I think they could get at least a 2nd or 3rd for Fields. 49ers got a 4th for Trey Lance. 

Las Vegas might be stupid enough to take a gamble on Fields for a 3rd. Beyond them? A 4th for Lance was reaching so a 4th for Fields sounds about right. 

I guess Florida State didn't deserve to go to the Playoffs after all. Seems like they just gave up the moment they found out they weren't going. 

I didn't think they were going to get beaten this badly, though. What happened to that "elite" defense? Mizzou looks like it deserved a playoff spot more than FSU. They didn't look "mid", that's for certain. 

Deshawn Watson is a scumbag. The Browns are a heartwarming story led by a guy the league left for dead. These two truths can coexist. 

At least the only people Justin Fields ripped off were the McCaskeys. Not like he's stealing from dementia patients or anything actually worth hating him for.

All I know is that I underestimated just how important Eric Bieniemy was to the functioning of the Chiefs offense. The man instilled discipline and there's no way he would've accepted the absolute horsecrap I and every other Chiefs fan this year have seen. I also apparently overestimated Brett Veach's competence. 

The defense has been lights out and it's a real shame that such a unit is getting overshadowed by the circus that is the Chiefs offense. 

I want Bieniemy back. Maybe as a head coach. Andy is getting up there in age and he isn't getting down in waist circumference. Just saying. 

Hey, I’ll take any Broncos loss whenever. Just hate that it took so dang long to clinch the division. Would be a hell of a Christmas gift. For me. For everyone else? Might as well have Saint Nicholas sending his  waste down everyone else’s chimney. 
 

EDIT AFTER LOSING TO THE FLIPPING RAIDERS: I feel like I woke up hungover to see that my house was ransacked by the Grinch. 

Here's what I think: 

More football is never a bad thing. Sometimes things don't shake out how you want but sometimes, you might find, you get what you need. 

Video related to the XFL and good music as this is the Battlehawks TD song: 
 

He's probably looking for something to hang his hat on come re-election. Keeping a team in town when they seemed destined to bail out at the 11th hour can only help Mayor Johnson. Even if it is the Bears.

I wonder if he has a morbidly obese relative named Ragona 

Okay once. And only because New York is the biggest city in the country. And they never went back and there is no mention of going back.

It'll be fun when Buffalo gets its Super Bowl in a few years.

Buffalo’s new stadium is going to be open-air. I would love Buffalo to get a Super Bowl because their fanbase deserves at least one chance to watch a Super Bowl live but also because it’ll open the door for Chicago and Kansas City. Unfortunately, the NFL isn’t going to put The Big Game anywhere outside the Sun Belt or the token northern city with a new domed/retractable roof stadium because people aren’t going to pay tens of thousands of dollars to freeze their ass off.

1990 myself so I'm one of those borderline (thank God not the pd kind) cases too. I also don't remember the Eagles wearing kelly green and my first experience with the Hartford Whalers was playing that N64 Wayne Gretzky hockey game and thinking they had the coolest jerseys ever. In 2000. But as to being a Zillennial? Yeah, I can dig that. I'm in between thinking I'm God's gift to humanity as well as having all the answers in the world and that I should take up sudoku because I care far more about things I can't control versus the things I can which arouses near uncontrollable anxiety the second sunlight touches my face. 

That aside, here are the TV Maps for next Sunday. Again, all credit goes to 506sports. Go support them. Subject to change when/if they do.

Blue: Broncos at Chargers. 

FOX 1:00 PM EST/12:00 PM CST

Blue: Rams at Ravens

Green: Falcons at Jets

FOX 4:00 PM EST/3:00 PM CST

Red: 49ers at Eagles

I just feel like sic-ing the online army on people is in bad taste after 07/30/2021. Those who know that date know what I’m talking about.

 

Did you have to cite a site called RetroMothership for that image, lol?

I’d argue, if anything, the backlash to this article might’ve put that question to bed for the next decade at least. Heck, it was already trending that way anyways considering how the media all but censored the Tomahawk Chop in 2021 compared to the first ever Amazon Prime game in 2022 where it was on full display along with the big effing drum. Anyone who would want a change now is going to be responded to with this article.

Whoa, how did this take from 2017 end up in this thread?

Ask Drew Ortiz at Sports Illustrated. If anything, encouraging diversification of skills of workers in at-risk fields of being taken over by AI is more relevant now than in 2017.

Yeah, who would’ve thought going after a kid would blow up in their face? I guess anybody with more common sense than the average person at Neo-Spin does apparently. 
 

Oh well, if that kid’s family goes through with a defamation suit then maybe everyone working there should take up some Intro to Coding classes. Just to keep their skill set up. They could mine coal too, I guess.

How is a Native American kid wearing Native American garb not in good taste?

And it’s not like it’s some “My great great great grandma was a Cherokee princess” thing either. Kid’s grandfather apparently sits on the board of the Chumash Tribe in California. So, if anyone can, this kid can. 
 

People who go after kids need to get a life. Simple as.  Or hell, at least wait 48 hours to get the facts right before shooting from the hip.  At least this hack wouldn’t have beclowned himself.
