    Those foam arms he's wearing are about as convincing as a Tesco halloween costume.

    Crowell has torn his Achilles so the Raiders have re-signed Doug Martin.

    It'll be interesting to see how many of the AAF guys stick on a roster this season. I'm not expecting it to be many.

    Clemson landed the #1 QB in this high school recruiting class, DJ Uiagaleilei (you can see him in the background of the second season of QB1 where he’s backing up Re-al Mitchell & comes across way better than Mitchell).

    Looks like at least another 5yrs of Clemson v Alabama in the Natty...

    I assume at some point somebody is going to make a documentary about the AAF and it's going to be interesting viewing.

    https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/05/08/al...marshawn-lynch
    Another story that spread far across the AAF offices has Marshawn Lynch crashing the league’s quarterback draft last November at the Luxor casino in Las Vegas. According to one employee, Lynch, whose cousin Josh Johnson was the first pick in that draft, and who is notoriously media-averse, agreed to do a two-minute interview for the Alliance at that event in exchange for $5,000. But when a check was presented to Lynch, he asked that his money be delivered instead in quarters—which AAF co-founder Charlie Ebersol took seriously. In the end, 20,000 quarters were delivered to Lynch’s room and the interview apparently took place . . . but no one ever saw it. It didn’t air.
    At the outset of the AAF, theoretically as enticement to join the league, players were promised “coins” that could bolster their standard three-year, $250,000 deals. A player could earn a coin, for example, by scoring a touchdown, forcing a turnover or downing the football inside the 10-yard line on a punt. You could also earn a coin for doing community service. And at the end of the season those coins (the specific value of which, players report, was never detailed) would be tallied up and calculated into a bonus.

    “Guys were excited, because you could do community service once a week,” says one player. “We were thinking, Oh, this is going to be easy money.”

    As speculation swirled that the league was on shaky ground, however, players started to question the value of what they were really earning. One player who led his team in coins says it was a running joke to debate their worth based on the reported financial status of the league. “Is it seven dollars, or seven hundred?” he says, making note that in initial pitches the Alliance told some players they could feasibly double their salaries with coins. “Now,” he says, “I guess I’ll just go play Monopoly and win the same amount of money.”

    He was heavily mooted to us but I'm glad the Seahawks came in late. I don't think he's very good and I like what we've got.

    Telvin Smith has decided to sit out the upcoming season to 'get his world in order'. Hopefully he's okay. Still not a good reason to draft Quincy Williams in the third though.

    Oh, and Benjamin Watson has come out of retirement to catch 10 TDs for the Patriots.

    Dolphins have given Xavien Howard a 5 year $76.5m deal with $46m guaranteed.

    Seahawks have cut Baldwin and Chancellor with failed physical designations and both are rumoured to announced their retirements.

    Lol. There was talk that he & Gase weren’t getting in already, apparently because Gase didn’t want to pay up for Bell, so he’d probably got his bags packed already.

    Stick To Football power ranked the NFL teams on their podcast today, so I thought I'd give it a go as well:
    Toggle Spoiler


    I'm also going to throw out a couple of way too early bold predictions - 49ers & Bills get wildcards in their conferences.

    This should be fun to laugh at in week two when it's already all completely blown out of the water.

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if all three teams went 9-7 this year, so you can pretty much put them in any order.

    Patrick Peterson has been banned for 6 games.



    The six-game suspension on a player's first violation stems from a positive test plus an attempt to manipulate or mask the result.

    I wonder how he tried to mask the result.

    Talk is Gerald might go to the Saints He’ll probably end up on the Patriots though.

    Reuben Foster is going to end up being one of the bigger busts in recent memory given all he’s done is be injured and/or suspended since his rookie season.

    OBJ's orange Rolls Royce with the little stauette of himself in a Browns kit rising out of the front in place of the angel is one of the most vulgar things I've ever seen, and I could not love it more.

    It’s only a 1yr, $10.5m deal with $4m guaranteed too, so he must really think Carolina have a shot this year (or he must have really wanted to play against the Bucs twice).

    He probably wouldn't have been even if he'd stayed on the team. The Patriots will just change their entire scheme to maximise their best players, so expect basically fuck all from the TEs & loads of work for the Edelman & all the RBs with Harry being the closest thing to a Gronk replacement.

    Anyway, apparently Trent Williams wants to be traded as he's mad about how the team handled his injury. He's one of the best LTs in the league, so there should be some decent offers incoming. Probably not from Houston, Arizona or Seattle though, since they seem to love having a bad O-line. I wonder if someone like the Jets or Dolphins might make a play for him. Browns would be wise to see if they can make it work too.

    Even more so now that they’ve just waived Desmond Harrison.

    Seems like a wild punt for someone that's been pretty injured, pretty regularly.

    Hope it works out, but there's no nick foles safety net next year.

    That's a pretty surprising move, but then Houston have always felt like a front office that's permanently trying to stop itself from falling apart, so I guess it kinda fits.

    He was also a borderline MVP candidate in their SuperBowl year & didn't actually regress that much last year. He'll probably never be an 'elite of the elite' type guys, but he's probably a top 10 QB in the league, so it's not like they're throwing big money at Jimmy G after less than half a season of games in his whole career.

    They must be pretty happy with his health, or have some heavy safety nets in that contract to hand him all that money with this in mind.

    The Foles point worries me though. Wentz has been great and lead us to the play-offs in 2 of his 3 years. However he's not been there to enjoy that. Foles was the perfect back up(I also think the team plays much better with him as QB). We should make the play-offs again this coming season, but we're all going to be holding our breath after every sack he takes.

    There's also raping an unconscious teenager and more lewd shit like wanking in front of old women.

    Gruden, Mayock, AB & Incognito should be worth a watch alone, then you add in Josh Jacobs' story & Foster Moreau's elite whistling ability & you've got an amazing Hard Knocks.
