Anything I'm forgetting people?

Spygate! The dirty secret behind their first three Lombardis.

I'll be looking at Cleveland with interest. The Factory of Sadness better not squander all that talent they just picked up.

Me too. Unless Baker is simply a bust.

[CaptainErotica]

The way he played last year I doubt it. Cleveland could be scary good this year.

[Zaphod]

What a great story. I'll be rooting for this guy.

So apparently Aaron Rodgers cameoed in last night's Episode of Game of Thrones.

Like with the rest of his career, everyone made a big deal about it, but nobody would have noticed it otherwise.

The friggin Jets are at it again. This guy should have been fired as soon as the season ended. What's the point of firing him now after the draft! They also let him hire the new coach who is now the interim GM. I just don't understand this. No wonder the Jets are such a laughingstock.

[Zaphod]

This is such a depressing read and so true.

I might get hate for this.. but I'm a Tennessee Titans fan...funny story on how I became a fan of them.

I was in high school at the time, (not really caring about the NFL too much).. and all the jocks/bullies would tease me about my name and the Titans.. they would say hey Hyton (pronounced like heighten) your Titans suck.. blah blah blah.. it was that year they got to the Superbowl and lost it by like a few inches.. then they turned around and said shit like.. well I guess your Titans don't suck that bad... anyways.. from that point on I was like fuck it.. that's my team from now on lol

Anyways.. I've stuck with the thick and thin.. and now I've seen signs of hope lol.. I think the biggest issue I feel is that our QB Mariota needs a steady coach.. I think since he's been drafted he's gone through.. 3 or 4 different coaches now..?

Thoughts?

Yep! I agree on the steady coach thing. It's essential for getting anywhere, I'd say.

Not a fan of this whole hating thing myself. You like what you like and you support the team you like.

This!

No one will get hating for loving the team they love. We all like to talk trash but we respect people's love for their teams.

A lot of owners get so impatient that they want the next coach to be that quick immediate fix. When they don't get results after two seasons they are fired. I wonder if it's due to the influence of Patriots, having so much success for so long that other owners are impatient and want someone who can come in design a team that can beat you in all phases of the game in one season. It takes time a lot of effort.

Marcus just needs to have a QB coach that can help him understand film better, what to look for, and how to pick defenses apart. I feel like some coaches micro manage them and he is not confident in his abilities and extend plays.

Sam Darnold doesn't wish Tom Brady a happy birthday.

https://nesn.com/2019/08/why-jets-qb-sam-darnold-didnt-want-to-wish-tom-brady-happy-birthday/

It's funny, honestly. Looking forward to seeing what Darnold does in the NFL.

Anyone else excited for the season starting?

[Lady Sakura]

I'm ready! Preseason for us tomorrow Bane! And Sam is a jerk. I hope our defense shite on him twice.

Woah, hold on Sakky! You do know this is the year Brady's arm turns into a wet noodle, right?

Don't have much input on the team, but I couldn't possibly hate on a story that wholesome.

Fuck you very much.

Wasn't that supposed to be last year? Or the year before that? Or the year before that?

[Nico]

I am having way too much fun with this.

[Deamonbane]

My point was that they've been predicting that Brady would be on a downward spiral for years now, and he's just kept on proving them wrong. For instance:

[Deamonbane]

Whelp, looks like the Cowboys are going to have a rough year.

[Lady Sakura]

Good, no one likes the cowboys anyway!

[Deamonbane]

In other news, Patrick Chung got indicted on a felony cocaine charge. For fuck's sake...

Skip Bayless will die for the Cowboys. Or drink all the Diet Mountain Dew
