How in the name of Edward "Buckets" Hirsch is Jerry Freaking Jones in the Hall of Fame?

I would rather put OJ Simpson in there again that have Jerry in there.

If slapping the sponsor branding all over your place of business is all it takes, then Richard Petty and the Bad News Bears should be in there.

Your comment has what? to do with this threads Title? Sorry for my confusion pbmax.

I was watching in amazement as Jerry was herded around with other legit hall of famers during the Hall of Fame game Thursday Night.

I figured this all fit into a thread about preseason football.

Cutler coming back?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000825932/article/jay-cutlers-reps-dolphins-have-talked-about-contract



Jay Cutler's expected ride off into the broadcast booth might not happen so soon.

With Ryan Tannehill's status seriously in question, the Miami Dolphins and Cutler's representation have discussed a potential deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources informed. Nothing has been agreed upon, but Cutler is Miami's top choice, Rapoport added.

[Joemailman]

He's baaaaaack.

So ends this lesson on how the world works ;)

Between Tannehill, Cutler and Matt Moore, Dolphins will have 32 million of cap space allocated to their QB's.

Maybe down the road they can trade one to the Browns along with a second round pick.

And if you put all three on the field at the same time, they still wouldn't match what Rodgers alone can do. For less money.

Would you need new rules for 3 Men At A Quarterback or would you frankenstein them?

Signed for $10 Million$ for one year. WOW !

[GBkrzygrl]

Thoughts about the Eagles/Packers game: I thought the first team looked really rusty and out of sync initially but as the game wore on the got more in rhythm. Not good to see that fumble by Montgomery. He's got to clean that up.

Great run back for a TD by Davis. Looks like he making a strong bid for PR job.

Good to see the defense hitting hard and taking the ball away. So that's what they're supposed to do.

I know a lot of people have been down on Barclay but I was really sorry to see him go down like that. Guy cannot catch a break.

I thought Vogel's punting was ok. Didn't see the whole game so I don't know if Crosby kicked any FGs.

All in all it was a good place to start.

That Seahags O Line was bad before the injury. They were hoping for marginal improvement (the new Center is good plus a couple reinforcements) but most everyone expected same as last year production.

Lions lost their second-best pass-rushing defensive end, Kerry Hyder. Also I think they lost one of their tackles - not the kid from OSU last year, Taylor Decker (he's already out). Another guy.

Trubiski may look like the real deal, but doesn't that only make it sweeter when da Bears fuck him up somehow?

Julian Edelman with a non-contact knee injury tonight. He limped off the field, but then was carted off to the locker room. Right after the play he grabbed the back of his knee.

I never like to root for injuries to the other team, but is it completely wrong to feel Schadenfreude at a time like this?

Yeah. Reports are a torn ACL. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/25/reports-patriots-believe-julian-edelman-tore-his-acl/

[Teamcheez1]

They can trade McCaffrey to New England for another draft pick next year.

[Bretsky]

Not sure if that is funny or not; GB has mucho talent at WR. Part of the reason I would entertain trying to get some value for the overpaid Randall Cobb ahead of not renewing his next deal

Your dream girl Hoody has already traded away a 1 this year for a WR. I'd expect them to wait for final cutdowns and make a grab for someone. Some tea is going to be pissed they couldn't get their guy to the PS

Hoody Genius and Hoody Genius Jr will still have a top 3 scoring offense w/o Edelman. That offense is loaded with talent. Hovan's statistics just nearly doubled with Edelman out

[Bretsky]

Jared Goff, my Rams........looks like he's really developed this year with the new coach

Yeah he looks awesome.

right after I posted that he threw a terrible INT

That does don't last long.

Fumble by Goff for D TD and then pick off a duck throw. They haven't thrown a pass since.

I don't want to alarm anyone but the Bears showed actual life on offense with Mike Glennon for a time against Tennessee today. Then Meredith hurt his leg.

This has been your yearly Bears update.

That looks like a bad injury. His knee bends in a way that knees don't bend. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000835567/article/injuries-cameron-meredith-carted-off-with-knee-injury About the :30 mark if you want to see it.

[Joemailman]

Report on Meredith is torn ACL.

[pbmax]

Report on Meredith is torn ACL.

It was ugly live, ugly on the replay during the game and I don't want to look at the online replay you posted. It was just a direct shot of a man's knee bending the wrong way.

Didn't look catastrophic, but very very painful.

You don't think Ted values O linemen?

That was sarcastic call back to an old complaint about Ted and his drafting of O line talent.

Wait a sec, Bretsky...if Ragland was supposed to be the be-all and end-all of inside linebackers, why was he available for a fourth round pick when he himself was a second-round pick in 2016?

Datone has an injury (shoulder?) and they are expecting an injury settlement and release.

I bet he gained weight to be a DE again. Wonder if he wants to come back and backup?
