I'm doubting any merch will be made this season, butbim with you- if I see any, I'm grabbing it purely for my own amusement.

I think they already announced merchandise will go on sale within the next few weeks around the first preseason game so there's hope yet for the greatest potential t-shirt ever

Quote from: Scotty on 23 July 2020, 13:48:21

I for one will proudly (and ironically) buy the shit out of t-shirts that say "Go Football Team" on them and I hope they keep the name forever.

Go Football Team generated a number of chuckles in the office today. Much appreciated.

Kansas City Chiefs’ Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is the first NFL player to opt out of the season, saying Friday that he doesn't want to risk transmitting the virus just “to play the sport that I love.”

Well, the Jets pulled it off. They got Seattle to hand over 2 firsts, a third and a safety for Adams and a fourth. That seems way too much for a safety that will be expecting $15M a year soon.

Not coincidentally, he’s the only MD on an NFL roster.

That is some Pats level draft pick wizardry by the Jets. Or Seattle is just idiots.

A combination of both, most likely.

Sartris · « **Reply #157 on:** 26 July 2020, 10:25:46 »

I usually fault the team getting the player for overpaying. The Seahawks either believe they were a piece away from a title shot or are desperate to wedge open a closing window. Wizardry is usually just good scouting and understanding a player’s value in your system (admittedly this is a rare quality)

At least Herschel Walker type trades aren’t allowed any more

Off Fournette goes! Where will he end up?

Øystein · « **Reply #160 on:** 02 September 2020, 23:57:48 »

And the player I hope gets lots of playtime is now at the Panthers..... %D

Kaare Vedvik has been waived by the Bills and picked up by the Panthers, and been training punting and kicking (including FGs).

Hopefully he'll do allright there :D

Looks like the Tampa Brady's.

If he gets lucky, he could be the second best European kicker ever.

If he could over his real game yips (anxiety/nervousness) he might turn into a decent NFL kicker. From I hear and see he looks great in practice, but when it comes to a real game he's not as good.

Yepp, so hopefully he's learned a lot in his year since his bad results last year.

Øystein · « **Reply #164 on:** 05 September 2020, 15:14:11 »

Crap, Vedvik was cut from the Panthers.

Guess it's back to rooting for the Pats :(

ANS Kamas P81 · « **Reply #165 on:** 10 September 2020, 22:04:12 »

Well, if the Chiefs keep playing like this it's going to be tricky to call who they take on in the Superbowl. Solid play, LOTS of offense options, and another hot-stuff rookie in Edwards-Helaire. My mother remains pleased with the football gods.

Øystein · « **Reply #166 on:** 13 September 2020, 15:20:46 »

Nice, two rushing touchdowns for Cam Newton today.

monbvol · « **Reply #167 on:** 13 September 2020, 16:21:00 »

I'll admit I expected the games to look a fair bit uglier/less polished than they did today but I am pleasantly surprised at how well all the games I watched looked.

Seattle/Atlanta both looked pretty tired by the end though but even then it was a better game than I had expected.

Sartris · « **Reply #168 on:** 13 September 2020, 17:04:26 »

bill and cam should win that division. will probably come down to what the bills and pats do head to head

meanwhile i can report from watching the game that aaron rogers is indeed back to regularly doing aaron rogers things. there were four throws in that game that were absolutely filthy

Watching Josh Allen is the most entertaining way to watch American football.

I'm a Lions fan, so things like football leagues and championships and "cultures of winning" are irrelevant and meaningless in many, many ways.

But I'm still glad football's back.

DEZOAT · « **Reply #173 on:** 16 September 2020, 04:06:08 »

:P Hey rebs we have the same old Lions and yes NFL is back. We shall see how long it last.

As a Lions fan, the best thing I've read so far is this WSJ title: The Year 2020 Is Already Sideways. So Let’s Just Pick the Detroit Lions to Win the Super Bowl

I can't see behind the paywall, but the title made me laugh. I'm not sure the Lions winning the Super Bowl would be the strangest thing to happen this year...

Sartris · « **Reply #175 on:** 16 September 2020, 07:26:45 »

you're right. that would be the jets

Looking at tonight's match-up, I'm glad there's hockey on I can watch instead!

ANS Kamas P81 · « **Reply #177 on:** 17 September 2020, 12:05:40 »

Stupid NFL network, we don't get it here. No Thursday Night Football for me.

Fat Guy · « **Reply #178 on:** 17 September 2020, 12:36:21 »

Considering who's playing tonight, that may be a good thing!

Øystein · « **Reply #179 on:** 17 September 2020, 12:55:06 »

Being in the time zone I am I can't watch the late games :)

But we get, what, 5 games a week here. Monday Night, Thursday Night, and 3 on Sundays.

I tend to watch the first two (or most of the second anyways) on sundays.
