At least the NCAA College Basketball Tournament has given us some thrills!!
I agree. But I hate having to root against dook this long into the dance.
BTW: What's plan B if A-A-Ron goes to Minnesota instead of Pittsburgh? Can't imagine they'll be eager to select a QB in this year's draft after their recent experience with Kenny Pickett.
I've given up on figuring out what Pittsburgh is up to. There's so much out there on MSM that sometimes even I can't figure out what's truth & what's not. Could I believe Rooney not wanting to pay AARod? Sure can. But, your guess is as good as mine in this case.
Ummm... Moe? Why did T.J. Watt just tweet this?!

Sorry Jerry, I've been out off town. I think Watt's contract needs to be renewed & the Steelers are in a pickle about $$$. Myles Garrett got a bunch of $$, as well as others.
I just have this bad feeling that the new Steelers regime [Omar, to be specific] isn't Kevin
Colbert. Look at how this thing with Rogers is playing out. I really have to get back into it. What do you think about the possibility of Steelers taking a QB in the draft? I shudder about that, considering what happened with Kenny Pickett.
Shadeur Sanders is not to be compared to Kenny Pickett in any regard. He would be an absolute gift at #21. I have a feeling he's going sooner than he's project, though. I won't be shocked if Pittsburgh grabs Jaxson Dart if Sanders isn't available. Rodgers is just a bridge QB and I wouldn't wait for him to make up his mind.
Well, I'm glad with both of my teams. Falcons grabbing Jalon Walker already had me excited, but also trading up and grabbing James Pearce, Jr. has me wishing the season would start tomorrow. Clearly, the front office got the memo that an anemic pass rush is bad for business. And Miami addressed one of its biggest needs by picking Kenneth Grant to play nose tackle. Atlanta's effectively out of picks now, but the Fins have plenty, so I have a reason to watch these last two days.
And Moe, I think Pittsburgh blew an opportunity to grab their QB of the future. My brother said he'd be happy if they can come out of this exercise with Jalen Milroe instead of Shadeur Sanders [I disagree, for the record], but there's honestly a good chance that they can do that with their third round pick since they don't have a second. Other than that, we're looking at them signing Rodgers or trading for Cousins, which is kicking the can down the road. With that being said, I like the pick but wonder if they're letting T.J. Watt know that they're preparing for his retirement or other departure.
Intriguing.
.......And there goes Shedur Sanders.......again
Steelers take running back from Iowa. I do agree with your brother. I like Milroe over Sanders.
The Browns took Dillon Gabriel over Sanders. Gabriel will be lucky to hang on as a backup and nobody disputes Sanders' ability as a starter. They're trying to teach him [and other 'uppity' players] a lesson. So, it's not about talent.
Probably not, but I'm happy with the Steelers draft of Will Howard.
And good luck to the Browns with 5 QB's.
Falcons only had 5 picks, but they nailed all of them. Dolphins had 8 and they did a good job to, IMO. Both signed some of the top undrafted players, so I'm a little bit optimistic after slow offseasons.
I honestly think Sanders is going to be Cleveland's starting QB at the end of the season. Flacco's going to start in Cleveland. They're ridiculous for drafting Dillon Gabriel before drafting him. I liked Gabriel in college, but he was in the best possible situation regarding offensive line and weapons. Sanders had a trash offensive line and still played well. Howard's going to be a decent backup. A lot has to go right for your team to have a good season with the QB situation still unsettled.
I completely forgot about Watson's injuries, so now they're down to 4.
I'm still in a state of disbelief that Sanders fell that far. Was this some grand plan by the teams? Why? Now wouldn't that be something that he balls out!
Reports are saying he "blew off" the interview process with teams and didn't take the process seriously. Consequently, many quarterback needy teams refused to consider him. It's ridiculous. Consider: Archie Manning told the Chargers not to draft Eli or he wouldn't let him sign and Eli still got selected. John Elway told the Colts that he'd play baseball if they drafted him and that didn't affect the Broncos from drafting him.
And [sorry for this last example] the Steelers, who desperately need a plan at quarterback, drafted Will Howard over Sanders while they're waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make up his mind. The same Aaron Rodgers who is a notorious attention hound and blew up the locker room in Green Bay because they drafted Jordan Love. The same Aaron Rodgers who brings embarrassing attention to teams because he believes every conspiracy on Facebook. The guy who was suspended for two weeks for lying about his vaccinated status during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC and regularly pops up on The Pat McAfee Show to spew dangerous medical advice.
Yeah, that team passed on Shadeur Sanders because of his perceived attitude. Gotcha.I swore off rooting for the Browns after they traded for DeShaun Watson, but I might change my mind if [when] Sanders takes over the starting role. Ridiculous.
And now I read that Shiloh Sanders "fired" his father & got an agent before the draft? I guess he went undrafted & is joining the Bucs.
Rumors now are circulating that Sanders took the predraft process so lightly he was wearing headphones during interviews and making jokes instead of answering questions. They also are saying he travelled with an entourage of yes men. If these things are true, it changes my perspective just a little bit. I think his father's statement that he [Deion] would control the process of team selection a la Archie Manning has a lot to do with it. Some are saying, coaches are insecure and if they drafted Shedeur, there might be rumblings for the team to replace them with his dad. Finally, there's the Tim Tebow Effect where teams don't think his talent is worth the attention he'll bring.
