Bartimaeus Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) I like preseason, actually (...sans pointless injuries). But there's not too much to talk about.

ManifestedISO Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Six sacks in the first half, who cares if it doesn't count. DEFENSE! 2-0 Edit: Two wins and no losses feels good no matter what time of year.

Bartimaeus Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) And Jordy Nelson tears his ACL in pre-season. I spoke too soon. (e): And Aaron Rodgers currently has his throwing arm wrapped up, our first round pick Demarious Randall was carted off the field, TJ Lang is being evaluated for a concussion...

Guard Dog Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Great performance by the Bucs first team last night. JW looks a lot more comfortable back there. He is still staring down his receivers and not checking off but all and all much improved.

ManifestedISO Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Love it, Dan Fouts calling the national broadcast for Lions and Jags. Usually we get him in the CBS8 booth for Chargers games ... Dan's the man, great voice, keen situational awareness, comedic, Hall of Fame confidence. Anyway, tomorrow night, Seahawks, 0-2, Chargers, 2-0. *jinks avoidance wood knock* *spelling failure ... I'm being told it's ... jinx Edited August 29, 2015 by ManifestedISO All Stop. On Screen.

Bartimaeus Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I'm watching the Patriots-Panthers game. Good lord, I hate the Patriots announcers: absolutely terrible in the Packers-Patriots game, and absolutely terrible in this game. Worst local announcers I've heard out of the pre-season. Vikings had the best I've heard thus far. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

ManifestedISO Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Seahawks could fly away with this one, but, I'm okay, it's pre-season military appreciation week ... Any other teams that do this ... I'm unaware. Besides, losing in the pre-season is good ... last time SD went 4-0 was in '00, with Ryan Leaf, on their way to a 1-15 season.

As a Browns fan, I can't say I'm that sad. Maybe we'll actually have a decent season for the first time in a couple decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoch Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Interstate Commerce? Baseball set the precedence. More precisely, it's the intersection between federal labor laws and federal antitrust laws. The NFL CBA is a collectively bargained-for labor agreement established under applicable federal labor relations law. This is taken seriously because the owners of the individual businesses that make up the League need the antitrust exemption that is provided by federal labor laws to agreements resulting from collective bargaining. (The NFL teams do a lot of stuff that would be per se illegal under antitrust law-- among other things, the draft and the salary cap.) Disputes arising under the NFL CBA are therefore grounded in federal law and provide for subject-matter jurisdiction in federal court. That said, yeah, this ended up in Court mostly because of how laughably arbitrary the dispute resolution process within the terms of the CBA actually is.

Guard Dog Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Bucs cut Da'Quan Bowers today. Remember when he was touted as the best defensive player in the draft? He may have been talented but his work ethic was awful.

Keyrock Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Woohoo, the season is almost here! My annual tradition of ignoring anything NFL related as best I can from shortly after the superbowl until just before the regular season starts is now over and I'm ready to talk footbaw again. So, how about dem Cowboys? No, really, someone fill me in. I know Jerral paid Dez and let DeMarco go (and got Darren McFadden), beyond that, I'm mostly in the dark.

Enoch Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dem Cowboys are what they have always been: An embodiment of everything that is wrong about America. Those who support them deserve nothing but heartache and ruin. (Also, they signed a great pass-rusher who will miss the first 4 games because he likes to hit women, and their best DB blew out his knee.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Enoch is in mid-season form already. Anyway, word is that Romo looked... mobile during pre-season, I dunno, I never watch anything pre-season. If he can move like a human again that would be helpful. That said, I'll still cringe anytime he drops back to throw and there's a defender within 5 yards of him, because I know he's potentially 1 hit away from retirement.

ManifestedISO Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Oh, okay, that makes sense ... pro football and beer advertising go hand-in-hand because when your team gets pummeled into the turf at the home opener, you need medicine to make the pain go away.

Keyrock Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Panthers got a W in week 1, granted it was against the Jags, so not time to celebrate. I have to start getting into the mode of cheering for the Panthers as my #2 team (the Cowboys will always be #1) since I plan to move to Charlotte next year. I mean, getting tickets will likely be hard, but if I'm going to live in a city with a NFL team right there, I might as well try to go to some games. It's not a team I cared about in either direction before, luckily, they're not a division rival of the Boys, so there's no conflict except for 1 game a year at most (unless they both make the Superbowl).
