The fact that he even tries to put himself in the same category, just makes me laugh and move on quickly.

It's genius on his part tbh. He is starting young and getting his name out there. If he goes on to have a career similar it will be, I've told you all along I was just as good better. If he fails it was I was motivating myself to be like him.


It's edison vs telsa, one had great press and one was a genius

Self promotion is nothing new in the NFL and as they say, empty vessels make the most noise.

He's hardly an empty vessel. Last year Sherman was hugely impressive on probably the best secondary in the NFL. He's been in the league for two seasons and has 12 interceptions a lot of tackles a couple of return TDs

My quote referred to his blabber mouth and not his on field ability.

Has he got talent? Absolutely yes.

Is he on the level with Revis that he thinks he is? Not even close.

Would I put him in the Patriots secondary in the morning? Fúck yeah!!!

Revis still has to come back from an ACL tear. They're very different types of CBs, Sherman is the better playmaker, but assuming he comes back from his ACL tear and plays to the same standard, I'd take Revis any day, but Sherman had an amazing year last year.

Dead spin with a recorded conversation between Buddy Nix and Mark Dominik here, hard to believe they got caught out so bad

This is too good to confine to the NCAA thread. What if WWE's Jim Ross was a football commentator?

Don't think the Fins would be interested. Traded away a number 1 receiver in Marshall, who still had 3 years left on his contract, for two third rounders last year because of his antics, so I don't see them going after another headache in Harvin.

Also Harvin, has hinted that he intends on holding out if he does not get a new contract. So not only will a team have to part ways with a draft pick for an injury prone player, but they will also need room for cap space, as he will want to get paid.

I'm adamant he is not going for more than a 4th because of his contract situation.

A 1st, 7th and future 3rd. Don't know how you got it into your head that he would go for a 4th max.

It's testament to how good he is that most Vikes fans are disappointed by that outcome

I was wrong, but I still stand by that he is not worth what the Seahawks gave up considering they had to give up all those picks aswell as paying him $11m per year, for a guy with character concerns and who would have been out of contract after this season. Only reason I can see why they gave that much up is because they feel he is the missing piece to a Superbowl. The fourth round estimate was based on his contract, character concerns and previous deals on players in similar situations. If the Hawk's decided he was that much, then so be it.

If it works out, then fair play, they were right to do it. But if it doesn't and they are saddled with his big contract, then all those picks they gave up hardly seem worth it.

Time will tell.

Not sure if this has been posted before. Flacco being seriously down to earth at the airport.

Ray Lewis officially joining the ESPN monday night crew.

Hopefully he's in the studio so I don't have to listen to him during games.

With Gruden telling us how amazing every player on the field is and Lewis telling us that is because of the great work of God I think an early night on Monday will be very welcome.

Gruden is one of the main reasons i dont watch MNF, I only watched Pats games on MNF.

If Lewis is going to be on MNF also, i may have to skip the Pats' games too :mad:

Last year according to wiki;

On May 29, 2012, Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin announced that the Dolphins would participate in the 2012 season of Hard Knocks.

Could well have another couple of months to wait before we hear anything. Love the show, cant wait for its return, regardless of who it is, who would you like to see? Personally I'd love to see the eagles and how Chip Kelly settles in.

Local comms on gamepass is a blessing.

A much better effort.

To be fair, there has to be some question marks over someone so old becoming a team's franchise player. Will he make it through a full season uninjured?

People complaining about a guy in his 70s being drafted to be the face of a franchise...

It's been a year, guys. Leave Brandon Weeden alone.
