Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Nate Burleson has ascended all the way up to CBS morning news anchor. Not sure if he is remembered more as a Viking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Nate maybe remembered more as a Viking but I think he sees himself as a Lion cause he would often openly cheer for them and say things like "my Lions". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Has achilles injuries always been this common? I swear it seems like they have been happening so much more across all sports the past 5 or so years but that may just be me. If they really have though any theories on why?

Jason_R Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Our old MTS poster Michael Schottey has a really good piece with interviews from executives about the draft. https://www.the33rdteam.com/former-nfl-decision-makers-on-the-final-hours-before-the-nfl-draft/ Key items: Tom Lewand reports that the Lions kicked JaMarcus Russell out of their building on his pre-draft visit for being disinterested and disrespectful. In retrospect, not a surprise. Then Millen picked up the phone and dialed Al Davis to tell him not to pick Russell #1 because he would ruin the franchise. Lewand was stunned and afraid the Raiders would then pick Calvin. Oh Matt Millen…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise, sadly: Quote According to the toxicology report, two separate samples taken from Haskins' body had alcohol levels of .20 and .24, both of which are above the legal limit in Florida of .08. According to the report, Haskins also tested positive for ketamine and norketamine, drugs that are used by medical professionals as anesthetics but that also have been known to be used recreationally. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33971836/dwayne-haskins-was-legally-drunk-death-according-toxicology-report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a dead car on the freeway and he's drunk on his rear. He can't stay with the car because odds are a cop gets there first and he gets nailed on the DUI - the law, the NFL all down on his asz. So he sees his best chance as either getting back to the car with fuel himself or having the cops get there when he's not there, in which case he just stays 'lost' until he's sober. He's probably got just enough wits to realize his legal risk of staying with the car but not enough to function once he takes the decision to leave it.

No Matt Millen is a GENIUS.............He knew that the Raiders knew he was an idiot and would do the opposite of what he said. You just have to look at this from time and distance. It's like the song Ironic by Alanis Morissette. Nothing she sings in the song is actually ironic. What's ironic about rain on a wedding day or dying the day after you win the lottery. No irony there.................and then, just recently it it me, there is no irony in a song called Ironic and there for THAT is Ironic. Alanis is a genius. She played us all.

I've more than once dealt with people who could barely stand-up but were determined to keep trying to do something they were incapable of doing because they had some fear in their head about the need to do it. It's exactly the same thing as when you can't get a drunk's car keys from him - he's determined he "has" to get to somewhere for some reason. Drunkeness in many people creates a paradoxical mix of high motivation and low capacity - probably why it also leads to so much senseless violence. His impairment was not so high he that he crashed his car or was unable to master his cell phone to make calls.

Deleterious Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Deshaun Watson should never take another snap in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 At the time of his contract it was said to be fully guaranteed by the Browns. My hope is that there were atleast some provisions about it being guaranteed if he was found guilty or if other off the field stuff came out. While I hate the Browns and normally wouldn't mind them being forced to pay 230 million to somebody that can't help them win I hate what Watson has been accused of even more and even if only a fraction of it is true I don't want to see a scumbag like that walk away with 230 million dollars.

Motown Bombers Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 It's my understanding they made the 1st year a bonus in case he gets suspended? I think if he never played again he would just receive the signing bonus but the Browns would still take the cap hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
