Quoted from CrazyLevi:You mean the home of the super bowl champions, two years’ running?
Probably not.
You’re living in the past.
Quoted from TheLaw:Ok...getting sick of this Baker to Pitt talk everyone
Make it so.
Quoted from TheLaw:He is the Bengal Slayer but I guess I'll have to live with the Lion Slayer instead.
Isn’t every QB a Lion Slayer?
Quoted from Erik:A bit of smoke around an AJ Brown to Jets trade
Jets were in on the Hill trade talks apparently. Not surprised if they go after a good wr option elsewhere.
Quoted from TheLaw:Trade him...wr contracts are nuclear and no one is worth keeping at this price
If it's a haul they gotta consider it.
Plus we know Vrabel's ideal formation looks like:

One center... lame
Quoted from DudeRegular:One center... lame
I think they're targeting a C/QB hybrid in the draft
Quoted from Erik:Saw another wild one that Miami is in talks to trade for Brady.
Seems unlikely Brady would want to be a backup though
I wouldnt think Brady would allow a trade of any sort.

Ya teddy is a lock for sure
Quoted from Erik:Seems unlikely Brady would want to be a backup though
Maybe that was his “unfinished business”: to get to be a backup again! Mystery solved.
Quoted from boscokid:Your Detroit Lions to be featured on HBO's Hard Knocks! I am excite!!!!
It should be on Comedy Central
Quoted from boscokid:Detroit hosting 2024 draft! Stop it.....I can only take so much in one day
Post-superbowl, pre-draft is really a sweet spot to be a Lions fan.
Quoted from boscokid:Detroit hosting 2024 draft! Stop it.....I can only take so much in one day
If your excitement lasts more than four hours you should go to the hospital!

The back story on the Chargers' name is pretty great, wonder if it's true?
A "name-the-team" contest was held the first year. From the finalists, General Manager Frank Ready chose "Chargers" and Hilton readily agreed. At the time, Hilton also owned a credit card company called Carte Blanche. He wanted his brand to become more memorable and desired fans to become "chargers."
Quoted from fosaisu:Chargers
I had no idea the Raiders were almost called the Señors! aka the "Seniors" or the "Misters".
Wait a second, Scoob! -- that could explain why they were once well known for re-cycling older players!

Well...its news i guess.

Better than Mitch!
Quoted from yaksplat:[quoted image]
Haha. Bengals stopped em.
Also I heard a good idea on the radio today. No change for regular season, home team gets the ball first in the playoffs. Simple and removes the randomness of the coin toss.

this changes everything
Quoted from Erik:this changes everything
HUGE shift in the power balance.
Quoted from boscokid:I think the NO Saints odds to win Super Bowl actually went up when they signed Dalton
He’s a human rabbit’s foot in the first round of the playoffs.
Bills are getting a record $850 million in public money for a new stadium in Buffalo. It’s only going to get more pricey for small-market cities to hang onto their teams.

$565M of that is coming from the Seneca Nation run casinos in NY. There's a 30 year lease and any attempt at moving the team would require the owner to pay that back and pay for demolishing the stadium.
Bruce Arians steps down has head coach and Todd Bowles will replace him, looks like Arians will be moved to the front office.

Makes me wonder how much Tom terrific had to do with this move???????
Quoted from yaksplat:$565M of that is coming from the Seneca Nation run casinos in NY.
Kind of? It’s not like the Seneca are pitching in cash in support of the project. Sounds like they owed $565m to NY state for gambling fees, which the state could just throw in the general fund, but is electing to spend on the Bills’ new stadium (much to the tribe’s disgust, apparently). We are all guilty of this kind of accounting to justify luxury purchases, but at the end of the day the state and city are spending $850m on this stadium that could have been spent on roads, teachers, firefighters, etc.
As you may have picked up I’m not a fan of public funding for stadiums. I get why it happens, people don’t like to lose their teams. But the financial argument that the government will eventually get its money back in increased tax revenue somehow never pans out. And I’m sure the Broncos' new ownership will be passing the hat soon enough. I just hope Denver bargains a little harder.

Oh, you're completely right. The governor is touting the payment from the Senecas as free money. The owners and the NFL should pay 100%, but it's so hard to ask someone to shell out a billion dollars when they only_ have 6 billion.
