[weak gull]

Most def went back to NE

[rustic mountain]

No that's just out of order

We traded him to Minnesota, weeks later he was waived for criticism of Brad Childress

Then Tennessee was the only team to put a claim on him

[weak gull]

Unfortunate

Screw Brad Childress, but yeah. It’s outta order. MB

[rustic mountain]

No worries I was just like

"Am I THAT old I don't remember"

[weak gull]

I figured it was after you made the comment. And I recalled the dolphins beat down from that year

In which Randy was still oddly enough a story line. So he was def on the pats

[rustic mountain]

He was for a bit. Hell just before that he had that one handed catch on Revis

To this day I'll never understand why Bill traded him

[weak gull]

I mean, from the looks of how things shook out rest of the way, Bill for once made the right call on a Wideout needing to go

[rustic mountain]

Maybe but coulda seen what we had left. Idk

[weak gull]

Plus NE didn’t need him at the time tbh. They were great, just ran into quite the game from those Jets

[rustic mountain]

I think Moss had something left with us

Ugg

Those Jets

God damn I go like a week or two then I am reminded of hating new york sports teams

[weak gull]

I mean, things were made up for after that 3 or so years of the jets being damn good

[rustic mountain]

Nothing is enough when it comes to the Jets

[weak gull]

Firmly believe those Jets could’ve took those packers with that run game being much better towards the end of the year

[rustic mountain]

I am glad that they never got a chance to tbg

Tbh

[weak gull]

They held them to 9 in the first game, mark Sanchez just couldn’t stop being a dumbass

[rustic mountain]

A Jets sb appearance would pain me pretty hard

Only thing worse at this junction would be a Bills sb appearance

Need to get my fuck Josh Allen shirt made

[weak gull]

The Bills will have a window long as Allen is healthy. You may have to see that one soon

[rustic mountain]

A man can dream of the sudden and hilarious drop off of Josh Allen, can't he?

[weak gull]

Sad, jets are my afc East team but I can’t stand rodgers

[unkempt junco]

I’m at the Mexico vs Panama game

[rustic mountain]

I hope Rodgers comes out flat af

[weak gull]

I kinda do too, although that definitely means the bills win the division. Which I’m kinda eh on

I can’t trust the phins although the roster should manage a decent showing

[smoky fable]

What would you think of Miami?

[smoky fable]

Hope Tua stays healthy.

[weak gull]

I screamed Herbert’s name from the rooftops but I knew the phins were going tua

Vividly remember wanting the lions to trade back if young was gone but still took okudah

[smoky fable]

Go Panama

[dim ledge]

[smoky fable]

I wish they did

[solid dagger]

And no one from the team is even remotely close to being a regular player in Serie A

That's depressing ngl

[celest zephyr]

Just like Luigi can dream that Mario is going to fall off someday

Belicheck cries every night that he has to watch cam newton, mac jones and bailey zappe tape instead of Tom Brady

[robust grotto]

Wym!! Luigi isn’t jealous

Plus Luigi saved him in the mansion remember

[weak gull]

Should he have used wario instead? I think he was just going for the solid joke with the Luigi pfp n all ya know

[robust grotto]

Ooo maybe but true lol good call

[celest zephyr]

It just worked with the pfp

Top seats are the best

[smoky fable]

Probably should have kept AJ brown

Probably

Because once Henry falls off completely, that offense is sunk

[weak gull]

Literally this. They actually drafted 2 good ones in AJ and Davis ( separated by some years)

But easily had an ideal 1/2 combo for a run heavy offense

Both are good run blockers too

[smoky fable]

They have Burks who I liked but still.

[weak gull]

But instead they are overpaying Tannehill, Landry and Autry.

[smoky fable]

Did not know they over paid for Autry

[weak gull]

Only Byard and Henry (who is underpaid for how much he Carries that team) live up to their cap hits imo

[smoky fable]

I know they extended Simmons which was the right move

[smoky fable]

I thought Landry was good for them?

[weak gull]

Injured all last year. No telling if he has that same get off he did in 21

[smoky fable]

Ah an injury

[weak gull]

Especially as what I’d consider a finesse rusher

Autry is overpaid for a guy who doesn’t even start all season. Makes almost 10 mil

[smoky fable]

Wonder if being next to Simmons overinflated his value

[weak gull]

Most definitely did. Simmons is one of few I’d consider a top 5

3/4 end or DT

Not many play both exceptionally well

Titans cap will be fine come next year though, so it’s nbd to them probably. No way they extend Tanny at this rate right?

[rustic ore]

Oops

https://vxtwitter.com/Jolly_Olive/status/1680713858921426945

There we go

[weak gull]

I still like burks tbh. He’s a fit for them. I just don’t see anyone else there though. Okonkwu can be a decent Tight end but he lacks In blocking

[smoky fable]

And it’s a home run deep left by Castellanos…..

