    Kansas City Chiefs General Thread

    Just saw this here. Posted something similar in the NFL news thread. Although rugby stars trying out for NFL teams is nothing new, previously most were real longshots. With this though it might be nice to see a trend. Not sure if I'm going to hold my breath however.

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    You know, the new kickoff rules might be an improvement. Roughly 90% of all kickoffs last year were touchbacks. 100% of the kickoffs in the Super Bowl were touchbacks. Now a touchback gives the receiving team the ball on the 30 rather than the 25 like previous years. Now teams will try to...

    MLB 2024 Season

    Now for something completely unrelated to anything discussed above, but probably just as relevant. Here is doubtless a good reason to risk your life going to the 'hood to watch a White Sox game in Chicago....

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    For all of you that are curious about the new "hybrid" kickoff rule for this season, it's simply borrowed from the XFL which nobody watches. See here:

    Justin Fields on Black QBs

    On the bright (!) side, maybe the Steelers will return to the glorious days of Kordell Stewart with Justin Fields playing the part.

    2024 NFL Draft

    You know, I'm really not big on any of these metrics. The 40 above is fine, I'm usually interested in the 3-cone, shuttles and 10 yard splits for a RB if it's all about metrics. Biggest thing for me however is GAME footage, For some reason scouts and teams don't look at that as much, or our...

    2024 March Madness

    I didn't watch a single minute of college hoops this year, so besides the snippets of info that I get here, I am completely clueless as to how good/bad any of the teams are this year. So thanks for the work y'all do! Anyway, I was curious to see who St Marys was playing in their first round...

    College Hoops Season 2023-24

    Ain't this the truth. It's actually stunning considering that all of the "All American" high-school invite teams are 99% black. The truth here is that just like in football, the majority of high school teams are majority white. And the best of the best are usually white. High school...

    2024 NFL Draft

    I would love to see Pearsall or McConkey land in KC, they would be day 1 starters. Along with Watson it would give the Chiefs two crackers in the WR rotation. Also it would be good landing spot for "homegrown" star Schrader. It would be fantastic 1-2 backfield of Pacheco and Schrader. Pacheco...

    Cleveland Browns General Thread

    On the positive side, now there are less black QB's for the rest of the league.

    Miami Dolphins General Thread

    One of the reasons that the Chiefs traded him away to the 'Fins. Fat Bastard doesn't put up with divas and Tyreek is one.

    Carolina Panthers General Thread

    Jewell's deal is very close to the same as what Tranquill signed for in KC. White man's discount and all. Looking around the league signings for LB's and I came across some guy, Frankie Luvu, signed for almost double what Jewell and Tranquill got. And I don't even know who he is!

    Kirk Cousins

    Cousins is going to the Falcons. Signing a 4 year deal, numbers have not been released.

    Pittsburgh Steelers General Thread

    But, he's Mr Unlimited.. You've all seen this one before.

    2024 NFL Draft

    Of course I would love to see McConkey make it to the Chiefs. He would instantly be WR1. Would also be a great landing spot for Schrader. The only RB locked in to the roster right now is Isiah Pacheco. Pacheco and Shrader would be a formidable 1-2 RB combo, and Schrader has outstanding hands...
