Dunbars comments aged really well too.

Shortly before the warrant for his arrest was issued Thursday, he held a 15-minute introductory teleconference call and told Seattle reporters: "You just want to feel wanted at the end of the day. ... I just hope to repay them with the way I carry myself as a person."
well ...

well I'm not saying it didn't happen ... Tomlin might very well be a guy who does that stuff. But I will say that Harrison will say about everything these days to make the Steelers look bad. This is a guy that has proudly admitted to faking injuries, sleeping during meetings and so on in order to be released and who recently said he wouldn't have retired if the Pats had beaten the Eagles, just so he could help get them a 7th SB to knock the Steelers off the perch. He's also lied about being asked to be a mentor for the younger linebackers in Pittsburgh. He's a bitter man with an obvious agenda, so I take everything he says with a heap of salt.

but again, who knows. If true, there need to be consequences.

Well I might suggest their roster management from last season already set that fate in stone for them. But I could see a few more calls going against them now.

I will fully admit that the Chiefs were beneficiaries of many calls from officials this year than any other previous year I watched them. I don't think it's the only reason they won the Superbowl...but I don't doubt it helped their case. In the back of my mind, I can't help but wonder if the machine decided that they want Mahomes to be the new Brady and eventually the Chiefs become the hated team who cheat their way to success. If it results in like 5 Suprebowls...I take that fate any day.

Your pessimistic fandom in the face of having who is seemingly the single greatest young QB prospect since Brady is downright impressive. I respect the hell out of that you miserable bastard

What if every team hires a minority? Then does everyone move 10 spots?

Been quite the few days for the NFL.

Quote:
Washington Redskins wide receiver Cody Latimer was arrested early Saturday morning after shots were reportedly fired inside a Douglas County, Colorado, apartment, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Department. Latimer has posted a $25,000 bond, according to the department.

According to a sheriff's department report, a witness said they heard arguing and what sounded like gunshots inside the apartment. One person was identified as having minor, non-gunshot injuries.

Latimer, 27, was taken into custody and sent to the Douglas County Detention Facility. He has been booked on felony charges of assault in the second degree, menacing and illegal discharge of a firearm and misdemeanor charges of prohibited use of a weapon and reckless endangerment.

Former NFL linebacker Antonio Morrison is facing at least one felony intimidation charge after a series of incidents in Carmel, Ind., according to published reports.

Morrison, 25, has been in Marion County Jail since Thursday after being arrested in Indianapolis. According to the Indianapolis Star, he was arrested there on preliminary charges of battery and battery against a public safety official.

It is currently unclear if the Carmel and Indianapolis incidents are related, according to multiple reports. Carmel is located 15 miles north of Indianapolis.

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver was arrested Saturday night in Houston, Texas and charged with DWI and unlawfully carrying a weapon.

Oliver was pulled over after a motorist called 911 and reported a white Ford Superduty pickup that was failing to maintain a lane and driving dangerously in a construction zone, according to montgomerycountypolicereporter.com.

After locating the vehicle and pulling it over, a Montgomery Count Sheriff's Deputy requested a DWI Certified Officer to the scene and a field sobriety test was performed on Oliver, who was found driving with an open container of alcohol between his legs. A subsequent search of Oliver's vehicle found a pistol but no drugs. Oliver was arrested and brought to Kingwood Hospital for a mandatory blood draw before being transported to jail.

Oliver, 22, was booked at the Montgomery County Jail and charged with one count of driving under the Influence of alcohol and one count of unlawfully carrying a weapon, according to the police report.

On right now, live, someone found footage of, and then synced up with each other, all early football games from a week in 1988 and have it put together in a Redzone package, split screen, etc, with a guy explaining things just like Redzone.

Peak delusional right here. But Mahomes deserves a 25% stake in the Chiefs if Dak gets $45 million a season.

It's delusional now but the QB salary scale is increasing annually more than any other position and teams that play hardball with their QB's taking their time to sign them to extensions typically end up shooting themselves in the foot and paying more in the long run. I get that the Chiefs want to try once more to win with Mahomes on his rookie deal but every year that passes means they will have to pay him more long term. I think the Cowboys have to sign him this offseason as that offense is loaded with the addition of Lamb and Prescott's numbers will reflect all the talent around him making his asking price that much higher next offseason.

The problem for me is that I think you could put Andy Dalton in that offense without much of a drop off as Prescott isn't a guy that's going to elevate an offense and if you put him with the Bengals last season they still end up picking Burrows first overall. I think Prescott is a good, middle tier starter which is fine but nowhere near worth being paid top 5 QB money but we all know Jerry loves his boys.

Plug in the Red Rifle, let him put up numbers comparable to Dak, kick Dak to curb.

The Eagles fan in me wants Dak to get $35 million plus a season.

Hell the Eagles fan in me says $50 million a season.