Funny whenever the announcer jinx hits

He was just dead inside

[rustic ore]

If the Titans don't have a QB they don't have a team, simple as that

Henry is still solid but he's gonna be regressing here shortly

[weak gull]

Better hope mayo boy is good then😂

[rustic ore]

Indeed

[weak gull]

Cause tanny has this and next year and it’d be stupid to extend that man

[rustic ore]

I don't see anyone challenging the Jags for the AFCS crown this season rn

[weak gull]

Hell, they can cut him free of charge after this year

[rustic ore]

Mind you the AFCS is still a garbage division but the Jags have hands down the best QB/roster in the division rn

[weak gull]

Jags win that division by 2/3 games easy imo

[rustic ore]

Fair bet

Short of Indy getting hard carried by a healthy D and Taylor I can't really see anyone taking it from them this year short of a surprise

[smoky fable]

If Richardson has a jump, maybe the colts. But doubt it

And Texans are still lacking a talented roster and I hope they lose every single game

This year

[weak gull]

Yeah. One of those two rookies would have to blow me away, and although I think stroud will be fine, there isn’t enough in Houston

AR could be good, but I think it will be late year before it clicks

I hope the Texans lose every game forever

[rustic ore]

AR is raw as sin, he needs a couple years

Plus Indy doesn't have any receiver worth a damn rn, maybe Pittman Jr but I still haven't seen anything from him to make me believe he's a #1

[weak gull]

I actually do think Pittman is a #1. Not an elite 1, but could be very good with a more solid core around him

Need Indy to understand you need more than 1 competent pass catcher. Since the manning days were done they’ve only had 1 guy who I’d say starts on other teams

No doubt he's a great young player but nowdays you just need one good season and you're worth 50/60M minimum

I hate this

Crazy how we could be going for Balogun or David for just 10 mil more yet a bid was put down for Lukaku

[thorn hornet]

He isn't even that good lmao there's a chance to increase the price and we should go for it

20 goals in France I don't rate that

We can easily get 45 mil plus 30-40% sell on clause

Forwards market is so dry

Nelson got injured again

We need to look to sign someone

I would hate it if we went for Felix

3 games above the yankees? By god Christmas has come early

And the angels have won as many games in their past 10 games as the tanking Oakland A’s

Who also have 25 wins so far

The pirates and angels falling off of a cliff was the most expected thing this season

[rustic mountain]

Now we need Baltimore and Tampa to take a tumble

Houston too

The Rays gotta be sweating so bad

The Orioles are a game back

[thorn hornet]

Same goes for food

[celest zephyr]

I’m just praying for the yankees to continue to fall off of a cliff

And the mariners to continue underperforming

Orioles and rays likely both make it in

Astros just need to find any semblance of form and they are a shoe in

Man the red Sox are on a scorcher sheesh same record as the yankees

Only real contention is the rest of the al east and the Astros

[rustic mountain]

Without Judge the Yankees are nothing

The Mariners are dead

Orioles and Rays will make it but if they both collapse just a bit and the Jays find some way to just stay consistent

We could on a very outside chance be looking at an al east title

But in the mean time

Look at that 5th place baby

Padres and the Mets are like blood brothers this year

[robust grotto]

Every time I see “blood brothers” I think of an educational video we watched in 1st grade where two boys ended up finding a needle in the woods and thought it was a good idea to cut their thumbs, press the wounds together, and become blood brothers

[proud coyote]

Did they become tetanus brothers too?? Lmao what

Or maybe hepatitis brothers?

[robust grotto]

I wish I could tell you the end of the story

Lmfao just wild, one of those things you watch at 7 years old or whatever and just have absolutely no concept on why anyone would think that’s cool or important

[proud coyote]

That will never leave my brain

Whenever I see blood brothers I’ll think of that now

[robust grotto]

Which is exactly why I had to repeat it hahaha

[rustic mountain]

Those old educational videos are always so fucking wild dude

I had to take a gun safety course and they had this video where like a dude shot and killed his dad and like it showed his dad in the hospital guilt tripping his son and saying how he should have taken a safety course as he bleeds out and dies

I didn't even like guns or hunting or anything, my dad made me take because Idaho

Highly doubt. Just thought they would come to something with how important he proved to be

You're right it'll be 15+

Happened to virtually every running back after their extensions

[rustic mountain]

Running back is a bad thing to invest in man

[weak gull]

2017 class really had a lackluster showing

[weak gull]

Seriously.. only Dalvin lived up really and still got the boot

[smoky fable]

Yeah he did

[rustic mountain]

It's just a disposable position

99% of the time

You can get 800 yards out of a decent level back

[weak gull]

There are 2/3 offenses where I say “they need that back”

[smoky fable]

Titans are one

[weak gull]

Titans, Chargers, Giants as of rn

[rustic mountain]

100%

And even then, there hasnt been playoff success to really say that's a good way to do shit

Hell Kansas City has a revolving door at running back

[weak gull]

Yep, hell the eagles were back by committee if I’m being 100% honest

[rustic mountain]

New England had 1k yard rusher in Mondre but like

He can't be the focal point

[smoky fable]

They’ll have to be this year too since I don’t trust Swift to stay healthy

[rustic mountain]

1k rushing in Matt Patricia's offense was a fucking miracle

[weak gull]

Swift will play 8-10 great games, but you will not have him for 7-9 of em

[smoky fable]

Pacheco will be the starter but yeah I see your point

[rustic mountain]

He will for a while but how long?

