That's No Moon

So people are totally going to put lawn chairs on Beane's lawn Thursday, right?

Ask Devils fans if they want to give that Cup back.

They told him he needed to update his Windows to 10. Hence, busting out walls.

and they could do all of those things already. If anything all of the internal IT departments and League Security have been running around like madmen to make sure all the mouthbreathers in the front office don't have "football" as their password.

That didn't happen. #FakeNews

Howard is an excellent athlete who didn't produce in college and hasn't produced in the NFL. No thank you.

Fine, you're right. It's much too difficult and the risk of compromise is much too great. The draft is postponed until everyone can drive to a common, secret, underground location where they can be sure nobody will see their proprietary information. The broadcast is going to be on a delay like it always is. If somebody jacks the teleconference they will just shut it down. That's all. No big deal. Nobody will get the opportunity to do anything outlandish. You stop the process and continue it later or whenever you feel like. Nobody will die if a CB from Texas A&I doesn't get drafted until next Tuesday. Will it be annoying? Yes. Will it be disruptive? Yes. Is any of that reason to not do it? No.

I'm not arguing that it's not more streamlined but let's not act like this is impossible or even difficult.

The NFLs over-inflated sense of self-importance.

That way he can push off against smaller guys. He's old, he needs a break fer Chrissakes.

And these dont have to either. Companies do investor calls on Skype and other similar platforms all the time.

Jesus, there have been plain old conference calls for a million years where Fortune 500 companies would do huge business. Yes it easier to talk face to face but c'mon guys. The potential pain points come with broadcasting this on TV and doing things like forgetting to mute your mic.

That's an excellent prop bet. Jets?

Millions of people manage to draft fantasy football teams online every year. This isn't really that complex.

I'm more concerned about Jalen Hurts TBH

And that has stopped them exactly when previously?

It would be easier to stomach if they were well run

One of the first outcomes will be that they ask the community they just layed off 100+ people from to foot the bill for a stadium.

That was kind of my thought process. If I can open holes and keep my QB upright against anyone then I can beat pretty much anyone.

Guys were fast then too.

Agreed. To account for the different number of teams now I suggest using players selected after pick #96 (32 teams x 3 rounds excluding comp picks which are different every year) For example, Johnny Unitas was a 9th round pick but he was pick 102 which is a 3rd round compensatory pick this year but it should be a 4th rounder. In my scenario, Unitas is draftable. Andre Reed was pick #86, which is solidly in the 3rd round now, and is not. QB - Warren Moon (UFA) RB - Terrell Davis (#196) RB - Marion Motley (UFA) WR - Rod Smith (UFA) WR - Harold Carmichael (#161) TE - Antonio Gates (UFA) T - Jason Peters (UFA) T - Joe Jacoby (UFA) C - Mike Webster (#125) G - Brian Waters (UFA) G - Larry Little (UFA) DE - Jared Allen (#126) DE - Clyde Simmons (#233) DT - John Randle (UFA) DT - Pat Williams (UFA) OLB - James Harrison (UFA) MLB - London Fletcher (UFA) OLB - Kevin Greene (#115) CB - Night Train Lane (UFA) CB - Richard Sherman (#154) S - Willie Wood (UFA) S - Donnie Shell (UFA) K - Adam Vinatieri (UFA) P - Shane Lechler (#142)

I get why things like this are fun but they are inherently unfair to the older players. Guys in the 20's didn't even have stats kept. Tackle wasn't the end of the line either, that's what the End was for. There were no wide receivers as we know them so having an End from 1920 in the same column as Randy Moss is inherently unfair. They were asked to do completely different things and, in the modern game, the 1920's end has the job of the modern TE, not the modern WR. I also get why they combined FB and TE (so the number of decades would match up neatly) but it makes you cram players who don't belong together in the same pile and then only letting you pick one. Kellen Winslow and Bronko Nagurski did vastly different things on the football field so it's not even like picking the flavor of TE you want. Nagurski wouldn't be a FB in the modern sense of the word either, he would be a feature back that you happily hand the ball to, not a blocking back who occasionally catches a swing pass. So yeah, in 1930 his position was fullback, but again, that term means a completely different thing now than it did then. On the flip side, if you made the modern linemen play with their hands in and not let them use their hands to block then speed and mobility becomes more paramount. If you did defense there would be similar problems. The top CBs from the 70s and earlier would be flagged every play for holding and interference because that's what the rules allowed. I'm going to work on the assumption that QBs and WRs who were really good in that sort of environment would be much better in the modern game because there would be so much more room to operate. I dunno, have fun with it.
