RIPPA Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Training camps are opening. Football is back. Games will still be shitty until Sept. 1
Gonzo Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Ian Rapoport is reporting that Josh Gordon is being reinstated and will miss the first four games of the season. Nearly put this in the stupidity section, but I have a feeling this whole thing is going to end up back there sooner or later anyway.

Josh Gordon is one of those dudes who everyone who meets him is impressed by him, but then he makes an incredibly stupid decision and you can't understand how he fooled you. The worst part is that his mistakes would be minor issues if he didn't have so many minor issues stacked on top of each other.
Gonzo Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Your Season-Ending Injury of the Indeterminate Time Period goes to. . . Washington DE/LB Junior Galette He tore his Achilles today and is out for the year for the second straight season.

Maybe it's a sign that he should hang it up? 1
Death From Above Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I know the guy that writes W.Y.T.S. is a Vikings fan but I'm hoping the Packers piece this year is a little more creative than "I hope Packers fans kill themselves LOLOLOLOL I AM FUNNY ON THE INTERNET" for a third year running. But as the series ages it seems to be dipping further and further in "People of Walmart" style culture nastiness and less and less actual good football jokes. 1
Gonzo Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Randy Gregory of the Cowboys, who's already suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the substance abuse policy, has checked into a treatment facility and will not be at Training Camp. According to Schefter, he's now also facing a longer suspension.

Only so much material to work with I suppose if you're not an extremely gifted and creative writer. He needs a writing staff. The position is open for you if you want it. Probably. They probably can't pay. 1

sabremike Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Question of the day (inspired by Jets fans attacking Fitz on Twitter): why do NFL fans constantly side with management over the players? In other sports I can kinda see it but you have a sport that a) causes brain damage and b) treats their players as disposable hunks of meat. How can anyone be against any player getting as much money as they possibly can?
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Because we've been given a narrative over the years where these guys are privileged millionaires who should be grateful they get to play a game for a living. This skips the fact that an even richer person "owns this person" and their rights (and everything implied by that). I can devolve into the politics of this, but this isn't that kind of board and what I've said more than says or implies and everything I want to say. 3

Because if player X doesn't sign for less than far market value and leaves he's hurting my team and therefore hurting me. I'm not looking at you at all Josh. Nope. Not at all.
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Devin Hester has been released by the Falcons. Here he is committing murder. Over and over and over.

The idea that players need to hurt themselves financialy in addition to physically for fans is just wrong, particularly in the NFL where players are used and discarded like garbage.
RIPPA Posted July 27, 2016 Author Posted July 27, 2016 Technically he requested to be released which the Rams agreed to after he agreed to reduce the amount of guaranteed money he was owed 1
dogwelder Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Fitzpatrick and the Jets agree to a one year deal, base $12 million plus additional $3 million in incentives.
Kuetsar Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 When you need to go 9-7 and be eliminated in week 17, accept no substitutes.
CSC Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 So the Rams have apparently sold 70,000 season tickets. I look forward to buying so many of those by week 8 for like $5 a piece. 2
Kuetsar Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 It will be fun watching them show up in the middle of the 2nd quarter too. . . .