Tyreek Hill was a running back for a second too

How long til Pacheco bounces outside

[smoky fable]

???

[weak gull]

Tyreek was the most gadget type player I’ve seen coming out of college

Oklahoma state had him for 2 games til he did some stupid shit😭

He looked electric though

[smoky fable]

It was like Percy Harvin

[rustic mountain]

Tyreek Hill?? Doing suspect shit?? But being so talented he gets more chances??

[weak gull]

Pacheco will be in kc til the contracts out obviously. But I really think if Reid’s there it could be longer. He’s the type of back Andy likes.

[rustic mountain]

Clearly the NFL would never do such thing

[weak gull]

Well Gundy kicked tyreek off the team ASAP. He went back down the college ranks after that

But yeah, nfl clearly doesn’t care

[smoky fable]

They do not

[rustic mountain]

I stg every year the nfl has some shit that makes me go

[smoky fable]

Watson comes to mind with that contract

[rustic mountain]

"I really need to stop watching this shit"

[weak gull]

There’s no established protocol for these crazy instances. Which is fine, you can’t predict everything I suppose

But then y’all just give slaps on the wrist? Like wtf

If ANYTHING AT ALL

[rustic mountain]

They gave out harsher punishment to Brady for something that he didn't even fucking do

Than people who have legit cases against them

[weak gull]

Really wondering what the vikes are going to look like without cook tbh

[rustic mountain]

They obviously think good enough

That poverty franchise, my soft spot aside, pisses me off

[weak gull]

A lot of unproven pieces on that offense

[rustic mountain]

JJ and Hockenson the only ones Id trust

[weak gull]

Mattison has been solid before but he’s still never been cook

Addison I liked, but still a rook.

JJ a beast obviously, Hock is solid, but that’s it now imo

[rustic mountain]

Hockenson just needs to be solid imo

I think if the vikes find a good player in Addison

It'll be good. Well as good as Cousins is

[weak gull]

Man…I really will be sad if the Lions don’t take this fucking division this year😂

[rustic mountain]

If the Lions don't take the North, it will be a disappointment

Even by Lions standards

[weak gull]

Frfr

[smoky fable]

NFC north is the most unpredictable division to predict at this point

So yes it is their opportunity

[celest zephyr]

Same with the niners before getting cmc

Didn’t even think they need him

Really just praying for someone to not get injured

At qb

[thorn hornet]

@robust grotto West Ham eyeing Goretzka wtf

[celest zephyr]

Can we just go one fucking season where there aren’t multiple QBs playing a significant part of the season?

[thorn hornet]

Not to alarm you

But he fell off since his knee got fucked

[celest zephyr]

I go Indy also

Sure they have Richardson but beyond that

Yeah its a barren

Some decent pieces sure but no one that can carry the offense

Tbh chargers aren’t that desparate for a defining back

They have a piss missile firer in Herbert

[robust grotto]

Not gonna happen so next

[weak gull]

The chargers offensive efficiency tanks when ekeler leaves the field

Ekeler is not only their number 1 back, but is damn near their number 2 receiver at this point. They barely ever reach the redzone if he’s off a drive

Colts probably should be in there too as well

Not to mention ekeler rarely misses in pass protection, if he gets beat it’s usually due to his size

[thorn hornet]

Plettigoal is reliable

I mean he did say that Rice,Havertz were going to Bayern

I take it back

[celest zephyr]

Really just speaks to what ekeler does for them

It’s like deebo for the niners before cmc

A guy who kinda does both for them

And really to be completely honest they could probably survive having him more as a wr and going rb by committee

For me its more of a team that needs a rb to do what a rb does best: run the crap out of the football and block

The titans prior to d hop had only a few passable WRs and also a mediocre qb

The colts are bringing in a young rookie qb who ain’t the most accurate or polished coming out of college. They really need a safety net for him and that’s Jonathan Taylor

[weak gull]

Idk, I think Ekeler is a “need that back” kinda guy for the chargers. Man’s is 1700 yards of offense for them

Giants, colts, titans for sure

If ekeler was to leave LA today. Chargers are a 7/8 win team imo. Same applies to the other teams there if not worse is how I view it

[hasty mesa]

Sad day but

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise

It means our GM plays hardball

And won’t overpay in these conditions

As for if Barkley plays, he has more reasons to play than not

Money, legacy

He’ll just miss training camp

[rustic mountain]

As long as he doesn't pull a LeVeon Bell

[hasty mesa]

If he sits out due to pride well

Yeah

It is what it is

[rustic mountain]

Which seeing the decline Bell had, I doubt he will

[weak gull]

Other teams, if I take their number 1 back, I don’t see the drop in wins I think I would from others.

