I still wear my Portis jersey.

If I ever buy another it will be Taylor, Monk or Green.


Son has a Kerrigan and daughter has an Alex Smith...they're both "collector's items" starting this year. Not a big deal, kids grow anyways.

Son has a McLaurin and a Chase shirt, both Summo designs. That's the way to go for current player stuff.

Definitely but that's over 1/4 of a second higher than the qualifying time. Knocking that off your time for an athlete already in peak physical shape is difficult. I can't help wondering if he did it with an eye on actually qualifying, or just a publicity stunt. Strikes me as reminiscent of TO...

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

He said he wanted to pursue the Olympics and I think he did, but being fast and training as a sprinter are two different worlds, as he just learned.

The actual sprinters likely got really motivated to not get beat by a football player thinking he could just show up and beat them.

Hopefully he's a humble guy.

If he wants to make Olympic trials he has a long ways to go for sure. He was last in his heat so very far from qualifying for the finals and the Golden Games don't really draw top talent not a single runner was ranked in the top 20 in world in the 100 m field. Whatever though it is good for T&F headed into a bizarre Olympics.

Considering how much bigger Metcalf is than those sprinters he was really impressive.

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

Agreed. 10.36 is no joke. I'd like to see him indoors run the 60m .

Props to Tebow for not giving up, but honestly if he actually makes it to week 1 I'll be surprised.

Not a surprise really , a College Coach giving a former College star a job.

Props for wasting the prime years of his career insisting he was a QB even when noone would pay him to play there and ignoring the opportunity to switch to TE until it is way too late?

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

He has basically no competition at TE in Jax.

Here are the other TEs on their roster:

James O'Shaughnessy
Chris Manhertz
Ben Ellefson
Tyler Davis
Luke Farrell

And they all have several years of actual experience playing the position. He's got a tough road ahead.
