How much did that LB cost himself? That certainly has to be one of the most expensive punches thrown in the history of history.

that was great
It was as soon as I muted it.

You can't give NFL players a lot of guaranteed money because the careers are so short (3 years) and the injuries. If contracts were completely guaranteed the teams would be capsized under dead money.
Speaking of dead money, I always find this amusing every July 1st:
Happy Bobby Bonilla Mets Pay Day - Yes, July 1 is when Bobby Bonilla annually gets a check from the Mets for $1,193,248.20, just as he does every year and will continue to do so through 2035.

Either Bonilla was incredibly forward thinking or he had the best agent ever. That's a sweet deal.

I apologize. Sometimes I think I'm being funny when really, people just want to punch me in the face.
I know this because often after I make a joke, people look at me and they, well.....they punch me in the face. Which wouldn't hurt my feelings so much if they laughed while they punched me, at least I'd know my joke landed well. Or they could laugh, punch me in the face, and then laugh some more. But typically there is no laughter. Just punching. Face punching.
If it makes you feel any better, this made me chuckle with no lingering desire to punch you in the face.

Hopefully he makes good on that and brings some serious pressure.

Nice something else pats fans can rip us for.
They can pick on us for pounding our team time and again as much as they want, but anytime they want to pick on us for something non-football related there is always this to fall back on...
-
He's got an opportunity now, but it's going to be a huge challenge. For better or worse, come regular season, he will have earned whatever playing time he gets.
Which is usually true for anyone not named A.Q. Shipley.
-
If he can pan out as a legitimate starting RT then that would be far above expectations for a 7th rounder. I'd be fine with him just becoming a serviceable backup.
-
Hilton, Johnson, Moncrief, and Dorsett are locks. That leaves Carter, Brown, and Griff. I don't feel like he's going to beat out Carter for the 5th spot, but if we keep six receivers then maybe he'll stick.
-
With OBJ, Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle, and Larry Donnell...that's a pretty dangerous receiving corp.
-
I'd say the OBJ is the exact kind of player they should be talking about. He's not especially cocky or vulgar, he doesn't have off-the-field issues, and he seems to be a star in the making. It's certainly a nice break from some of the players we've had to talk about in the recent past: TO, Randy Moss, Ray Rice, Tom Brady, etc etc.
-
You could probably add Greg Olsen to the TE list. I would put Julius Thomas over him, but Greg Olsen was both healthy and consistently good last year.
RBs...Jamaal Charles, Eddie Lacy, or Demarco Murray.
WR...I feel like Dez Bryant should be on there, but I'm not sure who I would replace. That's tough.