Ekeler does more for the chargers than any other player on that offense not named Herbert. And Herbert struggles when he’s out

Not to say that can’t change going into next year.

Herby still has a step or two to take

[hasty mesa]

Without Barkley I still believe we’re a wild card team. It’s just less confirmed

[weak gull]

Oh I can’t see that at all. 6-8 wins for the gmen with no saquon imo

[hasty mesa]

I think people outside the Giants org think we go to square one without him which isn’t true

[short flame]

Nice fan?

[weak gull]

They don’t go to square one in general, but they are way not wildcard imo

[short flame]

Never been impressed by Barkley tbh

[hasty mesa]

It’s not way not wildcard

[short flame]

He’s ok for a mid table club but not more than that

[hasty mesa]

It’s a matter of instead of our range this year being 9-8 and 11-6

It’s like 7-10 and 9-8

[weak gull]

Gmen without saquon, I’d say they lose wildcard to whoever is second in the north at that point

[hasty mesa]

Also the point is semi-moot because I really don’t think Barkley goes Leveon Bell

The FO don’t think so either I think

[short flame]

Just realized you’re probably not talking Ross Barkley

[hasty mesa]

Oh lol

[short flame]

Never mind

[weak gull]

He is not 💀💀

[short flame]

[hasty mesa]

But yeah he’s gonna be tagged

I’m like 95% confident

[short flame]

Barkley 2 stealing Ross’s name

[weak gull]

Im not doing this to be an ass, this is general

moot = debatable. Idk how the definition has been construed all these years in sports

Barkley is not Bell though, I think he will be okay

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

I think Barkley knows his best bet is to live, breathe and die Big Blue

He saw what happened w Cook

Bell

[weak gull]

I just think he should go where his need is clear (applies to any back atp)

It’s clear in NY, stay there if pay is your concern

Idk why any Giants fan wouldn't be rooting for a player to take up less cap space with less risk involved as well.

Saquon Barkley will play for the Giants this year and help them win games. Giants get to have their cake and eat it too.

Also yeah I’m 99% sure whatever NY is offering is the most money he’s gonna get from anywhere

2023 and 2024

[weak gull]

It’s jus the scope of things. Fans want to see players get paid for their well being. Obviously it’s a business though

[hasty mesa]

In 5 years we might be calling Schoen a genius

But we’ll see

[weak gull]

Definitely, I think they are likely accounting for everything.

Someone could offer more if needy, but who is to say ya know? Nothing guaranteed

[hasty mesa]

Here’s the thing though

He didn’t sign any deal

Does he think maybe 2 tags is better?

1 tag and come back for a deal better?

[weak gull]

No clue, I haven’t done the math to see next years tag

[hasty mesa]

He may be banking on the market getting better

Gamble? Yeah

Impossible? No

[weak gull]

It could, 2017 threw the market to hell lol

Idk who needs to be resigned from the 18/19 classes though

I mean teams who need a back to be solid are saying fuck it. King Henry is right, something gotta be done probably

[rustic mountain]

While I agree get the bag, it's really clear running back isn't a premier spot

Idk they deserve more but as much as like a wide out or qb or hell even a Kelce level tight end? Nah

[weak gull]

That’s fine, but the shelf life is becoming less than the average career of 3-5 years

Idk what to do but that’s a problem

[hasty mesa]

Here’s the thing

I think smart GMs want to build a team now that doesn’t need a good back

Build a solid roster so that you throw your Pacheco’s back there and all is good

Not saying Pacheco isn’t a dawg

[weak gull]

Get that, but that’s not my point. The problem is what monster has hinted at before. The position isn’t just dying now, it’s dead. Costing players. The CBA likely is going to do something on this

[hasty mesa]

Agreed

It’s sad tbh

Who woulda saw that not working out eh Bell?

[weak gull]

Bro was running behind what was the 2nd best o line in the league at that time too

[rustic mountain]

Not that Bell woulda put Pittsburgh over the top of us ever

But I gotta say

Him sitting out made things easier

So shout out to Lev

[weak gull]

I agree, but at the same time the decline of the Steelers o line due to age did more than anything

And Bens bum ass

Fuck Big Ben

[rustic mountain]

Agreeee

[rustic ore]

Man looked the gift horse in the mouth, it bit him

Sucks to suck

[weak gull]

Connor took advantage of the last that elite line had to give at the time

[rustic ore]

Good on him too

Seems like a great guy

Great story too

Continuing his football career after beating cancer

[weak gull]

Meanwhile Bell went to try and rap, and he was terrible

I remember Keenan Allen tried to be honest to him about it and he just got mad

[rustic ore]

And now he’s an amateur boxer right?

