How could the sentence “Using the NFL as a platform for his causes is his priority” possibly refer to any of the stuff you just described?

As a youngish person who works at a newspaper, this is why I always roll my eyes when a colleague rails against clickbait; the local sports columnist - and, sadly, the local politics columnist at some papers - was clickbait before there were even clicks. It’s a century old tradition of taking the most inflammatory,…

Sure, and I’m not arguing the Bears were wrong to trade him when they did, but there’s a gap between recognizing that a situation has become toxic enough that dealing a player is the right move and torching a guy as “embarrassing” and “intolerable” on his way out the door. (Which, of course, is on the columnist and…

Exactly.

I think this is in reference to Marshall’s efforts to raise awareness for Borderline Personality Disorder, which apparently were considered a distraction among the hallowed grounds of Halas Fricken’ Hall.

Brandon Marshall is unjustly maligned in Jets circles for infamously proclaiming he was “going down in the boat with Ryan Fitzpatrick” during the debacle that was last season, as well as his feud with Sheldon Richardson, but as a fan I enjoyed his time with the team and believe he definitely has good football left in…

Your point was they should get rid of him because Dak, is the QB. No one is disputing that fact.

Ah, crap. It turns out that, actually, imstupid.

There are a couple factors in the Cowboys favour. One is that when he plays, including the one series he played this year, Romo is still probably the best QB in a very thin QB market (especially with Kirk Cousins exclusive tagged).

oh my god fuck that guy forever

Defense does matter, and it helps Kawhi’s case, but I’d imagine (and therefore will posit here, without a shred of evidence or expending any effort to validate my claim) that Westbrook’s ungodly high usage rate pretty significantly skews his turnover rate.

Points No. 1 &2: I never said they can’t afford to hold onto Romo, I explained why it makes no sense for them to do so, especially if they’re doing it out of misplaced optimism for landing a 1st round pick in return.

Dak, is on a rookie contract and a 4th round rookie contract at that. He’s paid $2.7M over the four years of his contract, which is up in 2020.

The market for QB’s is so inflated because without at least a replacement level QB throwing behind an O line that can keep him clean for at least half his snaps, no NFL team is winning a damn thing.

This is actually why I didn’t mind the RG3 signing too much. Yeah, it was likely to fall apart (as it did), but hell, why not roll the dice with someone who’s still young and talented?

The problem that I see with the talk of Glennon’s “market value” is that the market for mediocre-to-bad quarterbacks is set by the league’s worst and dumbest teams. The fact that the Jets gave Ryan Fitzpatrick $12 million last year perversely becomes justification for them paying Mike Glennon $15 million this year,…

It’s not mine but I will pass that star along to the broader internet.

That information does offer one way to explain the Kings’ thinking, which is that they must believe Hield is a potential star, or at least a good enough player to elevate a trade package from “suitable for the most unwanted and one-dimensional center in the league” to “we’re somehow bringing home DeMarcus goddamn…

Yep! She’s had quite a week.

When it comes to Kinja, Mr. Jingles and I have nothing but time...
