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."

I'd be up for another league this year. Miike's one has been good the last few seasons.

[bobbymoore]

I'd also be interested in a fantasy league

[zebthecat]

I'd be up for a fantasy league too. Never done an NFL one before but I bet they are suitably complicated.

[Hermit Road]

True. Very harsh. Uncalled for even.

[Far Cough]

That's just cruel

[Hermit Road]

https://youtu.be/KbbgQsTbQ9Q Something for Cough. I'd be up for a league if there's one going.

Probably Brees' last kick at the can in New Awlins but it is looking to be quite the kick. Geux Saints. who dat who dat who dat say dey gunna beat dem saints

[Mr. Burns]

Deluded.

[Nutsin]

Looking forward to watching Jimmy Gunslinger dominate the west this year......Ninerrrrrz!

[Mikey P]

I'm in again. I did get an email today from NFL.com saying the usual league has been disbanded so we will have to create a new one.

[El Scorchio]

"Takashi Miike 4:07 Have the leagues not been running smoothly? I remember it was good fun when I used to do it, apart from one guy who was a bit of a twat. (Think he vanished quite a while ago though.)"

[Far Cough]

Haha

[Grumpster]

"Mods don't like to lie Cough, so couldn't be seen to be writing such nonsense!! ;o) Really looking forward to the new season, go Niners."

[Takashi Miike]

"no, no league this year. not interested in your bollocks"

[Far Cough]

"Can a mod change the title to just NFL or even better, the Minnesota Vikings are great :-)"

[SPLATT!]

I'm in. RIP Tony Sparano.

"Season quickly approaching now with most teams starting training camp this week. Are people interested in doing a fantasy league again this year? I know Mike is usually the one who graciously organises it, or atleast just reopens the league from last year."

[El Scorchio]

Bobbymoore - that's sad news. A couple of my mates play/played for them.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Jets finally admit they made (yet another) howling error when they drafted Christian Hackenberg in Rnd 2 in 2016 - and they've traded him to Oakland for a seventh round pick, without him ever taking an NFL snap. This from the franchise hoping to bring Darnold through as the next big QB. Let's hope their coaching/scouting staff have improved significantly and can actually provide Darnold (a very fine talent) with some guidance and insight. Jets are now on their third crop of QB/offensive coaches in three seasons. Bowles' neck is on the line this year. Another poor season, which is quite likely, and he's gone I'm sure. On the plus side, Teddy Bridgewater's knee hasn't exploded during training camp. Yet."

[Takashi Miike]

never knew that but well done for sharing

[bobbymoore]

"Evening all Some of you may have heard the tragic news coming out from the Cambridgeshire Cats this weekend regarding one of their players. Charles Mack sadly passed away during a training session. If you would like to support his family, a crowdfunding page has been set up for people to donate. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/c-Mack"

[Takashi Miike]

"..........not all get anywhere near that 2m signing fee, but the smallest bonuses are over a hundred grand. what i like is you get rewarded in that second contract if you perform well, or you can string a franchise along like cousins and nick 25m+ a year and the fuck off after two years :.)"

[Takashi Miike]

"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."

[claret on my shirt]

"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"