[weak gull]

Zero clue tbh

[celest zephyr]

Nfl should get rid of franchise tags

I’ve never liked them ever

[weak gull]

100% AGREE

[smoky fable]

He’s always straight with players. Had to delete something quickly too on something if I remember

[weak gull]

Worst thing in sports contract wise imo

[celest zephyr]

For sure no question

Just have rfas and ufas like every other sport

[smoky fable]

Didn’t think you’d have the perspective of not paying the running backs the money they want.

With what you said about Barkley too with those gifs

[rustic mountain]

They do

Franchise tag is pretty awful imo

[weak gull]

Think he’s saying all together with no tag at all

[rustic mountain]

And it has never worked out the way most teams wNt it to

Just making sure

Rfas aren't too common

Some

But it's mostly ufas and franchise tags that admittedly are getting used less

The running back situation is weird tbh

[weak gull]

I really think backs should be paid to an extent, there are just few that are genuinely worth paying if I was to start a franchise because it’s hard to stay healthy at that spot too

Literally only Henry has all the requirements imo.

[rustic mountain]

Like it's apparent very few offenses are using them but the ones that do are trying to downplay their importance. Idk how that gets fixed

[celest zephyr]

Yeah for sure just get rid of tags also

[short flame]

My god I’m really just besides the sea I’ll show some photos in a bit

[celest zephyr]

Dope

[rustic mountain]

That's the deal is like who is really worth oaying

Paying

[celest zephyr]

Cmc got paid the bag

And ngl I’m not a fan at all

[weak gull]

Nic Chubb is close but health gets him sometimes too

[rustic mountain]

Cmc also can do more than just run

[celest zephyr]

Tbh even guys who are hybrid players like deebo i question cuz the physicality really wears out on aguy’s durability

[weak gull]

First time chubbs played a full season since 19’ so that takes him down a peg

[celest zephyr]

He can but he’s also had a lengthy injury history

[rustic mountain]

Running Back is a tolling position. It's partly why most teams do by committee

[celest zephyr]

Yeah i think thast’s better

[weak gull]

I wouldn’t pay cmc only cause health. If he had a cleaner history then it’d be easier for other niners folks to eat that contract

[celest zephyr]

It’s why Chubb and hunt have excelled so well together

[weak gull]

But right now you just have to wait and see which sucks

[short flame]

Just say you’re too old it’s ok

[celest zephyr]

And jones and Dillon are amazing

Yeah for sure

I’d be ecstatic if he was more healthy but then he’d also probably still be a panther

[weak gull]

Chubb is a lone man again this season I thought?

Unless someone steps up

[hasty mesa]

Here’s the thing right

[weak gull]

Taylor’s gonna get fucked too if he misses time again

[hasty mesa]

The Super Bowl doesn’t help either

If you lock in a QB and build around him, you win a SB

That’s the narrative

You throw any decent back, one you picked up in the 7th round for instance

In a good roster

You’re fine

Injury risk means second contracts are harder

I think the only solution is to change Rookie RB contract duration

So that they get their second contract earlier in career

In their prime

Then we’ll see better numbers/guarantees imo

[celest zephyr]

Right yeah they got rid of hunt

I get that but also that’s every pick lmao

Like its hard to change the standard

And you can’t say oh he’s a rb so he doesn’t get the same contract as every other guy in that round

[hasty mesa]

Who is in rotation this off-season at RB?

Jacobs, Barkley, Fournette, Cook

These are insane names

But teams are saying we don’t need you THAT bad

[celest zephyr]

Well yeh if its like 10 plus mill a year I’m GOOD

[hasty mesa]

Because the reality is, if that cap space is used elsewhere

They don’t

[celest zephyr]

Plus RBs are so line dependent

[hasty mesa]

^

[weak gull]

I mean, an elite qb has won what? 16 outta the last 20

Narrative has been get the right QB for a while now. Just think now, teams view RBs as disposable if they aren’t elite with a relatively clean bill of health which only one guy really fits

[hasty mesa]

Apparently you can come off your best season ever as an RB but if your team has other plans for the future you aren’t getting paid

So you accept a lower rate or play on the tag year by year

[weak gull]

Are we referring to saquon there? If so, it’s health related partially I’m sure for them

[hasty mesa]

I’m speaking in general

Vikings didn’t even tag Cook

Unless he wasn’t eligible to be tagged

I forgot

The point is is that I’m not faulting GMs at all, I’m faulting the structure of the NFL as it is and how something needs to be done w the position

Literally don’t hate the player, hate the game

[weak gull]

This was dalvin’s first full season and it wasn’t his best even. His 2020 was peak

Dalvins health ain’t ever been amazing unfortunately

[hasty mesa]

Cook is less efficient on Vikings than Barkley to Gmen yeah

Raiders w Jacobs it’s like

They’re in a full rebuild

But they tagged him?

