NFL 2017 season

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

Just gotta land the best QB ever with a low draft pick who doesn't mind taking cap friendly deals every single year, instead of trying to break the bank in such a way that end up gutting the roster to keep them.

Over and over Brady takes way less at a glamour position. Even in his signing bonus years, he makes it manageable where he lands in the top 3, and then drops back into the lower half. You start sprinkling those extra millions over a team at the non-glamour spots and you can substantially improve several positions.

Thank you for the lesson Fooskey, we all know that is part of it. It also helps he bangs a chick who makes (or made at least) more than he does, so taking a bit less when you are as competitive as him ain't no big thing. Kinda sickening to see him boxed in by the Ginger Wonder and Glennon, though.

They still, without fail, even when they ebb and flow, always field a competitive team that somehow is able to figure shit out even when things are looking down (like their defensive situation to start this year). Fuckers.

I just don't know the average fan recognizes just how much he leaves on the table every single year. I bet it is gonna approach $100 M over the course of his career. That is a lot, even with a rich wifey.

They don't. Is 100 M worth 5 rings, though?

Brady got massive cool points when he reiterated all my shit talking that I've made about him being a top tier QB. :p

After the Super Bowl, the media hounded him with comparisons to Montana and possibly being ahead of him. He gave the coolest response in history. He could've taken the other approach and been like" I don't know. Montana was great, I'm just honored that somebody mentioned me in the same sentence" or something. But he comes out with this beautiful gem.

"I don't agree with that, and I'll tell you why. I know myself as a player. I'm really a product of what I've been around, who I was coached by, what I played against, in the era I played in. I really believe if a lot of people were in my shoes they could accomplish the same kinds of things. So I've been very fortunate."

A+

Making watching us play the fucking Pats fun. Even though they are annoyingly hard to play against with such a bollocks defense.

His ability to call what defenses are going to do, and what an offense needs to do, is incredible. Really is.

Add in good anecdotes and he’s got a future in the booth.

The Broncos are very good. At least it was a close game!
Not removing until John Elway is fired.

KC have let the wheels come off. Raiders couldn’t defend s flag football team. Denver look like they gave up long ago. Osweiler is a shadow of the QB they thought he was. Only Chargers today looked like a team with anything to give.

Trade Splooge to GB so he can take them to the promised land.

I only saw one play in this game, and it was Bork missing Sanders on 4th down on the last play of the game.

The team basically quit because of how horrible Siemian is, Brock has actually been an improvement.
