NFL 2012

I can't think of a team I'd wish Tebow on more than the Cowboys, I say they go for it.

If Tebow ended up chasing Orton around the league...

Tebow to the Raiders. COME ON!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.

[Sjofn]

He needs to commit a crime first, you silly.

[sickrubik]

He needs to commit a crime first, you silly.

He stole the minds of many fans... does that count?

[Draegan]

Tebow should back up Vick.

[01101010]

No wait... think about it. Tebow in Black and Silver and Davis returns from the dead. Or, see how the Raider nation consumes god's chosen gridiron champion. This shit writes itself people... MAKE THIS HAPPEN! 

[MuffinMan]

So much ugly in one picture.

[Sjofn]

Man, it is amazing how much I still want to punch Elway in the face just for being Elway. I should be ashamed of myself.

PS: Orange is a hideous primary team color and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

[MuffinMan]

Elway is in that photo? I thought that was a horse.

[01101010]

Well Elway's mouth goes rather well with Peyton's forehead, spatially.

Nice.

[Cyrrex]

Yes, those carzy NFL fans.  Go fuck yourself, drgbrghrv412.

I am fully onboard with both of these statements.

Alex Smith resigns with the Niners, 3-year deal, $8 million a year, $16.5 million guaranteed.

Welp, it's official. Miami may be the saddest franchise in the entire NFL. The Colts will get Luck, the Skins get RG3, the Seahawks get Flynn, and even Alex Smith turns you down. Oh and your best offensive player left is the fragile Reggie Bush. What is it about Miami that just turned all these guys away? I mean, at least in Cleveland you know there's nobody coming to rescue you, but Miami had glimmers of hope last year. I don't see any positives out of what they've done so far and a whole bunch of negatives. Moore may have done well last year, but how's he going to do with no #1 wideout (or even a legit #2)?

Weird trade - Demeco Ryans to the Eagles from the Texans for draft picks. Not sure I get this one. The Eagles get a solid linebacker, though with some injury history, and the Texans get an extra 4th round pick and they move up 12 places in the third round. For a team that had such a good defense last year, it seems strange to trade away your captain after losing your big-name pass rusher in free agency. I guess they decided to go younger on the defense? Just seems a weird trade.

Miamuh has been pretty much a turd since Marino retired, and it was a borderline turd through much of his career. 

[sickrubik]

Oh snap, here it comes.

Sean Payton suspended one year. Mickey Loomis 8 game and $500,000 fine. Saints fined $500,000 and a second round pick in 2012 and 2013.

Additionally, Gregg Williams suspended indefinitely.

EDIT: Tebow to the JETS for a 4th. _JETS_. Lawl.

[Rasix]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

[Paelos]

Wow. Can he be worse than the Sanchize? Nope.

[sickrubik]

So Tim Tebow traded and Sean Payton suspended a year at the same time. that's a fun minute in NFL history.

 

[sickrubik]

So, odds on Brees demanding a trade now to get away from this madness?

[HaemishM]

OH MY GOD.

A FOURTH FUCKING ROUND PICK FOR TEBOW? Jesus, how little fucking faith in Sancheese do you have to have to trade that high a pick for Tebow? With a running game that was terrible last year and a QB whose biggest problem is accuracy, and you trade for a QB with a career accuracy rating of 47%?? Stunning. Absolutely gobsmacked. There is no way this was a good idea. Sanchez's already fragile psyche in a locker room fragmented as fuck with no confidence in their QB and they bring in a guy that the Jesus freaks will be howling to start the minute Sanchez throws an INT? Could this possibly be the dumbest fucking trade EVER? I'm not sure which team will suck worse, Miami or the Jets.

The Payton suspension is fucking HUGE. Problems with Brees' contract, a GM and coach suspended, and who is going to coach? The NFC South is up for grabs this year, IMO. I assume the O Coordinator for the Saints would take over for the year because how you going to hire someone from outside the organization for only a year?

[Paelos]

My city of Atlanta is literally dancing in the hallways over the Saints taking it up the pooper on this bountygate.

[Trippy]

No first round picks? That's weak.

[HaemishM]

They ought to be. They've done fuckall in free agency and haven't looked to improve themselves. If Carolina can get any sort of defense this year, it could be a 3 or 4 team race.

[01101010]

Tebow in NYC. That might be enough to get me to watch that Rumspringa. So much for him wanting to be back in the South / Florida via trade. You could not be any farther from that type of culture if you moved to Europe.

I seriously can't fathom why the Jets went this way... unless they make Timmy into an H-back.

I have no idea what the Jets were thinking.  Lets back up our shitty QB with an even shittier one that is going be bringing even more of a media circus to a team that desperately needs to shut the fuck up and lose the drama, not add to it.  My god, the Jets implosion this year is going to be absurd.

[sickrubik]

A friend in Jersey texted me the following: "Omg I need to move."

This is the most exciting off-season in a LONG time.

[ghost]

Holy shit.  Sean Payton suspended for a year.  

That's crazy.  

"A combination of elements made this matter particularly unusual and egregious," Goodell said. "When there is targeting of players for injury and cash rewards over a three-year period, the involvement of the coaching staff, and three years of denials and willful disrespect of the rules, a strong and lasting message must be sent that such conduct is totally unacceptable and has no place in the game."

[Malakili]

Tebow to the Jets is a major   

I can't figure out their angle here.  He isn't a good QB, their team isn't in great need of a utility player if they want to play him in that role.   I guess Sporano is coming in and wants to run the wild cat? 

I would've actually been interested to see him go to New England or something, they actually have a track record of using players like this effectively.

Plus McDaniels wants to make out with him.

[Ingmar]

Wow. Can he be worse than the Sanchize? Nope.

He was last year.

[Nevermore]

So, odds on Brees demanding a trade now to get away from this madness?

Maybe he can be traded to the Dolphins! 

Seriously, the Fins started their downward slide under Wayne Huizenga by wrecking the front office and Stephen Ross is even worse.  Right now Miami probably has the worst front office in the league and Ross is more interested in selling bits of the team to celebrities than fielding a competitive product.

[HaemishM]

Tebow to the Jets still just floors me. The fucking media circus that surrounds that team just got amped up to OVER 9000!!!!!!!

The Jets are the Kardashians of the NFL.

Bye Timmy, thanks for the memories.  You could hear Elway smile from a coast away.

[Malakili]

You could hear Elway smile from a coast away.

This is the real story I think.  Denver just washed its hands of a year (at least) of controversy over something that shouldn't even be one to begin with.  I think they actually could have gotten more than they did for him, but just getting him out the door for anything was worth it.

[sickrubik]

If they could have, they would have.

Bye Timmy, thanks for the memories.  You could hear Elway smile from a coast away.

You could also see it from a coast away.

[Ingmar]

I'm pretty sure that was just the sun glinting off his horse teeth.
