  1. He is 25. Just wait till CJ Mosley gets paiiid. What's going on with CJ Mosley? You guys gonna sign Mark Ingram?
  2. Haven't seen one "expert" do their job yet and figure out how many games he can play to not be expansion eligible vs just burning a year on the ELC. If I had to guess he plays the same amount of games as Boeser since he could have been exposed to Las Vegas IIRC. But apparently literally NOBODY knows.
  3. I think the game is in Vancouver since the Canucks were in Ottawa earlier at the peak of EP40 mania. But I agree that would be a nice spot for him. Let him heal and rest up. Get with the trainers. Maybe get a full practice in with the boys before he jumps in the fray. Quinton Hughes watch is officially on after tonight.
  4. Quinn Hughes is the only reason left to watch this team the rest of the season. Adding him could re-invigorate EP 40 and Brockstar.
  5. He also likes that Derek Carr is more milque toast than Big Ben and won't call him out. Plus he gets to live in Las Vegas with no state tax so he maximizes his money. Eagles are potentially a dark horse team to land L. Bell and have cleared enough cap space to make him a reasonably competitive offer. As soon as he signs the other RBs should start going off the market. Wonder who he signs with Tampa, Jets, Eagles, Colts? Other?
  6. This is going to be fun to watch. Gruden and Antonio Brown 2 big egos potentially clashing in Sin City? Get your popcorn ready. Decent return for the Steelers considering how much their hands were tied with everyone knowing if they had to trade him before his bonus was due in a few days. Get back a 3rd and 5th in this year's draft. Also Antonio Brown gets a new contract to become the NFL's highest paid WR once again and with more guaranteed money. If am Julio Jones I am pissed. He deserves a new deal,but just because he isn't a drama queen he doesn't get it. Squeaky wheel gets greased I guess. Good luck Mr. Big Chest.
  7. Only thing that matters these last chunk of games is how Quinn Hughes plays.

     

    Hopefully he can get in the lineup this week. Maybe give him an extra day or two to rest his foot first .

      Max is 10 if he plays on Wednesday. Depending when he signs I bet he plays that last 9 games.

      I hope he keeps it simple. I'd rather him start off the right way, by being defensively responsible. Maybe getting shots on net. But helping the power play. 

      I don't want to see undue pressure on him. Just steady and improving.

      @Ghostsof1915 There is some con fusion around how many games he can play before being expansion draft eligible vs how many games to burn a year on his ELC.

       

      Some conflicting reports. John Shannon,whose job it is to know these things, said he didn't have a clue.

       

      Kept talking about how he would call Pettersson "Peter son" now that he used that pronounciation in his Audi ad and because he drives an Audi.

       

      What a hack. The HNIC in Canada clowns were talking about how the Canucks missed Gudbranson and his leadership last night.

       

      I miss when TSN had the hockey and draft rights.

       

      Only good thing about Sportsnet/CBC/City tv is they have so many channels to you can watch every playoff game even the ones involving American teams.

