NFL offseason thread

Some of that is just the amateur crap we all learn from many years of watching football and hearing about players recovering from injury. Some of it is from reporting on injuries. Most of it is from my own history with surgical procedures on my foot. I've been through three of them. Through what I've learned from two surgeons and my own research during all that, I know a bit about foot issues. The last of my surgeries was somewhat similar to what I read about what they are doing to Wentz. Of course, he is in a hell of a lot better shape than I am, but I wasn't asking my foot to do nearly as much as he will be asking of his. If I understand correctly, the positive for Wentz is they are just removing something. That should mean he can put weight on it a lot more quickly than if they had to repair any part of the foot. The bad news is that foot problems can take time simply because they disrupt everything else in the lower body.

 

The bolded part works for me.

 

The Panthers cut rookie safety J.T. Ibe after he put a helmet-to-helmet hit on receiver Keith Kirkwood in practice. Kirkwood had to be put on a backboard and carted off, but did have feeling in his arms and legs.

Accurate.

 

Yeah. I'm a degenerate who bets on Iceland soccer but I'm going nowhere near the NFL preseason. Wake me up when the real games start.

 

Thought that was Joe Don Looney and Jints would actually be worth watching.

 

When this many executives suddenly leave a company it usually means the guys in the blue windbreakers start showing up and leaving with a bunch of cardboard boxes or the locks get changed on the buildings.

Joe Buck’s hair is the color of the HOF jacket. It’s very strange.

 

The mediocrity that made it into the Hall this year is a a conundrum of confounding proportions. Put Cosell in. Musberger too.

 

Wow Josh Allen gets $150M guaranteed! I don't disagree he's fantastic (I can only hope Lance gets to Allen '20 level) and want the athletes to get all they can, just surprised that they gave that much to him.
