claims he got this - with the #Patriots logo on the front. “I was devastated to see this atrocity even exists, and for it to happen to me was perceived as a slight to all Jags fans.” pic.twitter.com/mpoYIckTSr

perfect qbr from tyrod taylor and mayfield looked hot too apparently. i feel like it's going to be pretty exciting to see cleveland's offense finally start to click and then have their season totally derailed by gregg williams

Guice ACL tear

The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with first-round pick Roquan Smith, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal is for the slotted amount of $18 million guaranteed over four years. A source told Schefter the contract should include about $11 million in bonuses.

Selected with the eighth overall pick in the draft, Smith had been the last unsigned rookie in the NFL. Part of the reason for his holdout has been language in his contract that would allow the team to reclaim guaranteed money if the linebacker is suspended under the NFL's new helmet-contact rules, a source previously confirmed to ESPN.

this league is always pioneering new ways to be horseshit

lol

JUST IN: Starting today, @budlight is installing “Victory Fridges” that will be full of beer in 10 Cleveland bars. When the Browns win first regular season game, fridges unlock and beer inside is free to fans. pic.twitter.com/DkRWkVkLkx
