    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    I thought all the Cowboys fans go on and on about how Stephen has locked his senile old man up in the attic and makes all the personnel decisions? Elliott isn't a bad pick, just not sure he's a good one, given what they've spent and how easily you can seem to find guys.

    Elliott had better be Adrian Peterson reincarnated to warrant that pick. Then again, the Dallas O-Line should make him look great right off the bat.

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    I thought as soon as the first movie came out, Vaughn was like "If I make a sequel, I can always say Firth was shot in his bulletproof eyeglasses, not killed, and put him in an advisory role." Which while dumb, works for me - Galahad was so over-competent that the only way they could have...

    Err, I am legitimately confused here. I thought the Kaepernick deal was extremely team friendly as is - the 49ers can cut him in any year with no real penalty. So Kaepernick isn't going to sign a multi-year extension with the Broncos just to guarantee _this year's_ 49ers' salary? Does he not...

    Just so we're clear, the Pro Bowl is such a joke that even thecoachesare now claiming illness to get out of it, as Mike McCarthy of the Packers is backing out on the NFC side. Football is just so violent, and the season is so short (only 16 real games + some portion of a pre-season game) that...

    I think it's an apt summary of the season that this Super Bowl is between a team with one of the greatest QBs ever, and the other features Ted Ginn Jr., and I'm heavily leaning for the Ted Ginn Jr. team.

    Yeah, I suspect I'll be posting here before you. But to the point: There is no _single_ issue with the Browns. Playing in one of the roughest divisions in football, bad luck/analysis with drafts, nearly zero recent success so they have to overpay for free agents, constantly swapping coaches...

    As a generic modern "spy" movie it's about a 7 - nothing exceptionally bad or good about it. As a James Bond movie, this is Star Trek: Into Darkness all over again, a sad rehash that does nothing better (or even as well as) the original movies, with a backstory that's downright ludicrous...

    Bill Simmons leaving ESPN.

    What's weird is in this Friday's Grantland NFL podcast, they still thought they were coming back to work next week. So ESPN didn't bother mentioning it to any minions until they were out the door. (You'd think Barnwell at least would rate better than that.) Anyway, between ESPN and this, and...

    I wouldn't count the Seahawks out of this season yet. While the 5th seed seems like a lock to go to whomever gets 2nd place in the NFC South (who saw that coming before the season?), the 6th seed is wide open between the Seahawks, Vikings, and Eagles/Giants(/maybe even Cowboys if Romo gets...

    Dude, don't taunt the football gods that way. Even if everyone stays healthy, I say the Pack loses @Broncos, @Vikings, and @Cardinals, the last locking up #1 seed for the Cardinals. And given how the season is going, I wouldn't assume everyone (that isn't already hurt) stays healthy with the...

    It's less optimism than the simple fact that the NFC will have two wildcards. It sure looks like we can rule the North and the South out, and I think nearly everyone would be shocked if the Redskins or 49ers won one. So pick the two healthiest players next year out of Odell Beckham, Carson...

    You can't legally break a contract that way, but teams generally do release the player, without even going after the prorated portion of the signing bonus the players are legally obligated to return. That said, if all these former 49ers suddenly show up on teams next year, I suspect the...
