what team facility? sleeping on the floor?  does the team own hotels i don't know about?  or set up meeting rooms like disaster shelters with people sleeping in bunks right next to each other?  i don't know if you've thought this through

Yes I have. These teams make millions upon millions. They can afford either a hotel or beds. Some of these guys may be accustomed to being divas, but many don't come from privileged backgrounds! They have state of the art facilities, so they can certainly afford comfortable beds or a quarantined hotel.

Oh, I know. Both sides should be willing to sacrifice to get the season done (and all that money in.hands)!

When has the NFL and the NFLPA ever come to a quick and logical agreement on anything, even when it is in both sides' best interest? There's always posturing, dick measuring, and fighting to gain an upper-hand on some other issue.

Really getting worried about my kids starting school in a few weeks.  Get better fast Cam!

Thankfully mine are out of school right now.  My oldest is finishing his last semester at Western, mostly from home and the youngest hasn't figured out what he wants to do other than working part-time at Taco Bell.   He says he's enrolling in community college in the Spring but who knows.

If he doesn't know what he wants to do, community college is definitely the right call. Hell, with what has happened with the cost of college, I think it's the right call for everyone who isn't getting a full ride or close to it. Knock out those general requirements on the cheap at the local community college and then transfer for the last two years and end up with the same degree at a steep discount. There are way too many people coming out of college with a mountain of debt they can only escape by way of death and a degree that doesn't do much for their employment prospects. That's an awful deal.

That's what the oldest did.  He did his first two years of his degree in community college and the last two at Western.  Saved me some money and his degree will be from Western.  Works for me.

I get the bad feeling shits about to hit the fan in the US like we haven't seen yet. It's almost like the experts know what they are talking about.

People been saying this since February. I guess eventually somebody might say it and be right, hopefully not.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.

      Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.

      BREAKING NEWS: Trevin Wallace out for the year

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
