JJ Watt is a decent dude and very charitable, but I’m SHOCKED he took this retirement path and not a corny full year documentary, preferably with a Fort Minor soundtrack.Incredible player at his peak, first ballot HOFer, but man JJ has always LOVED the JJ story and brand
I wonder if Brady goes to Vegas next season.
Brady gets to play against a Panthers D on Sunday that just lost all-pro-level shutdown CB Jaycee Horn. They already were without starting CB Donte Jackson. Carolina will be trying to defend Godwin, Evans, Gage, Jones and Rudolph with a bunch of scrubs and/or guys playing out of position. Panthers even just dug 35-year-old Josh Norman out of mothballs -- he had been mopping floors in his mom's restaurant and hasn't played football in a year.If Brady can't produce significant offense and a victory against that pathetic group of DBs, he should just effen retire.
He was actually working at his coffee shop.
Yea, also not sure why the dig on a dude who made $70MM in his career who is actually being active and productive in an humble unglamorous fashion after leaving the league.
From the Charlotte Observer article after the signing:Norman has gone from working at the Omni Coffee & Eggs restaurant his mother owns in Atlanta — where he has done everything from sweep the floors to make the coffee to meet with business partners — to signing with the Carolina franchise that made him a fifth-round draft pick in 2012 and turned him into a star during the Super Bowl season of 2015.It was not meant as a "dig." It's a fact. And every article I read called it his mother's coffee shop -- which is what it is, even if Norman bought it and gave it to her (I don't know if that's the case or not). Norman was one of my favorite players on the 2015 Super Bowl team. He went on to less on-field success but he made a lot of money and he seems to still have a passion for football. And yet I still think my take is valid: The most accomplished QB in football history and a group of well-regarded receivers should be able to torch a secondary that's so depleted by injury that they were forced to bring back a guy who hasn't even taken part in an NFL practice for almost a full year.
Carr to Giants?
He open a coffee shop near Cam Newton's spot in ATL as well. But even if you didn't mean it, highlighting the stereotypical lowest man on the totem pole grunt work instead of the fact that he was being a jack of all trades to help his mom while learning to open his new spot is just crappy phrasing. If you cant see the difference between "working at his mom's restaurant" and "mopping the floors", then you're purposefully being stubborn. Especially for someone who is supposedly one of your "favorites". Maybe you're just still a bit bitter he took the big money to leave Carolina for DC.
Kevin Warren would be a good hire by the Bears to be team president.
No. They are sticking with Daniel Jones.
Imagine thinking Carson Wentz gives you a better shot at the playoffs
This is definitely a Cabo/Cancun game by the Bears, which doesn’t speak well to the coaching staff. Losing is obviously fine, but some definite looks of giving up, which is no bueno.