So idk

[weak gull]

The raiders should be rebuilding, they’re making just a smart move imo

[hasty mesa]

It’s just weird and I feel for the RBs

[weak gull]

If they look ass this year they probably hit the drawing board again

[hasty mesa]

But at the same time I’m happy with Schoen

[hasty mesa]

Jimmy is a placeholder for sure

[celest zephyr]

Really getting rid of tags would help a lot

[hasty mesa]

I’m fine with that

[celest zephyr]

Cuz then you either pay the guy or you let em walk

[hasty mesa]

Don’t hate the game hate the player

[celest zephyr]

Also ngl kinda feel the same way with corners

[hasty mesa]

Plus maybe having the RBs test the market makes them more satisfied taking a deal w their current team

[celest zephyr]

Like there are few corners worth paying that much for me

[hasty mesa]

I thought CBs get paid

[celest zephyr]

Yeah they do

[hasty mesa]

I don’t see an issue

[celest zephyr]

Idk i just don’t feel like paying one the big bucks is really the best idea

[hasty mesa]

Oh I guess

But corner is a premium position

A very hard one too

[celest zephyr]

Yeh and there’s a lot of guys coming up the works who are good at it

Fair enough ig

[hasty mesa]

It’s like

QB is top dollar

So Danny Dimes is getting paid 40, which is a lot

[weak gull]

It’s 50/50 with corner, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t

Thing with corner is you need a tandem. One guy ain’t gone do it

[celest zephyr]

Just not a fan when the 49ers love paying mediocre corners and having a revolving door in their secondary

[hasty mesa]

But only because the next minute Hurts is getting 50

[celest zephyr]

Yeah for sure

[hasty mesa]

Lawrence and Burrow will get even more

So in reality the 40 isn’t crazy

[celest zephyr]

So like paying two combined close to 40 mill is quite a pretty penny

[hasty mesa]

It’ll be slightly above average pay for a slightly above average QB (Jones)

[celest zephyr]

Plus you need depth at the position in case someone gets hurt

[weak gull]

Very, and it’s shown it can work, but it isn’t the best route.

[hasty mesa]

Yeah I feel

Who did the Niners draft this year?

[weak gull]

Well they didn’t pick til the third. Took a kicker tight end and safety in the third though

[celest zephyr]

Luter jr at corner

[weak gull]

Yep, no other cb. I did like Luter though fwiw

[rustic ore]

Hey man, all power to any RB worth a damn maximizing his respective value come contract time, I’m also aware of the fact that every team that pays big bucks to an RB ends up regretting it at some point

[weak gull]

Speaking of corner, I wonder what AJ terrells contract will look like

[hasty basin]

Seems like a forgotten memory in my mind

[celest zephyr]

Cursed

No clue. Hopefully the niners pick him up for like 12 ish mill a year

[celest zephyr]

He prob stays with the falcons though

[weak gull]

AJ may require more than that if he somehow hits FA

Becoming best CB in the league imo

[rustic ore]

He’ll get 20 or more I imagine

[celest zephyr]

We really needed two tes and lbs

Yeah know he would

Just praying to get him for dirt cheap

Cuz we ain’t got the most cap space inthe world

[weak gull]

Still sad Patricia drove out slay

Then we dealt him for half a sandwich

[celest zephyr]

Wish you kept him

Then the eagles would be worse

[weak gull]

Same

[rustic ore]

I feel for RBs, I really do, but their position is the most injury prone every year and the most easily replaceable

And pretty much every team that pays their RBs big bucks ends up regretting it at some point

[rustic mountain]

Trade him to the blue jays

[rustic mountain]

Bruh we would have to give up so much

Id rather keep prospects like Tiedmann

Tiedmann and Barger would be gonezo

[proud coyote]

I dunno if he’d sign there either

Anyone trading for him needs it essentially written that he’ll sign

[rustic mountain]

Give him to San Francisco

Make up for Arson Judge

[proud coyote]

The world is not so kind

[rustic mountain]

not that giants fans are crying too much seeing how that immediately blew up in New York's face

[proud coyote]

I am fully expecting him to be a Dodger

[rustic mountain]

Nahh I don't think so. At least not this year

[proud coyote]

If it means we can sign Ohtani, I’ll never think about Arson again

[proud coyote]

I don’t think anyone will be trading for him at the deadline

The price will just be too high

[rustic mountain]

Ohtani in thr NL would be a dream come true since I know he aint ever becoming a Blue Jay

Price will be way high

Basically like you said you're gonna need some kind of guarantee

Tbh Los Angeles shoulda traded him last year

Now they are more than likely not gonna get shit

[celest zephyr]

Ohtani about o walk for nothing

Yeah they need an agreement that he’d sign there

[proud coyote]

Yeah, they definitely should have but they had delusions of competing and keeping him, and frankly with a player like him I can’t blame them

[celest zephyr]

Or they’d be pulling a kawhi to the raptors move

[proud coyote]

But they’re just too incompetently run

[torn gale]

NBA fans are unrivaled in the drama department

[proud coyote]

it’s more that nobody actually cares about the conflict anymore besides narrative devourers

[celest zephyr]

Yeah whatever embiid balled out

Come up with a new story

Literally is meant for clickbait like every video on YouTube.

