  1. Past hour
  2. It’s linebacker and it’s gotta hit. Which I think goes against the Bills four year plan that started with the 2025 draft. Hammer defense 2025. WR for 2026, and more of a balance between offense and defense. They may have to delay help for Josh until the 2027 draft.
  3. That's just stats though. If you've watched their games this year, Herbert has made elite game winning plays, in particular against KC and Denver. That's been the knock on him. He can stand tall in the pocket and make all the throws, but can he make the big play in the big moment? This year he's making those plays. This is also the first year where I've seen him realize his legs are a weapon. In the past he's been hesitant to take off even with wide open space in front of him, but this year he's giving defenses that one extra thing to worry about.
  4. talking to trained therapists/counselors is something I can not recommend enough. The hospital should be able to easily identify those that specialize in youth eating disorders.
  5. What, no more Be Best? Thankfully the alliteration and vagueness remain intact.
  6. Anyone catch "The Lowdown" on FX tonight?? They had two episodes tonight, but I only watched episode 1.......had to DVR episode 2 for later. There are a lot of characters, and a lot going on, but it seems like it's going to be pretty good. Its got that "Noir" vibe to it......like Fargo without the snow. Give it a try.
  7. I want whoever is making the draft picks in the later rounds to be making the picks in the early rounds.
  8. Big money advertisers surely have a Q-rating and data for all the top athletes. If the data said they were marketable they would get commercial offers.
  9. Maybe Hairston can play an NFL snap or two before we start thinking he is taking snaps away from the undisputed CB1 on the team.
  10. Good question. Dart was on a Yankees broadcast and was affable, polite.
  11. I usually just scroll on past this stuff but this is the worst take I've seen in a while, from one of the guys that started Football Outsiders: In case you can't see the whole tweet:
  12. I think the word you're looking for is an NFL 'acquisition' of the CFL, not merger. A merger would imply the NFL and CFL are on fairly equal standing.and coming together as one organization. Like the AFL/NFL merger. And that's not even remotely the case. The CFL is filled with players who couldn't get signed to an NFL Practice Squad. So a merger would be ridiculous. It would be like MLB teams playing AA teams. But an NFL acquisition of the CFL wherein they become a sort of version of the old NFL Europe developmental league could be intriguing. Would be especially helpful for Pathway Program players like Travis Clayton or guys like KJ Hamler and Andy Isabella whose opportunities have dried up.
  13. Russel Wilson? (*shudders)
  14. Spencer definitely wouldn’t be in the NFL if it weren’t for all that beef his Dad was sending him during college, among all the other ways his parents raised him the right way.
  15. Today
  16. There is zero chance Saskatoon has a team in a merger scenario. Ditto Hamilton. Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Calgary are all borderline. All of them have metro areas roughly the size of Providence or Milwaukee or less. Vancouver and Toronto would be locks. Montreal would have to be considered iffy just from their history with American sports leagues and public stadium support. The issue for the borderline cities would be that the NFL would demand new stadiums in each one and the ones in Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Calgary would need to be domes. The Grey Cup is in late November, the NFL runs into January. No shot the NFL is intentionally going into those markets to play outside in December and January. Are the local and provincial governments ready to kick in 2-3 billion CAD each? Is there a potential owner in any of those places who would be willing to go it alone AFTER paying what will certainly be an exorbitant expansion fee (easily into the multiple billions - each). The cheapest NFL team is about 4 billion dollars according to recent valuations. Why would the league sell anybody a franchise for less than that? They wouldn't. So 4 billion is a minimum, 5 is more likely, plus the stadium on top of it. 25 years ago the Texans cost 700 million in expansion fees when the average team was worth 380 million. Today, the average team is worth 5.5 billion dollars. Using the same ratio the league applied in 1999, an expansion team would cost 10.2 billion dollars today. That money would all be split 32 ways. For ONE expansion team. That works out to 318ish million per owner, per expansion team. I also don't see the owners giving out a Groupon discount just because they would be admitting several teams at once. Either pay or piss off. Furthermore, why would the NFL go into those smaller media markets while leaving Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, San Antonio, Austin, Orlando, San Diego, Portland, Saint Louis and others on the table? It makes no sense. The NFL would rather bankrupt the CFL, take Toronto and Vancouver then add two more teams, one in Mexico City and one someplace in Texas, either San Antonio or Austin. Jerry will squawk, but will be sated by the 1.275 billion coming to him in fees.
