You really think teams are supposed to publicly disclose all of their potential negotiating points, and not employ any misdirection at all? I get as annoyed with sports reporters as anyone, but not for this.
Good for Flash. Always liked that dude. That TD celebration of his right after he and his wife lost their premature infant was one of the most emotional moments I’ve ever seen onfield in any sport.
Actually, he’s the ideal spokesperson for Papa John’s. He’s the personification of that “pizza,” cardboard, soulless, bland, over-marketed, and most of the country thinks it’s just fine, for some f’ing reason.
I’m with you. That “Golly gosh golly jee” southern hick BS, and that helicopter parent crap Archie pulled with the little goober brother’s draft. Can’t stand any of them. Well, Eli gets a pass for being the Pats Slayer, but that’s it.
You don’t think Beane coming out and publicly saying, “Yup, we’re moving into the top 5, no matter what” will have any bearing on what teams then ask from him?
You think if he put his neck out there like that, teams would reward him for his honesty and not give him a jobbing to end all jobbings?
ok.
I don't think anybody is comfortable with where the team is at right now. I, like many others, was thrilled the playoff drought ended. Not because "OMG NOW WE'RE GOOD!" but because the distraction of that drought narrative is gone, and now the focus can be getting back to the playoffs, getting back consistently, and advancing more often than not.
You must be new here. The fact that the thread has anything to do with any football player is pretty good for this group during an early offseason weekend.
