If Carson Palmer is worth 2 first round picks, what does that make Andrew Luck worth to any team that would try and trade up?

I would only give up 2 first rd picks for 3 players in the league. The raiders just set their franchise
Back about 10 years.

Rex Ryan is just an arrogant asshole.

When he first got the Jets job a lot of people thought he was great because of how outspoken he was. I never liked the guy. He's just an arrogant ass... and that's all there is to it. He's the only coach in the NFL that I hate. I used to watch the Jets and liked them as a team (they weren't my team, but I liked them). I now root for the Jets to fail solely because of this guy.

I enjoy Ryan running his mouth.

Always chirping, never really doing shit.

Haha I love what Norv said back to him. I really don't think Ryan was trying to take a shot at Norv with his comments though.

I didn't think Rex said anything wrong at all in that situation.

And even if he did take a shot, it would have been justified. Norv sucks.

Rex Ryan = Charlie Weis (but with more success as a Head Coach)

Loud, obnoxious, abrasive, obese

Can't stand the Steelers but what are your thoughts on this fine? I guess he could've had a team official call her but really?

If it was Tom Brady or Peyton Manning they wouldn't have been fined /sarcasm. Its pretty dumb but its the rule I agree about why not just have someone else call her.

A warning or smaller fine would've be more appropriate in this situation IMO. Especially when during the same week the league fined AJ Hawk the same amount ($10K) for deliberately throwing the middle finger during a game and didn't even bother fining Head Coaches who were about to scrap after their post-game handshake.

Sucked to have Marshawn Lynch in your lineup in fantasy which I did in 2 leagues.

I would guess that at least 50% of the fines are utter garbage....including this one

Troy should have been fined, but definitely not 10k
