"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."

Just a hunch that Steve Tisch may not be involved with the New York Giants for much longer....

Big Blue hire Matt Nagy as their OC. It's a step in the right direction.

After shipping off my eldest to Idaho for him to begin his college football career after receiving a full ride scholarship at Idaho state, my youngest who is still a Junior in high school received his first offer today for a full ride to play football at Oregon State. Beyond blessed and happy! Both of my Boys will be playing college football for Division 1 schools. One in the PAC 12 conference the other in the Big Sky conference! So proud! All the running around and coaching fees and money spent has paid off!
UCLA also has a strong interest in my youngest so we will see if they offer him too. Couldn’t be happier!
This is such good news, Nutsin. You must be really proud, fella. Tell ‘em everybody on WHO is rooting for them. That’ll scramble their brains (“dad - why are a bunch of generally unhinged West Ham fans calling for us to start college games..?).
Here are some highlights of one of my Sons games. 8 for 8 176 yards against one of the top high schools in Southern California, Los Alamitos. He is 6’4” 220 Lbs runs a 4.7 40 yard dash still only 17 years old.

South Bank and Mike.
Irrational hatred for the Pats aside.
Id much appreciate both of your honest opinions on this match up ?.
Cheers
I think it's a pretty even match up. Patriots have the edge in regard to coaching experience, but young Mike (who we wanted before we got Quinn) has done great in Seattle. Both defences are good. On the attacking side of things, the Seahawks arguably have the one true elite player on either team in Njigba. I also like the running back Walker, but losing Charbonnet has put the full load on him, so I think the Pats may have the edge there with Stevenson, and the more explosive Henderson. Kooper Kupp has probably the most big game experience, so you wouldn't put it past him having an impact. Pats also have a very good veteran TE in Hunter Henry. Not a fan of Kraft, but really like Vrabel/Maye and would be happy for them to win, but I just see Seattle getting over the line if Darnold keeps his cool
*fence sitting but these are hard to separate*
Cheers Mike

Nobody outside of New England. Likes New England. Why do you think Belichick hasn’t made it into the Hall Of Fame. At the first time of calling.?
GO G MEN.
All on one certain journo apparently?.
Imagine being that eaten up with bitterness.
I hate everyone too.... this journo skid mark is clearly on another level entirely .
Go Pats.

The greatest “What If.” In the NFL is. If Cleveland hadn’t have folded. Would they have become the great dynasty under Belichick. That New England did.?

I liked NE when Raymond Berry was HC and had players like linebacker Andre Tippett.
Didn't Bill Parcells coach them at one point?

New England also has the better defense.
Fake news - Seattle has the number 1 rated defence.
Thank you for your attention on this matter
“Ratings” have little bearing on actual match-ups, though, Joe. They just stopped Denver in their tracks in Denver (albeit with the home side hamstrung by a backup QB). Seattle were impressive in disposing of the Rams, but LA took good yardage off your defense.
I want your boys to win it. But the Patsies are fired up, on a roll and have a Vrabel-led defense. It won’t be easy.
(Apologies, I mistakenly wrote 49ers in my first draft: meant the Rams: they’re all the same “out west”!)
