"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."

Collingsworth made a joke at the expense of the Raiders over index cards!

Terrible snap

what was the claret? the eagles line are getting no pressure on brady

Index card comment there #wanker!

"that was a brilliant catch, he's an elite receiver"

Foles does look like an arse bandit though

"Nice start from the eagles, Foles looking good for a back up"

what a throw/catch

Wow

hahaha

AS a Raider i'll Disagree that he's the best ref

"seven minutes already on the field for the defence, best referee in the game in charge"

Bill Belichick is such a miserable git. Go Eagles!!

Will Tom terrific fart roses again

"backed the eagles, I just can't support the patriots"

Come on the Eagles!

I enjoyed this: Mic'd up at the Pro Bowl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXlKPUZks8Y Part of it is really liking Payton and Brees. That said the do often sound like old white men trying to be hip and failing.

I think Smith is a great bit of business considering the situation.

"Big Vern's our main tight end now, Reed's like the NFL version of Carroll"

"At the end of the day, he's not a next level QB, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse for the Chiefs. Brilliant at game management and with a decent set of players around him he'll be winning more than he loses. And his favourite ever receiver was Big Verne at the niners - they had telepathy I tell ya ;o)"

"letting him leave the 49ers was a disaster, you've got a good one now though. just get that deal signed :.)"

"I wouldn't be unhappy about Smith joining, but having followed him for my team (49ers) and my missus's team (Chiefs) for so long, I just think he's missing that ""je ne sais quoi"". But as ES has highlighted, if DILFER can win a ring, then who knows..."

"I'd love us to develop a young QB for half a dozen years and develop a dynasty but we tried that with Rg3 and there's no guarantees that will pay off. right now we need stability and Cousins had no intention of signing the deal Smith has agreed to, and to go in to a third year with him on a franchise tag and paying probably close to $30m for one season again was utter madness. we instead get a steady pro for four years and we save a few dollars that can help strengthen our defence. I hate the redskins GM Bruce Allen so I don't think we'll ever win anything while him and Snyder are at the club but I'm not unhappy about Smith joining us"

"If you have a great defence and a good running game, then Alex Smith can absolutely win you a super bowl. I mean, TRENT DILFER won one, for heaven's sake."

Mahomes looks an outstanding prospect. I think he'll do well for the Chiefs. Smith is a bit of a weird one. He's a very good QB without ever being spectacular which is probably what you need to be a Super Bowl winner.
