Boys how are we not all talking about how fuuuuuucked Drew Brees is. My father fought in Vietnam and spent 26 years in the military, most of it in Special Forces. He was gone most time 7 months out of the year doing God knows what in some 3rd world Garden of Eden to serve this country. So believe me, I get it. But what Brees dosen't seem to get is that Black men fought fought in WWII and Vietnam as well. Black man served in those same 3rd world Garden of Edens doing God knows what to serve our country. Black families also had their fathers gone seven months out of the year. And those same Black men were all too often denied the same freedoms and equality that they shed their life's blood to defend. Exactly man. And on top of that, Kaepernick has been saying since day one that this has nothing to do with the flag or the military or whatever. This was all about the police racially profiling. That’s it.

I've never been the biggest Brees fan because he is a hypocrite and gave the NFL veterans who fought for compensation with the new CTE studies of ones that are crippled, can't think straight and have lifelong illnesses from the game a hard time and said they were being greedy AKA he is protecting his own as an active player. But he isn't racist IMO. If he was, he would have left a city he wasn't even born in (New Orleans) out to rot post Hurricane Katrina but he instead took care of the effected with his family and help build the city back up again. Seems that has been long forgotten, people often have a "What have you done for me lately?" sort of mindset.
To me his treatment of the NFL veterans is FAR FAR FAR worse than the whole flag Schick.

I bet money on Indy to win the Super Bowl before the pre-season last year. Andrew Luck retires.
I bet money on New Orleans to win the Super Bowl before the pre-season this year. Drew Brees is a racist.
It's all my fault.

There’s a fine line between being super ignorant and flat out racist. I don’t know that Brees has crossed that line yet, but he’s damn close given the fact he STILL has no idea what this is all about.

He's a businessman and is trying to not bite the hand that feeds him(NBC has him as a future commentator, he gets funded if I recall by tons of pro US sponsorships). May be cowardice and spineless but LeBron James did the same thing leaving Daryl Morey out alone by saying someone should not be speaking for all against China and being absolutely quiet because his brand flourishes in mainland China. Both did spineless feats. He did too much good post Hurricane Katrina in NO to be a racist IMO.

Three offseasons ago the Bills QB room had to go through Josh Allen's past racist tendency which he overcame. Turn the clock to 2020, Bills 5th round pick Jake Fromm supposedly on social media got caught in a private convo(Which is kinda shitty in fairness, EDIT especially if it's 2019) saying only "Elite white people" should be able to buy advanced guns. Man it's like clockwork

Man it's like clockwork I really hope we’re past the point of calling people out from dumb shit they said years ago. I’ve been over that for a long time now. And I’m not just saying that because it affected someone on my team. I couldn’t care less. Dude is likely to never even crack the lineup unless tragedy strikes. I laughed at the text messages of the person asking her to take it down. “So you post that and 50 people see it and now racism is fixed?” :lol:

Fromm gave me the creeps on QB1 with his hunting so this is hardly surprising news. His "apology", which doesn't actually acknowledge that what he said was fucked up, and more about the fact that he doesn't consider himself elite was just pathetic.

Eagles injury luck doesn't seem to be changing - Brandon Brooks tore his Achilles and is out for the season. Big blow for Philly (and Blindy's draft team).

Current injuries don't matter in this though? Unless he retires? I feel bad for him, he had the feel good story of being a mental health advocate and he had vomiting, panic attacks during or prior to games, imagine how great he'd be without any of that? Awful injury. Makes me think Philly gets Peters signed asap even if he is a tackle, just for stability sake.

It's the second time he's torn his Achilles too, and this one is the other side to when it happened in the playoffs two seasons ago. I agree this probably increases the likelihood they'll sign Peters, and everyone's connecting the dots to Larry Warford as well.

CALL A FUCKING UBER Especially when your a KICKER who struggled in 2019 no less and was on the verge of getting cut and skating off of a pro bowl year 2018. This is like the line snapper getting arrested, like you don't have any ground to stand on!

