So inspirational. Wow. What an example of perseverance.

But seriously, I think it's insane that he thinks he can play professional baseball after a decade of not playing. That shit is harder than it looks. He needs to get his feet wet before he jumps in the pool.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

Someone said it on Good Morning Football, they were like, "Look at Terelle Pryor. He knew QB wasn't his spot so he dedicated his craft to WR. Tebow is NOT a QB, but MAYBE he could be a TE, but no, instead professional baseball?!"

Totally agree.

.@TimTebow Have you ever thought about basketball? 20m




lololol...dude is a circus

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

Had Tebow sucked up his pride and switched positions to fullback and a teams player, he'd probably be playing in the NFL. He could have easily had a career similar to what Michael Robinson had. Robinson was a solid college QB, a better passer than Tebow, but switched positions and had a good NFL career.

Really it was a complete joke that he was drafted in the first round. Josh McDaniels is a fool and should never ever be a head coach again.

Who wants to bet he has a camera crew and this is being documented for a reality show type thing?

McDaniels is a goof, but didn't Elway have a hand in that too? Elway was the GM when the pick was made, right?

Jeff Fisher is a giant tool! It's awesome to watch him being a bully to a player, when he can get away with it.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

This is why I never side with the owners on anything financial related. The nerve of the Chargers and owners. They bitched about paying rookies all this huge sums of money, and now they are bitching about a few million.

Fuck them. After that Telesco "compromise" statement. Bosa should just tweet out that Telesco can go fuck himself and he's not signing any deal with the Chargers at this point unless now BOTH demands are met. I'd go as far as to give them a deadline to meet these demands OR I'd sit out the entire year and re-enter the draft. A team wasting a #3 overall pick because they are greedy fucks?

I am growing more and more tired of certain NFL owners and the NFL league office leadership. The NFL can do no wrong and never catch shit for the crap they pull. From strong arming cities/tax payers to pay for billion dollar stadiums to strong arming players and their union.
What amazes me the most is there is no repercussion to the NFL backing out of the promised $30 million dollar donation to the NIH to fund concussion/CTE research in 2012. In 2012 the NFL made a huge press conference and announced player safety and research was #1 priority and they were donating $30 million to NIH as an unrestricted gift with no strings attached for research and helping to create a test for CTE in living patients, which currently does not exist.
Well naturally the NIH hired the top CTE experts in the world including the Boston University team that discovered CTE.
NFL tried to pressure NIH to remove the Boston University team so the donation was pulled. The funding had to come from US tax payers, so we had to pay the bill. Stay classy NFL.
Since us fans are so hard up for NFL football nobody cares and the NFL has no price to pay for pulling this shit. They could practically commit murder and nobody would really care as long as we get our NFL football in the fall.

RG III went 4-8 for 69 yards (49 of those on the first play of the game) 1 fumble (though it was recovered by the Browns) and a pick at the goalline. Looks like he's in mid season form already

Carson Wentz hairline fracture in his ribs, out for at least the rest of the preseason.

Apple was at the top of my board for our most recent draft.

I dont have one....

That hit that cause it was pretty brutal. It was a corner blitz and he saw the guy coming. He opened himself up with his super-long, wind-up delivery trying to get rid of the ball...not a real smart play.

I said it before and I'll say it again...I have no clue how this guy was drafted #2. He played no one in college.

Yeah I taped it so I could see what he looked like and it wasnt pretty.He played 2 series.The stuff he completed was easy stuff that he would do with the skins.The fumble was his fault and the interception was a bad pass,and on 1 play I thought he should have been called for grounding.Plus just about everytime he dropped back he took hard hits,but they werent from holding onto the ball too long.He keeps taking hits like that he's not going to last long.I dont think it will be that long anyway before Mccown takes over.
Plus he had this big bun of hair hanging out the back of his helmet,I havent seen him with his helmet off in a long time so I'm interested to see what this hairstyle is he's sporting now.
I wish him no ill will,I hope he plays well for the Browns but I just dont see it.I'm so glad the distraction is gone.Even if there was no drama surrounding him i would much rather have Mccoy as the backup then Griff.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

Just watched it. I feel sorry for him.

He is going to get killed this year. Was on the ground at least 5 or 6 plays in 2 drives that didn't have many plays.

I predict RGIII will be out injured before Cleveland plays us here in the 4th game of the season. His body just can't stand up to the punishment of pro football. That said, he is an admirable man and I wish him well.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

I dont think RG3 will be injured before 4th game,I think he will be :benched:

Just finished watching 1st half of cowboys game and I'm not happy.I think Kellen Moore did cowboys a huge favor when he broke his ankle and moved Dak Prescott to backup.
Dak looked great,he looked very comfortable and confident and his throws were right on the money with nice touch. Kid looks like he can run if needed but I havent seen him run yet and he hasnt really been pressured.So until we see him with pressure in his face and more playing time he cant really be judged at this time.And this wasnt 4th qtr scrub stats,he started the game.
Very impressed with his resume.Unfortunately I think the cowboys might have found the heir to Romo.
I know I know way too early to tell but I'm impressed

yeah he had a nice throw and in typical RG3 fashion he acted like he was injured getting up.. then throws a INT lol

[quote=MTK;1145576]RG3 still sucks, shocker.[/quote]

I'm rooting for the guy, but yeah he still sucks. His new opportunity isn't going to do him any favors behind that Oline either. He will end up hurt again at some point this year playing in the Black and Blue division.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

Looks like the Saints first round draft pick just broke his leg.
That really sucks for them.
