Bring back Bucco Bruce!

I like the original, your current one is on some wannabe Raiders shit.
Raiders have a smiling guy , Bucs have a skull on a flag! Its not similar at all other than the crossed swords.
Grace Kelly is incredible in that movie. Well the whole thing is incredible but she lingers in the mind.

I dumped FSC when they lost the EPL deal and stopped broadcasting Argentine football. We do get Fox and FS1, so thanks for the heads up.
Growing up, we always called them football and American football (for handegg), to distinguish them.
I don't care for either team, but I will watch any match featuring prominent Argentine guys. I'm watching for Kun Aguero, Messi, and Mascherano. Toure is awesome.
Too bad there won't be any stellar Adebayor trolling moments.
All the Pats piece says is they will get better by being healthier and that's after winning 12 games last year. Nothing about having a bunch of picks or going nuts in FA

Insider pieces are so optimistic though. Everybody in the top 10 was going to draft Andrew Luck.

All the Raiders insider pieces are like "Which QB is Oakland Going to Draft!?"
When odds are we're not going QB...

Do you get your money's worth from Insider? I don't have it but there seems to be a ton of clickbait articles.

I only read them when I want to feel good about Buffalo's chances for ten minutes or so
They did a great article on if you win the turnover battle you are more likely to win the game. Worth every penny for those advanced stats.

This is mostly off-topic (lol) but Charlotte's hosting a preseason football match between Manchester City and Liverpool at BoA this summer.
It's the first step towards the Panthers being run out of town and North Carolina becoming an exclusively basketball/association football state.

And nothing of value was lost...
I am a fan of Mike Sando's work. That's pretty much the only thing I make a point to read, but it does give you access to their draft stuff as well
I got something from Groupon a couple of years ago that gave me 3 years for like $24 if I took their magazine. I just throw it away

I wish I saw more of nfl-gaf in the reading threads!
Glad to help. Will keep an eye out moving forward, since I'm always looking for interesting football books.
Not sure about how Insider is super positive? Maybe I am reading the wrong stuff. As far as the offseason, the NFL is such that as long as a team maintains its cap, it can have a very quick turnaround if it nails a couple of drafts and fills in the roster w/cost effective FAs. There's always hope b/c a team is only a GM/coach away from being a contender.
That's different than baseball where it takes years to build a farm system up, or basketball where it's all lottery luck

I used to post more in reading threads, but just haven't lately. I'm probably reading a bit less these last few months. I plan on picking up some books again and finishing them up.

The last Lions playoff win was in January 1992, and it's their only playoff win of the SB era

Hope you had a good weekend, guys. I am at last freed from Bravely Default's claws. If you want to cheese the game, AB link me since I maxed out every job.
NBA GAF strikes again? They never learn.
Offseason sucks! Can we at least fast forward to FA?

Antonio Brown says Ben scolded him for being selfish about records after the season.
AB was 3 catches away from breaking Hines Ward's single season catch record (112). He broke the franchise single season yardage record, set by Yancey Thigpen in 1997 (1,398).
I see where Ben's coming from, but I wanted Brown to break it. Haven't seen a Wide receiver that dynamic in a Steelers uniform in a long time.

They actually won their division that year. Erik Kramer beat the Cowboys.

Against a team that doesn't exist anymore....the Oilers.

I know the 50/50 challenge thread. What are the other ones?
Kramer should have beat Favre a couple of years later. Horrible pick 6 in GB's EZ and a late game defensive collapse.

George Teague's 2nd most famous play
Charlotte's not bad. Although I got into an argument over the use of the word 'tranny' last week. I told the guy who used it, it's a slur, and he didn't like that too much. So yeah Charlotte's fine but you have to be okay either swallowing your tongue in certain situations or being honest with people. That guy hasn't talked to me since.
I would have wanted Brown to break it if I was a Steelers fan too. I didn't watch all the Steelers games but can't think of an instance where the best wide receiver on your team wanting to catch more passes would be a bad thing.
Probably referring to the monthly ones.

Yeah this week is a nice change from the snow and utter mess that was last week. Although I did get to go "redneck sledding" which involved tying a rope to the back of a pickup, taking a boogie board, and using it as a sled. Fun but hard for me!

Wow at Marino getting fired. Sharpe makes sense, I hate trying to figure out what it is he is trying to say.
Yeah I still haven't seen anything though I haven't been scanning as close as you probably have. I hope Jimmy Graham doesn't get bent out of shape if (when) the Saints franchise tag him. Already has said he'd file a grievance if he's franchised as a tight end instead of a wide receiver (bah).
Reading is fun, come join us!
Just the monthly reading threads I meant.
Just a new logo or the whole getup? I like the current ones but I guess I'd go for a new logo if it's good.
Cause things have been so good for the Jets since then amirite?

I see where Ben is coming from too, but his bit about his son is hilarious. His son is what, barely 15 months old? He has no fucking clue what Brown or anybody else is doing on a football field.
