2013 Random NFL Chatter

  • Iliketurtles
    I agree with the top 4. 5-9 I think any of those guys now could all be moved around. I just don't get rivers at 11 though that one I'm really scratching my head on I don't think I'd have him in the top 20. Also give me Newton ahead of Wilson, Kaep, and RG3. Also seeing Ponder at 22 made me laugh. No way I'd have him higher than like 28th.

    Below is a link to the very interesting Aaron Hernandez article in Rolling Stone. Sad how such a promising career ended with a very troubled young man.

    The concussion lawsuit brought by former players against the NFL settled out of court.

    The good news for the NFL though is that half of those who filed the complaints have totally forgotten they had done so.

    Some expert was disputing some of it yesterday in saying that if he was as illicit drug use as they state he woulda popped in the drug testing program.

    That was Shaun King, who is an ex-NFL player. I agree with that to some extent; however, the article was still very interesting in my humble opinion.

    I think I may have gotten a concussion playing pee-wee football. I might go back and sue the school.

    He's rumored to have banged Dana Jacobson.

    "and when he is playing in the NFL, he will be catching balls and not throwing them, and your to stupid to realize that"

    Favorite footwedge quote of all time. I miss him.

    OMG OMG OMGBrady Quinn now plays for the Jets. His sister married A.J. Hawk. A.J. played college football with NICK MANGOLD at Ohio State. Nick Mangold is the center for the Jets. Brady Quinn played college football at Notre Dame, just like Jerome Bettis. Also, Jerome Bettis is from Detroit and won the Super Bowl in his hometown.OMG OMG OMG

    I was disappointed when the Jets unloaded Tebow cuz it made it easy to hate them in one easy package. Now the Jets make my day by picking up another of my most hated in the famous ND choke artist Bratty McQuinn. Thank you Sexy Rexy for giving me another reason to watch your circus implode every season.

    Matt Flynn needs to seriously consider retiring from the NFL.

    He has to feel like a monster piece of shit that this is the 2nd starting job in a row that has been handed to him that he couldn't even manage to hold through the pre-season.

    He has the best job in sports, and a great salary.

    Oh man, life must suck with that salary of his. He better retire soon! :rolleyes:
  • IggyPride00
    I am sure his salary is the last thing on his mind.

    After that 6 TD game at the end of the 2011 season he translates it into a big contract and supposed starting spot with Seattle. He then loses his spot despite the contract to Russel Wilson.

    Then he is traded to the Raiders, possibly the worst franchise in the NFL, to be their QB solution. He then abruptly loses the job to Pryor.

    It has to be devestating to have this happen to you twice where you think you are finally getting a shot to fulfill your life long dream only to get stuck holding a clip board instead.
  • sportchampps
    I have a feeling that next season Flynn will end up going back to being a backup in Green Bay.
  • SportsAndLady
    Last thing on an nfl players mind is salary...lmao!
  • Tiernan
    Go Colts...prove me being a genius again.

    Yeah, i am sure he is going to kill himself now.

    lol, yeah. I'm sure that as a competitor, it sucks for him not being a starter and knowing that he's likely to go down as one of those multi-millionaire free agent busts.

    On the other hand, being able to provide for your family and (if you don't go full retard with the money) future generations WHILE not winding up a 40-year-old near-cripple from getting hit a lot is more than enough incentive to keep smiling through all that horrible emotional torment.

    I know there are a few other Cowboys fans on here so I guess our prayers may have finally been answered with the signing of Brian Waters.

    Granted he has been out of the league for a year but I don't think will matter much he was a pretty good guard before and it's not like he can be worse than what they already have.

    Key is he can't be worse.
