NFL Week 1 thread -- Where we learn the meaning of Vão pássaros

[MileHigh]

No wind in Atlanta except rare occasions when the roof is open. Does have the third-highest elevation behind Denver and Glendale. (Kansas City is fourth, which I would not have guessed in at least two dozen tries.)

Outside of Denver the strongest possibility is the occasional Mexico City game.

Las Vegas (2,000 feet) has the second-highest elevation after Denver.

Yeah, after posting I looked back through the list (was trying to guess lowest elevations) and saw Qualcomm. Woof. Should have corrected, but figured I should also take a stab at a productive workday.

So which teams are going to be fighting for the top 3-4 QBs in the 2025 draft?

100% no doubt
N.Y. Giants

Probably, but let's give it a month
Tennessee
Las Vegas

Circle back after Week 9
Pittsburgh

Stuck with this contract unless someone saves them
Cleveland

Retirement could force their hand
Los Angeles Rams
N.Y. Jets

Usually there's 6-7 teams each year that desperately need a QB, this seems about right.

Giants deal with Jones a bargain at this point.

Vegas is 100 percent no doubt. At worse Minshew is the backup to the rookie and then his contract runs out

I had them there and I moved them down, but yeah, that team and that market needs a star at quarterback.

 

[Starman]

Stafford still looked good yesterday.

Tyreek Hill detained: Police union defends officers, says Dolphins WR put others in 'great risk of danger'

Maybe the police did something wrong here, but I'm included to assume the worst any time Hill is involved. The best part is when he claims he wasn't disrespectful because his mother didn't raise him that way. Did she raise him to strangle a woman who was pregnant with his child and then punch her in the stomach, as he did while he was in college? Did she teach him to threaten the mother of his child (I forget if it was the same woman) not long after when he was with the Chiefs?

Disrespect is not a crime.

But we've been able to say the Raiders have been on this position for years.

If an incident happened on Sunday and a police union is already backing the officers on Monday morning, I assume those officers forked up badly.
