Hearing that Rams DT Michael Brockers wants a long-term deal, could get moved. Multiple teams possibly involved, Lions, Cowboys, Texans.
I am certain this is related to the NFL in some way (future cheerleaders?), but clearly its news you can use.

Mike Pettine says the Browns aren't going to "over-prioritize the quarterback position" (apparently) http://wp.me/p14QSB-9LqB
They certainly live the philosophy.
Dear God those uniforms are ugly.
They might even just go without a QB. They're counting on the flying wedge.

Per @ProFootballTalk former Packers and current Bucs C Evan Dietrich-Smith has changed his name to Evan Smith: http://tinyurl.com/ouzao5v
If its true, that just leaves us with Electronic Data Systems.
If you're gonna go to all that trouble, he should have changed it to Evan Danger Smith.
This is simply anti-fun.

No one seems to mention Jimmy Garroppolo played in exact same offense in college as Bryce Petty and RG3, as his coaches came from Baylor

andQuote:
“That side of my brain’s been sort of asleep for a while,” Pettine said, via Cleveland.com. “It’s been great. I feel very rejuvenated as a coach to be a part of it.”
The quotes aren't determinative, but I think the Browns are on their way to screwing up their offense again. The likeliest explantation os Pettine's quotes are that they are going to run the ball early and often. Given their receiving corps, this makes some sense, but isn't a long term successful strategy for an offense today. Its a sign of capitulation to the failure of the front office on the Offensive side of the ball. Its a good way to go 8-8 and 9-7 and have that be your ceiling.Quote:
“We just don’t want to put our quarterback in situations where the percentages aren’t there,” Pettine said. “We don’t want to be in third-and-long and second-and-long, where the quarterback is getting hit a lot. When a quarterback is upright and can get through his reads quick and get the ball out of his hands he’s a lot better.”
I am not close and don't know Pettine, so he might know this. But I think he's a Rex Ryan guy, no? So I suspect he doesn't know this.
Justin Smith is retiring.
San Fran is about to go back to acquiring high first round picks to load up for their next run. Wow, what a depressing offseason for 9er fans.

The extension #Dolphins gave QB Ryan Tannehill is 4 years for $77M, per source ($19.25M per year). $45M in guarantees, $25M fully guaranteed
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 10m10 minutes ago
So, Ryan Tannehill gets $19.25M per year in new money on his extension. A number that’ll be scrutinized for Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, etc.
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 34m34 minutes ago
Had a chance to get a gander at the details of Tannehill deal and write up my thoughts for @cbssports. Very low risk buy for the Dolphins...
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 33m33 minutes ago
Basically in exchange for $3.2M more than he would've earned from 15-16, as making inj guar now full guar get the right to 4 more prime yrs
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 30m30 minutes ago
It's 3deals in 1. RT now gets $21.5M over 15-16 vd. $18.3M was set to make. MIA get $15M option for 17 (could be $10M below exclus franch #)
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 29m29 minutes ago
Then then final 3 years are worth a vast majority of the max of $77M in new $. $57M comes those 3yrs ($19M/yr) but all must be earned...
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 28m28 minutes ago
Dolphins could walk from the deal after 2yrs for all intents and purposes if need be. Bulk of money on pay-as-you go basis from 2018-20)
Twitter = Newspeak. It is a cancer. But due to the newsfeed advantage, it will never go away (conceptually). Plus, it's important to know what your favorite celebrity had for breakfast.
Its a very good match for a phone interface. So its immediately mobile and usable unlike a lot of blog interfaces. Its basically a newswire for the Internet. Some write for it better than others. Some news fits better than others.
There are alternatives in between a blog and Twitter. Facebook, medium.com and Tumblr are all trying to occupy that space, but none are as easy to use from a phone.
Well the Vimeo of 1920's football didn't work out, but you can find that link and other old time tales in this story of how the Nation's moral character was in jeopardy when a pro football team from New England was playing fast and loose with NFL rules.

The Jets have gone 8 straight years with below-average passing DVOA rating. Think that's bad? Bears went SIXTEEN years from 1997-2012.
Reading an article about the Skins picking up the 5th year, $16M option on RG3, and saw something that surprised me
I thought the 5th year option was fully guaranteed (injury and skill) when it was exercised.Quote:
So they rolled the dice with $16 million for 2016 in order to avoid having to pay roughly $20 million or more, if Griffin becomes the guy in 2015 that he was in 2012. And if he stinks, the smart move will be to yank him from the field, ensconce him in bubble wrap, and then cut him in the offseason before that $16 million becomes fully guaranteed next March.
