"i know the phillies are bad, but jeez" - Your ILNFL 2014 Preseason Thread

Sanchez wont go there because the Rams would have to give up a 2 or 3 to get him and he'd only be there for one year. At least that's what i read this am. I'd do the deal myself, i think they are in position to strike right now.

shaun hill is just as good as any other option out there. wait for someone to get cut to find a backup. save the draft picks for 2015 when you are going to be drafting a qb anyhow.

yeah as much as i'd love to extort them for ryan mallett, hill can probably still be a decent qb

should've gone with "please allow me to introduce myself"

my name is SHAAAAAAUB

sha to the U-B

I used to slang INTs by the oz

lol

logan mankins traded to tampa bay

whoa

draft pick and "tim wright"

reviews of tim wright are basically all over the place. looks like cost savings/selling high/getting an interesting player at a position of need.

tim wright totally does deserve quotes around his name for now tho.

i am sure bb knows what he is doing and i am no kind of expert but having no starting guards seems detrimental

in more important news, i am hearing that sportscenter ran an investigative feature into whether michael sam has been showering with the rest of the team

4th round pick for mankins...

@mikefreemanNFL
Letter from Goodell to owners is lengthy and I'm going through now. Impressive, sweeping changes re domestic violence.

This is pretty cool, if overdue.

Here's the letter

interesting and good. makes me wonder what the reasoning was on the ray rice case and what info/footage was not released to the public.

Roger Goodell still showed he was pretty f-ing clueless in his original response as any of these idiots can look smart if you give their lawyers and PR people two months to write up a response. You get paid that kind of money, you shouldn't be blowing these kind of situations, but hey the league making shite tons of money, so it's water under the bridge at this point.

I've really had to turn down my radar on following football as the shit has gotten so deep with the whole thing. I can still get lost in it watching a game, but the NFL seems to be hellbent on killing the golden goose (and the game itself is probably killing a good portion of the players anyway).

I think a decent ILE thread could be started on what is the most corrupt and inept sporting league management in the world. I guess the good thing about the NFL's BS is it's still stuck mostly just to America's heel unlike the Olympics, F1 or UEFA.

aw

Derek Carr just won the Raiders starting QB job in almost incredibly impressive fashion.

11/13 for 143 and 3TDs in 17 minutes vs. mostly 1st team Seattle D

wow

meh it's easy to look great when you have weapons like jamize olawale and mychal rivera to throw the ball to

lol

omg

surely that's not the first time that's happened

every time I see a professional football player with long-ass dreads I think "RIP your neck"

my understanding is that's legal?

It is.

right, right, the FIRST ricky rule:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/16/deangelo-williams-is-tired-of-getting-tackled-by-his-dreadlocks/

I can't even imagine how much it must hurt

cut your hair, and if you want to keep em, tape the dreads to the bottom of your helmet :D

Hard to have much sympathy. I always found shorter hair worked better with football. I shaved my head my entire career.

I know when they were doing the draft breakdowns, some of the clips of Carr at Fresno State were pretty impressive, he's got some power in that arm.

Michael Sam cut.

Champ Bailey got cut by the Saints. Quite a few big corners moved to safety as their career went on but I'm not sure Bailey is near the hitter like Charles Woodson or especially Rod Woodson.

Consummate tackler in open field, amazing even Imo, but not a hitter.

You play safety you got to be able to knock running backs backwards.
