Well in spite of those reports...

Dallas police said Johnny Manziel will not be charged. Investigation now closed.

Now that the Manziel case is closed we'll forget all about it and pretend it never happened like when Dez dragged that woman around the parking lot by her hair, right?

Does anyone remember Brandon Marshall getting arrested 5 different times including situations involving him allegedly beating up his fiance, twice?

No one actually really cares about this stuff unless theres photographs and she wouldn't let them take photographs of whatever happened. Hardy did what he did and nobody cared until the world saw the pictures.

Stafford made Megatron wait until you see what he does with Ebron.

The "Stafford relies on Megatron" argument is ridiculous and anyone who's watched the Lions play knows that Stafford distributes the ball when he has players who can actually catch, which he did not have when Nate Burleson went down with injury and Titus Young was kicked off from 2012-2014.

Golden Tate has put up career numbers with Stafford and made the Pro Bowl which he did not do under Russell Wilson

Theo Riddick led all running backs with receptions this year.

Again, we all troll here and there, but the "Stafford chucks it up to Megatron" argument is not true if you've watched this team since 2011 or even just check the stats.

No damnit!! :'(((( RIP

Wide zone was basically Dallas' bread and butter play in 2014. Need to get the struggling offense going, call outside zone. Need to kill the clock, call the outside zone. 1st and 10, outside zone.

Witten said as much,



I don't know if he doesn't fit a zone running scheme. Cowboys ran inside zone and outside zone (as well as counters/pin and pull as a compliment zone runs)

Yeah fair enough I stand corrected. Still, your line is better than ours and we were running those out of the shotgun. But we also tend to run stretch and sweep plays a lot, which he isn't suited for. We can do a lot by replacing our guards with some big guys, but Jason Kelce is a little too small to push downfield. He's great on sweep plays since he can pull out and get to the second level so quickly, but he's an example of why we might not be built for murray

It's weird because I instinctively think that Cutler is better than any of those guys. Still like someone else said, Cutler has had so much to work with and still couldn't win games.

Also surprised that Jeff George still wasn't the benchmark for Cutler's career

Marco Rubio looks like a character from Boy Meets World in his adverts. Minkus little cunt.

Still looks more presidential than Trump or Cruz.

Of course Romney looked like a guy that is cast to play the part of the President in movies and that didn't help him enough.

While Dallas PD has closed its investigation into Johnny Manziel's alleged assault, Fort Worth PD has not. Its investigation continues.
 

Are you ready for XCOM?

Man, Melissa Stark looks so good tonight with that dress and hair.

Watt defending Cam from all the criticisms of the celebrations. What a cool guy. All while throwing pizza dough with Montana, Archie Manning, and Papa John.

Something is going on with Megatron. After the ESPN reports came out wouldn't he have somehow announced his retirement by now? It's weird and I'm starting to think he wants to come back but it's a possibility the issue may be contractural.

At the time, it all made sense. But it’s not that time any more. It’s a month later. Other players, like the Raiders’ Justin Tuck, have announced their retirement. Quinn meanwhile has started the process of turning over the Lions front office in personnel, scouting and training. Head coach Jim Caldwell has added assistant coaches to his staff. President Rod Wood has made some changes in the business operations of the team.

And not a peep from Johnson? More importantly, as of last week, Quinn still hadn’t made contact with Johnson or his agent Bus Cook? This doesn’t make much sense to me.

Quinn has lined up several colleagues already from his days in New England. While he hasn’t yet started to construct his first team in Detroit, we’re all assuming that he’ll try to match the very successful blueprint that Bill Belichick has used for years. Part of that blueprint is that other than Tom Brady, the Pats have never broken the bank for any player. More than that, they’ve had a knack for letting a player go right when he’s starting to trend down. As unpopular as it was in New England at the time, Belichick was right to jettison guys like Lawyer Milloy, Richard Seymour and Vince Wolfork. Does Johnson match those players in terms of his place in his career. I don’t think so. Not yet. Then again, Quinn has a much better grasp of that than I do.

Like the article states if Bob Quinn wants to continue the Patriots way and weigh value vs. production he needs to get that shit out of here when it comes to Megatron for one more season.

Pay the man his $24 Million or whatever he's owed.

One of the podcast I listen to said the day after the retirement story came out that he wanted out of Detroit.

It's crazy seeing Pullman and Goldblum together.

Now with Pullman's description of the synopsis, I'm kind of excited to watch Resurgence now in late June.
 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...da2f04-cb05-11e5-a7b2-5a2f824b02c9_story.html

Five days before a documentary alleged that quarterback Peyton Manning and other star athletes had used performance-enhancing drugs, two men hired by Manning’s lawyers visited the parents of the documentary’s key witness. Both men wore black overcoats and jeans and, according to a 911 call from the house that evening, one initially said he was a law enforcement officer but didn’t have a badge.

Wow. Just read a an ex NBA player turned down a 10% stake in Nike back in the day for 100K because his agent told him to. He'd be worth over 8.6 billion today. Granted he was probably rich then.