I'm way late on this, but I still don't know how I feel about the Packers drafting Jordan Love. Aaron Rodgers is an asshole, but he's our asshole... I feel like this is another Tom Brady situation waiting to blossom. Aaron's still got 3-5 years of good football left imo and we finally built a capable team around him. Honestly I don't know where I fall... it's a tough decision. Ride out what little greatness he has left or build for the future with a guy from fucking Nevada? It's a good thing the Bears suck at drafting QB's, otherwise we'd be completely fucked. On the other side of my fandom -- Joe Burrow is going to be a breath of fresh air no matter what. No more Andy, no more Marvin -- fucking finally. If we fail, we fail, but at least it's something new and refreshing. People around here are actually excited for the Bungals and we haven't felt that since Burfict and Pacman decided to embarrass the entirety of Southern Ohio on national television. On a separate topic; does anyone watch Strong Opinion Sports on YT? He mostly does QB film breakdowns and after watching a recent video... man, I gotta say... Blindy, I feel bad for you and namely Sam Darnold. What the fuck is up with that O-line? The Jets are literally the only New York team in all of sports that I wish for any good things to happen to. Adam Gase is a complete and utter moron. I still think Darnold was the best QB of that draft and I'd hate to see him go the way of Carson Palmer or, fuck... Andrew Luck at this point. I know they drafted a lineman this year but yikkkeees.

Well Joe Douglas signed and drafted some guys. Drafted Mekhi Becton & Cam Clarke, signed Connor McGovern, signed Greg Van Roten, and Noah Fant. Now whether this works, especially in a covid effected training camp remains to be seen when chemistry is key for an OLine to flourish but I appreciate that Douglas at least made an effort to try and fix the mess that is this OLine.

Samuel has the same type of fracture that Dez Bryant got back in 2015, the Cowboys rushed him back in a couple of months, and he was never the same player again, so this is no joke.
One of those examples of why stacking players in the draft can never really be a bad thing - they can slot Brandon Aiyuk straight in to replace him.

It’s also the same injury that Trent Taylor have when he bit injured during training camp last year and was out entire season due to numerous setbacks. Big opportunity forBrandon Aiyuk and maybe Hurd too. Deebo could return early part of the season or even ready by season opener hopefully they don’t rush him back of course

Jamal Adams has asked for a trade and has apparently given this list of seven teams he would like to be dealt to: Ravens, Cowboys, Texans, Chiefs, Eagles, 49ers and Seahawks. Any chance BoB empties what is left in the draft pick locker and goes for it? They do have a pretty glaring need at safety.

He would make a huge difference but we don't have the draft capital. I could see a trade involving Kenny Stills or Will Fuller because WR is such a glaring need for the Jets and the Texans have options. My money would be on him going elsewhere. I would also say that while the Texans need a another safety, the need is much bigger at CB where they are crying out for a long corner that can play man coverage. The free safety Justin Reid is easily the best player in the secondary.
TL;DR - I'm up for it, but I'd be surprised.

Or well in Fuller's case healthy. Are either one that much better than Perriman because that's who the Jets have as a deep threat. Texans also have to save the money for Watson after already paying Tunsil that mega deal along with whatever they're paying Watt. Jamal Adams is such a good player but he's crazy to think that after 3 years he deserves to be the highest paid safety in the game and in essence be one of the highest paid defensive players in the game. Especially in a pandemic. Watson nor Mahomes has been paid and both are better. Guy is everybit as young as he is, he is too emotional and wears his heart on his sleeve. He was hurt because the Jets TALKED to other teams about him at the deadline.

I'm predicting that Cam Newton is the Pats starting QB next season. Called it! It's astonishing that all the other teams just sat around and allowed this to happen. I know there are injury concerns, but he's 31 years old and a former MVP!! He's getting paid just a little bit more than Chase Daniel for goodness sake. Fuck I'm amped for football now. Hurry up September.

Hurry up September. My whole theory is that there is no way Bill signs him without making sure his arm was back. Cams arm is definitely back. Plus with the way this offense is, Cam is going to thrive playing the football he always plays. Selfish and with his legs. Short passes. Just sucks because I picked and bet on Buffalo to win the division. Sorry RT I did it again!

His problem was he's yet to show he can handle being a backup from an emotional standpoint which is why the Jets went with Joseph Flacco who served his time the last 2 seasons to the younger superior QB talent.
