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."

[Norflundon]

"I just think a lot of teams are realising they don't need to pay big bucks for a RB as once they have a bit of mileage on the clock their output drops dramatically. They are drafting players for 3 years on rookie contracts and saving cap space for QB, WR and pass rushers."

Any thoughts on the Cook move by the Vikes or is it a salary cap thing?

[Far Cough]

Jets might be interested?

[Far Cough]

"Cook released by the Vikings, don't understand that one at all unless they have the next Barry Sanders lined up?"

[Far Cough]

"Agree about Elway just a great QB in that era there was some great QBs Elway, Marino, Jim Kelly, Randall Cunningham, Warren Moon, I'm not going to say Jim McMahon, he was decent but he was in a great team and agree about Barry Sanders, easily the best RB since Jim Brown but what a shit team he was on."

[southbankbornnbred]

"There were many players I loved watching from that era (Randall Cunningham being another QB, although he wasn't at the same throwing level). But the other big name who was mesmerising was Barry Sanders. Never been a better running back in the modern era. That guy was untouchable. His balance and agility have never been matched. And in a poor side, most seasons. Talk about carrying your team."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Yep - totally agree on all fronts. Brady is a brilliant percentages man: cold, calculated under pressure, knew his playbooks inside and knew the percentage chances of each throw. Seriously good in a frantic sport. But Elway had something more magical and the ability to improvise in a way that Brady couldn't. He could be 3rd and 18 (as he was on The Drive) and his primary receiver would be doubled-teamed and he'd still find a way to get the ball to his third or fourth check-down for a first down. Usually using those incredible feet to find some extra room. That's something Brady never had."

"him & payton (sweetness) are my favourite non redskin players. elway literally had you on the edge of your seat, the ultimate competitor. also loved singletary & ronnie lott"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Elway is the GOAT, in my view. Other contenders are greats - Brady, Manning, Montana, Unitas, Brees, Marino etc - but nobody has been better than that fella. Put him in that Belichick side for twenty years and he wins even more than Brady (who is unquestionably superb, and I say that sooo reluctantly as a Jets fan). But it's Elway. He often had a bang average side around him, too. The Drive is a work of art combined with sheer bloody mindedness and determination."

"Oh fuck, no! I don't want to see us implode in the dressing room - as well as on the pitch. Again! Go to Houston or somewhere pointless instead."

[IsaacHock]

"Hasn't the Hard Knocks announcement normally been made by now? Me personally, I have fingers crossed for the Jets."

[southbankbornnbred]

Jim Brown was a titan in that sport. Any sport. Decades ahead of his time. Just an unbelievable player. Incredibly sad that he's passed.

[martinbritt_63]

"Scorchio Jim Brown - a man for whom great and legend are not hyperbole - at college a star in football, basketball and lacrosse. Later an actor and activist - even Richard Pryor went to him for counsel - too late unfortunately. RIP"

[Far Cough]

"Oh shit that's a shame, one of the greatest if not THE greatest RB of all time. Was great in the Dirty Dozen as well. RIP"

[El Scorchio]

"The greatest of all time, Jim Brown, has died aged 87. RIP. https://youtu.be/b6cCXNBeVfc Love watching this video from time to time. Incredible stuff."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Can't believe that fee for the Commanders. But I bet the fans are doing cartwheels finally getting rid of Snyder. Let's hope the Jets, and the Johnson & Johnson shampoo-ers, are next out the door."

[El Scorchio]

Shame he's too late to buy chelsea. Would be hilarious.

[Takashi Miike]

"scorch, yes the curse is almost over. It's been a very miserable (almost) twenty four years under his ownership. various scandals, interference in the draft process, financial irregularities, etc. no idea what josh harris will be like, but at least we have a chance now to rebuild I'll repeat what I said before, it was mentioned by a couple of our fan channels (most of which are very good) that he was potentially looking to get out of the US and relocate here to avoid potential legal issues he may face. with that, he may reinvest some of that money on a PL club. let's hope it's not us"

[El Scorchio]

Looks like Danny boy has found a buyer for the commanders. $4.8 billion.

[On The Ball]

"Enjoyed that, cheers Norf. Amazing to think that an entire career can come from knobbing about in the street with the one kid with a ball - we played in the playground at school but none of us made it past that. It reminded me of when we hear stories of African footballers who started out kicking a can about in the dust!"

Good title interview with my brother and J bell that's worth a watch I think there's another part coming https://youtu.be/JTB24Fguel4

[Norflundon]

Good to see my brother gets the first round pick I don't really know anything about college football so no idea on our picks but he seems very happy. Filled 3 needed position. Surprised we got a TE in round 2 instead of a OT but with shultz going in free agency we did need one. Def need to beef up the O line especially with smiths injury record and probably a corner back and maybe a running back maybe even a QB. Everything I've read says the draft goes very deep in most positions except the D line. Eagles got two top players but the best one seems a complete loon. Like the look of Bijon shame we couldn't trade up would have liked to see the best running back in the draft with Pollards injury and zeke getting released.

What a weird conspiracy theory
