Four players on one team...

 

The NFL, and really all sports organizations, are big hypocrites.  All day they drown us with the "betting odds" from games to who will go 1st overall.  Yet when their players are caught BETTING, they are like, "Oh, how dare they!!!  Throw them in the stockade!!!!!!"  This is nothing but chickens coming home to roost for allowing the nation to legalize sports gambling.

I'd say that discussion is...ongoing.

Yes, but we as regular folk can't throw games to help with a bet. Players technically can ... thus why betting is banned. Pretty simple concept.

Its all semantics.  The players' family would be regular folk.  Literally anyone they know could place a bet, and try to get in their ear to make things happen.  All I'm saying is, if you are that phobic towards your players betting on anything (even if it's outside football), why in the world are you promoting it everywhere?  They go out of their way to promote that stuff.  Are the players dumb for gambling?  Yes.  Is the NFL hypocritical?  Yes.  If we are going to condemn the players, also condemn the league who promotes gambling.

      Icky Contract Extension

      By SCO96 · Posted

      When I see those figures my stomach gets queasy at the thought of Bryce getting a similar deal. I think it would be a wise for the FO to speak to him and his agent before the deadline for 5th year option.  If Bryce expects a similar deal prior to his 4th year...or even after his 4th year...Morgan needs to try to work out a trade deal and move him.

      2026, an LB draft?

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I do hope Sonny Styles is available with our pick. Reese will go top-3, but Styles is a beast in his own right. His size next to Wallace would be a heckuva balance and he plays fast. My guess is Styles destroys the combine and goes top-8. Gotta hope the "taking an off-ball LB early" conversation causes a bit of a drop. It did with Campbell in last draft, so here's hoping Styles can last until the late teens/early 20s.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By CRA · Posted

      Teams can win in spite of bad offense.  In spite of bad defense.  In spite of bad ST.  In spite of being weak at corner.  In spite of weak WRs.  In spite of weak QB play.  like I said, what is taking place is the unique cherry pick where some fans say we can't state the obvious reality about the QB spot.  But look at Atlanta!  But look at these 3 throws in this game he was treated as a backup for every single other snap!  Exceptions don't make the rule or change the big picture. I have seen lots of your post, I don't recall you rushing to Philly Brown's defense when it was just matter of fact stated Cam Newton won NFL MVP/went to the Super Bowl despite a weak WR cast.  The entire board universally agreed the weak link to that roster was what it was.     I would reckon if I searched hard enough, I could find you making the same matter of statement that teams do in fact win in spite of very clear weaknesses.
