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."

[Mr. Burns]

Yes cockney brilliant season and turnaround for the Rams.

[Takashi Miike]

*a new* :.)

[Takashi Miike]

"kaepernick can fuck off I don't care about cousins, we could have Brady or Rodgers and still be a disaster. we need new a owner"

[cockney hammer]

great result tonight mr b

[Mr. Burns]

Gurley for MVP

[Grumpster]

Cousins off to the broncos. Kaepernick needs a job ;o)

[Takashi Miike]

"from personal experience and watching thecshit going on at the redskins, the yearly franchise tag they've had cousins on is an expensive distraction. you need him on a five year deal and build round him. for all you know that cսnt belichik is already planning how to get him back"

[Grumpster]

"Be a done deal, he's gagging to stay. He knows were back on the up and he's a guaranteed starter for as long as he wants to be with the other gash we have!!"

[Takashi Miike]

49ers still not signed Jimmy to a long deal? mental not tying him down now

[Grumpster]

Officials are terrible. Clearly a TD for kansas there.

[cockney hammer]

gurley

[cockney hammer]

how good was that from gurly 80 yards

[Grumpster]

Can see your mob going all the way Burns. Gurley is a fucking joke.

[Grumpster]

And the fucker picks up his 18th TD of the season. Incredible.

[cockney hammer]

good luck rams

[Grumpster]

Good test of gurley's condentials against a top run defence tonight. And here's to another niners win!!!

[Far Cough]

"Fuck, I missed the game, anyway, the Vikes beat the Packers at Lambeau to keep rolling along"

[Lee Trundle]

"""is ""Diddy"" a billionaire?"" He's close to being one in the USA (worth $820m), miles away from being one if you're talking a UK billion."

[El Scorchio]

"He's probably just making a point. Sounds like he's trying to get a group of high profile African Americans to buy the team with him to try and 'redress the balance', as I believe almost all the other owners are middle aged or old white men and women. Shahid Khan at Jacksonville being the only real exception?"

[goose]

"is ""Diddy"" a billionaire? he will need to be seriously minted to buy an NFL franchise. as he decided that twitter was his best medium to launch this bid i very much doubt he is serious."

[El Scorchio]

"That's a very good point about injuries etc, Definitely lots more knee/ankle/ligament injuries than ever before. I do think the players are a bit faster thanks to lighter equipment, a bit bigger on the whole, and probably they hit a little harder. There's no doubt that running routes basically on carpet where the defenders aren't really allowed to put hands on you like in the old days really helps quarterbacks and receivers rack up yards and stats like never before and linemen are being chosen to pass protect, to the point where the running back is not so often the star or workhorse of the team any more. One notable exception sadly being that cսnt in dallas. I think a lot of it is to do with fantasy football to be honest, which is now a huge source of revenue. The rules have been slightly altered year on year in order to encourage high scoring games and shootouts where possible. It's a shame really- I love seeing a shut down defensive performance, but that doesn't happen so much any more."

[Takashi Miike]

"scorch, you talk about playing conditions but don't you think this new hybrid turf is a big reason for so many injuries in the game now? I don't hold with the argument that the game is any quicker and I'm convinced these playing surfaces fuck players physically"

[Takashi Miike]

"never saw much of him scorch but have watched some videos and I agree, he's up there with the best power backs I know I keep going on about Riggins but during that Superbowl season, in the four playoff games he carried the ball almost 140 times and was 33 :.)"

[El Scorchio]

"Yeah, you cant compare modern era QBs to older ones through stats. It's like playing catch for receivers now thanks to the rules which offer them and the passer so much protection, compared to 10 or 20 years ago. Also add the fact that playing conditions are much better now- you see footage of the likes of Unitas playing in mudbaths and now most of them are playing on pristine or fake turf."

[El Scorchio]

"Miike- in all seriousness I agree he was a quality player, whichever team you follow :) Technically a full back, but I'm adding Larry Csonka to the list too, if we're talking the best white runners."
