highlights?

Recommended Posts

i never miss a Colts game but other than that i watch sunday, Monday and Thursday night football and usually miss the sunday morning and day games, i like to keep track via stats and highlights of all the games though, prior to this season i have used NFL.com for highlights and  over last couple years it has gotten progressively worse. A few years back the highlights were 7-10 minutes long incorporating all the important plays and headlines of the game, now they are 2 minutes long with more horse * coming out of the broudcasters mouth than anything, a zillion ads...here in Canada you can pretty much watch a 30 minute highlight that is the whole game on their website(CFL)just wondering does anyone know a website for good highlights?cause im tired of hearing the voices of nfl.com reporters and irrelevant ads, i just want to see some football.

Yeah, that is one part where the NFL juggernaut really lacks is highlights. The NFL Network and NFL.com highlight show is completely unwatchable with Chris Rose attempting to narrate some action while whoever (Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin, whoever) just make random noises and tell us "watch out for" every WR that makes a catch...

 

Even the NHL has the NFL beat in this category, offering easy to find highlights without a lot of fluff, plus "condensed" versions of games that last about 10-13 minutes...of course, the 13-minute version of an NFL game would run the league out of business, as every game only has 12 relevant minutes of real gameplay...

    • https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.
    • Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.
    • Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly. 
    • This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.
    • I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
