Poor Juan has been neutered...a shadow of his former self.  This title doesn't quite have the same juice as "Panthers on the verge of trading for superstar WR".

I thought those were titles were good fun. Who would complain about that?

 

Similarly I remember going to Costco, and the people checking receipts would always draw a cartoon on the back if the family had little kids. 
 

Then one day, they didn’t. Management made them stop because of a complaint.

Yeah it was a running joke on these boards and was Juan's thing (along with homoerotic commentary).  I get it if it's against the rules, but it feels like clickbait threads are moderated much more heavily than personal attacks, bumping old threads, and off-topic threads on the main forum during the season which are all supposedly also against the rules.

I’ve been warned one more thread title like that and I’d be banned for life and have my penis lopped off and fed my myself terrible

What a sad state of affairs. From drafting the NFL equivalent of Steph Curry and the next Drew Brees to calling up any front office that will pickup the phone to see if they'll drop an elite WR into our laps.

I'm not sure what one has to do with the other.  Bills traded for Diggs for Josh Allen, Eagles traded for AJ Brown for Hurts, Jags traded for Calvin Ridley for Lawrence, Dolphins traded for Tyreek Hill for Tua, Bears traded for DJ Moore for Fields, Cardinals traded for DeAndre Hopkins for Kyler Murray.  And those are just the trades...not even considering the draft.  So I don't get the snark for the Panthers doing something that basically every other team in the NFL does for their young QB.  You draft a QB high, you go and get him a receiver...that seems to be the norm these days.  If this tweet is true (which there seems to be dispute about), then it's an exploratory phone call.  Something I would suspect happens far more often around the league than we hear about, with the vast majority not amounting to anything.

Sure but how many of those teams took the ass backwards approach of trading your best WR in years to draft your QB? We are victims of our own circumstance and Fitterer created this.

You shouldn't assume that.

The tweet quoted is from an account that makes sh-t up.

Which is exactly why I called put that in my comment. It doesn't even make sense, but I guess that's the point, right? Drum up conversation via ridiculousness.

MLFootball and a few other Twitter accounts like it (NFLrums, for example) have been called out by real reporters like Albert Breer and others for stealing news without attribution and occasionally mixing that with items that are completely made up.

They get reported, sometimes get taken down but then just come back with a new name.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Witnessing and FEELING the NFL bend us over and grab our ankles in Super Bowl 50 in real-time…  that was the turning point for me.  I have not viewed the NFL, or pro sports for that matter, the same, ever since.  Look at the NBA.  You’re talking about astronomical odds for the #1 pick on the teams in the back-end of it.  The Mavericks mysteriously and inexplicably out of nowhere trade their franchise players - one of the biggest stars in the league, and an international superstar…  and of all places, to the LA Lakers, with LeBron.  They get back an oft-injured Anthony Davis.  Their team, including Davis, end up getting injured to the point they barely have enough healthy players to play games as the year goes on.  Their GM takes a ton of heat and never really offers a reasonable, not plausible explanation as to why they did the trade in the first place.  He also states that they never took any calls from any other teams, they never fielded any other offers for Luka, and they didn’t even take the offer elsewhere to see what other teams offered.  Absolutely no due diligence.  Now ask yourself, why would a team do that?  Not just in sports, why would any business do such a thing?  Not maximizing your return?  Not doing due diligence?  Fast forward a couple months…  the GM has been lambasted, ridiculed, and belittled the entire time since.  The lottery comes around, and the Mavs, who were just in the NBA Finals the year before, barely miss the playoffs due to all of their injuries.  Davis, Kyrie Irving, etc., all their best players were injured.  They had the smallest mathematical chance at getting the #1 pick.  Guess who got the #1 pick? The Mavericks.  So this plays out like the NBA asked the Mavs to do them a solid.  One of their blue-blood, prestigious, big market franchises needed a bump with LeBron getting older.  LA throws together a garbage package, sending them an aging star and some garbage picks for one of the biggest stars and historically one of the most incredible offensive players in NBA history, and the NBA ensures the Mavs will beat powerball odds and get the #1 pick, when it just so happens that Cooper Flagg, projected to be a generational talent, is coming out in the draft.  You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours. Also, who got the #2 pick?  The Spurs.  A year after obtaining the #1 pick to acquire another touted generational talent in Wembanyama, after a 20+ year run as one of the most successful NBA dynasties in history.  They suddenly have their first bad year, get the #1 pick ahead of us, the Hornets (after wallowing in mediocrity for decades), and get Wemby, and now get the #2 pick the following year.     There was talk here earlier in the offseason about things lining up for us to go to the Super Bowl this year, and at the time, I half jokingly said I could see it, as the patsy for Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson’s redemption arc.  Again, after all of the poo that happened in Super Bowl 50, then watching the refs stand by idly over the next two years while week after week our opponents took cheap shot after illegal cheap shot on our once-in-a-lifetime talent in Cam Newton…  that poo took a lot of the heart out of it for me.  I’ve said for years, if big money involved, corruption is inherent.  There’s no way around it.  I’ve accepted that every professional sport is influenced by the money.  And storylines bring big money.  It has become purely entertainment with a small pinch of competition.  At least the WWE tells you exactly what they are, and thus, you can enjoy it for what it is.  The NFL and NBA specifically, specialize in crushing the hearts of fans who believe it’s still real and untainted.  fug Goodell and Silver.

      When you factor in Fox and Jake (love ya Jake but lets be real) Smitty deserves credit beyond the stats.   I know I said CMCs inclusion was all ifs and promises   That not withstanding Smith is top 4 in yards among his peers (2000-2014) Top 5 in receptions in that same time frame Only triple crown winner Didnt have Young, Romo, Warner, Manning, Brady slinging him the ball   Dunno if he is top 3 in the last 25 years cause some guys have put up stats since his prime - but Smith is very underrated for a dude in a run first offense with a less than HOF QB
