    There are things Rodgers can physically do that Brady just can't. Damn near scrape the ceiling of a dome on a Hail Mary for one thing.

    I don't like Rodgers as a human being. He seems like a flake. But national media has become so absorbed with narratives and PR and whatever other horseshit celebrity stuff there is out there that Brady is deified. Is he accurate? Sure. Good arm? Yes. All-timer? Mmm-hmm. Better than Rodgers? At what?

    Throwing on the run? No, no one is.

    Scrambling? Of course not.

    Accuracy? Nope, Rodgers has the career lead there.

    Yards per attempt? Nope, Rodgers has the lead there.

    Interception rate? Nope, Rodgers is better.

    TD rate? Nope, Rodgers is better.

    Sack rate? Yes. Brady is better there. I think Rodgers runs himself into some sacks, but he's also had some shit lines.

    Rodgers' chief knock is that he plays for Mike McCarthy, and Brady plays for Bill Belichick.

    Oh, I think Rodgers is better, too. But I'm not going to fight somebody for a second that says Brady.

    Seeing these NFL owners in action reinforces to me that that many of these owners are dumb. Like the way Cleavon Little says it in Blazing Saddles.

    Creepy weirdo Richardson writes all kinds of mash notes to female employees, then pays them off through NDAs.

    Then dummy Bob McNair openly talks about Richardson discussing what he did - thus breaking the NDA, and emboldening at least one woman to recall what the creepy weirdo Richardson did.
    DEAR BOB MCNAIR,
    Thank you. Your comments on March 25, which affirmed you still have no clue or compassion in regard to sexual harassment and racism, also let me know that Jerry Richardson broke the non-disclosure agreement he had signed with me. According to you, Richardson shared his side of the story with owners. You said, “He was very candid in what he said and what he did.’’ Because Jerry Richardson spoke on the subject, I can write these letters and finally speak my truth.
    According to you, “Some of the comments he might have made could have been made jokingly and misunderstood…. I’m sure he didn’t mean to offend anybody.’’ Jerry Richardson calling my friend, who is a well-liked and respected scout, a “n-----” cannot be taken out of context or misunderstood, and it could never be construed as a joke. For you to say that offends me; I can’t even imagine the heartache he’s had to endure. But, that’s his truth to tell. As for me, I did not misunderstand any of Jerry Richardson’s comments to me. They were clear. He wrote down many of them in notes so there wouldn’t be any misunderstanding. And, regardless of what his intentions were—you’ll have to ask him that question—he sexually harassed and assaulted me. That is my truth.


    The handwritten notes read as follows:

    A. "The week before we play New England please do the following:
    ① manicure
    ② pedicure
    ③ facial
    ④ hair stuff
    ⑤ wear lip gloss
    I want all of us to be at our best that week-end"


    B. "④ If I could...I'd pamper you more. Rub your feet. Shave your legs. Put lotion on your body - etc, etc"

    C. "④ you did not answer my questions – – Do you think of me as:
    ① your grandfather
    ② your second father
    ③ your second husband
    ④ your friend
    ⑤ your boyfriend
    ⑥ or something else –


    I regret I have never been able to give you pleasure – "]

    I didn't know how the Browns were going to screw this up, but it appears they've figured it out.

    Some teams apparently think Josh Rosen isn’t a good fit as an NFL QB. They are asking him to consider other positions. The Raiders love Rosen’s intelligence and think he’d make a great addition to the legal staff. Jerry Jones thinks with the right coaching Rosen would be a perfect fit on the team’s medical staff. All the teams hope he signs with an agent rather than representing himself.

    I don't know how any of you can root for your team if they pick ((Josh Rosen))!

    As a Steelers fan, I really hope the Browns don't do something out of character like draft Barkley No. 1 and then grab their QB at 4. If they leave this draft with Rosen and Chubb, they will have lived down to their reputation.

    Isn't the new Browns GM widely considered to be competent?
