NFL: 2021 NFL off-season news & notes discussion thread

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Let's reserve judgement until we know more about the facts of the allegations.

But, from the outside looking in, this is an elite athlete. So, from a logical POV, to me, if he's getting massages to help him heal and get ready for the next game and season, then wouldn't he be seeing the same therapist all the time or at most 2 different ones? I use a RMT and I try to see the same person each time, knowing full well that the person I want to see may be booked for a couple of weeks in advance.

I have switched RMT locations but that's mainly due to my work not being downtown, so it's not as convenient to go there. But, once I find someone that is good, I stick with that person.

Watson has money, so you'd think he'd be able to setup a schedule to see a therapist on regular basis.

So, it makes me wonder what kind of massage places he is going to? Or what the intention of his trip to these massages are for.

I think it's becoming pretty clear what the intention of those trips are...

Obviously he is not guilty in a court of law yet, but it looks pretty f***ing bad.

And why pray tell do we need to reserve judgement when there's 13 lawsuits (all of which have been vetted) with more on the way?

I always thought you were a bit dim upstairs but now I have my proof

Allegations are not proof of guilt/innocence. If you wish to judge him right now, you can go right ahead.

I have no skin in the game here. If he's guilty, I hope he gets punished accordingly.

Yes I agree. Early on when there was only one or two lawsuits, that’s one thing but 13? That’s f***ing insane. Obviously there’s still the possibility all of them could be lying or fake, but as the number rises, it gets smaller and smaller and at 13, the possibility is minuscule at best now.

Caesar's Superdome has a nice ring to it, actually.

I'd go with Caesar's Colosseum over Superdome. Embrace the theme.

I'd agree but they ain't changing the Superdome name.

More on the new TV deals

While details remain sparse, the NFL's TV packages on CBS and Fox will seemingly look much different in 2023

Basically the traditional AFC on CBS and NFC on Fox will be scrapped

Will we still have access to our local teams in market?

Yes, that will always happen. The article speculates that it would be something like a draft, and/or something like how the Big Ten broadcast schedule is done.

That would mix up the announce teams. Not always tied to Buck/Aikman for Dallas anymore or Nanz/Romo for New England as an example. Can get a bit repetitive hearing the same announce crew for certain teams.

With such a large number of prime time games, the schedule is still watered down enough that it will happen.

These games better be played a week that isn’t the last of the season. To end the nfc west season with 4 games against the afc north would be criminal.

No reason I see to think that would change

 

[spintheblackcircle]

It's amazing that this was one game. The moves he made....I mean poor #50......and #56....#22...all night

 

[Dr Salt]

Honestly starting to think Darnold to Carolina is likely if one of the big 4 QBs isn't going to them. Would move a 3 and select Slater/Pitts.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Ultimately I don't think anything will come of it, but if they are forced to sell, I wonder if chargers could move again.

Do the other 3 Spanos siblings have the money to buy out Dea's portion of the team? Each sibling owns 15%, the family trust controls 36% and the remaining 4% is owned by outside entities.

Say the value of the team is $2.6 billion per Forbes Magazine, do the Siblings have $390 million total or $130 million each to buy out Dea's share? Siblings have first right to purchase her portion. Have to agree on the price, then see if they either have the money or can borrow the money to buy her out.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

borrow the money to buy her out.

Which would lead to even more debt.

Ja’Marr Chase is going nuts in his pro day

Could we have a thread created exclusively for draft talks and pro day?
