Yes, I know this is corny and dumb but it's the flipping off-season and there is nothing else to talk about.

They had Cam as one of the four midfielders and this was what was said about him...

Newton has an obvious knack for creating explosive plays, scoring a rookie record 14 rushing touchdowns in 2011. That free will to score when the opportunity arises will be presented frequently to Newton on the pitch as an attacking midfielder. In the NFL, RG3 and Newton -- two of the most exciting young quarterbacks to hit the league in quite some time -- would never hit the field together. But on NFL United, this dream pairing can wreak havoc in the midfield. At 6-foot-5, Newton will also be a stout presence on corner kicks and crosses.

So without further a due, here is your All-Star Team

Goalie: Calvin Johnson (Detroit Lions)

Defender: Darrelle Revis (New York Jets)

Defender: Patrick Peterson (Arizona Cardinals)

Defender: Patrick Willis (San Francisco 49ers)

Defender: Rob Gronkowski (New England Patriots)

Midfielder: Clay Matthews (Green Bay Packers)

Midfielder: Robert Griffin III (Washington Redskins)

Midfielder: Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers)

Midfielder: Darren Sproles (New Orleans Saints**)

Forward: Maurice Jones-Drew (Jacksonville Jaguars)

Forward: Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals)

They literally put no thought into this.

Just took all the top names in the NFL and put them at random positions.

I sure as hell hope that this isn't going to be a real event. Cam doesn't need to be playing soccer period. Yet alone with these competitive people who would like nothing more than for Cam to be hurt, so that they don't even have to see him this year.

lolwut. They were doing this because Chelsea was playing Bayern today for the Champions League Championship. Which would be like their superbowl.. Or something like that.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
