The only other explanation I can think of is that maybe he already got what he wanted out of football, while we know there are players which are there exclusively for the money, cough Rodgers cough, there are others that are chasing to win at least one ring before they retire, Arians was like that, even if he had 2 SB rings as an assistant coach he had yet to get one as the HC, so maybe once he got it he simply thought he had achieved what he wanted and it was the moment to retire from the HC position.

Nah Bruce has gone through the football ringer.  If everything was good, you have a very weak NFC and you are the one team with a once in a century qb, so there shot at a super bowl is like even odds.  As a coach if ypu are in it this is the perfect situation.  Something had to have happened.  He didn't just up and retire after a Brady reversal like this.  Sketch.

There were in fact disagreements between Brady and Arians during the season they won the SB and Arians even criticized Brady in front of the media at least once, so who knows what went behind closed doors between those two.

Maybe Arians retired because of a power struggle, after all when Brady was with the Patriots he had in Belichick someone which could keep him and the rest of the team in check, however with the Bucs who could keep Brady in check? Arians? Not really, If Arians told you to do something and Brady told you to do the opposite who would you listen to? In theory the players should listen to Arians, but the prestige of Brady is so great that maybe the players decided to follow Brady’s instructions over Arians, and even Arians talked about this saying that if he gave an order the players were not very enthusiastic about doing it but if Brady said the same thing to them then they will do it without thinking about it.

And then there is this whole thing with Dolphins. I can't imagine Arians being too happy about that, it's like cheating on your wife with a neighbor.

I just read the news today and it is so sad, obviously to make it to the NFL you need to have a lot of talent so I always thought Haskins only needed to study the game more and he could develop into a good QB, as without a doubt he had the physical attributes to become one, also with the retirement of Big Ben he had a good chance to be the starting QB of the Steelers as Rudolph has never been the answer at the position, and even if the Steelers picked a QB during the draft, the current draft class does not seem to be as good as the previous one so they will probably need one year to develop him and get him NFL ready, but I suppose this does not matter anymore.

Rest in peace.

Honestly yeah Etienne shoukd be a huge boost this year.  Since he was out all of last year it's almost like a bonus first round pick.  If I were the jags knowing you have your young "hopefully" franchise quarterback and young rb I'd take a tackle with the first pick.  Either Neal or icky would be a solid choice.  Jags are honestly set up real nice.  They splashed during FA, have young talent and a host of high draft picks.  Trendy pick as the Longshot to win their division.  Long shot but still.

I can't see myself watching this.  You need to be insanely hard-core to watch this.  Maybe the opener out of curiosity but after that not interested.  It's like watching minor league baseball on TV between the San Antonio sandpipers vs the Tallahassee tornados.  Just not anything to watch unless you have personal interest like knowing someone who is playing in the game.

Don't look up those baseball teams they don't exist lol.

If there are extra points for hitting a drone with the ball - I'm in

Seriously though, I'm too cheap to pay to watch NFL, so sure as shit I ain't paying for this. I'd rather watch grass grow (literally; I reseeded my backyard yesterday and set up a camera and motion sensors to defend it from the damn turkeys LOL and I think that broadcast will be far more exciting than any summer "league").

Yahoo/ESPN aren't interested in or offering USFL fantasy draft leagues. The only place i could find is Alt Fantasy Sports, here's something like a guide on how to set up and run your league there. However, due to the smaller player pool, it has to be a 4 or 6-man league. Looking at the rosters, i only recognize a few names, so maybe we should pass, and besides, the real thing is just around the corner...less than 5 months left. 


I'm in for the body-cam footage, hope it comes with sound, need those popping sounds. I mean, i don't have high expectations, it will be low-scoring games that's for sure, but it can't be worse than the 2020 XFL season (which was canceled one month in due to covid). Speaking of XFL, i don't recall much of the games, but other things were entertaining, such as seeing a guy in the replay booth with an xbox controller running through the play, or player interviews on the sidelines:
