Surprised it is only a 15 percent hike on the non-club seats. Only sorta kidding. - Walter.

As a Houston Texans' fan I think trading DeAndre Hopkins is the stupidest decision the club has made in some time. This guy was in the conversation for best in the league. Super dependable and always making the tough catches. To quote a noted Southern philosopher - "And even I know that ain't...

Is there an echo in here? :) - Walter.

As a Cowboys fan, I'm pretty happy with both of them. :) What impressed me about Romo during one game (I don't recall the specifics but I don't think it was a Cowboys game) he was analyzing the defensive formation in real time and describing how the offense should attack the defense and what...

Given their limited time on the field, any player who settles for less than the market will bear, is hurting themselves. Winning is all well and good, but at the end of the day it is all about the money. (At least that is my opinion on the topic of player contracts.) - Walter.

Mostert just got his third rushing TD. Looking at the replay, the hole the 49ers opened up in the Green Bay defense was big enough to drive a car through. - Walter.

Yeah, I see that he (Bruce) is in the group of finalists for 2020. Certainly deserving of a spot. - Walter.

Re: Drew Pearson and the HOF... I was looking at the career stats for NFL Wide Receivers and Pearson is kind of in the middle of pack for career receiving yards. I did not attempt to factor in things like averages / year. Just looking at the stats to get a feel for where he placed. One of...

Doh! Thanks for the correction. :) - Walter,

In agreement that Tua is smart to go to the NFL. Given his injuries I am not sure that he could improve his draft status by staying at Alabama. Officiating in the NFL continues to be inconsistent. It isn't to say that every call is wrong, but simply too many calls are missed. There was a...

Yeah, they showed a graphic earlier today during one of the games showing New England's record with and without a bye. I don't recall the specifics but all of the Super Bowl appearances were during years with first round byes (and none without). They have played six playoff games without a...

He won't be 'poor' when he gets that signing bonus. :) - Walter.

I'd say that Joe Burrow solidified his NFL Draft status with today's outing. Sure, there is one more game on LSU's schedule, but damn what a beatdown LSU put on OU today at the Peach Bowl. Burrow had seven touchdown passes on 21 for 27 passing with 403 yards in the first half. Sheesh. -...

Certainly agree that it is difficult to compare. Picking a single 'best' is almost impossible for me. I never saw Jim Brown play, just footage from earlier games so it is difficult to assess, but yeah he stood out from the earlier players. Someone who was definitely ahead of his time in terms...

Not only the rules, but the number of games in the regular which permits players to pile up career stats at an inflated rate vs. earlier generations. - Walter.

I viewed some, but not all of these episodes on the NFL network. For the most part I am pretty okay with the selections and I agree that some of the early great players should get their due. Also agree, as the commentators on the main show and the reaction show pointed out, that football has...

Nothing has been proven in a court of law, but this is one of those stories that just makes me shake my head in disgust... https://www.thedailybeast.com/clinton-portis-former-nfl-stars-stole-nearly-dollar4-million-from-league-health-care-program-doj?ref=home - Walter

They might have been booing the referees. Some pretty bad officiating in this game, that hurt the Patriots and potentially took 11 points off of the board. - Walter.

Fair enough. Time for supper... - Walter.

He probably gets less conversation than some of the other elite QBs like Mahones, Brady, and Rodgers; so I can agree with that perspective; although I'm not entirely sure that is correct. I probably don't watch enough 'outside the game' NFL coverage to have an informed opinion. Wilson does...

Is he? Really? He is currently the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. If you google just about any quarterback list on the internet, Wilson will poll in the top 5 or 6 on most lists. You could argue that he should rank a little higher on these lists, maybe top 3; but for me that doesn't...

Yeah, Burrow was impressive in today's game which turned into a shootout between LSU and Alabama. I liked his composure in the pocket and his ability to perform down the stretch in the 4th quarter. Tua was coming off an injury and it showed during certain parts of the game; but they will both...

Was getting pretty tired of hearing how great the Patriots were, when they hadn't really played any team that was terribly competitive. Just another season where it is a cakewalk to a playoff seeding due to the nature of the AFC East. So yeah, I really enjoyed Sunday evening. I don't hate the...

Hope springs eternal for football fans and their franchises. I was fooled by the Cowboys' performance against mediocre competition early in the season and then reality set in. :) Pretty much in agreement with Scott regarding Stafford. IIRC, a lot of his stats have been derived from comeback...

While I realize that this is not indicative of the entire fan base, I found this pretty disturbing... https://nypost.com/2019/09/22/patriots-fans-threaten-reporter-who-revealed-second-accusation-against-antonio-brown/ Folks, it's just a game. - Walter.

I claim no real insight into AB; sometimes a blind squirrel finds an acorn. :) - Walter.

He isn't the only professional athlete whose behavior became more (I don't know - erratic?) once they had established themselves in their sport. Exhibit one: Dennis Rodman. I suspect that there are multiple factors at play. Ego - since everyone is telling you how great you are, and AB...
