Antonio Brown's grievance to wear old helmet denied by arbitrator, says he'll rejoin Raiders

Antonio Brown lost his appeal to wear the old helmet and immediately announced he will play anyway. He had put the word out there that he wouldn't play if they didn't let him wear the helmet he wants. Funny. I seem to remember somebody around here saying that nobody should take threats by Brown seriously. Yup. That was me.

 

Colts need to move on from Andrew Luck don't they?

 

Lol. Why?

 

High ankle injury, according to ESPN and other sites. I think he was exaggerating a bit, but man, Luck does seem snake-bitten or brittle, depending on your point of view.

 

Not saying totally give up on him - just start preparing for a future without him, as in draft his potential replacement.

 

The Cowboys would do Luck for Dak in a heartbeat.

So would the Jets, Dolphins, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers ( maybe), Broncos, Giants, Redskins, Eagles (maybe), Bucs, Bears, Lions, Saints (maybe), Cardinals, 49ers, Vikings... I’m sure I’m missing some.

 

I was going to say that I think you're overestimating his value... but then I looked at his line from 2018 again. His deal is up in 2022 - it's football, so that's easy enough to change, but it would make me leery if I had to do his contract after this one, unless he puts together a couple years of solid health.

 

In his why your team sucks preview for the Vikings, Drew Magary wrote that the Vikings have the 6th highest franchise winning percentage and are the only team in the top-16 for winning percentage that hasn't won a Super Bowl. God that must suck to root for them.

(I don't know if the stats are accurate or there is some explanation for why it isn't quite so bad.)

 

Andrew Luck is Matthew Stafford 2.0.

 

What in the holy hell?

 

The best stats I've seen from this year's WYTS:
The dude whose dad was 60+ and a Lions fan, and he's seen one playoff win in his lifetime.

The Lions have never won the NFC North.
