I had fantasized about cut day and Tennessee loading up on top talent, but it seems teams are only releasing their worst players!

Hope you didn't draft Adrian Peterson as your RB from the WFC.

Latest is that Clowney is a probable sign to TN!

---

Meanwhile in GB, we cut local hero WR Jake Kumerow. He was a WI kid and went to my alma mater. It was a good story, and he had a good run. Lots of people are going to be upset, because that's just how GB fans are... at least some still fantasize about Jordy Nelson making a return.

I'm mostly fine with it. He had some good plays, but 'scrappy' isn't necessarily sustainable. The problem is, where the hell is the depth? It's not like we need to make room for all the receiving talent we drafted this year. I guess we're really going to dig into the run game..

I think his season will give “short leash” a new meaning.

Nagy seems like a total headcase to me. I love it.

AP now a Lion.

How do you feel about Clowney to your Titans?

If he can turn 3rd or 4th down and 2 into 1rst downs will be a huge signing. May also be indication that Kerryon and Swift injuries may linger.

AP still has something left but he presents the same issue here he’s faced at all his post-Vikings stops; he needs 20 carries a game to get going / wear down the defense, and he has zero interest in being part of a “platoon” or mentoring younger backs while getting 8 carries a game.

Are the Lions committed to making him the starter / bell cow? Not sure what’s going on in their running back room.

Could not be happier. Beasley turning out to be a flake is terrifying and I did not like their draft class. So adding a quality vet is huge. Plus when he walks next year Tennessee may get a 3rd rd comp pick.

Biggest concern with the team is Vrabel taking over as DC.

I’m hoping this will give the Lions’ running game a temporary pick-up like Reggie Bush did. At least now I think there is some talent in the wings to continue when the Lions’ time with AP is over.

I hope so.

With Patricia's dumb ass whom the fuck knows. Might be doing it to show the rookie some pointers? Didn't we all see how AD flipped his shit having to share carries?

9/7/20 right now.

I just looked at nfl.com, it says first game 9/10/20.

With Sunday 9/13/20 looking like it always did, and 2 Monday night games after that, like has been normal for a long time.

Damn I hope all this happens and we can have plenty of football in a few days!

Wife's the raiders fan but I've always loved the colors and symbol.

Earl Thomas will be a Cowboy by Monday afternoon next week! If they wait til after week 1 he is only guaranteed 25% of his contract. 4year veteran. Vested contract. Damn that defense getting fierce! Can't wait til NFL's games this week!

And yes..im not trying to troll! i know I'm a donkah for thinking the cowboys will be good this year! But i can't help it! I watch the nba playoffs (Go Raps) but looking fwd to Thurs nite!

Support who you support, wish more people did. Happy to see so many people with faith in their team. Coming from a life long Bengal fan its easy to give fans of other teams pep talks.

Curious how ratings will be for this season, I would think very high, but I would think so about anything right now. Does anyone know if people are actually watching the NBA or MLB right now?

I think I saw something recently that for both, their viewership continues to decline from the previous year.

Ratings will be higher then ever!!
A weekly average of just over a million people (16×65000) won't be in the stands and at home watching on TV.

How long before the constant bleating about causes and cleats and 'special interest' stories makes watching the games unbearable?

I don't fault the players for using their platform but the NFL, its sponsors, the networks and announcers trying to cash in on this is disgusting. ESPN's decent into the cesspool of unwatchable TV coincided with their attempt to be a SJW.

I haven’t watched anything other than live sports on ESPN for years now, Smith and Bayless was quite possibly the worst sports talk show in history.

What about Swift and Johnson? Already saying these were wasted high draft picks?

AP is pretty washed up, I’m hoping he’s your starter.

Agree with espn shows sucking with the exception of Highly Questionable and PTI. Lebatard is espn best talent by far and Wilbon on pti calling everyone morons is still pretty entertaining.

Around the horn is still good as long as rei keeps his crying to a minimum.
I don't like lebatard too much...the dad bit it not funny at all the show is better in quarantine.

Id imagine they the will use everyone (lime the patriots) but not very effectively. Johnson will get hurt a lot anyway.

Without any fans it will be interesting to see how it impacts the games? My guess is it will even the play field quite a bit with no fans in the seats. Aside from playing in shitty weather home field advantage pretty much gets thrown out the door.

