transient

My kinda broadcast crew, except for the Buck and Aikman part. Couldn’t tequila have found less annoying representation to speak on its behalf?

Probably a good thing it didn’t happen. All of that celebrating would have caused a real... strain... on the city.

I guess Zach Smith wasn’t available. Guess that arachnoid cyst is affecting his judgement again. POS.

Wouldn’t letting the QB have input on personnel decisions reinforce the fact they’re a poorly run organization? A big part of the reason they’re in the mess they’re in is BO’B, who also wasn’t qualified, was making personnel decisions.

Yes, but the mark of a HOF Bills QB is how drunk he can get the night before the Super Bowl.

Accept that the season ended 2 weeks ago and there is no dilemma. I don’t find my blood pressure elevated at all while watching reruns of Schitts Creek, and I haven’t once found myself rooting for misfortune to any of the cast members... ok, I wouldn’t be disappointed if something bad happened to Chris Elliott, but I’m not actively rooting for it.

Their fan already has one, so they probably just give the rest of them away with the fishing charters.

Put it this way, if this wasn’t purely for cap reasons and Brees did decide to play, at this stage of his career for what he brings to the table even at the veteran minimum he’d still be overpaid.

That’s what led to the awkward “hey all, what’s up” non-retirement press conference by Wood where players, former players, friends and family showed up to hear Wood not announce his retirement. Clearly he couldn’t play, so there was no question in his mind, but his camp didn’t think through the implications of the timing before putting together his send off.

If you’re going to throw out baseless conspiracy theories they should at least be believable. Everyone knows who made the ultimate decision...

Is this a thing? Can this really happen? 🙏 If so, do you think they’ll sell tickets to it? 🤔

I can already hear Flores stealing' a page out of his former OC's book when the critics come a callin'... "It was Studesville's turn."

Witten didn’t have the benefit of being able to distract people with sleight of hand... https://gfycat.com/diligentinexperiencedblueandgoldmackaw

Living outside of Detroit from 2011-2016 and NOLA from 2016-present and seeing both QBs close up, I think you could make a pretty good argument that the Saints would have had a better shot at the SB the last 2 seasons with Stafford over Brees. Saints window with Brees basically closed after the missed PI call against the Rams, but they tried to extend it. Despite missing numerous games both seasons, in effect sparing some of his arm, Brees’ arm was dead come playoffs the last 2 seasons. They would have been better off continuing with the game plan they were using for Taysom Hill this season when Brees came back to avoid having Brees throw. There was talk locally (granted, pie in the sky given the cap situation, IMO) the Saints were going to make a play for Stafford. Re Rams with Stafford as opposed to Goff, Stafford can play and can rally when things go sideways, it’s leading where he needs the help. Unlike Detroit, the Rams have a solid locker room and veteran leaders. In addition to being less talented, Goff strikes me as even more milquetoast than Stafford and McVay managed to get them to the SB with him (albeit via a blown PI). I think Stafford in LA may surprise some people, and I think it’s a good gamble by the Rams and a pretty objective assessment of what was holding them back. Also, spending what they did to bring in a 33 yo QB suggests they know what’s down the road a few seasons when the check comes and they have to purge the roster.

He played almost as many regular-season games as he would have if he hadn't opted out.

You mock... the ears of every football fan ever unfortunate enough to listen to Witten in the broadcast booth applauded that comeback and considered it an unmitigated success...

New Orleans couldn’t get him under the cap without decimating their roster more than they’re already going to have to.

Lived in MI from 2011-2016, so saw more than my share of Lions games. He always struck me as really talented, athletically reminded me a lot of Jim Kelly, he’s just not a leader, which was Kelly’s biggest asset... or at least not enough of a leader to overcome the lack of organization and discipline that defines that club. He could never get that team to rally around him.

Or like when he lit up Seattle earlier this season after his grandmother passed.

Spare me the indignation, Allen was out cold. He cleared the protocol. He played the next week. Also, depending on how old your daughters were at the time, there’s an entity referred to as malignant brain edema, also known as second impact syndrome, that children and adolescents who experience traumatic brain injury are at increased risk for, which may have accounted for the longer delay in medical clearance.

As an... amuse bouche?

FIFY.

Maybe Frazier looked at the situation he'd be walking into, looked at the situation he was in, and said thanks but no thanks.

I'm sure he'll have the Ravens LBs fired up and ready to stop Trent Edwards the next time they face him.
