I have a faint memory of listening to a draft podcast in the lead up to him being number 1 when Merril Hoge was talking about how he wasn't very good and people acted like he was crazy.
In fact I just found this clip of him saying the same thing on another show
Meh, it's just another example of the kidification of the NFL. I noticed at the draft when Goodell came out and everyone was booing and he stood there saying "bring it on" or something, it reminded me of McMahon in the WWE.
It is what it is. I'm old and am no longer the demographic they're aiming for. The only ones pitching to me are the erectile dysfunction pills they're always hawking during the ad breaks
Tell you what stood out to me. When they showed the Bills FG, for a second I was like "hey, that's a modern style of kicking for back then", then I heard the announcer say Gogolak's name and realized why
I am excited about seeing this guy. He looks good on film and also looks like a football player. An old school player. You can imagine this guy on the 85 Bears.
Not sure if this has been posted in this thread but I just stumbled across it. Howard and Jeremy crying the day after Buffalo drafted Josh. It's great!
You can see why Stefanski looked pissed when they announced the pick. Clearly an owner order, and as soon as the Browns lose a few games you know the talk of Deion becoming their new HC will start.
I'd be amazed if that doesn't end up a disaster for them. If he doesn't start the season the chants for him will begin as soon as the starter has a bad game. If he does play well he'll be demanding more money. If he plays and plays badly Deion will say it's because they're not using him the right way. Urgh, definitely a circus waiting to happen
I like Beane a lot and see his point but when he says "people were saying this last offseason" he fails to remember he went out and panic traded for Cooper when he realised the WR room needed help
