I feel like Phoenix or Vegas would be safer spots for him... 🙃... but super happy that he's signed another contract and wishing him the very best.

Wait... this was on the Netflix series, Quarterback?

I agree wholeheartedly. Josh will have to carry this team less than he's ever had to before.

If they were gonna draft a Hayek, I'd prefer it was Salma Hayek.

Still has the boyish good looks if you ask me... certainly not aging like a US President...

Hmmmm... they made me purchase PSLs before they would send me the tickets for the scrimmage.

I've heard of him!!!

For better or worse, that one worked. Thank you!

Massive extension? I'm glad he'll remain employable after his football days are over. Thank you for your understanding and allowing us our sport. I knew you were grouchy... now I know why.

Ralph's cheap...

Rubes, no biggie but FYI I'm not seeing it.

@JÂy RÛßeÒ would like those if they were wearing the pink shoes... The answer... is a question mark? Technically the Bison is standing, not grazing. This is a test. For the next sixty seconds, this website will conduct a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have been instructed to tune in to one of the broadcast stations in your area in order to call in a protest against the proposed bronze statue. This is only a test.

I can't hear you!!! Did you ask if DVDs are still a thing??? Can you speak up??? I'm a bit hard of hearing!!!

I agree with most of your takes but not so much this one. I think Dawkins is underrated in the eyes of many but in a hypothetical open market, he'd get top money.

I'm reminded in Ryan O'Halloran's Buffalo News article today that the Bills traded up 20 picks to get Shakir... at #148 in the 5th round. Shakir is part of the larger discussion of the Bills 2022 draft. While the Bills whiffed on Kaiir Elam, they struck gold with James Cook in the 2nd round, Terrel Bernard in the 3rd, Shakir in the 5th, and Christian Benford in the 6th. Behind a paywall: https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nfl/bills/article_22add474-2a3b-4e78-804b-beddd4447c8c.html From the article: “He was a ‘Bills Blue’ player all the way – a guy who, the more time we spent with him, we knew he would be a great pro and a culture and Buffalo fit for us,” Bills' Assistant GM Brian Gaine said. “We didn’t have a fourth-round (pick), and we never thought he would be available in the fifth round. We were sweating it out in the fourth and the top of the fifth, and we traded up.” The Bears received the Bills pick #168 and drafted OT Braxton Jones. Jones has started all 40 games he's played for the Bears though he's only been healthy for 23 of the last 34 games. The Bears drafted OTs in the 2nd and 6th round this year. The Bears also received pick #203 in the Shakir trade, which they used on running back Trestan Ebner who's been out of the league since August 2023.

I had mentioned months ago that Rasul would be a good candidate to finish his career as a safety.

Which is nearly offset by the cost of being a Best Buy Total member... no? A quick search is telling me that the Best Buy membership costs $180.

True enough. What reason to single out turkey vultures then?

Wade with his headphones and Greg(g) with his megaphone. 😆

How does grabbing an open table fit in with the waiting list that the host/hostess keep? Hmmmm... you are aware that ravens will pick at road kill? Depending on the season and region, it can make up a substantial percentage of their diet.

From PFT today (Saturday 7/19/25) regarding 1st round edge rusher Shemar Stewart: "For reasons neither known nor apparent (other than “they wanted to”), the Bengals have changed the default language in their contracts to extend the consequences of voided guarantees to the balance of the deal. It’s a new term, and this year’s rookies are the Cincinnati guinea pigs. First-round edge rusher Shemar Stewart has refused to accept the new language without a fair concession. The Bengals refuse to make one. Their attitude has been “take it or leave it” (or, more bluntly, “shut up and play”). Stewart has left it, and he has not shut up. He’s now officially not with the team for his first training camp. The Bengals have failed to get a deal done. And they’ve shown no inclination to bend. Although the Bengals are cheap, this one isn’t about money. It’s about power. It’s about who’s in charge. “We are, you’re not.” The Bengals are also stubborn. They’ll expect Stewart to cave. Maybe he will. Or maybe he won’t. Maybe he’ll try to play college football. Maybe he’ll sit out the year and re-enter the draft. The problem is that the Bengals don’t sufficiently care about working something out. They want Stewart to surrender. They’re prioritizing that power over winning. If they truly cared about winning, they’d come up with a win-win that would get Stewart in camp and get him ready to help the Bengals not stumble out of the gates. Again."

To put a bow on it, from PFT: "As the 40th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, Shough is the lowest pick in the draft to get a fully guaranteed deal. Until this year, no second-round pick had received a fully guaranteed deal, but when the 33rd and 34th overall picks got their rookie contracts guaranteed this year, that led agents for other second-round picks to demand fully guaranteed deals for their clients as well. In the end, the first eight picks of the second round got their rookie contracts guaranteed. According to the report, the Saints also agreed to a stipulation no other second-round pick has: Shough will get most of his pay each year as a guaranteed roster bonus during the first week of training camp, rather than having to earn most of his salary weekly during the regular season." Next year's 2nd round pick negotiations should be interesting.

Earl Campbell was absolutely one of those runners (it seems like there were more "back then") who had a disregard for his own physical well-being. There was recent discussion here about Billy Simms. He and Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Cookie Gilchrist... and many more accepted the responsibility that came with being the star running back, which was the superstar position at the time, above quarterback. These guys knew that they were the vanguard for their offenses... that running was equated to winning. And they knew that their teammates expected them to set the tone for physicality and toughness. I feel that running backs were tougher back in the day. To the topic, I think Thurman might be a bit forgotten but that's because he was a generalist that did everything well. His game didn't jump of the field (and TV screen) like some other running backs. As far as greatest of all time, there is no one who watched OJ Simpson play during his prime from 1972 until he was injured in 1977 who would leave him off their top 3. It wasn't only his staggering accomplishments: six 200+ yard rushing games most games with over 250 yards most yards in a 14 game season first runner with over 2000 yards in a season 5-time 1st team All-Pro NFL MVP 4 time NFL rushing leader NFL record for highest yards per game in a season (143.1) member of the NFL All-1970s team NFL 75th Anniversary team NFL 100th Anniversary team It was the way OJ ran, a combination of speed, power, agility, instinct, elusiveness, and body expression that no one has come close to since. He had all the balletic grace of Barry Sanders and Gayle Sayers combined with the freight train power of Adrian Peterson and Eric Dickerson. Those who leave OJ off their list of top 3 running backs either never saw him play in his prime or don't really understand football. There was discussion upthread about Marcus Allen? Marcus Allen was an imitation of OJ Simpson.
