2015-16 NFC North/NFL thread

If I took your weak azz approach, I'd have to ignore Sultan, Brandi and Vogue.  They are valuable hoops posters and I would be missing something.

Muta, him I could block.

The tolerance of lefties, whatever.

Vogue has never posted anything of substance.

Megatron out.

I haven't posted on the Politics board in weeks, and have no plans to go back there, if that's any help.

The Lions will now have wasted the careers of one of the top running backs of all time and one of the top wide receivers of all time.    Because they are the Lions.

But hey, at least Yzerman and Isiah had great runs in Detroit!

[tower912]

As did Trammell and Whitaker.

No doubt.  I've said that many times.  Perhaps he can use a retirement threat to force a trade.

Johnny Manziel is soon to be released by the Browns and was just dumped by his agent (which is incredibly rare).

Has production on his 30 for 30 started yet?

they probably have started the 30 for 30, but they need him to go into and out of rehab a few more times, maybe jail/prison for a couple of stints after he has some maurice clarett-like moments. 

if people didn't see this one coming...this had crash n burn written all over it when they were talking about his legendary drinking back in college-that was too much fun to give up for, oh...., a number of million dollars??  the dude, with all his success up to that point, still had some real self image issues, maybe even some "little man" syndrome going on.  nothing a little money and alcohol couldn't take care of-eh'na

I keep thinking of a guy like Brett Favre through this whole thing. He wasn't nearly as messed up as Manziel appears to be (talent gap as well), but I sure do see a lot of similarities. I just think if I were Favre, having straightened my life out (twice), and having ascended to the highest levels of success, I think I'd be on a plane, or at least on the phone, seeing if I couldn't try to help this guy.

He clearly has some ability as a player, but is/has been known for all the wrong things, and heading down a path with only a bad ending. Unfair of me to suggest what Brett Favre (or whomever) should do? Absolutely. Just saying if I were in that position, I thinks I would at least take a shot at saving this guys life (and potentially have him realize some success as a football player).

  i agree 100%.  i don't know what brett's deal is(the extent of his issues/treatments...), but for brett to do that would be not only noble, but would help brett solidify his own life at the same time.  that's why in previous topics regarding substance abuse, maybe they have suggested and/or called chris herren?  if chris were asked and manziel would accept, herren would jump at the opportunity to help a fellow addict
