RoyBatty is alive Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Great job The NFL is shrewd, they have managed to stretch out the season where there is always something just around the corner. I never thought people would actually sit and watch the combine but they do. I walked into a sports bar last week and guys were actually watching practice, practice I tell you at the Senior Bowl and analyzing it. Edited February 6, 2019 by RoyBatty is alive 1

The Stadium Wall, where even an innocuous "offseason dates" thread incurs the wrath of ScottLaw...so angry! Edited February 7, 2019 by eball 2 1
