A Continuous Journey: 2024 NFL Offseason Thread

It all adds up to MetLife being just a dreadfully dull experience. I've seen football and hockey games there (and nowhere else, to be fair) and I can't think of a less enthralling environment.

 

At least they didn’t fix the ridiculous parking experience.

 

Which is why I think most Bills fans are not overly concerned. Allen's rushing was more productive than Diggs' receiving the last half of the season.

 

He'll be traded somewhere else in a couple seasons.

 

NFL Network Drops Four On-Air Big Names, Including Andrew Siciliano, per Report

Curious what the plan is going forward. Buy a stake in ESPN for the "live stuff" - continue to produce content for a streaming network? Is there that much cost savings going from cable to streaming?

 

That sucks for Andrew, a friend of mine in a past life and as I’ve said here before the person with the most photographic memory I have ever met.

 

I used to love when Andrew was paired with Tony Bruno on Fox Sports Radio 20 years ago.

 

Honestly, some of the stuff that goes on in NFL front offices is more interesting than what happens on the field. Whether we're talking about the Texans family drama, Jerry's paternity issues, Tepper - forget Hard Knox - just allow a doc team to film around the office and sit in on meetings with lawyers, PR teams, private investigators it would be fascinating.

Am I the only one who's noticed this?

KC, in its quest to find a true speed guy in the Tyreek mold, has signed 23-year-old Welsh rugby phenom Louis Rees-Zammit, who might now be one of the fastest guys in the NFL. He was clocked at 24.2 mph during a rugby match. For comparison, the fastest speed clocked during an NFL game last season was 22.23 mph, by D.K. Metcalf. Granted, Rees-Zammit wasn't in pads, but he can run. He ran a 4.43 40 at a pro day for the International Player Pathway program.

Who knows if this guy will turn into anything on the football field -- most people are talking about him making an impact as a kick returner with the new rules -- but it's not like they're getting a track guy out there. You know he's tough and will be able to take -- and deliver -- a hit.

 

Zammit was good enough to tour with the Lions in 2021 and is still fairly young at 23. There is so much more money in football, even if he just become reliable but not a star.

I’ll be interested to watch it play out. I doubt anyone on this board has wasted more time imagining rugby to football/football to rugby code conversions.

 

It’ll be Packers-Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil … Friday, September 6 on Peacock.

 

Can't believe it took 25 years after the Stars won the Stanley Cup, 13 years after the Mavs won the Larry and FIVE MONTHS after the Rangers won the World Series for someone at the Dallas Morning News to finally deign to timidly and humbly inquire as to the certitude of Sir Jerry.
