Dal v Phi. Clearly the goal of NBC at least is to not have more than a second of silence.

It's like the various apps and sites that have to come up with content no matter what it is.

The latest trend is a headline that looks factual, and towards the end of the announcement This is an opinion not a ~ real thing.



Trekgeekscott -> RE: Other NFL News (9/5/2025 9:05:28 AM)

That game last night was a tale of two halves.

First half, defense optional.

Second half, offensively challenged.

All but 3 points in the game scored in the first half.

What looked like a barnburner at the beginning ended up being a dud. but the weather delay probably had a lot to do with it.

Jerry Jones " we are one impact defensive player from winning that game" I wonder who they could have had?

Det looked rather ordinary. Their oline couldn't even handle a Clark less GB dline.

Hutchinson was invisible.

GB came to play.

Parsons wasn't invisible.

But Det should be very worried about its oline. That was one of their strengths. If Goff gets flustered he starts throwing the ball to the wrong team. He's looked good the last couple years because the Oline kept him pretty clean. Losing Ragnow to retirement has had a far greater effect than they realized, Methinks.

It was nice to see the Lions get knocked off the pedestal a bit. but Losing to the Packers is not. Packers have already matched their division win total from 2024.

Parsons is definitely a force. Sewell looked like dog shit. Det looked very flat and didn't put any pressure on Love.

Devin Hester's favorite punter is at it again.

What an attention seeking loser he is.

That's a political post designed to look football-ish.

Why don't you take it to the Political threads? That whole section (to include music, etc) was built to keep the Vikings threads about the Vikings and football.

You played tag line cop to me one time. You told me to keep political tag lines off the sports boards. So I deleted the one I had made.

You don't seem to care about tag lines that support your political agenda. Seen plenty of them since then but you turn a blind eye.

I'll stop with this now. Anything else on this subject I will PM you.

Tags and posts are apples and oranges in a way. I view tag lines differently than direct political posts in the Vikings/football threads if a person posts primarily in the political threads.

I don't recall playing tag line cop (but will defer to you on that) because I don't notice let alone read tag lines. They are sort of in the background. If I did comment on yours it was because it was new (ergo it caught my eye) and/or was pretty ****ed up.

If someone read specific posts in the political thread, they'd know what the tag was about. Otherwise, it doesn't show any political bend or lean.

But I'll delete it regardless.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: Other NFL News (10/2/2025 4:17:07 PM)

Jim Marshall is a nominee again. Odds are still stacked against him getting in. Too many players with good resumes so it would almost have to be luck of the draw. And while SB appearances alone shouldn't dictate things, they are a factor when a player did great in the championship games and SBs. Or when a player was invisible. Marshall has zero sacks vs Miami, Pittsburgh, and Oakland (1 vs KC). And although rushing was in vogue back then, they ran all over the Vikings to the tune of 196, 249, 266 yards respectively.

And Foreman, no.

Marshall should et in just for his wrong way run.

Ted Lasso vibes for the Indianapolis Colts.

I didn't realize that Carlie Irsay-Gordon was running the team.

"She is an absolute sicko (complimentary)"

Pretty funny that she takes over and the team is 7-1.



David Levine -> RE: Other NFL News (12/9/2025 12:40:25 PM)

It’s official, dadgummit. The Indianapolis Colts are bringing 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers out of retirement and signing him to their practice squad, league sources told The Athletic on Tuesday.

Rivers, who retired after leading the Colts to the playoffs in 2020, worked out for the team on Monday night, sources said. The team obviously liked what it saw, as the eight-time Pro Bowler will rejoin the franchise nearly five years after he last took an NFL snap.



Mark Anderson -> RE: Other NFL News (2/11/2026 3:05:47 PM)

This is from Boomer Esiason. He wants to ban California from ever hosting another SB.

California has a "jock tax" for non resident athletes. So Darnold made $178K playing in SB but he had to pay $249K in taxes for the week he was there. The "Jock Tax" was based off his salary for the year.

How does Cali have an $18B deficit when they taxing the living crap out of people?



Phil Riewer -> RE: Other NFL News (2/20/2026 9:22:03 AM)

The Florida Senate has passed the "Teddy Bridgewater Act," which would allow high school coaches to spend up to $15,000 of their own money for player meals, transportation, and recovery services.

Bridgewater coached high school football in Miami and was suspended and then resigned for providing "impermissible benefits" to his players — which included Uber rides, physical therapy, pregame meals, recovery help, field paint, and more.

Deficit wise, in the major categories of government debt (overall state (10), long-term (<10), net pension (<10), other-post employment (7), total of bonds/loans/notes (10)) California is mostly at or lower than 10th per capita.

In overall tax burden, California is about 4th to 6th amongst various sites.

A household making $1.44 million is in California's highest tax bracket (12.3% + a 1% surcharge). The horror!

Other states have a jock tax too. Whether it is significant or not is an individual thing. California's imposes the same tax on Hollywood actors/entertainers. Wonder if crocodile tears are being shed for them?

And if taxes are too high, people are totally free to move to states like Mississippi, West Virginia, or N/S Dakota so that they can keep their "living crap" inside their bodies.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: Other NFL News (2/22/2026 11:37:54 AM)

Also, the jock tax has been in articles and in the news on and off since 19991. During those THIRTY-FIVE years, were people up in arms about athletes having to pay more? Or, because California is involved, is this a way for people to politicize yet another thing?

Rather than cherry pick Darnold's approx $30+ million salary as ammo for an outcry, how about showing the financial effects on say a trainer or administrator who was there for the same seven days.

If this is so unfair and outrageous, people need to walk the walk, set up a GoFundMe for Darnold, and contribute to poor Sam's cause!

As a footnote, the jock tax can be offset for residents of states that have an income tax. Washington isn't one of those states.

HOUSTON -- The first of many offseason paydays for the Texans defense came Thursday with a one-year, $40 million contract extension for defensive end Danielle Hunter, a source confirmed to ESPN.

This is Hunter's second extension with Houston after signing a two-year, $49 million deal as a free agent in March 2024 following an eight-year stint with the Minnesota Vikings.

After he finished with 12 sacks and Pro Bowl honors in 2024, the Texans rewarded him with a one-year, $35.6 million extension to the back end of that original deal. They also gave him a $12 million raise in 2025, bumping his salary to $32 million.

Hunter's second year with Houston surpassed his debut season as he finished with 15 sacks (third in the NFL) and 15 tackles for loss (eighth). His production earned him second-team All-Pro honors as the Texans' defense ranked No. 2 in scoring (17.4 PPG) and total defense (279.1 YPG).
