Bully Wee Villa Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 What the f**k does the US Ambassador to the UK actually do? When it was Gregory Peck, he raised the son of Satan. This Jets fellow wants watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Fully behind the Vegas move. The Las Vegas Raiders sounds excellent, imo. It's a city that fits the image of the team, and of course it means the Raiders will become financially relevant again, which just isn't possible when you're in a small market like Oakland. Especially one which has no money. The "oh but there's gambling" argument is a total non-issue.

I have no affinity to Oakland but I sort of started following them because of my auntie and uncle who stay in Livermore. Not asked them what they think about it yet. Won't really bother me, the only thing is it'll maybe put a bit of a dampener on the next few years? Atmosphere at home games will be extremely awkward. Vegas does sound pretty cool though, and I plan on going to a game so a Vegas holiday will be better than an Oakland one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them have seen this all happen before, still supported the team in Los Angeles and will still do in Las Vegas. But it's shite on them, no doubt. I'm also planning a Vegas holiday which I'd like to coincide with a Raiders game. Will be a bit disappointed if I've got to wait until 2019 for it, tbh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochas III Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 So... Seattle under investigation, Miami given final warning on Concussion Protocol, and Zeke Elliot's domestic abuse investigation still on going. Is there anything else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? Thought not. Only reason the Pro-Bowl is worth anything is to remember Sean Taylor's hit on Bills former punter Brian Moorman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Maybe more for the Gaming forum but I've been playing the Franchise part of Madden 17.

lichtie23 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Under investigation for what? Not putting Richard Sherman's injury on the injury report. Apparently played about half the season with an MCL injury 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a surprise that On the face of it seems like a bloody dreadful appointment. He hasn't got any experience in scouting or personnel outside of commentating. This has shades of a Matt Millen standard of appointment. Edited January 30, 2017 by Sloop John B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes some doing to be the worst owner in the NFL but Jed York might have beaten out a man who has relocated to an MLS ground, a man who finds the term 'Redskins' to not be offensive and several actual crooks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Right so 9ers have given a 6 year deal as GM to a tv analyst who had no front office experience whatsoever and has not even worked as a scout. What could possibly go wrong. Edited January 30, 2017 by Jute 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could possibly go wrong. It's an absolute tyre fire but he always comes across as a decent guy so I hope he does well. Even going 4-12 would be a success surely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
