  1. Don't even need to change sports. Dallas Cowboys of the AFC.
  2. I'll see your Earl Campbell and raise you Marcus Allen. He is the best comp for Thurman because, in his prime years, he also caught a lot of balls. Also, people have forgotten Eric Dickerson. So I guess my bigger point is that guys don't get their due because there were a lot of great RBs back then.
  3. Now they have room to sign Keenan Allen so that he can retire in training camp. It's the circle of life.
  4. I was just on a YouTube video with a bunch of people who were all outraged about an '87 Pontiac Grand Am being sent to the crusher. If people can be nostalgic for GM N-body cars, human nostalgia knows no bounds.
  5. I don't know who this Burrows guy is you're talking about. Maybe you mean Joe Burroughs?
  6. I hate to break it to ya, but if the Buffalo Bills win a Super Bowl, you ain't getting a ring.
  7. WNY doesn't count in HS football. I really had no idea how big it could be until I moved to Ohio. A St. X game on Friday night gets more fans than a UB game on Saturday. And even that's nothing compared to Texas and Florida. And the Catholic schools here recruit. Every good 8th grade player in a public school that is not Wyoming or Colerain will end up at St. X, LaSalle, Elder, or Moeller with an "academic scholarship." Alumni demand wins and will pay for them.
  8. Other coaches probably turned him in because he was winning. If the innercity schools start retaining their local players and winning, Catholic, Christian, and other private schools won't be able to recruit their players away with "academic" scholarships. So they are putting him in his place.
  9. I realise that we’re supposed to clown on this thread, but I want to respond. Cook didn’t hold out! He was a full participant at Minicamp and isn’t causing problems in the locker room. He’s making social media noise, which annoys fans, but he is going to play regardless. For this season, this is a non-story. Do I wish that it was a WR who was so good that he had outplayed his contract and was making harmless noise for more money? Yes. Yes I do.
  10. You have to have a big personality as a HC if the team is located in what is essentially a beach resort with nightclubs.
  11. Fans always talk about CBs transitions to safety to talk themselves into trades for aging CBs.
  12. People are judging the players against each other, and in this case, Fitzpatrick is a better player than Ramsay at this point. But the Fins just traded their #1 CB and #1TE for a Safety. That's a bad trade and it doesn't matter how good the safety is.
  13. Lawrence is such an interesting case. All the physical gifts are there, but he lacks mental resilience. I think that vaunted 68-game winning streak in high school and college meant that he never learned to pick himself off the mat. It just came so easy for him; he was always the best guy on the best team. When the losing started in Jacksonville, a sort of apathy set in from which he has yet to recover. It also doesn't help that the entire organization in Jacksonville seems like an afterthought. If Jacksonville decides to cut bait and he goes to the Steelers next offseason, I think we might see a Mayfield-like resurrection.
  14. Exactly. Wealthy people don't go broke. They declare bankruptcy all the time and keep their jets and houses. They stash half in the Caymen's or in Switzerland and declate themselves broke to get out of paying debts. Then they do it again in a few years.
