Broncos are so huge here that sports radio can literally get by with talking about them 24/7. Last year was the first year since the 70's that they had back-to-back losing seasons. The fans are showing doubt for one of the first times. Radio still seems to say that Flacco is obviously better than Keenum, which automatically equals a good year.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Flacco looks better when he played old Browns twice year. Now...no two free wins.
"I’m from New Hampshire, born and raised. Growing up, the Pats sucked and my Dad didn’t even bother to loathe them. He was just bemused by their ineptitude and incompetence. He was a *HUGE* Raiders fan and so, of course, he inflicted that on me. He loved Al Davis. He had me convinced that the “Immaculate Reception” was an illegal play only allowed because the refs were scared of the hometown Yinzers. Part of the mythos of my childhood was that in a fit of rage, my Dad threw a TV out of the bedroom window after the Steelers scored that touchdown. At one point, he called the Raiders organization and spoke with Al Locasale, imploring him to trade Tim Brown to the Falcons for I-don’t-even-remember-who.
Anyhow, fast forward to the Tuck Rule game: my Dad initially cited this as an absolute black eye on the NFL, another example of bias against Al Davis for some perceived grievance he committed back in the early days of the league when, in fact, it must have been just a master stroke of his brilliance as an owner as he out-maneuvered everyone. However, over the years, as he got older and it became clear that the Raiders would never recover to their glory days and that the Pats were building a Dynasty (TM), my Dad switched allegiances and is now a hardcore Pats fan. The Raiders are dead to him, Brady and Belichick (puke emoji) are mythical heroes, and by the way, I married a woman named Alison—i.e., “Al Davis.” What does that say?!"
"Over the last four years, Jason Licht has drafted nine defensive backs in the first four rounds and has had a monumentally bad secondary every year. And of course one year after taking two corners in the second round, Licht went for two corners on the first three this year. As if this wasn’t bad enough.....he drafted a kicker. A KICKER. A fucking kicker. Are you kidding me? A kicker? For the love of Roberto Aguayo who lets this guy draft still? The Lions drafting first round receivers think this is a fucking joke.
Based on the definition of insanity, somebody get a padded room and a straitjacket ready immediately. That isn’t for Licht. That’s for me for showing up again for another year thinking this is the year the Bucs are decent again. I deserve it. The Bucs suck."
The entire Raiders article brings me such evil joy. I hate that garbage fire of a franchise.

That sounds realistic to me. I think the Browns have a playoff team. Baby steps.

Drew Lock might see the field by the season's end. Flacco is good enough to make them a .500 team with that defense. Nothing more.

"A few months after Super Bowl 46 where we beat the Patriots (again), I was lucky enough to go to an event where our esteemed owner, John Mara, showed up with the Lombardi trophy and answered softball questions about how great the Giants were. Some moron who just graduated from college asked Mara for advice as he was setting out on a career in business. Stunned at the question, Mara paused and said something like 'I don’t know…marry well—I inherited a family business.'"
Yeah, trying to think of expectations I should have for Sequon Barkley, who is clearly a stud, but figure that the box will be piled and ready for screens to him all year. Avoid first round probably...
Barkley is mentioned with just one sentence in that article, lol.
That Giants article made me evil laugh a lot. Seeing a once proud franchise go to shit because the owners are too dumb to move on from the crappy Manning brother makes me smile. Fuck the Giants.

The Jets one made me sad. They will never stop being the little brother to the asshole big brother.
As for the Bucs, I don't hate them but they stuck with a POS at QB and thus deserve their current lot.

"Our best player talked shit then got burned by Josh Allen. The QB we paid millions for is known for catching a ball and having a big dick."
I still can't believe the Jags are a real NFL team. Also I named one of my fantasy football teams "90s Expansion Team."

Hah!
Yeaaaaaah...that might be getting stolen.
"Detroit lucked into the two greatest position players of all time and squandered their talent so thoroughly that both left the team well shy of their career twilight. Then the local sports media has the gall to screech and rend their jowls about LOYALTY and HONOR and FAMILY like we’re in a fucking South Boston movie.
The owner is a bloated shitpile who knowingly sold cars with fucked-up transmissions. The fans are downriver CHUDs whose hatred of non-whites is matched only by their love of Kid Rock. Dan Gilbert is fistfucking locals to get free land out of the city. The casinos can’t serve free liquor while you gamble. The roster is more dessicated and crumbling than Iggy Pop’s body. Just let Canada annex
Well I stole it from the guy's letter to the Jags WYTS entry, so steal away!
Also I know several Lions fans online. Some have even posted here. Never a Jags fan, though. So rare.

The one about the Bills that was just posted today had me laughing so hard I cried. Imagine if the NFL punished crappy teams by regulating them to the CFL or the XFL or whatever.

Been saying that would be something great for NBA that would prevent teams from purposely tanking.
I agree about the NBA. The Knicks deserve that fate along with my Suns and a sad list of others.

"Let’s just say my lifetime Bills fandom has led to little problems with rampant alcoholism, dangerous obesity, sharting my pants in Monday morning staff meetings, and more threats of divorce than I can count (don’t remember most of ‘em!). But maybe the most severe impact is that it has turned me into a Patriot/Boston hater with the passion of a deranged meth head uncle. I’ve cut off old friendships with people from Boston, made up excuses to not visit my wife’s family in Rhode Island, forbade my kid’s pre-school teacher from singing Sweet Caroline, prayed for October mid-air collisions between the Sox and Pats team planes, and have a lifelong sworn oath to run Brady over if I see him walking down the street. I am a mentally unstable and wildly unhealthy person that despises an entire region of this country and it all comes back to a division rivalry that has gone horribly, horribly wrong. That was me eating ass in the parking lot. Go Bills!"
"Someone has surely made this joke before but Vic Fangio is second to Dr. Acula in terms of terrible vampire aliases."
The Broncos article made me laugh in super villain fashion. The Bills article is just all kinds of sad, save for this hilarious part:
"Watching the Bills every year is like bearing witness to an isolated tribe living in the Aleutian island chain, where kids trek to school in snowshoes and their parents swill paint thinner while carving tally marks into a nearby wooden plank with a bowie knife to count down the days until it’s time to reconvene with the Lord. The Bills are a portrait of despair. I don’t even like thinking about them. I was in coma for two weeks last winter and the nicest thing about it was that I never once thought of the Bills. Now I’m alive again and just the IDEA of the Bills still existing makes me yearn to be eaten by a frost bear and sent back into the great blackness, where all is quiet and Cole Beasley doesn’t exist."

I forgot Branch won 3 Super Bowls. It's surprising that he is not in the HOF.
