Odds went from 50- down to 4-1 in a swoop of a decision.  Weirdly enough a couple huge bets came in on the bucs in the days leading up to the decision Brady made...like days.  Vegas said these weren't their regulars either.  Too odd to be true.  Why wouldn't these momos spread out their action, they will be looked at hard core if those bets come through

The article went on to say they were very out of the ordinary.  Bucs made no free agent splash that would merit the bets.  I don't even think they had a quarterback in mind yet.  Pretty ballsy going 10k deep on a team with no qb.

With being said if they can tie the individual back to an insider in bradys group or Brady himself it could come back to bite Brady.  There is now a multimillion liability on the sportsbooks with the bucs.  The flurry of huge bets coinciding with his announcement is too shady for me to believe.

But he'll if I was Brady angers, 2nd cousins boyfriend who caught win of that, I'd book the first flight I could to vegas too lol.

Yeah they will be locking Herbert up with a massive contract.  The afc is loaded with good qb play.  Good time to be a fan of an nfc team, now even Jax spending like crazy to put together a good team.  God forbid TL becomes as good as these qbs.  The next 10 years is going to be fun to watch.  Fantasy football dream here lol.

There's a rumor that Adams chose to go elsewhere even though Packers were offering the same money. Kinda interesting reflection on Rodgers if this is true. #1 WR doesn't want to play with a $50m QB

Yeah there definitely was something going on for him to split like that if the money was the same.  Why would you want o go to the afc west right now too.  That division is stacked right now.  His best chance was to stay with green Bay.  Who knows what happens between closed doors.

It has been some time since I have read about the case but it seems the reason this has not happened is because Watson does not want to pay, for some reason he seems to want things to stand still or to go to trial, I am not a lawyer or anything but while numbers can create strength they can also create weakness, as long as their lawyers could prove that one of the cases is false then this immediately calls into question the other accusers, and he could be able to get away with this using that strategy.

And in other news it seems the Chiefs have traded Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins.
https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-trading-tyreek-hill-to-dolphins-who-are-the-biggest-winners-and-losers

Hill will miss Mahomes more, but this is an absolutely devastating loss for Mahomes and the Chiefs.  In my opinion this move cancelled out there chance to win a Super Bowl.  Despite disliking Tyreek as I believe him to be a scumbag, the was essential to the Chiefs deadly offense.  Right now Mahomes best WR is JuJu, that's not good.  ( of course they still have Kelce, who's essentially a receiver out of the TE position).


@suchmoon - you mentioned something about Rodgers wanting more money and I want to say you kind of hinted towards it being a bit selfish..I think I actually defended him a bit in that regard but you were dead on.  Him being okay with letting Adams be traded, since they didn't have the money to keep him long term, really does show a lot about Rodgers greediness, willing to let the best WR in the game go like that.

I don't mind what the Chiefs did, getting 5 draft picks for a WR is always good, regardless of who you're trading away, and the Chiefs probably couldn't afford to pay both Mahomes and Hill, let alone give him $30 mil per year. Chiefs still have Hardman, have signed JuJu and MVS, and the draft is stacked with excellent wide receivers if they decide to go that route. I know they finished in the top five in every major offensive category, but teams started to adjust. They ran a lot of 'Cover 2' against them last season, which means the defense will take away the explosive plays and allow short/intermediate completions. Mahomes and Hill both struggled (lol struggle is probably not the right word) against it, with Mahomes more than doubling his interceptions from the previous two seasons and Hill finishing with 11.2 yards per reception, the lowest of his career (if not counting his rookie year). I'm not suggesting that losing an explosive player like Hill is something you should be excited about but Mahomes/Chiefs should be more concerned that the rest of the AFC West got exponentially better this offseason.


I don't picture Tua trying to complete 50-yard bombs to Hill every single play. Deebo did well with Mike McDaniel's designed runs, and Hill's run game is there. I'm not sure how the Dolphins' offense will look next season, but a significant drop in Hill's fantasy production seems unlikely.

Bills would've scored...

Agreed, this is a very good change! The NFL should not leave the teams their playoff season being left on the luck of a coin toss. It might also be good for the regular season if they also change it. I think something similar also happened to the Chargers versus the Raiders.

The Buccanners head coach retires, he will be replaced by Todd Bowles. Will Bowles be a good head coach? What do you NFL experts say? Also, what will this do to Tom Brady?



Bruce Arians surprised the NFL world on Wednesday night when he announced his retirement.

Arians is moving into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ front office as a senior football consultant, and will be replaced by defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.

Naturally, the announcement drew plenty of reaction from the NFL world on social media — both congratulating Arians on his retirement and praising Bowles, who will get his second shot as a head coach in the league after his first stint with the New York Jets.

Broken clock and all that...

But I gotta admit BA's retirement looks quite bizarre, particularly the timing after Brady's un-retirement.
