Contentious C Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 1 hour ago, NoFistsJustFlips said: I don't think being a Christian makes you a psycho necessarily. But if you make it your public identity almost as if it's your wrestling character, that's a red flag. Anyone working that hard to make that their identity is generally pretty phony. Usually there's a reason for being that level of phony and that reason tends to be the psycho part. And this right here is Crazy-Eyed Russ in a number of interviews. He makes Westbrook seem like the more well-adjusted Russell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I think Luck would say he was pretty fucked up during his career. ESPN did a long form article on him finding happiness in retirement and it sounds like his was miserable and angry his whole career. A lot of it seems to be because as QB, he felt he had to be QB in all facets of his life, including ordering for everyone when they went for dinner.

It was always a parody and a great one at that.

RIPPA Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Not really news per se but per Schefter - the Bears are "leaning" towards trading the #1 pick Also the usual reminder that we are in lying season and all teams try to swindle other teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets the second plus a haul of extra picks. Then trades down with Indy, gets their pick and another haul, and can still likely get either Anderson or Carter.

Brian Fowler Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Carson Wentz is officially unemployed. You know, I sorta half-heartedly defended him last off-season, pointing out his numbers were a lot better than he got credit for. But I was flabbergasted Washington traded away actual stuff for him and his contract instead of waiting for Indy to cut him. Then he played much worse this year. Yeesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 You'd think the place that literally had a game snowed out this year would consider putting a roof of some kind on the new building.

But, eh... not like I'm ever going there. Yeah they're heavily pushing "most seats are covered by the overhang!" as if the snow won't just blow under it anyway. It looks like a nice stadium for Florida. Plus a covered stadium could have hosted a Super Bowl and/or WrestleMania. By the time this is built, Josh Allen will likely be out the door, and the team will be 4-13 again (if Pegula doesn't sell the team before then). Sad.

RIPPA Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 For whatever reason - a lot of teams* are unwilling to pay the extra money to add the retractable roof (or just a roof in general) I mean you would have thought a baseball team in Minnesota would have put a fucking roof on their new stadium but nope. Or that a baseball stadium in Texas would have had AC (* the Titans seem to be the exception right now since they are building their new stadium to be used year round as they specifically stated it would make sense for fucking Nashville to host music concerts when football isn't in season.)

RIPPA Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Speaking of the Bills They have announced that Leslie Frazier has decided to take a year off from coaching.

Although it should be noted it doesn't say he'll return to coaching for the Bills in 2024, just that he'll return to coaching. So I wouldn't assume the next coach will be an interim, will be interesting to see how they present the new DC or if Frazier is definitely coming back they just don't have one at all since McDermott has a DC background. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if playcalling improves or not. If not, then the heat going to go to McDermott, especially if they shit the bed in the playoffs again.

I still think it's hilarious that everyone rants about how run down The Ralph is when compared to the dilapidated arena downtown it's SoFi Stadium quality and PSE/State don't give a shit. It's probably the worst arena in all of major pro sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
