I thought this was a joke. Either the love of the game brought him back or the hatred of the Hoodie drove him away.

Well, before his last season they had a deal in place to trade him to Detroit and he basically told them 'nah baby nah' that he would NOT report or play for them, and would just retire instead.

The Hoodie saw his injury history and wanted to get as much out of him in a trade as possible to keep building for the future.  Not unlike when he was reported to make a committment to Garrapolo moving fwd before Kraft stepped in.

He wants to play with Brady, and only Brady.  His retirement was calculated.  He knew TB12 was done after 2019.  He needed time away to heal up. If he stayed with NE then it would have been near impossible for him to manuever for 2020 to play where TB12 plays.

In good news, it's been announced that Lamar Jackson will be the new Madden cover guy.

Yeah, had to chuckle last night when I saw that!

I had the Browns neck and neck with the Ratbirds this year and I think this pushes Clev over the top now!

Nah...Browns should finish 3rd in the division but the Bengals have been pretty aggressive in FA. Even without TheRapist Pittsburgh's a .500 team, which should be good enough to make the playoffs, with this new format. Best I'm hoping for is 8-8 out of the Browns but it will probably be worse. I do expect Mayfield to bounce back in this new system.

4 way tie at 8-8?

When BR weighs in at training camp they move him to NT! Need a large, immovable object at that spot in a 3-4!

I still think they will bring in Jameis as their backup. If his ego allows him to sit, and he'll take less money, it's the perfect position for him.

I am not against it but for what he would have to sign for, I just dont think he will lower himself to that amount.

Goodell is looking pretty good in all of this draft process.  Saw his comments today and he is dead on.  I know some teams wanted to push the draft back, but that was just so they could continue to poke and prod at these guys.

There is no reason to NOT proceed and I am glad he kept on it.  Wasnt like they could push it back a little bit and still hold the event with the crowd in Vegas. Once it was realized that was not a possibility for a long time it was the right call to do it this way.    

We shall see what sort of sense of humor he has.  Will he pipe in some boo's, or make a comment about it? That would be legit!

Goodell should do the draft in his bath robe, slippers and use the wall clock behind him, in his house, for when teams are "on the clock" considering our current situation.

Bengals are releasing Andy Dalton. Always thought New England would be a good fit.

If this is true, it's GREAT news...

What I heard from Kevin Colbert today in our interview it is obvious the decision-makers of the Pittsburgh Steelers view Mason Rudolph as heir to the Ben Roethlisberger throne.

Yawn. I can’t see Steelers winning next two SB with Roethlisberger....then he retires and Steelers being satisfied with Rudolph

I was going to ask if BR is a Steeler hater.  Rudolph is hot garbage.  But what else is Kevin Colbert going to say when you ask that question? 

Obviously Rudolph IS the heir apparent....until some better becomes an option.  They supposedly offered Winston more money than he got in NO, so that would indicate they aren't even happy with Rudolph as their #2.

I’m good with Rudolph being a 3rd string....though he’s got that look that people wanna punch. I’m ok with him being 3rd team QB for Ravens

Anyone catch the E60 on Alex Smith? Holy shit, his leg injury was insane. There is a picture showing him missing 50% of his leg. Click for picture at your own risk: https://dailysnark.com/alex-smiths-leg-week-after-injury-was-basically-a-bone-with-some-veins-attached-to-it/

I didn't watch it, but I saw the preview. I had no idea how bad it was.  Crazy that he wants to play again.  You can't complain about pro athletes trying to get paid after looking at those photos.
