Bronn Stone Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Any mention of cursed NFL franchises without stopping by the Chargers is probably missing out. 50+ years without a title AND we lost the damned team to our least favorite city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if they'll stick with Tomlin and still keep guys around forever. They've always seemed like one of the most loyalist teams in the league, to me. I don't see things changing much. His son Art has been the one running the team for years now as president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why anyone would be taking these clowns at the top of the draft. Are they at least better prospects than Wentz and Goff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty comparable, with your better tools guys having questionable exposure a la Wentz, or your more tested guys having limited tools and coming from problematic systems like Goff.

Urban Dictionary and Wikipedia both say that Cincy and Charlotte both claim Queen City as a nickname. That just won't work. As everyone knows, in every group of friends there can only be one guy you call Moose. If a second guy wants the name, he has to be something else. (Edit: Or kill the first guy...)

DanteGabriel Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't want to alarm anyone, but it sure looks like, from analysis of his correspondence with team equipment staff, that Eli Manning was, more likely than not, at least generally aware of a conspiracy to engage in fraud related to football equipment. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/04/13/new-york-giants-eli-manning-steiner-sports-memorabilia-scandal-roger-goodell I am sure Sheriff Goodell is keenly interested in this and eager to prove he's not just a lapdog for John "Domestic Abuse Enabler" Mara.

sperry Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 They should definitely throw the book at Eli, although sounds like in this instance criminal charges could be warranted. In fairness to Eli, though, I have always believed that he is legitimately mentally retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guarantee Eli gets off lighter than Tom Brady, who allegedly let some air out of a football (and has a defense based on the laws of physics....)

Maybe this is just the result of 5 years of accounting education and 2 years in audit, but actual fraud is a much bigger deal than cheating (and I'm on the record as stating the NFL needs to retake high school science and think about the meaning of due process).
