^ Who wants strategy anyway?

[Vic2012]

Why even bother kicking off?

[MudShark22]

Kickers will just kick it slightly shorter again to entice returns until the NFL just bans all kickoffs

[NogbadTheBad]

But it's always right when it's right.

But you still have no idea when it is right because its wrong the rest of the time.

But that 0.14% of the day he is right.... Boy and howdy!

Then it gives you a chance to maybe one day be right.

Isn't that the same kickoff rule that is currently used in the NCAA?

[Scott Bails]

NFL owners took what might be their final step Tuesday toward decreasing injuries on kickoffs before considering a more dramatic set of changes, approving a rule that will incentivize fair catches on balls fielded outside of the end zone.

This season, a fair catch on a kickoff will be placed at the 25-yard line regardless of where it is fielded. The proposal is designed to counteract a recent increase in "pop-up" kickoffs that some teams use to pin the returning team deep in their own territory.

Awful.

He said he wanted to play with Lamar. Let's see if he will play for Baltimore's price.

Well, they traded draft picks & player(s?) to acquire him, and we can be sure that they aren't tanking for a younger, cheaper wide receiver. Which means they've figured out that Kyler Murray isn't the answer.

Lamar was one of 5(?) quarterbacks he said he'd like to play with. Not all are on teams with cap space, though.

[moecurlythanu]

You don't say.

I just hope Young can breathe some life into the Panthers.

[moecurlythanu]

^ I've read reports saying that he's wowing the coaching staff, others saying he can't see over his O-line. I did see some early practice footage that looked like "Take Your Kid To Work Day," but drawing conclusions before the real games is problematic.

Yeah, my fingers are crossed hard.

Ray Lewis III, son of Ravens Hall of Famer Ray Lewis, dies at 28. No details are available.

New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones found himself in major legal trouble after being arrested at Boston Logan International Airport for allegedly carrying two loaded firearms in his carry-on luggage.

For someone who has been involved in countless incidents over the years, including commercial burglary, Jones' latest stunt is one of the most inexplicably stupid we've ever seen.

To attempt to bring two illegal guns with illegal large-capacity feeding devices onto a plane (with your carry-on luggage, no less).. Oh, and the guns were even loaded for crying out loud.. Wow.

There's no words to explain just how unbelievably stupid it was – and Jones is going to have to pay the price for it, most likely with mandatory jail time.

Further testing confirmed that New York Jets safety Chuck Clark suffered a season-ending torn ACL during practice earlier this month, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday. I guess a seventh round pick wasn't such a bad trade after all.

Last year's Thanksgiving Day game between the New York Giants & Dallas Cowboys was watched by 42 million people - making it the most-watched regular season game in NFL history.

(Dallas won 28-20.)

I’m pretty sure they will put fucking Jon Kitna in there before they put me. Matter of fact, Scott Mitchell will end up in that motherfucker before I do.
