He’s ultra talented, but has motivation problems and decides when to turn on his switch and when to just put it on autopilot. After week 1, he kinda disappeared till the playoffs. After winning the Super Bowl, he started talking about taking a year off or sitting out till camp.

I’d rather spend that kind of $ on players that bring max effort every play.

This is the best WR class in quite some time. 55 WRs were invited to the combine. I’d rather use that money on a stud corner or linebacker, TBH.

That means we wouldn't have had a bye this year in the AFC. You rely on that to help propel you to the Super Bowl when you are a top team. Luck can play a part in getting the #1 or #2 or just who you played. In addition to a 17 game schedule, it will allow some teams to have MORE home games than away games. Just a terrible CBA all around.<br />

Instead of the owners just giving more money to the players, they just want them to play more. Which makes sense in most cases, but not when there is a great chance of injury.

In November 2018, I had bi-lateral micro-decompression of my L2/L3, L3/L4 and L4/L5, which is the long way of saying that I had surgery for Spinal Stenosis.

I took Tramadol, which is an extremely potent opoid, for 3 days. Not only was I completely and utterly constipated, and spent 8 hours one night bleeding out my ass due to the effect of the opioid, I was in massive pain.

On Day 4, I flushed the Tramadol down the toilet and began taking 40mg's of edibles, Nugs to be exact, to combat the pain. It was like a miracle drug, I shit you not. I didn't get "high", because the pain was way too intense but I felt SO much better AND after a few days, resumed normal bathroom activities.

I have no idea what it feels like to play in the NFL but it's difficult for me to believe that THC won't help manage their pain.

I have sciatica pain. I've not smoked weed in 30 years. I think it would make a huge difference. But, I have to take work mandated drug tests all the time. Weed is not an option until the scumbags legalize it.

JFC, is it really necessary to bump a three year old thread to post updated news?

Start a new thread.

If you get to 18 games and expanded playoffs look what you can do...You can add a bye to the regular season, you add a round to the playoffs etc and all of the sudden you've extended the season by a month.

Also an 18 game schedule makes expansion easier, don't be surprised if they end up getting up to 40 teams in the next 20 years.

This is all about money, more teams, more weeks more games more money.

If they strike, they strike. Big deal. It will end like the others. Players get a little bit ,while the owners lose nothing. Over and over again.
Jocks are a dime a dozen. There's not only 35 great QBS in a land of 300 million.

What 8 cities could support NFL expansion? The list looks very weak. San Antonio and San Diego are possibles. I don't really buy Orlando or Portland. The big ones were Las Vegas and LA which both got teams. Salt Lake seems like a big loser. What pro athlete wants to move to Mormon town?

1. Toronto
2. San Antonio/Austin both of these cities are huge so pick one
3. Portland
4. Oklahoma City
5. San Diego
6. St Louis
7. Albuquerque
8. Louisville

Those bottom 2 are longer shots but I left off places like London, Mexico City, Vancouver and even Salt Lake, there are a lot of options. Hell Columbus Ohio is massive but the Buckeyes are there so....
