It was SO GOOD.

Oh man, that looks incredible!

God dammit.

Numbers coming in on Matt Ryan's contract

Sounds reasonable. Wonder what the cap hit for this year is and how much flexibility it gives us to go get some depth.

 

[Hitokage]

I'm actually more concerned about Miller popping up on that list. We have other good WRs, but TE is thin enough as it is!

 

[Buckethead]

As expected, #Falcons and QB Matt Ryan are finalizing 5-year contract extension that will exceed $100 million when done

WTF are you doing Andy?

Cowardly racking up that paper

I don't know about incredible, but I'm on Keto at the moment so it tasted amazing!

5 years over 100 million is reasonable!?

 

[storybook77]

5 years over 100 million is reasonable!?

After Romo got a 6 year, $108 million extension....yes.

Add Flacco's and Rodger's deal to the mix and there isn't anyway Ryan wasn't going to get paid.

Also, Fatford getting a $18 mil per extension after going 4-12 didn't help matters either.

Sweet jesus Romo got fat. I'm not talking husky, and well built like Stafford, I'm talking Jamarcus and Freeman fat.

 

[jbug617]

Pete is saying Harvin might need surgery.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Matt Ice getting paid.. man Flacco, Romo and Ryan getting 100 million dollar contracts JUST WOW.

 

[Fantomex]

It was SO GOOD.

dang bro, that's how i be liking my eggs!

 

[BigAT]

Adam Schefter: "WR Percy Harvin's hip injury is problematic. He is scheduled to get a second opinion and there is concern about the injury."

Hmmm...

That guy that's always injured is injured?!

I already feel like digging up my debates with everyone that thought Seattle didn't give up way too much for Harvin.

 

[Futurevoid]

"Shaving just wastes time I could be spending eating baby-back ribs."

:jnc

This has to become a new Freeman like meme. He apparently got that extension and went to the nearest Texas BBQ rib joint. Damn.

On the Harvin front:

Jason Cole @JasonPhilCole 7m

Ouch RT @mortreport: Pete Carroll concedes Harvin may need surgery as they seek second opinion

 

[cajunator]

Matt Ice getting paid.. man Flacco, Romo and Ryan getting 100 million dollar contracts JUST WOW.

To be fair, when you have a signal caller that can consistently make you competitive, you pretty much have to keep him. that means signing on the dotted line for many zeroes.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Luke Willson future!

 

[Hitokage]

Ah, ok, seems Zach Miller is still nursing a foot injury from before, not something new.

:jnc

The reason Freeman works is the goofy look he has and the clear history of Taco Bell binging.

Meh, other terrible contracts don't make another terrible contract look more reasonable.

We've got the goofy look covered. I think we can just make up the rest.

I'm ok with Atlanta being stuck with Cowardly for another 5 years.

 

[storybook77]

I'm ok with Atlanta being stuck with Cowardly for another 5 years.

I'm fine with being stuck with the winningest QB in franchise history too.

Maybe I shouldn't and just wish my team could be irrelevant again.

 

[Hitokage]

All these contracts with teams blowing up their cap space just makes it harder for others to stay sane.

 

[chuckddd]

Glassy Glassvin.

 

[Talon]

I'm ok with Atlanta being stuck with Cowardly for another 5 years.

He's a franchise QB, like it or not. We went from a team that had never gotten back-to-back winning season to five consecutive winning seasons under his watch. He does the right things. He absorbs any criticisms at the team to himself. He never criticizes anyone. He's improved every season.

After years of Jeff George, Christopher Chandelier, Doug Johnson/Kurt Kittner and Ron Mexico, he's our first franchise QB since Bartkowski, and nobody outside of the NFC South (and old West fans) know who the fuck that guy is.

I'll take 5 more years of that. Sounds it tops out at $103 million with incentives.

Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones wanted a corporate sponsor with cache before he agreed to alter the name of Cowboys Stadium

He’s found it in AT&T. And Jerry World is now officially known as AT&T Stadium.

The club and AT&T have reached a multi-million dollar naming-rights agreement. This culminates the long dance between the Cowboys and AT&T over how to meld their brands. The name change, effective immediately, will be reflected in substantial signage updates throughout the upcoming football season, prominently featuring AT&T, both inside and outside of the stadium.

Jones declined to discuss the terms of the deal (years and dollars) at the press conference. He acknowledged the deal "is not the most in dollars that there has been for naming rights."

ESPN's Darren Rovell reports the deal is worth an average of $17-19 million per year.

Arlington mayor Robert Cluck says the city will get 5 percent of revenue from the naming-rights deal to help pay off the city's debt.

Jones added that Legends Drive near the stadium will become AT&T Blvd. or AT&T Drive. Jones also said he wants “this building to be more familiar than the White House.”

Chris Chandler is the best QB in Falcons history.

 

[xnipx]

I'm glad the rest of Atlanta fans don't act like you guys or I would say you all didn't deserve Mike Vick.

 

[Talon]

Chris Chandler is the best QB in Falcons history.

The best at getting injured in hilarious ways, maybe.

There's that whole Super Bowl thing, too.

 

[Spades]

Romo is turning into Desperate Dan.

 

[Talon]

There's that whole Super Bowl thing, too.

We road the cocaine (and I guess tranvestite blowjob?) train to that Super Bowl appearance. That was the weirdest game in the world for me to watch. Even in 5th grade, I knew we were going to get completely pummeled by GOAT Elway.

Sorry, Minnesota.

 

[Fantomex]

Do you guys remember the video of Danny Wuerfell getting sacked and his helmet was on backwards? I think hes made that clip disappear from the face of the earth, I can't find it anymore. It was awesome.

Don't forget about his fine suburban speaking abilities.

 

[cashman]

I still don't understand the little brother complex texans fans have when it comes to the Cowboys.

I'm 90% sure he's still a virgin.

I understand it, but I hate naming rights on stadiums. Sun Life will always be Joe Robbie Stadium to me. Pepsi Arena (or whatever it's called now), in Albany, will always be The Knickerbocker to me. Usually, the original names had some significance to the city and franchise. Throwing a corporate sponsor on there is just so lame. PEACE.

 

[squicken]

A Chandelier and Harvin conversation on the same page. How apropos

 

[Talon]

If I had infinite bucks, I would buy the naming rights to Tampa Bay and demand they name it Cuntville Stadium.

Match made in Seattle.

Matty Ice earned that contract for his playoff successes.

 

[squicken]

I was pretty impressed with Ryan in the playoffs last year. But it can't go unnoticed that on his "clutch" montage the NFLN just aired is a in-a-dome running start 55 yard jump ball to Roddy White vs a dreadful Panthers team. He is a franchise QB, but the numbers are getting to the point where they may have to let White walk prematurely

I sort of expect this. Roddy has two years left on his deal. He'll be 33, but he will muster at least $9 if not demand a 4 year $10+ million/year deal from somebody. He's crafty and strong enough to where he'll be effective until 35 or so.

Tony's $7 million for next year is just for cap purposes. I don't imagine us holding onto SJax for more than two seasons.

His most impressive throw to me is still that sideline bullet to Michael Jenkins his rookie season with Tommie Harris' immediate pressure nailing him in the head. Granted, there's no reason for that DB to have stepped up to the flat, but it was the only damn place that ball could be. That first TD to Julio in the NFCCG was a beauty too. There was only one place that ball could be.
