    I still can’t get this out of my head

    You know what every other QB practices instead of that? Their playbook, so they know their outlet.

    Or throw it away, or scramble, or take the sack instead of try to out-Heracles dudes who look like this:

    It works when they are also freaks of nature , Vick , Jackson etc but boy when the first knee injury happens they lose a lot . Why do you think Brady just takes the sack and lays down , nfl lineman are 300-400 pound gigantic monstrosities of genetics barreling down on you at Mach 1 .

    Maybe more QB's should do what Roethlisberger does, and gain 300 pounds too!

    His turnover issues aren't limited to pressure either. Getting fooled by disguised coverage or just flat out bad reads are problems he faces as well.

    The Mannings were the kings of “laying down” for a sack.

    They also both had long, mostly injury free careers.

    Not a coincidence.

    Speaking of Eli Manning, his number will be retired by the Giants this season, which is neat.

    I know you know this, but in Peyton's case it's definitely important to emphasize mostly

    Of course the fact that he went down with a fairly severe neck injury and managed to come back and maintain the career that he did is basically unheard of

    Yeah. The neck injury is specifically why I said, “mostly”

    it's also worth noting the many minor injuries to Eli's pride over the years

    (which he obviously similarly overcame)

    Is the Manning face getting it's own picture and jersey?

    Manning face should definitely be on his bust in the HOF

    Before that though he was second in the league and maybe even all time in consecutive games played behind I believe Brett Favre. Favre also is credited for developing a technique with his feet to protect himself from injury that involved a little hop right as he was releasing. The idea is you're most vulnerable to hits when you're throwing and you'll protect your legs and ankles by not being planted. Rodgers does this too and he learned it from Favre.

    Well he used a lot of HGH to accomplish this, which I don’t have an issue with, just pointing it out

    Brady was always a conservative piece of shit, he's just in a state where that's more welcomed now.

    The only reason why Peyton got a fucked up neck was because his entire career his throwing motion was giving him minor whiplash every single pass.

    XFL players to get about 4 percent of their claims after bankruptcy plan administrator decision. My story
    Last week, the administrator Peter Hurwitz wrote the court, he is “prepared to calculate the rejection damages in the amount of $7,280 ($1,040 weekly salary multiplied by seven weeks remaining under the Player Contract).”

    However the players will not get $7,280, that is just what Hurwitz determined is a legitimate claim. Farrow estimated players would get eight to 12 percent of that.

    Some are set to get under $600 and it won't be received until year's end at the earliest

    Wait did the xfl burn down? Again?

    I mean, I'm not surprised, I just can't remember hearing anything about it beyond "We're gonna start up the XFL again!" And then a cacophony of laughter drowned out the stars.

    COVID hit pretty much right after it started. I think teams played 5 games before shutting it down. I think they're starting it again.

    Feels like he's just playing out a plot line from Ballers. Hope he didn't pay much, seems like a good dude.

    It was already fucked even before COVID. Viewership had dropped like 85% between Week 1 and 3, and that was with the expectation of being stuck inside ramping up. If you can't get people to tune into football when they literally can't leave the house, you've got no hope as a league.

    Is this about them forcing their cheerleaders into sex work or was that ignored and an investigation was for something else?

    I think it was that plus a bunch of other allegations around the organization. I only hope that $10 million is going to the folks involved and the NFL isn't just absorbing it.

    Snyder has been fucking nothing but smug, since he , In quintessential Danny Boy fashion, sued the other WFT owners and returned to being the sole majority owner of the WFT. Add to that, he hires his own wife to claim the , "See, I'm very progressive with the womenz too!!" card, and now he gets to even be more of a petulant asshole, that makes the likes of Jerry Jones likeable in comparison.

    Ugh, fuck Snyder.

    I know player fines go into a health fund for veteran players but I'm not sure about team fines.

    What the hell is it with legion of boom players and getting arrested ?

    On a happier note , all the articles praising mike evans and lavante David warm my heart . Devin white is getting a lot of hype too , I just hope he can maintain his awesome coverage from the playoffs, he has a tendency to get burned before we went on our championship run .

    Police and Sherman's family really bending over backwards emphasizing there was no violence to anyone, just the technicality of the charge.

    Cam Chancellor's wasn't on him, that was strictly racial.

    But for the rest of the Boom. Eh, play stupid games, etc.
