My apologies guys, I thought there were more gamers here, haha. I mean, I did say Madden.

Madden 06 was the best. Passer vision made playing defense fun. You could actually consistently play as a safety and hawk balls. So much fun. It also tamed Vick considerably, because he could really only focus on one target at a time.

I know that you said madden..it’s all good. just all this bengals talk..besides the ravens, who’s gonna contend w the chiefs in the afc? Maybe the titans? Steelers maybe..I still think that the toughest division is the nfc west..

First of all, f the Steelers. Second of all, I really do love the Chiefs, and really think Baltimore is going to be unstoppable this year. Lamar Jackson is an absolute monster. Loved watching him at Louisville.

Steve Young doesn’t even believe that.
Maybe Young’s mother believes it.

Everyone would then be an idiot.
Tarkenton was terrific, a hall of famer and deservedly so.

wake me when Clowney signs

Mr. Stiltskin time to wake up, it's 2021 Mr. Stiltskin, Clowney has signed Mr. Stiltskin, Mr. Stiltskin?

I grew up a Cowboy fan with Staubach as our QB.And just like when Joe Cool was on the field you felt you had a chance of .winning any game.Great leaders with an ability to impose their will!

It's so refreshing in this thread to talk aboot actual all-time greats.

Why does no one ever give Randy White any credit in Dallas?

I assume you mean Danny white and the reason is because he was a loser. Decent QB but cowboys never won shit with him at the helm and of course he suffered greatly in comparison with his predecessor. And he was QB as the cowboys slid into decrepitude throughout the 80s.

Randy white was a DT.

Sandwiched betwixt 2 HOF QB & dynasties.

Yes, I did mean Danny. I thought he was pretty damn good in all the games I watched him play. I wasn't aware they didn't win much with though as I really never seen what I'd call a bad game by him

About to be a pro bowl free agent safety !

Randy White,Bob Lily,Too Tall Ed Jones ,and Jethro Pugh!!!!!

Do you mean Danny White?

He was pretty good. I think he played in 3 NFC title games, but lost them all.

He was also their punter for many years

He was a great punter.He could sideline out kick like crazy

Saints have released 3 time pro bowl guard Larry Warford. I hope Cincy makes a run at this guy, either way he won't be out there long.

Hell yeah we'd take him in a heartbeat! Should have plenty of cap room also I would think?

UFC on tonight, NFL will be playing a full schedule, MLB announcing this week their plan for season, restaurants opening in a week or so, life is good. So happy for this horseshit to be over with.

I think it’s pretty tight at this point but they definitely still have some money left for this season. I’ll be shocked if they sign any more people.

They currently have 24.1mil in cap space but they still have to account for an additional $7.5mil against that for the remaining draft picks leaving them with $15-16mil available. I think Warford was due $12mil and change for the last year of his contract. I think he'll sign north of that so unless the Bengals create some space through releases he'll be to costly for us.

Oh it’s over with? That’s great news.

One of the ufc fighters had to pull out because he has covid-19.

I choose to focus on the positive. Things stay shut down, we become worse off. It isnt even really an opinion anymore, things cant stay shut down forever, sorry.

Also, find me the last time at LEAST one fighter didnt have to pull out for one reason or another.

Not one person on earth has suggested we shut down things “forever,” sorry. Don’t know where you came up with that straw man.

But football in September?

Let’s just say I find your naive optimism charming. That’s not even an opinion anymore!

Interesting - if not optimistic- reading from sports illustrated:
https://www.si.com/mlb/2020/04/10/sports-arent-coming-back-soon

Im watching that 100 greatest teams show on NBC. I had forgotten how that 91 Skins team ran through the league.

Most underrated team OF ALL TIME and it’s not even close.

Sandwiched between the 49ers and cowboys dynasties, and in 1991 (not the 80s, where people reflexively place the Skins’ great years) people seem to have forgotten how ridiculously dominant that team was.

All of coach Gibbs’ veterans last hurrah. One of the best lines of all time allowed like 7 sacks all season and mark rypien Rained pain all over the league with his sick deep throws.

Defense shutting out fools left and right.

Absolutely steamrolled in the playoffs. No other team has been as dominant in the postseason if you look at the obscene points
Differential.

It was an intense, joyous season, the memory of which makes me chuckle when someone tries to compare being a skins fan to say, being a bengals fan. If you haven’t been witness to something like that, you just don’t understand.

