OT: Other Sports aka All of us are better at our jobs than the #Broncos OL Thread XXVIII

[Alex Jones]

Asking price is hard to assess for Romo, since he's damaged goods.

Dallas will probably want more than a pick since they are playing so well.

Could see something around Ware + conditional mid-round pick.

 

[famicommander]

This has already been mentioned a couple of times, but he wouldn't last 2 weeks behind Denver's OL. Heck, Dallas has arguably the best OL in the league, and Romo can't stay healthy behind them.

Don't forget the part where he's a massive choke artist.

Highest fourth quarter QB rating of all time.

Trading Ware would probably be a mistake. That man is very important to the mentality of the defense. When he plays, everyone else plays a little better.

Dallas is going to want a pass rusher in return.

Ware is the most expendable, unless you want to give up on someone like Shane Ray.

Then that's a worthless stat because he doesn't pass the eye test.

You don't agree with it so it's a useless stat?

Romo was pretty good, however, he's damaged goods now.

Also, I realized FS1 is just hiring bunch of dumbasses from ESPN, Skip Bayless, Whitlock, Cowherd, Chris Broussard, etc. I guess they want to improve their 0.00001% TV ratings

Please let them take Dick Vitale and Merrill Hoge

I've seen the man choke countless times. Mostly in important games. Including in that shootout against Manning's Broncos a few years back.

Stephen A Smith should be #1 on the priority list

they'd probably want Shaq Barrett or Shane Ray before Ware I'm guessing.

Yup. Barrett plus a pick, or Ray.

I'm wondering whether Siemian's throwing shoulder is the one that's hurt. He's always been advertised as having a rocket for an arm, but his throws in that last game were anything but.

Not impressed at all with any of the Rockies manager candidates. Are you guys?

 

[Hasbro]

I'd rather not, but I could live with eating a year to get our QB situation going forward and next year Elway can go hard in free agency.

 

[Bonzai12]

Yikes @ Romo's contract - he will have to renegotiate and cut his salary if he doesn't want to ride pine in Dallas. Crazy how things can turn quickly in the NFL. Only really the Browns, Jags, and 49ers could realistically fit him comfortably without cap room going back to the Boys.

I *****ed about Weiss a lot, but outside of like 3 or 4 guys (Maddon, Francona, etc.), there isn't a big difference between one manager and another in MLB.

So I'm cool with whoever as long as they're good at managing the guys inside the clubhouse.

 

[famicommander]

They could higher a cat litter box and it would be better than Jim Tracy was. That's what I liked best about Weiss; he has a certain "not Jim Tracy" quality.

The Arena Football League is crumbling before our eyes.

The Arizona Rattlers, in the AFL since 1992 and winners of 5 Arena Bowls, are leaving for the Indoor Football League.

The Orlando Predators (est. 1991), Portland Thunder (est. 2014), and LA Kiss (est. 2014) have folded

The Jacksonville Sharks (est. 2010) are leaving for an as-yet unannounced rival league

That leaves just the Tampa Bay Storm, Cleveland Gladiators, Philadelphia Soul, and the expansion Washington Valor in the league that has been around since 1987 (except one year off).

Sad, but the upshot is that in the wake of the contraction there are rumors of the IFL getting a TV deal with FS1.

Colorado has a team in the IFL. The Crush (formerly the Ice, no official relation to the old AFL team) play in Loveland, in the same arena as the Eagles.

So maybe we'll get to see an indoor team from Colorado on TV again. I'd rather it be the AFL game as it's a more entertaining brand than the IFL game, but I'll take what I can get.

 

[Pokecheque]

Never, ever understood the appeal of arena football. Arena sports are usually fast-paced and the action is continuous (unless you're watching the last few minutes of a basketball game and everyone keeps calling time out). Football is slow. So why you'd take the slow pace of football and scrunch it onto a 50-yard field I have no idea.

 

[Bender]

Is Billy Turner any good?

 

[JWK]

Is Billy Turner any good?

I had to google to see who he was

 

[tigervixxxen]

Maybe we could still get Fitzpatrick since he's doing nothing now.

 

[Bonzai12]

I think I might pick up every single fantasy football defense that will face Geno Smith for the rest of the year.
