Also, the NFL has been involved in far more ethically egregious and boycott-worthy #### than the tariffs. The CTE scandal, their attitudes towards violence against women, everything Dan Snyder touched, etc.

If you're watching essentially any sports organization in the world (NFL, NCAA,FIFA, PL, F1, UFC, etc.), you're gonna have to admit that you're supporting scumbags.

Who's being self-serving here? Hypocritices
I don't think the CFL is anyone's competitor. Curling perhaps?

😂 Hilarious. The naked self serving (actual) rationalizing is comical and good for a laugh

Noted. Thank you for your contributions and your service, we'll think of you as we don our poppies this year.

The Titans have released Harold Landry III and it feels like a lot of bigger names being released in cap moves when the cap is skyrocketing. Maybe that means they're locked in on the Penn state DE with their pick

Or maybe it means Harold Landry requested his release so he can go play in Saskatchewan to stick it to Americans. Makes you wonder...

And the WFT released star DT Allen. I know this happens every few years where a lot of these big name guys hit the market at once and only one or two have any tread left on the tires. The youthful changing of the guard as it were

Ugh...both the villainizing people for watching the NFL, and the talk of CFL being some trash league not worth watching is ####ing me off. What an obnoxious conversation.

Sometimes I feel like the only dual NFL/CFL fan alive.

I would say this is better than signing Darnold, but is it? Higher floor with Geno, but lower ceiling too. You knew when they hired Carroll they weren't gonna do a full rebuild, but to go straight into perpetual mediocrity mode is certainly a choice.

Ugh, further report is Seattle is going to sign Darnold.

I don't know what the QB plan was; Geno has a year or two left of decent quality and Seattle's offense is moving away from passing, but the answer isn't Sam Darnold.

Maybe a move up in the draft?

What - and I really can't stress this enough - the ####?

Raiders gonna Raider. The people at the top continue to change but the terrible decision making continues. I hate this move so much.

Smith gave full credit to PC for salvaging him from the QB scrap heap and believing in him and the positivity that OC brought. Smith will be fine for a year or two, he just can't be allowed to go too far off script.
Makes the Metcalf thing make some more sense too.

Why don't you want the Hawks to go after Darnold?

Is it one good season and the price they'll have to pay?

Seems like a better option than Geno.
