The apple never falls far from the Andy Reid tree.

*looks at Eagles' current HC*

Aw sonofa....

[Senator Clay Davis]

I don't even think Andy wouldn't run at all for 30 straight plays. He might do a double reverse or some stupid running play, but he'd get a few runs in.

Lol this ####ing guy

meanwhile, Tyreek Hill gets a 3 year, 54m extension. Good for him, I guess ...

Chicago has Oaklands 2nd round pick though, and the difference between the two likely wont be too far apart

Haha, ouch.

The Bears screamed juggernaut in their loss everywhere except at quarterback, where Mitchell Trubisky seems to have taken Blake Bortles’s place as the league’s premiere misdrafted top-three QB who will hold back an otherwise Super Bowl contender from reaching its potential.

[rubecube]

Really odd to see right-wingers defending Drew Brees so vehemently. I thought they wanted players to stick to sports and not use their platforms to spread their personal beliefs.

AB confirmed to play Monday night now. Gruden looks weak for capitulating to AB, Mayock confirms he’s a puppet, and AB just keeps trucking along. 9 more years of this tire fire? Love it.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Gotta be at least 50/50 odds AB kills one/both of Gruden or Mayock. Perfect fit for Vegas though, what an entertaining #### show the next decade is gonna be.

Much more difficult schedule this year and the rest of the division will be better. I'm willing to bet that Bears pick is in the teens so yes far apart.

Confirmed where?

Edit. I see it's now official on ESPN;

I would have preferred they suspend him for a game but Gruden wants to win and selfishly I want them to beat down the Broncos as well. It's one of those things where fans will forget if he performs on the field but I feel it's only going to be a matter of time for him until there's another incident as there's something not right in his head and he needs help.

Top story on Espn, obscure source.

At one point it was rumored to be a lot more than that. 35.5 guaranted, but with some terms around personal conduct. He's been able to outrun the law thus far....will he be able to do so for another 4 years?

He's a small guy who's been able to stay somewhat healthy so far, so it's a matter of him maintaining that health. Once the speed goes, he could become pretty ordinary.

Can't argue with his on field production though. He's a huge reason why the Chiefs have won their Division 3 straight years.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Can't wait for someone else to call Mayock a cracker and for that guy to be immediately cut. That'll show AB!

Fortunately there's only one Antonio Brown.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yes because I'm sure everyone else seeing AB getting away with doing whatever he wants is not going to encourage other guys to push the limits. The funny thing is cutting him is easily the smartest thing because it's highly unlikely the Raiders will contend in the next three years, while it's highly like AB will destroy their team in that time.

Well if they aren't going to contend in the next three years as you say what's there to destroy? I really don't think other players in the locker room are going to call the GM a cracker because Brown did. The reality is that 99% of players fall in line and it's just a small handful that create the drama. The thing is that if the Raiders cut him and the Pats picked him up you would mock the Raiders regardless so they are better off keeping him for the remainder of the season (if he makes it that long) and they have two 1st round picks if they want to start over at WR in the offseason. All Brown has accomplished is making it extremely easy for the Raiders to get out of the contract without paying guaranteed money which is fine by me.

As someone who lived through the TO Eagles years, these things very rarely work out positively for the team.

Well TO did help them get to a Super Bowl. The Raiders aren't a SB contender that AB is going to derail. I'm not under any illusion that Brown is going to take them over the top as the team is at least one more season away from taking the next step but watching your team lose week to week sucks and if Brown is good enough to add a couple of wins most fans will take that.

Yeah but TO was happy during 2004. He went super pissy in 2005 and destroyed the Eagles' season.
