I fuging hate the Pats, but I'll admit I love Gronk. Dude fully embraces his meat headedness. Seems like most NFL players are meat heads at heart but try to downplay it. Gronk just goes all in on it.

I'm 32 but never really rooted for the Panthers until we drafted Peppers. Had casual interest in them as the local team, but didn't become a full fledged fan until we drafted Pep. As a life long UNC fan, that was the push I needed to get over the hump.

One play? He lead the NFL in receiving yardage per game last year at 108.8ypg. He was a lot more than just one play.

This. The kid killed it last year. The real deal for sure.

Wonder if we put in a claim? Even if we did, I doubt all 24 teams ahead of us failed to do so.

Yep, good person. Always handles matters with the utmost class.

Honestly, if the Pats and their fans have a legitimate beef, it's that the organization got hit too hard. All indications were that Brady and a couple of low level equipment guys were the extent of the involvement in this whole deal. It really feels like the Pats got hit because of their history, which IMO is still legit reasoning. However, if you're going to argue that the Pats got hit too hard as an organization, then Brady got off too light. If you're going to let the organization as a whole off the hook, then Brady should've gotten hit with a half a season suspension. Honestly, hitting Brady with 8 games and taking mid-round pick from the Pats would've seemed like a more fair solution given the information available IMO. But, given the fact that Brady is in his late 30s and the Pats have to strike while the iron is hot, I'm sure having Brady for 12 games is worth losing that 1st rounder in their minds.

Interested in him doesn't necessarily equate to definitely wanting him.

First of all, both the Panthers AND the Vikings were doing it. There was no advantage gained by either team. Secondly, neither team was exactly trying to hide. Thirdly, there was no attempt by either team to deny it or cover it up. Don't get it twisted, Brady and the Pats are getting nailed not because they deflated some game balls, they're getting nailed because they're repeat offenders and they tried to cover it up and deny it.

Well, to be fair, $20k for that does seem absurd.

I don't see how it's possible that anyone had a worse offseason than the 49ers. That entire organization appears to be a dumpster fire right now.

Yeah, hopefully it's not true. I doubt it is simply because Klein would have to be completely delusional to have that mindset.

If that's the case, then he can go bye bye as far as I'm concerned. He's out of his mind if he thinks he's ever going to be a featured player on an NFL defense. He's a rotational two down LB. That's just what he is. That's a guy who can have a long, productive NFL career, but it's not a guy who will ever be a featured player. That's one thing I love about TD. He's a great player who has never really even been the featured LB on our team, yet that's never bothered him. Morgan was the featured LB when he was drafted, then Beason came along and overshadowed him, then Kuechly came along and did the same. TD just kept plugging away and doing what he does and never let it bother him.

Mark Barron isn't a FA guys. The Rams simply didn't pick up the 5th year option on his 1st round rookie contract. He's still signed through this season.

Yeah, I think Richardson's knees are just shot.

It's not all bad. He can hang out here at watch the games. That wouldn't suck.

Damn, that sucks. Feel terrible for the kid, the Jags, their fans, just awful.

Oh poo. I was about to say that hopefully it'll turn out to be something minor, but that video... man, that did not look good. That knee buckled bad.

Good grief, are La'el and Jerruh gonna jerk each other off right there on camera? Sure sounds like it.

The Cowboys certainly looked stacked on paper, but they've been underperforming on the field for the past decade plus. They're the Cowboys. They'll find a way to flame out and it'll probably be via Romo throwing TDs to the wrong team.

Hey, I'd much rather him sign with Dallas than with N.O.

Hey, when you have a chance to land Nordstrom talent for Dollar Tree prices, it's what you SHOULD do. Smart move by the cowgirls.