  8. I wouldn't worry about Gruden not getting another NFL gig. He has broadcasting to pass the time and a 100 million in the bank regardless. "They can negotiate but not agree" but yeah really starting Monday there should be some leaks of so and so expected to sign with which team. Maybe a couple more surprise cuts after Wednesday and a trade or two when the new league year officially opens on Wednesday. I think the frenzy of transactions is better on one day instead of stuff leaking out over a period of days. Not as fun imo. Nick Foles to the Jags by all accounts is the only done deal so far, barring something unforseen. Jags have been cutting guys to make cap space to sign Foles to a contract that is going to be north of 15 million a year.
  9. Not many will. In fact the only redeeming quality of Buffalo is that it is not too long of a drive from Toronto. Then again, NFL players will go there but only if they overpay them.
  10. @Sabre4life @SabreFan1 Antonio Brown's reaction when he was told he is finally getting traded: Antonio Brown's reaction when his agent told him he is getting traded to the Bills:
  11. 40 was slow. Seems like a Brent Grimes type. Average athlete but high football IQ and not afraid to challenge big wide receivers. Didn't realize it was that bad. Holy crap! Thought they were exaggerating when they kept saying he needs to trade his barbells for a Yoga mat. Lol. He is raw AF though still. Coach him up. At worst he just runs slants and go routes his rookie year then. Maybe more Cordarrelle Patterson/Beeshad Perriman than Josh Gordon to begin with... Some team will still draft him in the 1st round though. As long as he is not on the juice....
  12. You need to talk to an adult you trust. Could be a counsellor. Maybe a football coach even. Start there. There are hotlines out there to call if you have a crisis, are in need, or just need someone non-judgemental to talk with. Here is something to start with. I am sorry I am not much help in this issue. But you if you need to talk my PM's are always open. http://www.crisisservicescanada.ca
  13. DE Montez Sweat ran a 4.42 at 260 pounds! More impressive than Isabella's 4.31 who is a track guy. Devin White LB from LSU ran 4.42 @Pears at 240 pounds! Incredible coaching and technique work combined with great athletes equals elite historical testing numbers. Last day is my favorite. DBs tomorrow. Corner backs are traditionally the best athletes on a football team. Have to have an amazing combo of speed and quickness. Let's see how many guys can have a 40 time 4.40 or lower.
  14. How about Andy Isabella though? Ran a 4.31 40-yard dash, the best so far among combine participants. Pretty fly for a white guy...
  15. Steve Smith sounded jealous. (Short man syndrome) said he had concerns he was too big and not fluid enough to run routes and adjust to balls. He also said he didn't think he could get off press. Lol. DK is Josh Gordon 2.0 without the off field issues. Height,weight, and speed Adonis. He is the like the 99 overall Madden player you make with max size and all the sliders up.
  16. I don't how much of the combine anybody here watches or pays attention to... But anybody that is interested, this is a good chart to follow along to get an idea of what are considered good testing numbers for each position in all the main drills.

      Uncle Laleet. Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest he made that.

      What a joke. Must be one of them HFboards loonies.

      What’s hilarious is that they think Aquilini is even gonna bother wasting his time over a $5000 campaign. 

  17. Elijah Holyfield had a terrible 40 time and workout. He lost some money today. Needs to have a better performance at his pro day or he is going to drop to day 3 of the draft. Miles Sanders and Mike Weber were very impressive. Great times and both have thick ideal builds for an RB. Justice Hill nice back to have in a rotation. 4.40 40 flat fastest RB at the combine. 40 inch vertical. Best 10 yard split as well. If he gets in space on a screen he can hit the turbo and go all the way.
  18. Hakeem Butler is going to be unstoppable on 50/50 balls and in the redzone. Inspector gadget arms at 35 inches.
  19. He sucked so bad on MNF he probably figured why not try to pad his stats a little. Apparently he wants to get into coaching.
  20. Hargreaves looks like a bust so far though.
  21. I don't think he runs. He bulked up for the combine they are saying. Playing weight is more around 195. Says he won't throw either. Looks like only interested in interviewing with teams. I also was mad Lamar Jackson didn't run a 40 at the combine or his pro day.
  22. Manziel banned from the CFL. Going to either AAF or XFL likely now. What kind of quality of player will come to Canada when they have so many options in the states coming out now. Arena League, Indoor Football League, XFL, AAF. CFL should be worried.
  23. LeBron James with the fade-away corner 3 buzzer-beater. Does the Lakeshow make the playoffs. LeBron has "activated".
  24. Eagles history shows they usually pick DL in the 1at round though. Rumor is they are going to let Darby walk and go with the same young guys that played vs the Saints in the playoffs. That would be a mistake. Imo. You can never have too many good CBs. Xavien Howard might be on the block with the Dolphins so that is one trade possibly. Not manu good CBs in free agency looks like. Eagles need more speed overall at every position though I think.