[celest zephyr]

But other videos don’t always explictly have a narrative in their video title?

Wow. Those long shots are something and those assists were nice too. I guess Juba will be happy with Nkunku hopefully since he popped up a lot. He definitely seems like a player that’ll contribute.

[dim ledge]

Yep, Szobo has a boot and is very technical. Nkunku is excellent at pace/strength and positioning

As you see though

Szobo assisted him alot so it's a question if nkunku can get that service at Chels

Hope for his sake he does

Just seeing the home kit vs the away kit is just night and day for Arsenal. Even with the inspiration, that’s just bad

I'm legitimately sorry

This rivals spurs last season which is saying something

At least your homes are lovely. Hopefully your thirds are nice

[dim ledge]

No I'm sorry. It's worse

[burnt cedar]

They haven’t even used the right shade of green for Islington

Last season we had the best kits in the league

the black kit sold out 5 times and I still couldn’t get one

[hasty basin]

I...don't really like it.

[burnt cedar]

Adidas wanted to lose money that’s the only reason they made this kit

[hasty basin]

Damn man this years' kits might be

The first ones I don't like much

[dim ledge]

Yeah the black and bronze were very nice

[burnt cedar]

A neon green kit with black squiggly lines that are supposed to the wards of Islington

I feel very represented right now

Trying to figure out where my ward is on the kit

[hasty basin]

Home kit very plain as well

[hasty basin]

Wtf

Solomon #72 Maddison #71

[hasty basin]

Well Spurs are shite safe to say

Or West Ham is cooking a lot

[dim ledge]

@proud coyote £70m bid for Caicedo submitted

Lower end of their demand

[proud coyote]

Really hope we get him

[thorn hornet]

Brighton want 100 mil

Might go for 120 after Rice transfer

[proud coyote]

I’m sure they’ll reject the 70

[thorn hornet]

100 mil for a guy with 45 PL apps is crazyyyy

[proud coyote]

But 120 is insane

[thorn hornet]

Too early to judge but

Vicario is ass

[dim ledge]

Imo the accepted bid will be in the 80-90+ bonuses range

I'm shocked we got MacAllister for that cheap

[dim ledge]

Tottenham losing

[short flame]

What did you expect

[hasty basin]

1st goal Vicario should have saved

2nd nah

Fabianski is cooking though

[hasty basin]

So I'm not the only one that thinks this guy is mad overrated?

[robust grotto]

We don’t have many first teamers that even went to Australia so

[thorn hornet]

He would be underrated if he wasn't so priced

[hasty basin]

Well yea?

But the prices I see put on him are just crazy

[burnt cedar]

Hope United don’t get Hojlund

[robust grotto]

People actually calling WH greedy for demanding 100m is gold tbh

Sorry we’re ass at selling players and never sold anyone for more than like 20m before. God forbid we have an opportunity to sell someone for significant profit

[hasty basin]

If you pull it off it's just good business

Lol

[short flame]

Honestly as long as it’s my money going into it I don’t care how much a player is paid

Understand Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana has ruptured his ACL and will require surgery after undergoing a scan. 🏥#CFC

[celest zephyr]

Could have made more in profits over 2 years if you weren’t so busy getting relegated

Juba is a Chelsea fan? Dang we could start a war in this channel

[dim ledge]

The war would result in a two party system because of staff (Juba and I) where everyone who doesn't support one of those clubs (Chelsea or Liverpool) are silenced and removed from public eye

[proud coyote]

Man I feel sorry for him not me

What a shit outcome

[dim ledge]

Glory to the mighty reds

Yeah I think he had an injury last season too. Poor fellow

[proud coyote]

Arsenal repression and removal, crucify senchou ajay and display him in the town square

🚨 Medical sources inside Chelsea state that Fofana’s injury is “very serious.” We’re looking at multiple months out & possibly the entire season, the source said.

It’s thought the Fofana injury does not effect Trevoh Chalobah’s move away from the club.

Mussolini style

[hasty basin]

I mean if they kept Chalobah, they're not serious

That guy. Is ass.

[robust grotto]

[proud coyote]

We’re trying to sell him

Or more like are open to selling him?

