James Arryn Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 How was Steve Young:A Football Life? I can't decide if he'd be really interesting or boring as fuck. I used to think he was destined to get involved in politics, but he seems to enjoy going off on confrontational rants too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many commercials that I'll regularly be watching 3 games at the same time and all 3 of them are on commercial break at the same time.

There was a lot more going wrong than just the right tackle. O-Lines typically follow the "chain is as strong as it's weakest link" rule. The downgrade from a pro-bowl caliber player to a 7th round rookie is immense. Letting a sack happen on the first play forces adjustments from the rest of the line, making them all just a little worse individually. Doug Pederson deserves the blame here. He could have had Howie Roseman go shopping for a another O-Lineman when news broke about Johnson, but at that time, I think we all were expecting a 5-11 rebuilding year. When Wentz looked like a seasoned QB after 3 games, the possibility of 2016 viability existed. The the rookie RT killed that. I'm back to being resigned to a lost year in 2016. Get an upgrade on the line, get another receiving threat, and maybe even get rid of Jim Schwartz and his 9 wide gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think he was destined to get involved in politics, but he seems to enjoy going off on confrontational rants too much. It wasn't bad. The central theme revolves around a book about his life that was written. He originally hired the author to put it together as a recollection on his playing days for his kids. His oldest was born a year after he retired. The biggest takeaway was how much he hated being a backup first at BYU to McMahon, in Tampa to Steve DeBerg, to Joe, and his famous benching for Grbac and his subsequent meltdown against the Eagles. Also talked about how he was always a bit different as a single guy in the league and while they didn't specifically mention it as a reason it was clear his Mormon faith set him apart. Funniest line was when he talked about being in Tampa and not knowing anyone, so he would drive around alone at night at eat dinner by himself at Wendy's. He was also pretty open about the competition with Joe and his frustrations. All in all, I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An hour later it's top of the 6th!!! This is why I can't watch baseball! Even as a Nats fan and an NLDS against the Dodgers that couldn't have been more drama filled, I found it tedious to watch. Every game in the series was 4+ hours. The 7th inning in Game 5 took literally an hour and the Nats went through 6 different RPs. The biggest thing I can't stand about NFL pacing is Commercial Break -> Kickoff touchback -> Commercial Break. It's just an offensive money grab.

JonSnow4President Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 So tonight is Packers v Bears. I just want to warn everyone that I'm starting 3 WR's tonight (Montgomery, Meredith, Jeffrey). As such, do not expect big production from them. 47 minutes ago, Jaime L said: The biggest thing I can't stand about NFL pacing is Commercial Break -> Kickoff touchback -> Commercial Break.

I made a rant in the off-season that they keep fucking with the kickoff instead of eliminating it because of the free commercial. They don't give a fuck about safety. And why can't you get PM's? I'm trying to talk business with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 With Lacy on IR I expect Montgomery to be a fantasy star. At least he better be considering I grabbed him in every league I'm in. Also, hey @Manhole Eunuchsbane, this week, we're frenemies!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rusher is Jackson, but I doubt they're going to run as much as usual (which would actually be difficult to do). Montgomery as a receiver out of the backfield, and filling in for a likely missing Adams is what I think gives him value this week. If a rusher develops in that backfield, I think it has to be Davis, but that sure as hell won't be 3 days after being traded. He has to get close to knowing a chunk of the playbook.

Trent Richardson once scored a touchdown vs the heyday 49ers 2 days after being traded to the Colts. And nobody ever saw him get past the line of scrimmage again...
