More specifically - the injury the issues came from was sustained during his last game at Florida State

This could technically go in the college thread too - The offseason Hard Knocks will feature... Bill Belichick and UNC

We know this is dead.  HOWEVER...

DC is expected to host the 2027 Draft

I am sure the city's infrastructure will have no problems handling it

Nope - none at all

I can't imagine anything less appealing then fighting with hundreds of thousands of people to get to the capitol lawn to listen to draft picks being read. Then hundreds of thousands of people all trying to leave at the same time. I know I am not the target audience for these events but people that find this fun should be put on a special list. Unless you live within easy walking distance and just check it out for a few hours, I'd understand that anyway.

I think the greatest consensus you will find in all of the DMV is our utter disdain of July 4th weekend.  The combination of tourists, traffic, and weather all combine to become the single largest possible shit show.

It is also fairly obvious that the NFL is going to try and get the President to announce a selection which will turn it into a bigger shit show (due the required security that would come with that)

They might as well just close the Federal Government now for that entire week

I would say viewing the cherry blossoms by the Tidal Basins is almost as bad, except that the weather is usually better.

At least the Cherry Blossom's are pretty.

 

No, I've never been to the Tidal Basins during blooming seaons, why do you ask??

You just know getting there is going to require transferring in L'Enfant Plaza twice for some reason.

The cherry blossom festival sucks, but it is tucked away in one little corner.  You can kind of maneuver around it if you know your way around, but it's probably #2 on the list of worst weekends to be in DC.  The weather factor is what makes it a distant #2.  Spring in DC is short and unpredictable, but when it's nice it's really nice.  Summer is long and predictable, it's not only hot, but the weather gaslights you because the heat index is always 5-15 degrees hotter than the temperature.  I don't care that the temperature is 92 if it feels like 108...as far as I'm concerned it's actually 108.

I was going to say that if Green Bay can handle quarter of a million a day then DC would be fine but they can't handle fucking morning traffic on the beltway.   Anybody on the beltway that day might as well sleep on the side of the road

 

And the upcharge on what little Ezpass we have in this area on those 2 days.

Ravens have released Justin Tucker

I'm thankful for what he contributed to the team but I'm not surprised or sad they cut him.

Well so much for waiting for the inevitable powder keg that was DK Metcalf and George Pickens working together.   This Steelers offense is going to be torture to watch at this rate even if Rodgers joins the team

Careful what you wish for Dallas  

Posted

The deal is:  Pickens and a 6 for Dallas' 3 and a 7 in two years

Gabe Davis cut by the Jaguars. I'm sure a year ago I posted that the contract he got was insane based on his skill level, I assume the Jags realized the same. He'll get picked up somewhere, he's a solid #3 or #4 option but he's just not top level or near to it.

I was just arguing about this with my coworker.  Based on their time in Pittsburgh, who would you least like to have on your team, Antonio Brown or George Pickens?  I don't want Pickens anywhere near my team.  I can't have a guy fighting his defender during a hail mary while the ball is in the air.

The only benefit to Antonio Brown over Pickens is that there is still the theory that Brown wasn't a mess before Vontae Burfict hit.   I don't remember hearing stories about him being a mess at Central Michigan.   He wasn't much of a problem before that wild card game besides the usual WR diva attitude.  Pickens had some flags at Georgia and it just got more obnoxious

You are ignoring the fact that playing at Central Michigan is the mess.  Players as good as Antonio Brown don't leave Florida to Central Michigan without a story.  He was Juco, got a scholarship to FIU, and got into a fight with security while moving into his dorm, and was expelled before the season.