michael irvin is the man
http://www.danpatrick.com/2015/05/14/irvin-talks-about-how-troy-aikman-preferred-footballs/
"Are we going to destroy all this greatness this man has done over P S I???"
Irvin knows Brady is the GOAT. the rest of the fans who hate won brady are so disrespectful. Brady is the GOAT by a mile. that's why hate is so much bigger. this is a sad american storyBrady is nowhere near the GOAT time by a mile. I'm not going to argue who the greatest of all time is, it might even have been Brady before he was a known cheater, but it was never anywhere approaching a mile.
Also, as a friendly piece of advice, people might take you more seriously if your username wasn't the nickname of another disgraced candidate for GOAT in his respective sport that happens to be a known cocaine addict that just performed a hit-&-run on a woman.
-
Are you saying Peyton doesn't cheat or are you saying maybe Peyton does cheat but hasn't been caught?
I can usually decipher for myself but you've stumped me.
I am saying that since there is currently zero evidence that Peyton cheats, then there is no reason to suggest otherwise. I can't definitively say that Peyton doesn't cheat, but I can certainly say that I don't think he cheats since he's given us no reason to think otherwise.
-
ok, but whos to say peyton doesnt do the same thing, but hasnt been caught . seems weird he would bring peyton's name up
He brought up Peyton's name because they are the two most powerful players in the game and they were both lobbying for ball control...which presumably led to this whole mess.
Also, everyone is to say that Peyton doesn't do the same thing because there is no evidence of Peyton doing the same thing.
-
he also said peyton does the same thing unless I misread what he said
He didn't say that Manning did the same thing. He said that Manning and Brady lobbied the league to use their own balls. I think it was also mentioned somewhere that Brady and Manning were lobbying to allow scuffing the balls.
-
The question is... Do the pats want Brady to prove something in Indy, or does BB have something up his sleeve where they run for 200+ and embarass us yet again? ...
I hope Brady tries to throw it with "over"- inflated footballs, and we get like 4 picks, and win 70-0. Realistically, we win 45-42, in overtime, because Chuck has, FINALLY, realized how to play the pats...
The real question is, why are we up at 3 am talking about football?
Underinflated footballs or not, I'm still not convinced the Pats couldn't beat us fair and square without them. The whippings the Colts have sustained compliments of the Pats have certainly gone deeper than their increased ability to grip squishy balls.
-
What hurts the most thst is from now on whenever he's talked about as an all time great someone is going to go "yeah but he cheated". I'd much rather be known as a playoff choker than a cheater but maybe that's just me.
I'll be honest, I'm actually kind of upset that he's a cheater. He's one of the all time greats, has been a part of a special rivalry with Manning for years, and now it's all a little tainted.
Now all Manning vs Brady debates won't even make it past, "he's a cheater!"
-
How many fumbles did Donald Brown have as a Colt? One? We are reaching and we don't need to.
For the most part, our starting RBs have been pretty sure handed. Addai, Brown, and Edge. Even TRich only fumbled twice a year. I would have liked to have seen a breakdown by team.
I don't think this is reaching so much as piling on. It's an intriguing correlation, though as far as evidence is concerned, I'd place it at the bottom of the barrel.
-
Is it possible to extend the suspension for wasting everyone's time with an appeal? A double or nothing. You ask for a 2-game reduction, lose, and end up with a 2-game addition. This seems fair.
-
From a practical perspective, I don't see a problem with this. However, I am personally disappointed to find out that it isn't so much honoring the troops as it is providing a service.
-
I'm mostly fine with this. I would have liked to have seen the initial suspension to be around six games so if it is reduced on appeal it would have been more along the lines of three or four. That 2017 4th round pick seems kind of arbitrary.
-
I feel he will become a persona non grata
I tend to agree with ColtsBlue. I think he'll just get the asterisk treatment. He would probably have been great without it.
That being said, I was cursed with tiny little girl hands and can barely grip a standard NFL football. I have zero concept for how much effect deflating a football can have on grip, but supposedly one of Brady's cons is small hands. If his hands are anything like mine then I can't imagine he'd have succeeded without it.
-
It's amazing what competition will bring superstars, some of the GOAT, to do to stay ahead of the game. Tom Brady, Anderson Silva (UFC), Alex Rodriquez, Lance Armstrong, etc etc. These are all guys that would probably be in the conversation for GOAT in their respective sports without cheating, but have all applied varying degrees of tarnish to their legacies. Some (like Armstrong) have destroyed theirs while others (presumably Brady) have simply gotten that fun little asterisk next to their name.
Let's see those teams!

I'm in a 10 team keeper league.
QB: R. Wilson
RB: C.J. Anderson, D. Murray, Carlos Hyde, Tre Mason, C.J. Spiller, T.J. Yeldon
WR: O. Beckham Jr., A. Brown, D. Adams (Sorry Jordy), N. Agholar, J. Brown
TE: G. Olsen
D/ST: Packers
K. C. Parkey
Tre Mason is likely a temporary commodity assuming Gurley comes back healthy. I really wanted Abdullah over Yeldon, but he got picked up shortly before I picked, and his current owner is notoriously difficult to trade with.
