Arena The Official NFL Discussion Thread (Now Featuring Time's Person of the Year, Taylor Swift!)

Ted Thompson is way too smart to waste money on him. If anyone signs him, it'll be some sadsack mid-level team desperate to fill a gap. So the Vikings or Bengals or something.

 

So I am ready to declare a jihad on NFL.com. My dad had dinner with Coach Ditka and Coach Shula last night and I asked him to get a signed football for me. He ordered the footballs and THEY DIDN'T COME IN ON TIME. WTF. Apparently Shula looks bad, he was came in with a motorized scooter.

 

That sucks about the footballs, I hate delivery fails. About Shula.

Apparently Dumervil has been offered a contract by the Ravens.

 

The Bengals are pretty boring when it comes to spending money. Now if Urlacher had gone to jail, and they could get him at a bargain...

 

Russell Wilson gets free burritos for life.

 

Can't you just buy a football at a sports store?

 

Especially for under a million... just because.

 

I doubt it, unless they can sign him for dirt cheap and he's willing to take a reduced role.

 

I DEMAND SPECIAL BALLS MARCUS.

 

Double post because I can.

From what I have heard, that's what the Bears wanted to do with Urlacher and he said "lol no". The fact is that he is old, he isn't as fast or on point anymore. He has missed quite a bit of the past two seasons. Why should they pay him loads of money when he is probably going to rip a bicep three games in. I would just like him to retire a Bear!

 

I think he's too proud to admit he isn't nearly the player he used to be.

 

So, does anyone really care that the London Jaguars have four years in a row as the home team starting this coming season. One things for sure; it will make the team lots more money than they could get in Jacksonville.

 

I don't like teams playing in London in general. It's too tough on the teams, and the field at Wimbledon when the Giants played a few years there was a mess. You're also taking home games away from the fans of those teams.

I generally do not support the NFL's European strategy at all

 

It's a disgrace that the NFL has played games internationally without having any sort of game played in the L.A. area since 1994.

 

Well maybe yous don't DESERVE it!

 

Even with the issue of having a team back being unresolved, I don't see why the NFL couldn't have had a Super Bowl (or two) held out here since '94.

 

i don't think it's fair to the teams at all to have to go to europe. and here's a question, how the hell are they going to be dealing with turn around if they have a team playing there every week? it's not like they have bye weeks in the last few weeks of the season. having nfl teams playing in europe will ultimately result in tired players which lowers the product on the field AND can result in more injuries. yet another example of goodel's hypocrisy.

 

Because up until the recent renovations to the Rose Bowl, L.A. didn't have a suitable venue that had an abundance of suites. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Super Bowl Champs to start season on the road.

 

Smh.

 

Of course Tunick would pick Laker colors.

 

of course. what else would he pick? i'm honestly surprised he doesn't type in laker colors.

 

I predict by the next time he gets colors again, it'll be Dodger Blue.

Back on Topic: Dr. James Andrews (who did the ACL surgery on RGIII) compared RGIII to Adrian Peterson, calling him 'superhuman.'

 

We'll see when the rubber hits the road.
