caley Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 I'm only a casual NFL fan but I kind of adore NFL pre-season. I especially like hearing the regional NFL announcers and their special guests. My three faves so-far: -The Seattle crew which consisted of their usual announcer, a former Seahawk and a current Seahawk coach and they spend the entire time talking about the Seahawks, referring to the players by their first names and cheering for them with phrases like "I told him! I told him to do that!" and you wouldn't have known therefore two teams playing judging by the commentary and then it abruptly cuts out with a loud crack before you hear this super-serious, super-polished broadcaster voice and he says something like "Due to technical dificulties, we have lost the Seahawk broadcast" -I can't remember which game it was but the guest commentator had this boisterous, hoarse PE teacher voice repeatedly shouting about "smash mouth football". And the pbp guy seemed to really enjoy breaking his balls and started reading tweets about him: Mina Kimes says she loves hearing your dulcet tones and he laughed and said "I dunno about dulcet" and then the Pbp goes " Another tweet asks if you swallowed a hotdog while you were calling the game" and he kind of chuckles sadly -One of the guys in the Giants game last night who just HATED rookies. Every time there was a bad play he'd blame it on a rookie. He'd make comments like "The coaching staff told me he's improved his footwork so if it's still that bad, that should tell you how bad he was!" and " Well that's the problem with playing rookies! " 3

CJ Stroud will start Houston's next pre-season game and according to Schefter, will probably start week 1. After watching a little of the Panthers vs Giants game, I have a have a bad feeling he ain't finishing this season. Not because of his size. It is because his line is just awful 1

Brian Fowler Posted August 22, 2023 Posted August 22, 2023 Colts have given Jonathan Taylor permission to seek a trade to a team that will give him an extension. I can't imagine there are very many teams willing to both trade away meaningful assets and give a running back coming of an injury plagued season and the end of his rookie deal a big money multi-year deal, but he can at least look.
hammerva Posted August 22, 2023 Posted August 22, 2023 So the Ravens pre-season winning streak was broken last night and of course it was by the Commanders and to say they were excited about it is an understatement. Going to get delusional this week. 3

Man he was great at Western Michigan (and his older brother Titus broke some of Antonio Brown's records at Central Michigan. Gotta be kinda weird having your younger brother go play for your school's biggest, most hated rival.) Didn't have the NFL career people expected, but hopefully he's getting out healthy and with a full bank account.

I agree, but if you hire a Shanahan you have to account for some quarterback foolishness. If you get hired when John Elway is on the team, great, but I'd listen to almost anybody else when it comes their valuation of a quarterback.

supremebve Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 3 hours ago, RIPPA said: Prince Amukamara signed a one day contract with the Giants and is retiring Is there a mendoza line for a player who comes to a team and asks to sign a one-day contract to retire with that team? What if you want to do this for multiple teams, could you do it? If so, how many teams? What if Deion Sanders wanted to retire as a Falcon, a 49er, and a Cowboy, do they have to get together and decide who gets dibs? Am I the only one who has ever though about this?