Glad I got to attend several games that season. Beat down of the wretched eagles on MNF, and a nail biter against the Houston Oilers. I think I also went to a game where we whipped the browns that season.

As long as NFL films is around they’ll never truly be forgotten, but without a doubt that team does not get its due. One of the top 4-5 nfl seasons of all time. If you look into the numbers, you’ll see the true domination.

The next season, they got old overnight, and the 10 year run of excellence was over. It was great while it lasted and I’ll never take for granted that I was around to enjoy the entire ride. Especially 1991.

Sorry for use of the word "forever" , but you know what I meant. If I am naive for thinking things will be normal sooner than later, you are certainly equally naive for thinking the opposite. Reality is somewhere in the middle I am sure. We probably aren't going to have a completely "normal" NFL season, as im spouting off about, but you then have to admit you were being over the top in stating there would be NO NFL season this year.

Truly, im not trying to argue, but just as you are passionately stating worst case scenario as fact, I'm on the other end. We are both naive.

Also, I am not going to give merit to an article written a month ago by an opinion piece writer.

I didn’t ask you to give “merit” to it, I asked you to read it. It raises a number of points you might find interesting. You’d rather not hear those points, fine with me, but don’t pretend to have any credibility in an even handed discussion when all you are interested in is happy talk and nonsense like “we’ll only let 10k people into the stadium,” “staggered entry” and all that other poppycock im hearing from the nfl. It seems absolutely ridiculous to me when you take reality into account.

I’ve read a lot of “opinion pieces” during this crisis, and come to the conclusion that many of them are pretty much horseshit. But how do you rebut them when refuse to read them, and your sole source on this issue is Dana White?

Your opinion seems to be “nfl has to happen because it has to and I want it to!!!!! We can’t just stay shut down forever!!!!!”

It’s passionate. But it‘a not very convincing.

I agree with many of the points you are making. Not even trying to be snarky, but I truly am confused why you seem to think a positive spin on this is a bad thing. Ive never downplayed anything, but the more we learn about the countless people who have had this, and had no idea, is nothing short of proof that this isnt as bad as originally thought. I for one, am thankful for that.

Also, give me some credit, Dana White is a GREAT source for news!

I guess I just don’t want you to raise your expectations so high only to see them cruelly dashed.

And touche on Dana White!

Ive seen some shit man, nothing would surprise me, but much appreciated. On another note, I still have a winning 10 team parlay from last season. Totally forgot, lol.

"Report: Booger McFarland, Joe Tessitore Won't Return to 'Monday Night Football'"

Sorry if this was posted before but i didn;t see it.

I'm all for this. I was looking forward to hearing Tessitore on Holey Moley 2, but not football.

I'm convinced now for sure Jerry Jones does have a brain tumor. What else would account for someone offering Dak $35mil over 5yrs with $106mil guaranteed? Russell Wilson must really be feeling short changed if Dak can command his type money.

They were terrible...Tessitore is better with college football, and Booger was the absolute worst

Booger was terrible, and j have no idea why they were obsessed with motorizing him. Some weird mad max fetish or something.

In a year that deal will seem cheap.

Kirk cousins looking out for his bro.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/kirk-cousins-offers-advice-to-dak-prescott-dont-be-afraid-of-the-franchise-tag/amp/

It’s great to see these players sticking up for each other.

Cap moves up every year, the new qb deal is bigger, i don't know why this confuses anyone.
Jerad Goff got 110 million garenteed....guess what he, already restructured it just like Dak and every qb does.

I should have worked harder during two-a-days....

For real?!

Lol. No...i just find it kind of surreal that we are debating 35-40+ mil a year for QBs

Dak has already been tagged, so that's 31.5 right there. If you want to know what surreal is, lst me a list a few NBA players that make 30 million or more. Now true, I'm not as versed in BBall but I'm a sportsman so I know average stuff.
Kyrie irving & clay Thompson whom missed the year, but I have heard of them.
Gordon Howard, mike Conley, tobias Harris, Khris Middleton, Paul Millsap.
Maybe theose are big players, but they dont sound the level of the most valuable team in the biggest sport in the country.

My guess is they will make Dak play under the FT for a year or two. If he doesn't choose to play than so be it..

I thought he was stupid to have turned down the 33mil offer but it looks as if it paid off this time, he had best take this one I don't think he'll get another.

Totally agree....for a guy who is a mid tier QB he should have taken that all day.
