  1. They won't have to. If I'm not mistaken, he is already guaranteed $38 mil. On the 3rd day of the 2015 league year (whatever date that is) he's guaranteed another $10 mil. So either he's there next year and guaranteed more money, or cut and costs just what they've already guaranteed him so far. And then somebody will sign him in a heartbeat.
  2. Cutler and Sanchez will both be starting in the NFL in 2015, albeit in different towns. When you've got 32 job openings and, after 100 years in operation, currently have about 10-12 guys who capably do the job, there's always room for a second or third chance.
  3. Agreed, but somebody will be desperate enough to pay Sanchez more than Philly should. The defensive backfield has been atrocious all year, and it has baffled me how even the biggest homer could ink this team was a real contender. Unless playing an inferior QB (and fortunately there are about 20 starting in the league) or a good one who is barely upright ( Newton, Romo on Thanksgiving), the pass rush can't hide those inadequacies. It's a HUGE problem and they can't score enough points to offset it regardless who the QB is.

    Lord, no. She'd marry him then. Y'know, to help him.

    This. You keep digging deeper for justification to stay in contact with him: restraining orders can push people over the top, better to speak with his family than authorities, hoping he gets straightened out, blah blah blah. You wouldn't engage in this kind of crap unless you got something out of it. You need to hope that you get straightened out and, as what is presumably an adult woman, stop having relationships that are dealt with on a junior high level. He's some guy; you're some girl. It didn't work out, possibly for many reasons, but essentially because he's goofy and you feed off weird dynamics that are doomed from the start. Just stop it. Work on having a real life with a real relationship, not somebody that is pre-destined for failure so you can alternately moon over "what could be if only" and "if only I could fix him".

    oh crap it's on now. 2 cops assassinated

    A gun death is the fault of the shooter. Not the gun. Not society. Crazy people will do crazy . Hear that weekly here. Unless you can find a societal event or group on which to blame the shooters actions. Guy was an insane criminal who had already killed somebody and was going to go out in a blaze of glory ( in the mind of the dregs of scum that he was). A killer killed. He didn't need motivation. Ooh, he said things on social media. THAT must be the key. Not that he was a deranged piece of . It's a sad day in America for a multitude of reasons, the greatest of which is the loss of two people for no reason.
  7. Boy that's the truth. 3.5 yds per pass attempt and under 100 yds vs a team giving up 7 and 219 on the season. He's awful and while there are worse teams in the league, I haven't seen one more gutless than San Fran. What an embarrassment they've become.
  8. Sanchez will be elsewhere and Foles will be the starter as he should be. Sanchez is exactly what he's always been: a guy who throws as many INT as TD and loses as many games as he wins. As an experienced vet who had "a great training camp", was "finally in an offense that suits his talents" with " the most talent around him he's ever had" he's thrown 12 TD and 10 INT to go with 7 fumbles and has a 3-4 record. Foles, coming in green as a backup, playing last year with a defense that was worse than this years, has gone 46/17 w 16 fumbles (8 in 2012) with a 15-9 record. Eagles fan who wasn't and still isn't sold on Foles, but anybody who thinks he has lost the job to Sanchez or that they'll bring in Chuckler is certifiable.

    Merry Christmas ?

    Let's see. You lead with how you've been "indoctrinated" and I ask who is indoctrinating you. Why wouldn't that merit discussion? As for your observation, I believe it to be bullshit. Maybe that's the discussion you're looking for.
  10. Chucking and ducking is pretty much all he's done so far. Hasn't worked out so good for Gordon or anyone for that matter.
  11. Probably borderline, but I'd rather have Luck throwing to a traffic cone than anybody reliant on Manziel's ability to get him the ball. Yes, Gordon is always a candidate to break that long gainer that makes everything look ok. I just don't see anything to indicate it's going to happen with Manziel completing 50% of his 8 yard passes. ETA: Now reporting Hilton is a maybe, so Moncrief might not be your best bet. Nobody else ?
  12. What nitwit didn't expect a response like this from lunatics? Not sure how you shame the laughingstock of the civilized world, or sanction someone with whom we have essentially no diplomatic or economic relations. There are certain people who, no matter how ridiculous their threats sound, you don't dismiss because of their level of crazy. That pretty much defines the leadership of North Korea. It was insipid to promote this pic and not expect backlash.

    Whatever you celebrate, I wish you and yours peace and joy during the season and throughout the year.

    Merry Christmas ?

    Who the hell is "indoctrinating" you people? To say "merry Christmas" without knowing the belief system of the person you're speaking to isn't the most egregious offense you could ever commit. Keeping in mind that not everyone shares your belief system isn't the toughest thing to do either. This topic is the star on the top of the fake outrage tree.
  15. How could this be a conundrum? If you have a viable WR with an NFL QB, that has to be your option. Gordon doesn't.

    Cutler Benched, Clausen to Start

    It certainly does, as any aspect of strategy in the use of those moves is eliminated. The very fact that a player would not have to think ahead and parcel out those moves over the course of the season reduces strategy and increases chance.

    Cutler Benched, Clausen to Start

    Been in a league with a transaction limit for 20 years. Works just fine. People are always debating the luck vs skill aspect. Having the ability to make unlimited moves just adds more luck to the equation.
  18. In all likelihood they're the same bunch of insufferable twats.

    Or you can go with the rule as it stands and be a man about it like Fearsome.

    Matters not. It's the thought that counts. Of course, by praising it, you do realize that I've stolen it for use elsewhere. The gift that keeps on giving.

    This is undoubtedly the finest post this bored has seen in a long, long time. Kudos.

    Is fantasy football worth it?

    If make believe football actually causes you agita, takes away time from your wife and kids, and affects your job performance, the answer is pretty clear. You would be an imbecile to continue unless you place the value of make believe football above your health, family and career.
