Ha ha! I thought I was going to be listening to Bill Plaschke for a minute there - I'm surprised I lasted long enough to figure out it was you, Brad.

I did learn one valuable thing: I can now pronounce your last name correctly

Good for you - keep having fun


Hoisflamer? What's so hard about that?

If you really want something fun to watch, check this show out. About a minute in they put my sorry-ass in the trailer.

It's actually a really good show. All five seasons are entertaining. Best seasons are 1-3-5.

If healthy, Donald will terrorize Rodgers.

Rams scoring enough points is the only problem.

The Rams can have a good running attack at times and the Packer defense is less than mediocre. Goff is a disaster. They need to take the game out of his hands.

Agreed. They cannot afford to fall behind. Geoff was bad before he broke his thumb.

IMO, one of the worst 2-3 quarterbacks in the league. One of the very few with a more obscene contract than Cousins.

If it just looks like the weather is bad, but it's actually mild, then the Rams could get fooled into thinking they can win the game the way the Vikings did, with running the ball. The Packers then key on the run, and play loose on offense. If the Packers play loose on offense, they'll spread the ball out more, and then the Rams will get behind early, and be in trouble.

Still, they have to play the game and the Rams do have the better defense. Defense does win championships. The betting money, I heard, is heavy on the side of the Packers. I guess you could say that's the prevailing wisdom. Of course ALL of us here will be rooting for the Rams. I would be shocked if there was one poster here rooting for the Packers.

You probably heard wrong considering the spread opened at -7.5 pack and is now -6.5.

SEATTLE -- Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon has been suspended indefinitely again after the NFL rescinded his conditional reinstatement.

An NFL spokesperson told ESPN that the decision stems from Gordon violating terms of his conditional reinstatement under the league's substance-abuse policy. No other details were provided from the league.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported last month that Gordon, 29, had another setback in his recovery from substance abuse as he was nearing his return to the field after a yearlong suspension. A source told Fowler at the time that Gordon was grappling with the reality that he might never be allowed to play in the NFL again as indications throughout the process of his reinstatement from that suspension were that this was probably his final strike.

The league suspended Gordon indefinitely in December 2019 for violations of its policies on substances of abuse and performance-enhancing substances. That was Gordon's sixth suspension since the 2013 season and his fifth for some form of substance abuse, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

Not long ago, after multiple suspensions, many in here wanted to trade a first-rounder for him....

I feel for the guy, because his life is unmanageable at this point. A definitive disposition from the NFL might just save his life.

Wow. I know how hard it is for an addict to get straightened out. You have to admit to yourself that booze/drugs are the master of your life, and you want to take control of your life again. He hasn't reached that point yet. Forget football and get your life situated first. that's the most important thing you have.

Cousins and three #1 picks? Would they take Cousins? Can we compete with a Miami offer of Tua and a bunch of picks?

(And then can we can Zimmer and hire Bieniemy since he's Watson's preferred HC?)

Watson probably gives you a franchise QB for 5 years. Cousins gives you a franchise QB for zero years.

Status: offline 		Watching Watson highlights from 2020, and then watching Cousin's highlights from 2020 is interesting.

Cousins is mostly reliant on getting rid of the ball quickly. If a play breaks down, he is usually finished, that is why there aren't a whole lot of plays where he makes something happen after quick pressure, unless he is doing a wide rollout.

Status: offline 		I watch Cousin's highlights and think that Watson makes every one of those throws. With his escapability, he's on the Vikings and there would be 10-15 more TDs.

Put Cousins on Houston, and there would be 10-15 fewer TDs because he would have been sacked on plays where Watson escaped.

Jefferson is simply amazing. He is already better than Fuller. Watson throwing to Theilen and Jefferson would be something else, more magical than what Favre brought.

Looking at the Stafford deal, no way that gets us Watson.

And he's only 25. He potentially gives you a franchise QB for the next decade.

Why give him that contract as a stop-gap QB when you can just get a young guy like Tua intead?
