Around the NFL Free Agency Thread 2013

[That Guy]

wow. that's almost as bad as the barwin signing in philly (i think he's a good player, though he had a rough 2012, but he got a LOT of money).

@RavensInsider: Texans offer to Ed Reed in the three-year, $4 million annual range, per league sources. Reed made $7.2 million last year. Seeking similar

Why? Mcnabb was good but who else that he had at qb was worth any thing? Vick? Foles? Kolb? All of those guys are not good QBs

Yeah, he is listening to Sirius. Polan said he was the best QB developer in the league and I was thinking he was the best faker in the league. He fleeced us with McNabb and fleeced the Cardinals with Kolb. Only good QB he ever developed was McNabb, and McNabb always suffered from poor Mechanics. Kolb sucks and Vick is no better than he was in Atlanta. Infact he may have been made worse.

Nope, don't have Sirius (can't believe people pay money to listen to the radio, maybe I'm just old school but that whole concept never registered with me).

Kolb was (quite) good in Reid's system, remember?

Vick has been beat up worse than Tina Turner, and not to mention they lost their best player in Jason Peters along with several others last season. Vick was in a pretty shitty situation. (Maybe the bigger, nay, smarter, lesson here is that RUNNING QBS TEND TO BREAK DOWN RATHER QUICKLY)

Little early to make a verdict on Foles IMO, though I'd have more confidence in his future if Reid was still developing him.

Seriously, what's with the irrational refusal to give Reid acknowledgment?

Kolb was good for like three games. He also was beat out by Vick. And he cant be credited for Foles, because he is not developed into anything.

Do you pay for cable TV?

Same concept with satellite radio. You pay for more choices, better choices if you ask me. And the best part, little to no commercials.

My last health club played XM/Sirius and there were constant commercials. Seemed like usually for boner pills lol. Am I thinking of the wrong thing?

I have DirecTV, mostly for Sunday Ticket. And on that subject I remember hearing about DirecTV losing it's exclusive contract for Sunday Ticket...anybody know about this? Not that I can complain the $300 or whatever is a pretty good deal IMO.

If that happens at all, it cannot happen until Directv's current contract lapses in 2015.

Darrelle Revis' potential trade from New York Jets to Tampa Bay Buccaneers in fragile state - NFL - Peter King - SI.com


If what Peter Kings reports is accurate, the Jets would be friggin idiots not to pull the trigger on a 2014 1st and 2nd rounder. HUGE idiots.

In fact, the source said, if the Jets are willing to take both picks in 2014, Tampa Bay would likely deal its first- and second-round picks for Revis, even though the Bucs are not sold that he can come back and be 100 percent after 2012 knee surgery.

Three things are apparent in the wake of the NFL meetings in Arizona, where nothing got done between the Jets and Bucs on the Revis front: Tampa Bay is the only serious bidder for Revis. The ball is in the Jets' court on what to do next. And the Bucs aren't going to go much further, if at all, to try to get Revis.

Tampa Bay GM Mark Dominik on Wednesday night and the Jets, through a team spokesman this morning, both declined comment on the fragile state of talks between the two teams.

The Jets, in discussions with Tampa, have apparently been stuck on acquiring the Bucs' first-round pick this year, as well as an additional choice, which would likely come in next year's draft. That would give New York the ninth and 13th picks overall this year.

Depends on the channel. Most of the music channels don't play commercials.

DirecTV still has exclusive rights to the NFL through the end of the 2014 season.

Have no idea then. The health club XM/Sirius music channels always had commercials and plenty of them. From boner bills to mortgages...

And now when anyone can build their own commercial free playlist everywhere...I just don't see how that company makes it?

It's one of those things you think you don't need, until you have it.

Regular radio is so lame in comparison now.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Sirius radio and in specific the NFL radio channel is the best nfl talk anywhere and my favorite sports talk radio.
