Dalcowboyfan92 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 5 hours ago, TheOldRoman said: Looking at ESPN's front page, the primary story is on the Super Bowl - specifically Cam Newton's struggles. The stories featured at the top are Riley Cooper being released, Delmon Young being a thug again, Johnny Manziel being a thug again, college basketball rankings, the Knicks firing their coach, and LeSean McCoy. You have to scroll down past literally a dozen videos and other stories, plus stories on the side (what an awful website), before you get to any mention of Lynch. He didn't steal attention from anything. Then Lynch played it perfectly. There'd be some people out there talking about it; but way after all these other breaking headlines. Considering Lynch was balking at the prospect of retirement for the past two seasons; it doesn't surprise me at all that Lynch is hanging them up.

Sykotyk Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Best time to bury a story is 5pm on a Friday. Why? Because nobody is paying attention to you. With the Super Bowl going on, nobody is paying attention. Sure, some Seattle fans will care. But, otherwise, his announcement will drop like a rock through the headlines. And it apparently did.

See Red Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 So they still invite the prospect and just don't allow him to participate? That seems rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They will not be invited by the NFL to Indianapolis, period. If their agent wishes to bring them there to meet with teams outside of Lucas Oil Stadium and the hotel where they house the prospects is up to them.

I just found it weird the way the article worded it, basically saying invited prospects will not be allowed to participate instead of saying prospects will not be invited to participate.

He's generally out of his element, not having followed the product in about 10 years, and he gets bashed for it. It's like the Three Stooges shorts where the guys team up to beat on Moe!

TheOldRoman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's sad to see Forte go because he was still so good. And realistically, if the new regime is doing things right, the team should compete for playoff spot in 2016 and be firmly in the playoffs in 2017. Then again, Forte is 30 and has a lot of mileage, so he could fall off a cliff really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the admiral more than I probably have shown it lately, but I feel like his opinions often make me feel stupid for being a fan of Chicago sports. That's my problem, I guess. 30 year old running backs have no leverage. I don't care how good they are. They don't merit the kind of money or years they inevitably fight for.

The good Admiral is an acquired taste. He annoyed me at first, then his prose got stuck in my head and I kinda missed when he wasn't posting. Kinda like "Cooo-stanza!" But, like many other acquired tastes, one gets tired of him from time to time. I'm sure he'd tell you he feels the same about himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
