[2025] NFL Season Thread

Lmao of course

sometimes NFL really is an experiment to see how fast somebody can ruin their lives or careers cause they can't be a decent human being for 5 minutes

 

[shortkut]

well Odell Beckham Jr. might be done in the NFL because he's a fucking idiot

Save me the effort of searching for it and summarize please

basically OBJ was named in as a defendant in the Diddy case involving the R word. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/arti...ing_complaint_against_diddy/s1_17236_41878969

 

[Fool's Requiem]

the r word, lol

In less rape involved news, the Browns and Myles Garrett agreed to a massive contract extension that keeps him in Cleveland until 2030 where he'll likely just retire. All this nonsense about him wanting to be traded if the Browns weren't serious about contending and the Browns just throw a bunch of money in his face and he's like, "Sure, I'll embrace the sadness."

People are speculating that this definitely means they're picking a QB at #2.

It’s just a shame for them that neither of the top 2 quarterbacks are worthy of a top 10 pick any other year

Davante Adams to the Rams. All but confirming Cooper Kupp will be traded soon.

Harold Landry to the Patriots. I like the move.

DK Metcalf traded to the Steelers. I don't like the move because I think the Patriots should have made this deal if Higgins is off the table. If Higgins garners a similar trade value and contract (he should) the Patriots and Bengals better be all over it.

Geno Smith traded to the Raiders. I mean... I'm not sure what Seattle is doing other than ruining JSN's career.

in today's edition of NFL player is (possibly) a fucking idiot L'Jarius Sneed is being sued for a shooting incident outside a car dealership

I know It's technically not the NFL but I don't think it really needs its' own thread but has anyone been watching the UFL or are they done with football till the NFL season starts

I dont watch it. I have a friend that does, I pretty much am only watch my team stage of life at the moment and the occasional big match up

I was going to play a ufl fantasy league but didn’t manage to join in time. I’m crazy

 

[A Maybe Baker]

My wife doesn't enjoy watching sports too often, so I don't try to overwhelm the system with too many games.

She hates basketball the least (from SoCal, where the typical person actually cares about the Lakers. Her dad actually enjoys both the Lakers and Clippers, so games are on quite often when we visit), so right now I tend to put on the NBA playoffs.

 

[Fire Queen]

i'd have more than a passing interest in the UFL if i had a more local team but eh. the fact that it's where skip holtz (former ECU coach) ended up and that he's thriving there is very funny though

The Eagles decided they're going to go to the White House to visit Trump.

Jalen Hurts was like "Yeah, my schedule is booked up until next year, I can't go, soz."

Yep, that's awesome. Respect to Hurts, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, etc.

Same. There's always a certain pressure to attend these things, and less than half the team attending really did surprise me.

 

[Fire Queen]

jeff lurie not exactly offering the best explanation

Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie recently explained why they accepted the invitation this time.

"We just felt this is a time-honored tradition being invited by the White House. So, there was no reticence whatsoever. To be celebrated at the White House is a good thing," he said. "There were special circumstances back then that were very different, and so this was kind of an obvious choice and look forward to it."

special circumstances?? very different???? no dude you're just more scared of trump now lmao

I can only assume that the special circumstances were that no one ever assumed that the American public would be stupid enough to elect Trump again.

JOK is out for the entire 2025 season. Placed on the physically unable to perform list. Dude's neck is likely fucked.

People in the Browns sub think this is the end for his career.

 

[Jon]

I wonder if it’s like Chris Carson’s neck injury a few years back. Doctors told him if he kept playing one wrong hit would paralyze him.

I thought exactly the same thing when I read that he was out for the year. Obviously I'm not a medical professional, but surely to injure such a fragile part of your body that seriously is not a good sign going forwards.

Absolutely. I remember reading about Carson and how he was going to try to play through it, but my goodness I'm glad he didn't. I'd say the same thing here. Your neck is one of the most undervalued parts of your body, housing the protection to your spine. It's not worth your long term health to try and push this. Retire if you have to. I don't know know much about JOK, but I'll assume married with kids. Don't do it to them.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Neck and back injuries never go way.

Brock Purdy is getting 265 million over 5 years (181 guaranteed).

Finally got what he deserved.

I think that's a serious overpay for a system QB.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

I think that's a serious overpay for a system QB.

Is there any realistic route to getting him cheaper? He's a quality starter regardless of whether you consider him to be a system QB or not. You can't move on from a player like that. If players like Kyler Murray and Trevor Lawrence have gotten big deals, I don't see how you can avoid paying Purdy something equivalent.

gotta pay your franchise QB

Quality QBs are hard to come by. Just look at Cleveland, Chicago... or the Jets.

53 million per season for a system qb is ridiculous. This is a system that made jimmy garoppolo look great and backups like dobbs, beathard, Kyle allen and Brian hoyer look respectable. He could literally draft anyone and have similar results.

Don’t get me wrong though. Last pick in the draft. To fleece anyone team into giving you 53 million per season is an accomplishment.

But like jimmy g, would do squat on any other team. So it’s a good match. I think it’s absurd money for a system qb but it’s smart for both sides.

Not really comparable. Cleveland, the Jets and Chicago have bad ownerships and terrible coaches. Giants too for the most part. I’m willing to bet even Zach Wilson would be a Super Bowl contender on the niners.

Or do like me and settle for 80% of the games and get a vpn! Between that and the local streaming channels I pay maybe $30 per month for 80% of the games.

To be fair, they invested a lot in Trey Lance and he wasn't good enough in the system to keep.

I do have a VPN, but enjoy not paying. I also dont watch much pro football outside the Giants, Im more of a college football guy

naaaaaaaah

He played two games for them then blew his leg out in a crappy weather game. And has never really been given a chance after. He looked fine in one start with Dallas last season. Hard to judge him to be fair.
