NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[El Scorchio]

Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz Goff or Wentz

Draft begins tonight. I cannot wait for the Niners to select players who are either shit or who have chronic medical conditions that will force them to retire within a year or two.

[crystal falace]

"this decision doesn't say anything about whether or not anything was done. the previous judge made his decision that he thought Brady was innocent and rescinded the suspension. the appeal court were only deciding whether or not Goodell acted within the CBA, so they've basically just decided that Goodell has the authority to do whatever he wants."

[Takashi Miike]

the patriots cheating? never!!

[RBshorty]

Looks like Tom Brady cheated after all.! Who would have thought that.?

[Takashi Miike]

not sure this norman signing is smart business. he's a good cornerback and im glad to have him but we have a player like reed coming up to the last year of his rookie contract and the money should be going there and possibly to cousins if he continues to play well. hopefully he settles in quickly as we've been lacking a star in the secondary since sean taylor

[Mikey P]

Reports suggesting Norman to the Skins will be a done deal today.

[Takashi Miike]

Norman's visiting the skins tomorrow. Mcloughan will be a magician if he finds the money for this

[Grumpster]

Norman is the chap who called Beckham a mincer and threatened him with a baseball bat isn't it? He'll fit in a treat and we've needed a horrible Bastard for a while now.

[crystal falace]

"The Patriots are only paying long 1-2million this year, apparently he was offered more than double that elsewhere but wants to play for a contender"

[Takashi Miike]

"we spoke to long but mcloughan is being so tight on money, he probably wanted a bit more than we could offer. we still haven't traded away our first round pick yet but im expecting it as scott does like a deal norman wants apparently $16m a year but that figure is expected to come down closer to 12 :.)"

[Mikey P]

TM I cannot see Trent Baalke spending the money required to land Josh Norman. I would be delighted if the Niners did get him though given how shit our current roster is.

[crystal falace]

"Pats have made some good signings, Martellus bennet from the bears for essentially a 6th round pic is a steal, try stopping the 2 tight end set with Bennet and Gronk. They signed chris Long fromt he Rams who if he has anything left in the tank could be a great pick up, Few other depth pickups. traded away Chandler Jones as they were not going to pay him the big contract he was going to get next year. as for running backs they still have Dion Lewis and Blount but I would think they'll use one of their 2nd or 3rd round picks on a back as Blount wasn't getting it done last year."

[Takashi Miike]

"grumps, your mob are favourites to sign Norman. id love him at our place but we don't think we have that sort of money"

[Takashi Miike]

"that's good to hear, maybe him and reed together will free up our receivers. should be a good season coming up though our schedule is tougher this year I wonder if keuchly's been given the franchise tag? im assuming newton was already tied down to a long term deal?"

[Grumpster]

Well that and the fact Gore was mustard.

[Grumpster]

"His blocking was the reason why Gore was so productive for so many years. If you get the best out of him, he's an absolute beast."

[Takashi Miike]

what about his blocking ability? obviously reed will get most of the targets

[Grumpster]

"Legend is big Verne and he got 55 TD's for us and there was no other tight ends with as good yards after catch as he had, including Gronk. Not sure about his attitude though, as he fell out with someone at the Niners (probably Harbaugh) and was seriously underused after that. Christ even Vance McDonald got more game time!!"

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, have your mob made any big moves? who's your running backs for next season?"

[crystal falace]

"He's still one o the most athletic tight ends in the league, just doesn't seem to have the bottle for it any more and has a lot of drops."

[Takashi Miike]

"grumps, was there any point in us signing Vernon Davis. from what I've seen, he's been semi-retired for about three years"

[Grumpster]

"Wouldn't make a different if we were playing the London Monarchs Mikey, we're currently complete wank and stuck with using either Kaep or Gabbert. Another barren spell in the wilderness it is unless Chip Kelly is the new messiah."

[crystal falace]

More huge new over the last couple of days!! Eagles have given up a ton of picks to move up to the number 2 overall spot int he draft - can bet your life that the first 2 picks will now be Wentz and Goff. Carolina have rescinded the franchise tag for Josh Norman meaning the best cornerback in football last year is now a free agent!

[Mikey P]

"As a fan of the 49ers I am absolutely gutted that, on top of all the other shit, our schedule of games has been highlighted as the toughest. I can easily see a 0-16 season ahead."
