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."

"first year player gets half a million dollars a year with a couple of mill signing fee. the only savage bit about is they have to earn their money, unlike 'soccer' players who are mostly stealing a living"

[Hermit Road]

"I agree with the league, but to be fair, the players aren't paid that well. I reckon they're the worst treated professional sportsmen in the world. Their contracts are savage."

"completely agree with the league, the NFL is not to blame and these players get paid silly money so don't bite the hand that feeds you. If you want to demonstrate then do it some place else like outside the whitehouse or a police station"

Home of the brave. Land of the free.!

"NFL players who kneel during the anthem will be fined, they will have to stay in the changing rooms NO MORE FUCKING KNEELING"

[Hermit Road]

That rugby player is a beast. He should be a tight end with his ball skills but they'll have him on the O-line and use him as a 350 pound wrecking ball. All in a year or two.

"Been taking a good look at the Jets' only other 'high round' pick on offense this year - Chris Herndon, tight end from Miami Uni. I like the look of this kid. He's got good hands and is agile for a TE. He runs tight routes, and has a good habit of quickly getting open before the 10 yard line. Doesn't have break-away pace, but then few TEs have that. Doesn't add much to the blocking game, either. But he looks like he has the potential to turn into a good short-field and medium-field receiving target for Darnold. It's a decent bit of thinking from Bowles and his new O/C: We have a couple of decent WRs who are quick (Anderson etc), so the coaching team are not trying to stretch the field at TE: they've opted for a safe and consistent catcher, with Darnold's check-downs in mind. The issue will be the Jets' O-line. It's still quite weak. The team still has so many weaknesses that nobody will be expecting huge things from Darnold next term. But if they can focus on the trench war in the next draft, they might start to really push on in 2020."

"Quite liked the pats draft in the end, took a couple of decent linebackers and a high potential corner in the late rounds Also is a good sign Brady is planning on llaying flr atleast another couple lf years as they didnt take a QB til the 7th round"

[Takashi Miike]

"hermit, I watched it to the end last night and you drafted a rugby league player from the rabbitohs. 21, 6ft 8 & 350 lbs to play on the OL. the tv panel brought him on the set for an interview and he's a man mountain but it'll may take him a year to get ready"

[Hermit Road]

"The award for most ridiculous name in the draft goes to... Ja'Whaun Bentley, the 143 overall pick to New England. Fancy bring named after a car."

Takashi Miike 11:16 Sat Apr 28 Yep. The Birds have had a blinder with Goedert and also Maddox. Nipping in front of Dallas in Dallas to sign Dallas was the highlight though.

[Takashi Miike]

he knows so much about players that he's probably already shortlisted targets for next year's draft

[crystal falace]

Next year

[crystal falace]

"Yeah lots of people moning about them trading picks but they got great value, they traded their second for a 4th and the bears 2nd rounder next year which should be much higher Also traded their 4th steaight up for the Lions 3rd next week"

[Takashi Miike]

"your boss is the master of the trade, i wouldnt ever criticise his tactics as there's no one better at talent spotting"

[crystal falace]

"Doesnt bother me, we took our running bsck in the first round Pats might not pick again at this rate, just keep on trading away picks, some very good value though stocking up for next year"

[Takashi Miike]

"love our 4th round pick. big, powerful safety with extreme SPEED"

[Takashi Miike]

"i bet you cant wait to wank yourself silly over TMZ's bullshit story. you fucking sad, bitter individual :.)"

[crystal falace]

Nothing to do with the patriots you spanner TMZ have reportedly got a story that they were holding off on until after he was drafter

[Takashi Miike]

you cunts had a chance to sign him and now you're desperate for some scandal on a player who's not even played a pro game yet. as bad as tottenham/millwall fans

[crystal falace]

"No idea yet, just rumours, peiple were speculating that because there was an investigation into it and no wrong doing found there may be evidence that he made it up, But like i said purely speculation at the moment"

[Takashi Miike]

"what story? the one where certain cunts at the combine, presumably potential employers, were asking him shit like ""do you like men"" & ""is/was your mother a prostitute?"". that story?"

[crystal falace]

"Just been catching up on last night, listening to the podcast of the draft and people suggesting there is a story about to come out about guise which is why he fell so far down the draft"

[Takashi Miike]

hopefully we go the Alabama route again and get Anthony Avarett or Tremon Smith if Avarett's gone
