Not just regarding football, but God damn has Cohen been through some shit in the last year. His twin brother was found dead just over a year ago (May 9th, 2021) after accidentally killing himself (electrocution after climbing power equipment) after fleeing a car accident. Then this April his younger brother died in a car accident; I don't know all of the details there, but prior to that he had actually been paralyzed after getting shot in the head (he was dealing crack and got shot as retaliation for shooting someone else.)

Yeah he also talks about suicide and shit, so that's not good. Think the last RB I saw with an ACL tear followed by an Achilles rupture was out almost three years total, but I can't remember his name.

You sure that wasn't Klay Thompson?

Stolen from Wikipedia because I'm lazy:
He sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals and missed the entirety of the 2019–20 season. Thompson then suffered a torn achilles tendon while recovering from his knee injury and missed the entire 2020–21 season as well. Thompson returned to play in January 2022, after missing nearly 31 months.

Nah, I barely watch the NBA

It was Vick Ballard I was thinking of. He wasn't as good starting out as Tarik though.

Tears ACL playing one game in 2012, tears Achilles during practice in 2013, comes back for 2014 preseason, looked good for a while but pulled a hamstring, comes back for 2015 preseason, same shit. Game over. Guy's leg never worked right again.

Sad Article

It would appear that living legend Ryan Fitzpatrick is retiring. This is good news for Baker Mayfield, Jimmy G, and other mediocre QBs looking to get a spot on a team

Damn, he was well on his way to losing against every team in the NFL as a starting QB. He got to 28.

Hope he gets into the HoF, honestly. There hasn't been a QB like him, uh...ever.

New Deal for Cupp

Idk how the Rams are planning on affording all of this but once this window is over, they might be worse than Jacksonville

Makes me think they ain't payin' OBJ. There's no way they got the money for him.

Also keep in mind pill poppin' Payton retired too so I have no idea what the Saints are going to look like this upcoming season.

OC Pete Carmichael is still in place, so the offense will probably not look too different from where it was last year, since the team will probably be running the offense through him. People forget that Carmichael was coach for the Saints that year Payton was suspended because of bounty gate, and the teams offense played at the same elite level it always had (granted, with Drew Brees under center), despite the Saints having one of the historically worst defenses in NFL history.

There was a blurb a couple months ago about him not being in a team pic or something like that.

Carr: Kaepernick would be 'great' fit with Raiders+​

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said he would welcome Colin Kaepernick with open arms after the free-agent passer worked out for the club May 25.

"I don't want to speak for everybody in that kind of sense, I don't want someone mad at me for saying, 'I think it would be great,' but I know him and I would get along great," Carr said Tuesday, according to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez.

"I know we have in the past, and I think we would again. I think, for the most part, I think he'd get along great with our guys."


Kaepernick, who started kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice, hasn't appeared in an NFL game since playing for the San Francisco 49ers during the 2016 season.

The 34-year-old put on a show soon after entering the league as a second-round pick in 2011. The Nevada product, who owns a 28-30 record as a starter, helped the 49ers reach Super Bowl XLVII in his second pro campaign before falling to the Baltimore Ravens.

Kaepernick tossed 72 touchdowns against 30 interceptions to go along with 2,300 yards and 13 scores on the ground across six seasons in San Francisco.

"I remember our days back then, and just watching him and what he did in college and getting to know him and talking to him on the phone," added Carr, whom the Raiders drafted in 2014. "I've told you guys, I've loved my time with him. I think he's a great guy. He's been great to be around. I've enjoyed being around him, talking with him, competing against him."

The Raiders' quarterback depth chart is led by Carr, Jarrett Stidham, and Nick Mullens.

Easy to virtue signal when you know the guy can't beat you out. This whole thing with the Raiders seems like a faux atonement after the Gruden debacle.

Everyone pushing this bullshit is so full of it. Mike Florio won't stop singing his praises yet oddly enough, when afro man was actually playing, Florio fucking hated him as a QB. Its all virtue signaling bullshit

Of course. It's a win/win situation for the both of them because the Raiders get to look good and Kaep gets to get his name in the media again to pretend like he's still relevant.

No team will ever touch him because he's not starter quality and if you didn't start him you'd get accused of being racist. He won't work for QB2 salary either. I think most people who actually watch football have figured this out.
