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."

[RBshorty]

Texans want Homo by all accounts.?

"Not sure why that posted again Peterson was released, one of many franchise legends who were released along with revis and jamal charles. Patriots made some very good moves already, signing a good number 2 tight end to replace bennett, signing a legit number 1 cornerback to pair with butler gives them on paper the 2nd best cornerback duo in the league. Resigning a couple of important pieces on defence aswell, if they can get the hightower deal done i'll be over the moon!! Sounds like the browns are now trying to trade osweiler for a low round pick, they essentially bought the texans 2nd round oick, im reading that theyre stocking up on picks to try and make a big push to trade for garappolo, giving the patriots atleast a first and 2nd rounder"

"I'm happy with Garcon, though only if we also get a decent qb in to lob him the ball."

[crystal falace]

"New nfl season has officially started, so many big koves already, too many to list, The baffling one thats just gone theough, texans have given a 2nd round pick to the browns for them to take osweiler off their hands. Looks like they'll be making a push for romo"

[Takashi Miike]

very strange grumps what they're doing. the one thing that worked last season was the offence but garcon & jackson are gone. crowder's superb but its a lot of pressure on a player still learning. at least big Vern got a new three year deal

[Grumpster]

"You should try to trade Karren Brady to the skins, seeing as they seem to like being run by cunts."

[Takashi Miike]

"next year he could be grumps, we have the non exclusive tag on him but if you offer enough he may still go this year. one bit of good news for us, we may be signing terrell pryor"

[Grumpster]

Told you cousins would be joining the niners ;o)

[Far Cough]

Is Peterson being traded?

[Takashi Miike]

"the skins get more dysfunctional by the day not only have we fucked about with cousins, we've let our two best receivers walk and our general manager is AWOL, not turning up for the draft combine and still away from the club as free agency starts. rumours are he won't be coming back, absolute fucking shambles. the day that cսnt Snyder bought the franchise was the day it died. he is a disgrace"

[AKA ERNIE]

Cutler released by the bears fucking great news

[Grumpster]

Osweiller is shite. He's even worse than kaepernick.

"I agree cough, a very modest bloke considering how talented he was"

[Far Cough]

Just a bit of Barry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKO_9iQs3l8 Not only a great running back but a humble person as well

[ooooh Morley Morley]

The Barry Sanders docu on Sky recently was a good watch. He played in the same OSU team as Thurman Thomas (who was a year older I think). Sanders was the back up in the beginning. Imagine that RB line up against you.

[El Scorchio]

"Sanders was so ridiculously elusive it's untrue. So many of his runs look like he's down for a loss, but then he changes direction and outruns everyone to make a huge gain. Sanders created so many of his yards for himself without good or any blocking- IIRC the rest of his team was so piss poor that the defence was expecting a run half the time as well. Dread to think what damage he'd have done behind the Dallas line of the Smith Era."

[kylay]

"Far Cough 5:06 Tue Feb 7 Sanders also retired in his prime basically stating that the only thing left he wanted to do was win a super bowl. he did not feel the lions owners would invest properly to accomplish it and knew they wouldn't trade him, so he retired."

[Grumpster]

I have a huge amount of time for Frank Gore. His numbers and 90 TD's while generally playing in a fucking diabolical Niners team are decent.

[Far Cough]

"Agree with Barry Sanders, the only RB that came close to Jim Brown's numbers, he could have been the all time best but for the shit team he was playing with"

[El Scorchio]

Far Cough 5:03 Which was the dumbest thing ever. That poll just happened to coincide with his hall of fame induction year. There's no way Jerry Rice is the greatest player in NFL history.

[El Scorchio]

"Emmitt Smith had an extraordinary line- on so many of his runs you'll see him get into the secondary without being touched, which obviously makes it easier to be an all time great. Of the era i always preferred Barry Sanders :)"

[Grumpster]

You missed out RGIII TK ;o)

[Far Cough]

I think it was Jerry Rice who pipped Jim Brown to the greatest ever NFL player?

[Takashi Miike]

"my ten favourite players........ Skins - Art Monk, Darrell Green, John Riggins, Dexter Manley, Sean Taylor Non Skins - Walter Payton, John Elway, Mike Singletary, Ronnie Lott, Thurman Thomas"
