Just some extremely over emotional people behind a keyboard, With that said I'd get the police to try tracing the accounts and pressing charges to every last one that issued a death threat, It wont happen but some authority has to come down hard on those people to send a message that death threats will not be tolerated and will be dealt with seriously regardless of how the death threat was made or who the source of the threat came from

Death threats sadly come with the territory and I am only surprised there aren't even more of them.  I have received death threats from known unbalanced individuals and I have in fact turned them over to the police.  Often they do nothing, but in one instance, an associate of mine got several city specific threats (as in "when you come to this town, I will be there to kill you").  He hired Private Investigators and Security because the guy was so adamant and went to the town with protection.  The day of the event, his PI calls him to explain he didn't need to worry.  The guy making the death threats had killed himself in his apartment, but on his table were tickets to the event along with the 5 guns he had, one of which he used to shoot himself.  Since then I take ALL such threats 100% seriously.  Anyone else should as well.  I feel sorry for the guy.  That onside kick was hardly the reason they lost, it was simply one play of many plays that did.  And even if it WAS the sole reason, he hardly deserved the punishment.  They certainly didn't punish all the other players who contributed to the loss.

There's a lot of money involved in the NFL. Not saying death threats are okay, just some people get really angry losing thousands of dollars on a fluke. It's their own fault though.

something else to think about when pro sports leagues talk about legalizing gambling

I agree!!!!!  When they do, we'll know for sure that games appearing to be fixed likely are, points seeming to be shaved, probably are.  I have never understood WHY a team needed to give injury report information out to decrease gambling issues they would otherwise have and my thought was who gives a crap if it screws gamblers over? And now they worry about Fantasy Football.  I play for fun, but seriously don't need the teams to help keep gambling fair.  It's mostly illegal gambling! The NBA has already been busted for game/point fixing in the official scandal and watch nearly any game and a case can be made that one team or the other is getting royally screwed! The NFL is often the same.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      Happy Draft Day to the folks who are in Indiana! (And east coast) lol. If this actually happens today I don’t know what I would do. Pipe dream or not, I’m READY for this draft to start!

      Ok, just so I'm reading it right.  You are saying that I responded to another poster by mentioning RG in passing, as a means to bait a lurking you into starting a debate about RG vs CB, for which you feel justified doing because I mentioned RG and Luck's history.   Why don't you just stick to the possibilities of why Ballard might want to draft an olineman high?  That's what I did.

      Its not even a serious counter, because there was never a tie in made that suggested his injuries were caused by a porous oline in the first place.  That was a tie in made to try tp point out Moose was wrong, when he didn't even tie the two together.  They were separate sentences.   Built into the idea that AR should be protected better is the appearance that AR may be fragile, based upon the situations behind his injuries.  AR was injured.  Ballard may want to protect him better.  The issue of possible fragility is built into it, IMO. is how I read Mooses comments.  Not that it was because of the level of oline protection.

      Kirk did have the Vikings at the top of the division in the 2022 season at 13-4. He was injured last year. Oh well have fun with your new QB.    You act like I don't know Vikings football, comical because I like the team and follow them a lot. You and @NFLfansay Kirk doesn't know situational football. In 2022 he was the best situational QB in the league. Vikings were 11-0 in games decided by 3 points or less. It is because Kirk handled most situations right. You don't go 11-0 in games 3 points or less and not be a smart QB.

      Maybe I am the one who will end up with egg on his face but I just don’t get why people think the Colts are actually going to draft an olineman with their first pick.  Nelson and Kelly returned to their pro-bowl playing status.  Raimann looks to be a very good young left tackle and the Colts have made it pretty clear they see Smith as one of the most underrated tackles in football.  They aren’t drafting a right guard in the first round, Nelson was exception, and even then Fries held his own at right guard last year.  They aren’t going to draft a guy who isn’t going to start next year either in the first round.  The starting oline is probably the least of their worries going into this draft.
