As of right now imo it looks like Burrow's career is going down the same route Dan Mario's did post 86.

Call me a boomer but I found this funny, mostly because A.I in the NBA world is a walking HOF player, but also giant media meme.
Dallas in recent years is a serial overperformer or bucket shitter when it comes to regular season games. Especially after injury ridden seasons (2015, 4-12, to 13-3. 2020, 6-10, to 12-5 for 3 years). Also, Dak comes back for his first regular season game back from injury with new coaching staff. I have this team as a dark horse going in, especially if the CBs and OL take a leap and stay healthy.
The teams offensive window is closing (Kittle is 32, McCaffrey is 28, Williams is 36, new talent isn't there imo) and I can see this contract being a nice benefit in the next 2-4 years when they decide to blow up the roster. Purdy's ceiling has yet to be reached, and hopefully its only up from here. It's a great investment.
Absolutely horrifying, I'd rather see him go down the Matt Stafford route.
Nobody should go down that path career-wise, and it is the prime example of why loyalty kills.
Even if I wasn't alive, it's just so crazy to look through. The equivalent to a NFL heroic tragedy.

It seems just plain retarded for teams to not give out reasonable contracts to guys in this situation. Like the borderline good/great players who still have plenty of career ahead of them and aren't trying to break the money ceiling at their position . The salary cap, much like the stock market, only goes up, and a big contract now becomes a fucking bargain 2-3 years later. I kinda get it when someone is trying to get their 3rd or 4th contract, or has a history of injuries, because you're anticipating a decline, but not paying guys like Purdy or Ja'Marr Chase at the first opportunity leads into Ceedee Lamb situations last year. The only thing Jerruh accomplished out of that was looking like a massive retard while Ceedee got more in his bag.
As long as you don't go through Brett Favre route. He was a nigger for unretiring and forcing his way to the Jets, and became a double nigger for unretiring again to sign with the Vikings. As God deemed I deserved justice, he threw away their run the first year and was fucking awful the next year.

Sirianni gets extended
He's better than your coach:
The league is also set to ban the brotherly shove this week because every other team in the league is too soft to stop it and too untalented to run it.
What happens when Josh Allen loses in overtime in the Divisional Round of the playoffs? They change the overtime rules which have been controversial for decades.
What happens when Josh Allen loses an AFC Championship over a 1st Down spot? They change how they measure downs which has been called for ever since tennis started using an optical tracking system more than a decade ago.
What happens when Jalen Hurts wins a Super Bowl using both his arms and his legs proving he's the duel threat quarterback everyone thinks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are? They remove one of his most potent weapons.
How is the NFL going to change the game in the coming season when the Bills lose in the playoffs this season?
He's better than your coach:
- Sirianni's 48-20 regular-season record in four seasons, 54-23 including playoffs, gives him the second-most wins in NFL history for a coach in his first four seasons (George Seifert, San Francisco).
- Sirianni has the third-highest winning percentage (.706) of the Super Bowl era in the regular season behind Hall of Famers John Madden and George Allen (min. 50 games).
- He is the first coach in NFL history to earn four playoff appearances, two conference titles, and a Super Bowl within his first four seasons as head coach.
- Sirianni is the third head coach to advance to multiple Super Bowls and win one within his first four seasons.

The fact the Goodell is allowing a vote. He'd table it again if he didn't have the votes. Insiders say it's going to be a ban on all pushing, so no more o-linemen slamming into RBs at the end of plays either.

You're looking at this the wrong way. Perspective! You see it as the league shifting the rules so the Bills can finally make it to the big game. I see it as the owners banding together under the banner of Harry Morris to alog Ralph!

When you're the greatest GM/coach in NFL history and you discover you have a findom fetish at 70. I guess a public humiliation one too.

Looks like Chip Kelly wants Jeanty to do the traditional stance rather than the stance that got him to the league.

The similarities and differences between Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll, both 73 year old coaches, over the last few years has been fascinating.
- Both stopped coaching their team after the 2023 season. Pete had two mediocre 9-8 seasons after a 7-10 campaign in 2021. Bill had a disastrous 4-13 2023 after a few mediocre seasons with a random wildcard appearance. But Pete got "promoted upstairs" to a ceremonial position in 2024 before making his exit and left with ownership and the community singing his praises. Bill got outright fired and Kraft threw him under the bus, immediately trying to take credit for the whole dynasty (or at least limit it to him and Brady).
- Both are nepotistic about bringing their sons onto their coaching staff. Bill gets a lot of attention for this. Pete not so much outside of hardcore Seahawks circles. I blame Pete never making a hiring decision as baffling and obviously dumb as making Matt Patricia (defensive guy) an offensive coordinator.
- Both have bizarrely poor coaching trees. Bill O'Brien and, by extension, Vrabel, are the only ones in Bill's tree to see any kind of success. Pete hardly has a coaching tree at all outside of Gus Bradley (ew) and Dan Quinn (previously ew, now he seems to be what the not-Redskins needed). Dave Canales might turn this in Pete's favor if he makes things work in Carolina.
- But Pete is still happily married to the mother of his children and coaching on a new NFL team, while Bill's twice-divorced (ok he never married the second woman but they were together for like 15 years or someshit) and now runs a college program amid strange behavior leading people to speculate that he's a victim of elder abuse.

Proposal to ban tush push in NFL fails by two votes, sources say. I am genuinely shocked. I assumed it was a foregone conclusion when it was first proposed even if it took some time to get enough owners on board. Word was Goodell didn't like it and I assumed 29 owners, and one cuck in Green Bay, would be behind it because it only hurt 2 teams.
I think the only thing that might surprise me more this season is if Dem Boys win a playoff game and we aren't even at training camp yet.

The falcons not letting the rams get a top 10 pick would be my surprise. Knew I should have been a steelers fan

Genuinely don't get the hate from the league itself. Other teams being salty I understand perfectly, but it's a play that actually gives a team identity and is notable enough to even have normies talking about the game in some way. No solid injury data to report, so what's the problem? Philly's a relatively large market team, that's been on a hot streak the past 5 years and has insanely marketable players like Saquon, DeJean, hell even Kelce's a big ambassador for the brand in retirement, so what gives?
I know as a philly sports fan there's a perception that everyone has it out for us, but even I usually just handwave that because on it's face it's ridiculous, the Sixers and Flyers just suck, nobody is responsible for their franchises' failures but ownership, and the Phillies and Eagles are at least perrenial contentenders. And yet it seems like the Eagles singularly get the most shit, from the media, the refs, and now the league I guess in trying to ban a play that they perceive as some lynchpin to our unearned success (It's not, even if it did get banned, having 2 stud wideouts, Saquon, and a lights out defense is the secret sauce).

Has there been anyone other than Gronkowski from the Patriots dynasty that made it out unscathed? It is like there was faustian bargain made for that team to dominate for nearly twenty years. All of them now have to suffer by having their personal lives fall into ruin.
Somewhat shocking considering his age, but also not shocking considering what has come out about his substance abuse issues over the last few years. I guess this was bound to happen sooner than later.
Maybe now the Colts will have a chance to be a successful franchise again.

Towards the end? Edelman's doing all right. If we're including the entire list of stars on that team during that era there's more who came out unscathed than not.
Lifetime hobby of booze and pills = 65 year old man with the liver/kidneys of an 85 year old, and the booger sugar probably didn't help his heart too much.
And really, you can dog on him for the Colts' recent permanent mediocrity, but he got that franchise their only ring after 30 years in the wilderness post-Unitas and they would've had at least three more Super Bowl appearances if it weren't for the referenced hell trio in Foxborough.
