Glad to hear Pete speak out.
during WFR i started listening to a podcast by a former punter, pat mcafee. the content is often on the vulgar side, so not something i'd listen to without headphones around my young kid... but generally very entertaining, despite some of the usual bro-type schtick and whatnot- and there's often unique interviews/guests. TO was on the show yesterday talking about the potential for a return to the NFL nearly 50 yrs old. they'd been doing a weekly thing with aaron rodgers that became more of an event following his 'immunized' status and contract/trade rumors. erin andrews has been on a few times, and was much more profane than i would have guessed. also, there is some pittsburgh bias as mcaffee and some of the cohort are yinzers... which might alienate some potential listeners. the show has also been shaped by a partnership with an online betting company, and pat's increasing involvement with WWE/pro-wrestling. when able, i prefer to watch the daily youtube stream instead of listening via XM.
anyone else on that train?
I'll put on the YouTube live stream some days doing things around the house or while at work and don't want music.. usually only during the season though.. show isn't as good in the off seasonQuote:

I like the Macaffee show a lot for a sports show. I much prefer ex players with real perspective than random talking heads. I listen a bit each day usually at my desk or doing stuff around the house.
Well TO is not just talking apparently he’s joining the Fan Controlled Football League and his QB is expected to be Johnny Manziel. Huh….
ETA , sorry late to the party lol.

I guess he hasn't been selling enough wine.
TO could have played for years longer if he wasn’t such a jackass.
Antonio Brown is listening.
Dwayne Haskins killed trying to cross a highway — hit by a dump truck
Seems an odd story. I mean…. People get hit by dump trucks crossing highways I guess, but not multi-millionaire NFL football players. RIP and thoughts to his family and everything.Quote:

As we approach draft day, let's take a look back...

Has it been that long?
Man, had we known then...
Juicier than Giselle in a hot tub.

Hmmmm.... Bill WAS the guy who "accidentally" texted Flores. Maybe he wanted to make sure TB didn't end up back in the division.
Ha! Wow, that's a crazy sequence of events.Quote:

How much will Deebo be worth?

This whole thing is weird. I get trying to get paid, but what would make him want to leave? By all accounts, they treat their players very well. Hell, they made Deebo a star by making him a runciever. I wonder what set him off?Quote:

I'm sure he just wants to get paid and is maybe overreacting / being emotional during negotiations. Sometimes it's easy to forget how young these guys are. Although he's 26 now... so would hope he'd be a bit more measured in his approach.Quote:

This, he barely made it out of those playoff games alive.Quote:

By far the worst hit he took was as a receiver not RB (in the NFC championship game against the Rams).Quote:

I guess we are going to tear this down and build a new one.

Where Bobby? I always liked where the Titans were situated and thought the stadium was perfectly serviceable.
I'm sure it's adequate, but that's not what this is about.
It's about billionaires raiding public coffers, so they can have a new facility with minimal personal investment.
It's the most profitable scam in sports.
For the Masterclass example, see the all-time fleecing Mike Brown pulled on the taxpayers of Cincinnati.Quote:

Cool. I definitely want to catch a game there. It looks amazingQuote:

Do we need a separate thread for this? Or just enjoy it for what it is here in the NFL thread?

That qualifies as off-season content.
We can sprinkle it in between free agency and draft coverage.
