DanteGabriel Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 An old friend was visiting from LA yesterday. Took the occasion to invite handful of other friends and their families over for a cookout. Most of these guys, I hadn't seen in five or six years after being close colleagues in game development. Everybody except the first invitee had young kids. Young Dante (he's four, can't call him Baby Dante any more) was in heaven, running around with a gang of cohorts, even managing to be gentle with the 16 month old toddling along behind them. My wife, a little uncertain about how much fun she'd have with unknown people, warmed instantly to the crowd and seemed to really hit it off with the mother of the two kids that our son got closest to. We even all bonded over the bourgeois difficulty of finding parents you like to hang out with as much as the kids like each other. So that's what I did while the Pats shit all over themselves in the Jacksonville heat. It was such a busy morning to get ready for the party that I literally forgot about football. I remembered there was a game after I closed the grill, checked my phone, and laughed at the score. I don't think I'll be this apathetic all season, but it's nice that my divorce from the NFL feels... easier than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty clear the Vikings made an overly on-brand (master) race based hiring decision that they came to regret. Fortunately Zane Gonzalez will be available as of today. This doesn't constitute legal advice but he's probably the team's best bet for nipping a discrimination lawsuit in the bud. You've been out-Browned Quote Browns signed K Greg Joseph. Zane Gonzalez — who has had the season nightmares are made of — will be sent packing. We have never heard of Jospeh. He is an UDFA out of Florida Atlantic, where he converted just 69.5 percent of his field goal attempts in Conference USA. We wish the Browns good fortune. Not nice.

TheKitttenGuard Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Carson Weinz to start this Sunday against the Colts. Quote Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentzwas cleared for contact Monday and will start the team's Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24711923/carson-wentz-philadelphia-eagles-start-week-3 Will see if we discuss something with a Carson Wentz game before the Wentz thread is closed.

With a replacement level, Kai Forbath type kicker, they'd be 2-0 right now. Instead they're going the other way and getting an even less proven kicker. I guess when you're 1-32-1 as head coach, you've built up enough equity for us to just trust you on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Quote Josh Gordon - WR - Browns NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots are "getting close" to acquiring Josh Gordon. Remain calm. Gordon to the Patriots would be a true dream outcome for those who took the Gordon plunge in the early/mid-rounds of their draft, but we should not lose sight of the fact that Gordon will be on extremely thin ice wherever he ends up. The Pats are known for giving players second chances. They also known for immediately moving on when those players do not live up to their expectations. Either way, it's hard not to be giddy at the thought of Gordon catching passes from Tom Brady. !! Randy Moss 2.0? From a personnel move at least -- talent-wise Gordon is not an analogue.

DanteGabriel Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If I read it correctly, the deal is that the Browns send a 7th rounder back to NE if Gordon doesn't suit up for 10 games. Sure, Josh Gordon is going to keep his shit together, learn the playbook, and earn Brady's trust. This feels really weird. Pats are flailing at personnel in a way that's hard to remember. Between Gordon, Kenny Britt, and Corey Coleman (cut to make room for Gordon) they've run through the Browns' recent wide receiver room. Heard on the radio driving home that dropping Coleman is the team's 28th WR transaction since the start of the league year. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Getting a fifth for a seventh for a guy who (reading between the lines) was so insubordinate that he had to be dismissed is a good deal for the Browns. The chances Gordon doesn't screw up are small enough to almost dismiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
