NFL offseason thread

That's Scott Favre, Brett's brother.

In one of the other photos, you can see Brett's block-headed Dad, Irvin "Magic" Favre, leaning on the edge of the bed.

I'd love to know who was the guy in the Panama hat in the back with his arm on the wall ... or the guy in the yellow hat peeping through the top of the door way.

 

There's a small photo gallery on there. In one shot, they're watching the TV, and on the screen is Kiper's top 5 QBs. Favre is ranked second to .... Dan McGwire.

3-4-5 on the list were Browning Nagle, Todd Marinovich and Scott Zolak.

Not exactly a bumper crop.

 

Yeah, in the story, Favre is quoted as being astonished Dan McGwire was drafted before him.

Just a reminder that some of us have been saying since the beginning that the Vikings were never even considering letting Peterson walk or trading him.

 

Congrats!

 

Redskins, baby!

It's a harbinger of football season and one of the best features of the year -- Drew Magary's daily "Why Your Team Sucks" feature!
Looks like he's going in draft order/reverse order of record. Up today is the Raiders, who are always a highlight.

Ha, I loved that part, too.

 

Gonna be hard to top this one.

God, this is a good one.

Being part of the Skins in any capacity means agreeing to have your shame surgically removed from your body. Imagine if Donald Trump’s Twitter feed were a football team. That’s the Skins.

 

It's like the league pays a consultant to tell them how they can look even worse every week.

Seau had told them that if he ever made it, he wanted his daughter, Sydney, to introduce him. But the Hall of Fame does not plan to let Sydney or anyone else speak on Seau’s behalf. Instead, it will only show a video commemorating his career, while avoiding questions about his suicide in 2012 at age 43 and the subsequent diagnosis of traumatic brain injury that doctors said they believed was brought on by hits to his head.

 

The league is scared that his family will say something about TBI and concussions causing him to kill himself because he realized what was happening to him... like a damn soul there does not know it. Let the family speak. Have you no shred of decency?
