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."

OccupyGreenStreet 9:37 Sun Oct 25 Same here - I have Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb. Andy Dalton left today's match after getting a shot to the head so I guess that'll mean he is our for a few weeks.

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Yup, my Fantasy scores have tanked since Dak Prescott went down. Even Elliott's hardly scoring now."

[crystal falace]

"Dallas are proper shit, great to see"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Looks like Beckham got bashed up against the Bengals, trying to make a tackle after a Mayfield interception. He won't be happy with his QB about that. Knee knack. They'll be hoping it's not bad - but he's done for today."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Well, it's Sunday - so it must mean the Jets are losing again! Currently losing 12-10 to the Bills, after blowing a lead. Hurtling towards 0-7 unless they can turn things around in the 4th quarter."

Vintage Saints. Brees running things and putting the team on his arm. Michael who? And the defence laughably bad so he has to.

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Agreed Hermit, he's probably not a long-term solution, but should get 12+ points each game Sanders is out. IOC, yes mate, monitor things and we'll see in the week."

[Hermit Road]

On reflection I should have offered you a WR for him. That TD did him the world of good at the end but I'm not sure that gets repeated again.

"OccupyGreenStreet 6:42 Sun Oct 25 I will check how Jones is doing. Starting 3 receivers this week and have one on a bye, so maybe."

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Was happy to trade the Philly back up RB who scored 15+ points this week for a WR2/3, but no takers. Happy to trade him again (even on a week's loan) as I'm light on WRs next week."

[Hermit Road]

"My Fantasy team is decimated. Two top 20 RBs on IR, Another one on a bye, and the number 1 receiver on a bye too."

[ironsofcanada]

Aaron Jones out and with him any real chance I have to do anything fantasy-wise. But I get to start porn-stache Minshew at QB.

[Takashi Miike]

"hermit, that should come in comfortably another good bet from the same game is cole beasley +54 receiving yards. the Bills number two receiver John Brown is out, so Allen will go to him more, with Diggs the main target +80"

[Hermit Road]

Anyone got any bets going today? I'm thinking the Bills -10 at evens is good value against the Jets. May also go over 45 points in that game. Bengals at 13/8 And over 44.5 points at evens in the Football Team game.

Far Cough 1:57 Sat Oct 24 Led at points by a player before both our times - George Mikan. Also in NBA names that should have been changed after a move news - Utah Jazz (previously New Orleans) - who played in Mardi Gras colours for years.

Lakers started off as Minneapolis Lakers

[Mr. Burns]

"Falace, Don't forget the Raiders played in LA as well."

[ironsofcanada]

"Not an isolated case unfortunately https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sportspeople_convicted_of_crimes#American_football_(gridiron) That said, our own James Tomkins makes the list directly below. (Also did not know of about Mark Ingram's father.)"

[Takashi Miike]

"good DT (won a superbowl) before he signed for us, it was downhill from there after that"

Ex 49ers Dana Stubblefield sentenced to prison for rape Remember the name but don't remember too much about him

"lowermash, have a look at this link. it lists them all on here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_franchise_moves_and_mergers"

[ironsofcanada]

"Lowermarshhammer Wiki is your friend for a full list https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_franchise_moves_and_mergers Chicago Bears are one of the older ones but began as the Decatur Staleys for instance. There was video of it for 100th anniversary last year but apparently I can't find it now. Similarly story in NBA, MLB and NHL and even CFL (which is older than the NFL both in name and in predecessor leagues)."

[crystal falace]

"Happens alot on american sports, lots of historical examples like the browns moving to baltimore, then the colts moving to indiana, oilers moved to tennesee. Rams moved from LA to St Louis and back, Chargers moved to LA from San diego recently. And just this season is the forst season of the Vegas Raiders formerly of Oakland"

[lowermarshhammer]

Honest interested question from someone who know next to nothing on the subject. How many times have franchises been purchased and moved to a different location in the style of MK Dons in the history not the NFL? And how many teams are there? Thanks for replies.

And now they don't have a QB who throws interceptions for fun.
