"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."

The Vikes clinch a playoff spot.
Which was nice.
Any chance you can rest, I dunno, maybe all your starters this coming weekend? My run of victories at Lumen Field is under threat here

If Geno’s done his knee and Howell is our starting QB for the rest of the season then that’s that. Ah well, I shall enjoy my trip over for this next game regardless

Spot on TM.
He is getting better and better unlike the clown show Giants QB collective and Will "Pick 6" Levis..
That last TD throw by Cooper Rush was spectacularly good.
zeb, horrific second half. the coaches lost the plot, but we managed to hang on

did you see Edelman, Brady and Gronk (together) asked about him dealing with the modern recruitment process?
i'd have thought he may have a specialist with him to deal with these parasitic college agents, as I doubt he'd have the patience for the ridiculous demands they throw at these colleges now
Yeah, he's definitely going to lose patience with the agents and hangers on, who are even worse at college level because there's an even bigger gulf between lack of talent and naked ambition. Would not be surprised if he recruits his son or someone else to deal with that. Imagine him in a room full of agents for 18-year-old kids - most of whom are not going to make it? He will lose his shit.

apparently he'll set the groundwork for his boy, Stephen, to take over in a year or two's time, that's what a coach I listen to thinks will happen. Already reports he's on his way after just a year as the DC with Washington University. It's not what you know
That would not surprise me, TM.
Bill will toughen up those kids and get them NFL-ready. But he's going to fall out with any big egos.

Belichick going to college football as head coach of the Tar Heels.
Imagine how unforgiving that training ground will be. Kids will rightly clamour to play for him, of course. But that's one college system that won't be a barrel of laughs. No Jonny Football in that dressing room!

To be fair, they didn't blow it as much as it was an incredible play by a player that has been one of the few bright spots in the Saints' season.

No need to apologise, fella. The Jets’ ability to lose from seemingly unassailable positions is astonishing.
And on it goes.

23 -23 against the Fish, with 4mins left in the game. After being comfortably ahead. But we have the ball.
These are the moments when a top-level QB and a good play-caller get you over the line...

No doubt about that, it's just strange the record holder (Fletcher) isn't in there. Well I know why, but it's a personal insult to him considering how quickly Lewis got in

Bobby Wagner has had his thirteenth consecutive season hitting 100 tackles or more, surpassing that mark again on Sunday against the Titans . He's now tied with Ray Lewis, but still one season of 100 behind the great London Fletcher (still not in the Hall of Fame)
Was my favourite Seahawk for a long time. Deffo a future Hall of Famer
