Urgh either I'm stupid or that shit is a total mindfeck. Does that mean if someone drafted twice in round one, they'd have less to pay each?!

It's confusing as feck. Obviously all teams need to work within their salary cap structure, I am not sure what happens when say team A does a trade with team B, and now has their own and team B's first round pick. Do the cap numbers change (not the total cap, but how much money they have for rookie players). I would think so, but I have no fecking idea. I don't dig into the salary cap detail that much just part of the game I never bothered following.

I get the general gist because it drives a lot of what teams do. But I got intrigued and now I wish I didn't!
 
Ramsey injured his knee. Initial thoughts is a small meniscus tear and that he should be back by training camp but if it's worse that would be some bad luck for the Jags.

Dante Fowler last year, now Ramsey.. And that's counting on Myles Jack to stay fit as well which I'm still not fully convinced of. They'll do well this year though if they keep their key players healthy. Promising QB, very good WR duo, strong RB and much improved defense...

Yeah. Looks like injuries could be their downfall though. They could be a surprisingly successful team this year if they keep fit.
 
Well the Washington Redskinned Robots might be less racist if the robots are indeed covered in a red skin.

We would have the:

New England Patribots
NY Giantbots
NY Jetbots
Pittsburgh Steelbots
Green Bay PackingBots
San Diego Chargers could still work if the robots are powered by batteries
Seattle Seabots
Denver Servos
Dallas Cowbots or Dallas Botboys

Not long before we're watching JJ Bot v Ben Robosberger, then.

He's already a robot imo. The way the fecker gets hits & then gets up like nothing happened is incredible.
 
Well if that's the logic then Tannehill is made of steel, Taylor is made of platinum, and ... Err, Smith / whoever the Jets QB is is so bad that they don't need to be jinxed.

Don't forget the Tampa Bay Bottaneers, the Houston Textbots, the Tennessee Titbots, the Atlanta Failbots, the Chicago Bearbots and of course the San Francisco fortybottlers!
 
Did anyone see Concussion though?

I know nowhere near enough about it but football feels like it's on borrowed time in its current state.

Been meaning to watch that.

It's a bit self defeating. Helmets etc are worn for protection for example but that's what causes people to be excessively violent. Also legal tackles has a very odd definition. Some tackles are legal but are crazy. thinking of the Mitchell tackle on Jones in Bengals Steelers
 
Apparently Talib was shot! Discharged from hospital, probably a police investigation to follow.
 
Although if you asked me which Bronco was most likely to be in a bar fight come shootout I'd have said him.

:lol: tbh I'm not surprised & it doesn't seem many people are either.
 
Is it just bad luck or do they really tend to go back to their hometowns with bad influences from their youth friends and stuff? I follow guys like JJ Watt, Brian Cushing, DeAndre Hopkins and OBJ on Instagram and they really seem to be laidback in the off-season, just chilling with their family and constantly working out. These guys are all millionaires, how hard can it be to stay out of trouble.. But then again if you look at how players like Pacman Jones behave, it's no wonder they're involved in situations like this so often.

I don't know about Cushing and Hopkins but JJ is basically the poster boy for hard work and doing things the right way, you can't expect all players to be like that.

Talib is a feckwit though, so it's not that surprising from him.

Lets be honest, some people you give them millions, they're only more likely to get into trouble.

Some people are just arseholes, some think their money/fame makes them above the law.

Yeah you're right about Watt, his work ethic is something else. And if Talib's on-field behaviour is anyting to go by, this news certainly doesn't surprise me :lol:

True enough, especially if you come from nothing.
