  1. Sorry, I wasn't confident he'd go in the first round haha.
  2. We have enough bad luck with the Canucks, we don't need more.
  3. I hope Jack falls to Seattle.
  4. Walter Payton...was such a rock as a RB. Share on Reddit
  5. Wheeling and dealing in the 2016 Draft.
  6. Good call by The Titans to protect their franchise QB.
  7. If I had a later 1st round pick and Jack is still on the board I'll take the risk.
  8. Did Don Cherry's tailor get exclusive rights in the NFL draft?
  9. Goodell getting the Bettman treatment.
  10. NFL draft is full of surprises!
  11. Great to see the folks in ND going nuts. What a year!

  13. Has there even been a time that the second round starts, the same day as the last round 1 game?

      This may be the first - I assume it's because there was a conflict on the 28th in Tampa...

      I thought so, but was corrected yesterday. Not the 1st time.

  14. This is going to be an interesting draft and July 1st. Players like Drouin, Hamonic, etc. are up for grabs. Grab your popcorn!

      I think Drouin might just be off the market.

      Still going to be an interesting offseason regardless. 

  15. Johnny Manziel following in the footsteps of greatness like Ryan Leaf. (CNN) A Texas grand jury has indicted free agent quarterback and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel on an assault charge, according to Dallas County court records. Manziel's former girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, accused the former NFL quarterback of restraining, hitting and threatening her during an alleged assault on January 30. She says in an affidavit that Manziel grabbed her by the hair and hit her, causing her to lose her hearing in one ear. Manziel, 23, has denied hitting Crowley. The indictment accuses Manziel of "intentionally and knowingly and recklessly (causing) bodily injury to" Crowley. The NFL also is investigating the incident. He could face a league-imposed suspension if he is found to have violated the personal conduct policy.
  16. Yeah innocent people in civil cases destroy their cell phones for no reason. The problem with civil court is it just needs probability. As I stated earlier it's going to have little to no effect on his long term reputation. He didn't hurt anyone, he didn't shoot anyone. He was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. As I said, serve the four games and carry on. Lord Bill could probably have a high school QB and he'd figure out an offence where he'd be effective. From wikipedia: Legal Burden of Proof. Preponderance of the evidence[edit] Preponderance of the evidence, also known as balance of probabilities is the standard required in most civil cases, and in family court determinations solely involving money, such as child support under the Child Support Standards Act. It is also the burden of proof to which the defendant must prove affirmative defenses or mitigating circumstances in civil or criminal court. In civil court, aggravating circumstances also only have to be proven by a preponderance of the evidence, as opposed to beyond reasonable doubt (as they do in criminal court). The standard is met if the proposition is more likely to be true than not true. The standard is satisfied if there is greater than fifty percent chance that the proposition is true. Lord Denning, in Miller v. Minister of Pensions,[8] described it simply as "more probable than not." Until 1970, this was also the standard used in juvenile court in the United States.[9] This is also the standard of proof used when determining eligibility of unemployment benefits for a former employee accused of losing the job through alleged misconduct. In most US states, the employer must prove this case with a preponderance of evidence.
  17. Just take the suspension and get it over with. It's a civil matter, so it's not "beyond a reasonable doubt". It hurts everyone when it just gets dragged out. I'm no Pats fan, but it will do little to nothing to damage his legacy. Constant court battles and appeals are just going to make lawyers rich. Besides football air pressure is trivial compared to NFL players with murder charges, suicides, and assaults. Brady can still go to Hollywood when he's done.
  18. New England fans cry foul in 3...2.....1....
  19. Now the 1983 draft was crazy deep for QB's. But Dan Marino was taken 27th overall in the first round. Does anyone remember Todd Blackledge? Ken O'Brien? Tony Eason? Sure everyone remembers Elway and Kelly. I don't get what the Eagles are doing? Shouldn't they be hoarding picks to rebuild the team?
  20. ???? Pull the trigger???? Benning has a gun to his head? Which handgun has the best trigger??????
