2014 NFL off-season thread

As always Mark, the question is "What else is on?" People love live TV. They watched Carrie Underwood in "The Sound of Music," after all. Compared to that, Bills-Jaguars is epic entertainment.

 

I'm guessing the lowered cost is as a result of which pick they get of games. I think they get seventh choice of games each week. I suspect that will change next year when they try to drive up the price.

 

Terrell Owens is a free agent again after being put on waivers by his wife of two weeks. She says he only married her for the money.

There's a guy who's going to have to bum airfare off someone to make it to his own Hall of Fame induction.

 

Rahm Emanuel, a crook and a liar, wants the draft held in Chicago.

Since the offseason brings free agency and salary cap talk, here's a good resource site: www.overthecap.com.

Gives you plenty of info about estimated cap space teams have, who will be free agents, who may be salary cap casualties, and other such info.

A specific post I'll drag over: OTC looks at the free agent running backs:

There are a few guys who everyone expects to be cut loose for cap reasons, Matt Schaub is at the top of most of those lists... I think at some point Mark Sanchez will be let go as well.

 

Joe Banner and Michael Lombardi leaving the Browns... What a trainwreck...

 

WAIT?? WHAT????

 

Holy shit. I didn't think any franchise could be run worse than the Clippers or Knicks, but I might have to realign that thinking.

No worse franchise.

 

Why now, brown cow? After you hire the coach? If you're going to do this (and I have no clue what the logic is for only giving them a year, but IF you're going to...), I have no clue why you don't do it right at the end of the season like you did with Chud. Why now?
