they can get rid of all the other nonsense or whatever but please, please keep the scramble, that shit was AWESOME.

Not the best timing, but still funny to me:

[texasfan4444]

RG3? Kap? manziel? Tebow? It’s football. I’ll watch

sadly...i will too.

Alex Smith to the Redskins

Alex Smith to the Redskins

Getting the details on this one this morning...the Redskins got fleeced badly IMO.

I do not see it that way. This CB is supposed to be pretty good and they got a 3rd rounder for a QB who was done there while clearing up like 17 million. I say it was solid. Deal makes much less sense for Washington I think.

Edited, I meant the 'Skins got the worst of it.

Bring on Kirk Cousins to the Broncos!

Wooo hoooooo

[wdoupis]

I legit think he is going to be the highest paid player in the league next season. It is amazing how GMs can get sucked in to the same traps over and over.

[shel311]

Looks like he has about 3 months to live.

[Cnasty]

Who ya got as having a better life than Brady?

He’s gotta be top 5ish whole picture type.

He’s amazing.

[Weasel]

Depends on what you mean by "better". I get what youre saying, from the outside it looks like a great life. Very successful, beautiful and successful wife, healthy, etc. But if he isnt happy what good is it? I work with a doc who is genuinely the most content, zen person Ive ever met. To me, thats the good life

[Cnasty]

Going too deep.

Of course the outside looking on purely on face value.

I don’t know the fella and his true meaning in life.

Plays football: my favorite sport
Has a beautiful wife: check
Healthy kids
Secure financially for life
Successful career
Pretty clean rep minus deflating some balls

[Weasel]

Yeah, if 10 year old me was asked to describe a perfect life thats pretty damn close

[dakshdar]

I don't think it is too deep to also go and look at the fact that many people around the country will express that they "hate" him and his team. I'm sure this filters down to his family, which impacts them on a level that we probably can't comprehend. At his level of fame, you probably have difficulty being out and about without constant harassment - both from fans and detractors. You have to constantly be cognizant of what you are doing where because you know that any little thing people could point to can end up on TMZ with the public "outraged".

If you want and welcome the fame and attention and all that come with it - then he's probably up there for famous people that are enviable.

But, I'd rather be some guy that invented or invested in the right something, sold the invention for millions, and can live out my life with my family doing whatever we want whenever we want in relative anonymity.

Like Cuban investing in the internet broadcasting tech and then selling after the Yahoo acquisition ($1 billion).

Or one of the two guys that invented "Red Bull", over $6 billion each.

Dak Killington - To be expected


Weasel Killington - Didn't see that coming

Nailed it.

I was actually pretty close to preemptively throwing a buzzkill disclaimer out there too

[shel311]

Watching this Belichick/Parcells 30 for 30...I had no idea of a lot the stuff that went down, pretty interesting.

In 1997 Parcells was having issues getting out of his Patriots contract, so the Jets hired Belichick as the head coach. 6 days later Parcells' contract stuff got sorted out, so Belichick moved to assistant head coach and Parcells head coach.

If 6 days as head coach wasn't weird enough, in 1999 the Patriots sent a fax to the Jets saying they wanted to interview Belichick for their head coach position. Parcells had bad blood with Kraft so instead of letting Belichick to go the Jets, Parcells didn't tell Belichick about the fax and instead immediately stepped down as head coach of the Jets so Belichick could be head coach and more importantly, not go to the Patriots. The news of Parcells stepping down and Belichick becoming head coach is made public.

If that wasn't interesting enough, 1 day later at what was to be Belichick's introductory press conference he comes out and stuns everyone by resigning as head coach of the Jets.

How did I not ever hear of anything of this craziness?

Trying to sort out this entire paragraph made my brain explode