[dim ledge]

As you should especially with Colwill coming on

[proud coyote]

I have no idea at this point

[dim ledge]

It's up to Poch to convince him though

[proud coyote]

Trevoh is not trash but he’s certainly not good

[dim ledge]

Championship is his level, respectfully

[hasty basin]

The correct choice

I'd not take him in our defence and let me tell ya

Our defence is not good

[short flame]

They haven’t been relegated in 12 years

[hasty basin]

I guess I'm talking more in past tense but still

Sad this had to happen to Fofana though man

Poor guy

[short flame]

Happy birthday to the little guy

[celest zephyr]

Correction getting nearly relegated

Could actually build a competent team

Around a guy who apparently is worth 100 mill in a transfer

Like imo any team that is really trying to win doesn’t give up a talented 24 year old who could be a massive part of their future

I get that money is a crap ton but man that’s the type of decision you make to tread water

And not to try to win the prem or at least even crack the top 5/6

[short flame]

I get that it’s bad to lose the player but that money could help them get 2-3 good players to build for their future. They won’t crack the top 6 but there’s an Europa league coming and they can go for it. It’s also way more money than the guy is actually worth so business wise it’s a good decision. But this isn’t a team that should be battling for relegation and I don’t know what they’re doing wrong tbh. This fanbase is the second best in London they should have a more competitive side

[celest zephyr]

Yeah i get what you mean

Once you get offered way more than a guy is worth, then it starts trending up

Yeh i just figured that suffering for another two seasons is the last thing their fans want

Barely avoiding the dreaded relegation zone

[robust grotto]

Football is just different you can’t compare it to other sports but unfortunately for us we’d be basically holding the man hostage if we kept him any longer. It was a mutual respect with how everything played out. If he really wanted to, he could’ve had a fit 2 years back and gotten transferred out

He have a lot of off field issues though

The standard of the club needs to raise, even these 3 years in Europe

[short flame]

I think he doesn’t have much time left on his contract so he either went now or for free next summer as they can’t match the contract he wants

[robust grotto]

Yeah it was now or never

[short flame]

You should be battling for top 6 I don’t know what’s going wrong

Are you interested in a shit right back but that is good at throw ins?

[robust grotto]

Idek where to start but top 6 is tough, there’s so many good teams. Ideally they need to be a top half team though

[celest zephyr]

Yeah taht’s fair. Probably wanted to go up the ranks

And better to get something than nothing for a guy that wants to leave

If Chelsea doesn’t underperform then yeah

It’s going to be real tough to crack the top 6

Cuz Brighton is solid but they are also the one team that another team outside could possibly beat out

[short flame]

You should be going for European football, not necessarily making it each year but at least battling for it. If spurs can do it so should any team in England

[celest zephyr]

Bruh how did it all go south from here hahah

6th in 2021 also

[short flame]

Look at the past 5 games. They could have been top 6

[thorn hornet]

Fofans tore his ACL

He's on 7 year deal signed for 70 mil

Signed him when he was coming back from a major injury

People joke about Maguire but he's been better one overall

[proud coyote]

[calm mulch]

2024-2025 season be like :

Liverpool is bouncing back i'm pretty sure

tottenham and Chelsea though

[short flame]

Maguire is bad but he’s also turned a lot worse than he actually is. Guy’s treated like a meme. I think he can be good if he goes somewhere where he can focus on defensive side because his ball control is atrocious

[mild mural]

Mbappe just signed for real betis i heard

[calm mulch]

another entertaining winger ruined by joining a justice league team and becoming a center striker

[robust grotto]

Played more games by being in Europe. Would play every Thursday and Sunday instead of just Sunday, add the fact that we’re poor with buying quality players to help rotate the side. Things caught up quick

Not to make excuses I’m just trying to paint a picture

[calm mulch]

He is not even that fit to play the pure 9

lacks height

[short flame]

No way

[dim ledge]

Some of you should never discuss sports again and I mean it

[torn gale]

Dobby is a free elf

I hope Dobby finds my address and cuts my throat in my sleep so I can stop reading some of the takes in here

[dim ledge]

Good

[rustic ore]

Actually kinda heat ngl

[short flame]

[dim ledge]

I have a list for him

[short flame]

Am I part of the list??

[robust grotto]

It might take a for him to get to the list

[mild mural]

okay so fortunately it was fake news

my friend sent an image in the gc and i just kind of said it with no real evidence or double checking so that's on me

Sam darnold > mac jones

Purdy is better than lance anyways

Started for longer and did better when he did start

Plus he can throw a ball accurately

And not hit the turf or throw over someone’s head

[dim kettle]

Yeah, he's really good. About to win the- Oh snap. Purdy got injured just talking about him. Damn the injury gods, SF.

#Rays announce two statues will be unveiled commemorating historic moments featuring Evan Longoria (Game 162) and Akinori Iwamura (clinching 2008 AL pennant) pregame on September 23, before they are installed in permanent locations outside Tropicana Field.

[rustic mountain]

The AL pennant one is okay. Idk. I am adverse to statues if they aren't for championships

[dim kettle]

Longoria’s game 162 walkoff in 2011 is too iconic to not have a statue of some kind especially for the best player who wore a Rays uni.
