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."

Be a bit difficult to kick somone out at the draft stage i think as you're then a team down in the league

[Takashi Miike]

"yes, I'll have it. IN"

[IsaacHock]

I'm in pls. Just one suggestion for this year - anyone that doesn't turn up for the draft is kicked.

[crystal falace]

"Well thats 6/12 already so looking promising Usually like to do the draft as late as possible, dont want anybody's first round picks getting injured in training or a meaningless preseason game, will try and set a date once we have confirmed memvers and what works best for the most people, usually a sunday evening"

[bobbymoore]

I'll join up

[NEVER SAY DIE]

I'm in again Crystal

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"I'm up for it crystal, if WHO's got the numbers for a league again."

"crystal falace 1:27 Fri Jul 12 Let me know Crystal, last year was crazy for me in the pre fantasy season but more stable this year (not planning on switching countries a couple times this year)"

[Mikey P]

Count me in. When is the draft?

[crystal falace]

That time of year again with training camps just around the corner. If i renew or set up a new fantasy league would there be enough interest again in doing it?

[zebthecat]

"Surely not. I mean, really..."

[Takashi Miike]

I think your mob need him more than us

[RBshorty]

Bears. Jets. Or Skins. Just for entertainment value.

Apparently Brett Favre has just announced on his instagram that he's planning on coming out of retirement for the upcoming season!!

"Ironically, Williams might well be the more important coach at the Jets already. We have Darnold on offense, and that has drawn a lot of attention - along with Bell's signing. But the defense looks very solid - especially upfront and at safety. Len Williams alongside #3 draft pick Quinnen Williams in the centre of the defensive line looks like the opposition will be running into a brick wall. And Jamal Adams at safety, and as captain, is just getting better and better. Gregg Williams (why are they all called Williams?) has a fair bit to work with."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Definitely agree about Gregg Williams. I'd be surprised if he hasn't been told exactly that - the Jets would have needed to show him something more than Washington and it seems that Gase is a ""sink or swim"" guy in New York. Williams looks like a very solid back-up plan."

[southbankbornnbred]

"One thing Gase was upset with MacCagnan about was Le'Veon Bell's contract. It seems Gase likes Bell as a player, but thinks the Jets significantly overpaid for him. Which is probably true. I think Gase was upset because Bell's contract limits his ability to bring in other established offensive players through free agency. He wanted a talented WR, but Bell's contract stopped us from being able to afford an elite level wideout. I kinda' side with Gase on that one, despite how talented Bell is (and he is a very good RB)."

[Takashi Miike]

"I think Greg has been given the nod that he'll be taking over if as expected it all goes wrong. I know we made him a good offer to take over as DC but he preferred New York, I'm sure he's next in line. I know bell is not the perfect example of a model professional but what sort of cսnt digs out a star running back before he's even played a game? every defeat will create more pressure and the NY media won't hold back"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Personally, I think Mike McCarthy was the better option as HC for the Jets. He desperately wanted the job, not least because he wanted to work with and develop Sam Darnold. But in typical Jets fashion, the owners went elsewhere. Rumour has it that GM MacCagnan wanted McCarthy and that was the origin of the split that led to his departure. Still, Gase is now our man - so we get behind him. At the very least it will be interesting..!"

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - I agree entirely. We're going to have to find a GM quickly, and it will need to be one who can get along with Gase (that will be difficult) but who also stands his ground and can plan for a life without Gase. Gase is either going to be the best thing that happened to Jets coaching since Herm Edwards, or he's going to be an unmitigated and divisive disaster. Early signs are not good, which is a shame because he has put together a very talented group of assistants and coaches. Don't be surprised to see DC Williams take over from Gase if the HC loses the locker room quickly. He's marmite - the players are going to love him or hate him."

[Takashi Miike]

"when a heard coach starts having influence over who's the gm, and especially when the cսnt has just walked through the door, it's a case of the tail wagging the dog and a recipe for disaster"

[southbankbornnbred]

"I see the Jets' ability to undermine every positive situation that they ever had with a self-inflicted crisis has reached new heights. No sooner had the dust settled on a decent-looking draft than the new head coach Adam Gase has had a huge fall-out with GM Mike MacCagnan - and MacCagnan has been sacked! So rather than stability and a more offensive approach under Gase, the Jets next season will be one characterised by all the usual uncertainties that surround a new GM/new HC relationship. I bet Sam Darnold is beginning to regret signing in Gotham! Gase is a weird HC. He talks and acts like he's Bill Belichick - and there are some things about him that I really like (particularly his choices of back-up staff: we've got a strong coaching staff now). But, beyond his stint as offensive co-ordinator in Denver, he has achieved very little in the game. His record in Miami was 23-25, which hardly set the world on fire. Now he's bitten the head off the man who helped to appoint him, which seems a bit OTT for a guy who hasn't even coached a single competitive game for the Jets just yet. Gase is now going to have to stop talking and walk the walk in Gotham - or he's going to be joining a very long list of very forgettable head coaches. Hold on to your hats, it's going to be interesting..."
