You wouldn't have a football team without Russ Brandon and Jeff Littman, so yes they should stay. Ever wonder who convinced the owners to agree to the non-relocation clause and $400 million penalty? Jeff Littman and Russ Brandon did it.

Because they can sell each franchise for $2 billion and that means each owner gets a $125 million check. That's like four years of profits for a small market team. They can charge maybe $500 million in relocation fees if a team moves to LA. Not to mention there would be increased viewership in LA and London which wouldn't water down the TV contracts too much.

http://profootballta...s-angeles-memo/ The league has been telling teams not to make plans to move to LA. I'm guessing the NFL is gearing up for expansion soon, especially with all the talk of teams being in LA and London within a couple years. Expansion teams would make the league far more money than moving a team.

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen [Muslims],—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan [Mohammedan] nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli 1797 It seems like 100% of the Senate and John Adams disagree with you. Also, you claim many of the Founders belonged to these religions, yet many expressed very strong deistic tendencies. Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Cornelius Harnett, Gouverneur Morris, Hugh Williamson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Ethan Allen all showed strong deistic influence in their writing. Even George Washington avoided using the word "god" and instead used the Deist word providence. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Bible also tells us we have a right to slaves. It also tells us that women are inferior, and shouldn't be in a position of authority over a man.

They weren't speaking of a Christian god. Thomas Payne's http://en.wikipedia....e_Age_of_Reason makes that very clear. As does Thomas Jefferson's http://en.wikipedia....son's_Bible . Or maybe the Treaty of Tripoli that was written by John Adams and unanimously ratified by Congress in 1797. "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen [Muslims],—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan [Mohammedan] nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_tripoli

Sorry, but the courts have ruled that you are wrong. If you want to put them up you have to also allow other religions to put up their own monument. That would include the FSM, Islam, Satanism, and Buddhism. Here's the Satanism monument going in the Oklahoma Statehouse: http://www.vice.com/...omas-statehouse How do you pinpoint a religious fanatic? When they belittle other religions but hold theirs sacrosanct.

It was supposedly during a non-tackling drill.

That Cowboys defender deserved to get his ass kicked.

Kelly shouldn't even be brought up in discussions like these. He had previous professional experience before coming to the NFL.

The Bills and Steelers both agreed to do it.

Is that Dick Jauron?

Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason.

He's 5-11 200 pounds and facing defensive ends that are big enough to play tackle in college. There's a reason it's incredibly rare for a QB to play in the NFL at that size. If you don't think he will fumble the ball when Mario Williams crushes him, you would be wrong. I was just pointing out that it isn't all sunshine and rainbows for a short QB. There are serious disadvantages to being below 6 feet.

If the Bills believe Henderson is better than Pears then he will be out there. It would be foolish not to play your two best tackles.

It's not like Russell Wilson doesn't have any disadvantages because of his size. He fumbled the ball 10 times last year, which is 3rd in the NFL. What makes it even worse is that most of the guys around him have hundreds of additional pass attempts. Wilson also has far more muscle than Johnny Football which helps his small frame take a pounding. I expect JF to fumble a lot and hit the IR early.

and there it is.

They're a historical code of religious laws. It's clearly unconstitutional unless you want to put up a Sharia law plaque and the Flying Spaghetti monster's creed.

What would any NFL team do if their starting QB got hurt?

wallstreetcheatsheet.com? Sounds like I should respect their opinions about football.

Really? The facts state otherwise, as trades are actually pretty rare in the NFL. Trade rumors are far more prevalent than actual trades. http://espn.go.com/b...des-are-so-rare

Nah man. His agent is clearly a class four poltergeist and is drumming up trade interest from beyond the grave.

Yet no one has actually filed a complaint. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/08/league-office-has-received-no-complaints-about-blandinos-visit-to-cowboys/

According to PFT the job he has basically entails him socializing with all 32 teams. I'm not sure if he goes on a party bus with everyone, though.

They would have at least listened to offers for him instead of immediately saying no, if they were truly trying to unload him.

They want to get rid of the guy so badly they wouldn't even listen to trade offers for him.