I think some teams will have limited amounts of fans in the stadiums, from what I’ve read.

What will be even weirder are the ones that will have fans. Bengals and Browns allowed to have 6k fans for games one and two I believe.

Also there are probably less than 5 teams that get a true home field advantage in the NFL.

Gotta disagree there. You have to factor in dome/warm weather team into it.

This only verifies how lame and laughable the HOF has became over the last 2 decades

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/colin-kaepernick-is-nominated-for-the-pro-football-hall-of-fame/vi-BB18RBTT?ocid=msedgdhp

What a fucking joke.

To be honest I'm very near the point I'm going to stop watching sports anymore as it has simply became a political platform for any and all to step up on thier soapbox. I watch sports to get away from that shit as it permeates everything else but looks like all sports are going to become political platforms. Been watching boxing a lot and they've not started the crap there yet but I know it's a matter of time. No sanctity left for people who just want to watch sports or simply TV for that matter.

Right those domes do make a big difference similar to the Mile High Stadium effect teams suffer when they play there.

Totally wasn’t considering weather. But the teams that I’d say have a good home field advantage are the ones that play outside in weather the best.

Not sure how playing in a dome gives a team the advantage over another. They are playing in that dome too.

The teams that play well in shitty weather would have an advantage at their home base I would say, but it more has to do with the weather than the location/fans.

I feel these teams have a true advantage at home:

Seahawks
Steelers
Chiefs
Packers

Maybe Denver but I have yet to see any team complain about playing there. I think the fans make more of that than anything.

Ten times louder and playing under those indoor lighting systems effects receiver play. I've heard this said about domes and dome lights from both MLB and NFL players alike.

Looks like 2 hours

EDIT: Also, no one believes you aboot being honest here.

I think ratings will continue to fall, people watch sports for the competition aspects not world news policy updates.

Why am I not surprised........lame ass comments will abound.

First off, ratings haven't been falling. Second, in a pendemic they will be way up.

Ahhhh...little kapernick news really got you sad today huh?

Lame ass "I'm quitting sports" shit from old men is nothing new, and it hasn't hurt any sport in the last 100 years...well maybe boxing
Before you it was the people complaining aboot players thanking god every second, or some other lame ass thing that doesn't matter. Joe Burrow shows up but now THIS is going to stop you watching football? No one has believed Who-Dey the last 25 times he's said it, don't know why you'd be any diff'rent

Could care less about Burrows all the BS is ruining the games! I don't give a rats ass about Colin either just hate to see over the last couple decades the HOF designation has lost it's meaning just as the pro bowl has. Players used to have to earn the honor.

Judging from your response it appears my comment bunched your panties LOL

Yeah, Who-Dey has kind of poisoned the well for anyone threatening to quit the NFL in this thread.

Not close. I have those responses ready to copy and paste from years of dealing with Who-Dey

But seriously guys, I hope Dirtbag is doing well

EDIT: And I don;t wear underwear. Football fever...catch it!

Hey he contacted me about a week ago. He's coming back (shill account I guess) but he wanted me to agree to verify him so don't be surprised if he hits you up as well.

Who Dey is a great guy and funny as hell to be around. I gotta get up there to play his burger time and pins.

This season will go in the books as meaningless for whomever wins the SB like the strike year.

We tried to give you guys Jay and Dan. ESPN sent them back to Canada but Stephen a Smith has to be the worst of the bunch! I also don't care for the Around the Horn format..the up voting and silencer button are lame..PTI is always good to watch!

I resent that, sir!

The mighty Washington Football Team has won three Lombardi trophies, and two of them were during strike seasons. Those trophies have meaning!

AS we've discussed before you even I have to be reminded of Skins strike years, and since everyone older than me has "quit watching football," I think this year should be OK

Found the home field advantage numbers from 2008-2018

Top Ten:

Patriots
Ravens
Packers
Steelers
Saints
Seahawks
Vikings
Falcons
Cardinals
Broncos

Bottom five:

Browns
Buccaneers
Jaguars
Rams
Raiders

Is that no underwear with a stainless steel “drink stirrer”?

I know you don't wear men's underwear thats why I said panties

Wow kinda surprised the Browns are in the bottom, dog pound gets pretty rowdy!

THAT season is almost over...cooooold out there

Oh I'd wear panties over underwear any day for sure, no question.