I think he slid because of his father's statement AND because he handled the interviews as if he was doing teams a favor by showing up. As a young Black man in America, you can't give power brokers a reason to make an example out of you and he might have done that. With all of that being said, the Steelers can't pretend that quarterback character matters when they're trying to sign the one with the worst demeanor in the league.
I hope he stays proud and proves everybody who passed on him wrong.
I also saw that interview with Deion Sanders. He stated Shedeur "should be 1 & Shiloh should be no more than 4th pick." Well, what can I say? I would tell both of them to show everyone what you can do despite your father.
I can't even figure out what the Steelers will do.
Dad needs to let the kids sink or swim. They lost the protection of being high round draft picks and since neither Cleveland or Tampa Bay have invested significant capital in them. They can be cut for showing up late or falling asleep in a meeting. They should both approach their new jobs as if they're on thin ice and be seen, and not heard. Especially Shadeur, since reports are circulating that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam inserted himself into the draft process and pulled rank over the GM to draft him. If that's true, Kevin Stefanski is probably ticked off and looking for reasons to cut him.
Jimmy Haslam butted in with Watson, too......& look how that turned out.
I agree, Jerry. They need to let their Dad go & continue coaching in Colorado. Well, as I said....supposedly Shiloh cut loose from Dad. Shedeur.....not so much. Since their position in the draft isn't so great then they gotta work for it.
Jerry, don't even ask how I feel about the latest Steeler...........
I know, I know. Big brother is beside himself about it but you have to support your team. Many are wondering if missing the playoffs with this knob will prompt a regime change in Pittsburgh. They already have a steep climb to pass Baltimore and the Bungles, but we'll see if history is kind to the decision. Note: Although I'm not a Steelers fan, this won't cause me to actively root against them the way I root against the Browns since the Watson signing. And I'll go into overdrive if Sanders isn't given a fair chance to make the team.
I should've known that i would find you two in the sports page...what's up my peeps? Looks like the commanders have gotten good since i was last here.
Is jayden daniels good or what? Wow i can't believe that my home team is a real competitor, of course philly will win again unless baltimore or buffalo steps up....hey moe..arron rodgers really???
Dude?! DUDE?? DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness. Can't believe you're back, Jai. We're all old enough that when somebody disappears, I don't question why.
Brother, I've been missing you for a long time and I'm almost happy you have a quarterback, too. Now, I can't wait for the season to start.
Hey my brother so good to know that you're still around to keep em in line[hehe]for a while i wasn't sure if i was gonna get back in on any website it was rough for a minute, but here i am snd i too am looking forward to the start of a new nfl season...glad to be home!!
So, the Washington football team formerly known as the Washington Football Team got the best quarterback since the Bungles grabbed Joey B. and we didn't get to hear about you breaking open the special 5-week old bottle of hooch you were saving for Daniel Snyder's conviction for crimes against humanity. We was robbed of sharing your joy. Then, they snatched away Deebo Samuel. With that being said, we're a month or so from getting the band back together and hope springs eternal this time of year.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,the best time i've had in football in a loooooong time and hopefully more to come, of course your dirty birds got a pretty good qb also, heck ya'll almost beat us and we play you again this year, thefalcons are scary good.
I'm the most optimistic about the Falcons than I've been since 2017 [year after the Super Bowl]. Finally addressed the defensive line and there are few distractions. Penix played well against y'all but JD was just Him last season. I heard they're friends and I'm hoping the magic rubs off.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins are being predicted to have a terrible year by most national reporters but I'm low key excited about their prospects. Injuries got us the last three years. Hopefully, we can avoid key players going down late in the season again. If we can fix our secondary in the next couple of months, I expect good things. But maybe I'm stupid.
I'm hoping the Browns do right with Shedeur Sanders so I can stop hating them. They were my Pops' favorite team but when they signed DeShaun Watson, I started rooting against them. Not saying Sanders deserves anything, but a lot of folks think the coach has it in for him before training camp even begins. Meanwhile, I think he's already made the team but they're putting him through rigors for growth purposes.
I like pennix he's gonna be a good one for you, as for the brows and shedeur i too think that he'll make the team and might even play at some point, but i'm just excited about the season and our chances vs. The eagles, folks forget that we're the last team to beat em.
Cleveland fans are upset that Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel are getting offseason reps with the 1st and 2nd team players and Sanders is limited to playing with 3rd and 4th stringers. They think it shows the coach is favoring Gabriel and Pickett and not willing to give Sanders a fair chance. Sanders, by the way, is said to be practicing better than any QB besides 40-year old Joe Flacco right now.
Personally, I know the kid wouldn't sit on waivers for more than 15 minutes without being picked up by another team. I'm sure the Browns know this, as well. That makes me believe that Sanders isn't competing for the final spot; the other two are. They're throwing to the better players and not looking as good because the coach isn't rostering four QBs and Sanders is already ahead of them. We'll find out in training camp.
By the way: The Washington football team formerly known as the Washington Football Team [TWFTFKATWFT] needs to make Terry McLaurin happy. You have all the momentum in the world and this dude deserves to be happy. Find common ground and pay the man who's been your best and most consistent receiver since the Smurfs.
I totally agree about terry getting paid, heck what would they be without him, aalthough we know he gonna get paid before training camp.
