Do they have running total on how much pay Burfict has forfeited thru suspensions and fines?

 

[Fish on The Sand]

SB winning QB's since 2000 season by spot selected in draft

Peyton Manning (1st round , 1st overall) (x2)
Eli Manning (1st round , 1st overall) (x2)
Trent Dilfer (1st round , 6th overall)
Ben Roethlisberger (1st round , 11th overall) (x2)
Joe Flacco (1st round , 18th overall)
Aaron Rodgers (1st round , 24th overall)
Drew Brees (2nd round , 32nd overall)
Russell Wilson (3rd round , 75th overall)
Nick Foles (3rd round , 88th overall)
Tom Brady (6th round , 199th overall) (x5)
Brad Johnson (9th round , 227th overall)

1st round QB's have won 9 SB's while QB's drafted after 1st round have won 9 SB's

A couple things

1) Brady skews that heavily
2) Brees' draft position would be first round by today's standards

This is a crazy story, if true. Garrett is asking Jason Witten to unretire. Witten hasn’t worked out since the end of last season. This isn’t like Cutler who didn’t need to be in any sort of shape to drop back and half ass it. TE is a very physical position.

ESPN reports Cowboys asked Jason Witten to leave the booth and come back

Cutler half assed it back?

He was throwing at Vanderbilt campus including to Vandy WR's in offseason when he came back from shoulder surgery

Witten was done as a player last year, can't imagine what he would offer at this point.

Riverboats got a couple more weeks and then I suspect hes getting a pink slip.

Scott can really play. Honestly thought he should have been on the Saints roster by now. I'm guessing he would've been if they hadn't had to use umpteen roster spots on fill-ins at WR.

He gets compared to Darren Sproles a lot. He's not quite as shifty as Sproles, more of a bowling ball type. But when he gets to the corner and turns on the speed, he's gone.

Kind of baffling the Saints have gone with people like Gillislee and Washington over him. The only explanation that makes any sense is he can't pass protect.

I'm a fan of Boston Scott as well. He's going to stick in the league.

So. Where will Raiders play next season?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Bengals have been without Dalton and Green for most of these games. Take away a teams two best offensive players and they'll likely suck.

Shhhhhhhhh. Stop stating facts.

So. Where will Raiders play next season?

I think they're still in Oakland for 2 more years

I thought Las Vegas was next year?

I thought Las Vegas was next year?

Where will the Raiders play in 2019, and why isn't anyone freaking out?

Eagles' Carson Wentz could miss rest of season with back injury | Could Nate Sudfeld get a shot at playing? What it means (UPDATE)

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Flacco had a good run. He'll start somewhere next year as a stop-gap.
