2021-2022 NFL Season

This is tough to watch.

Payton needs to just white flag and run with his backup RBs and punt. Don’t get Book or Kamara murdered out there

Nobody cares about other people's fantasy football, but just perspective for how insane last night was.  I am in league semi's, was leading by 27 going into last night and my opponent had the Miami defense.  I had a 99.8% chance of winning...I won by 2.  I almost threw up when it appeared Miami had scored their second defensive TD.  Just absurd.

[Jockey]

I wonder if any team has ever had an easier 7 game schedule than Miami has had for their 7 game winning streak.

Houston - Brissett
Baltimore - Lamar on a bad ankle
Jets - Flacco
Carolina - Newton
Giants - Glennon
Jets - Zack Wilson
Saints - Ian Book

A litany of the worst QBs in the NFL!

It's like they're playing in the NFC North.

If I’m a team in contention, I wouldn’t have my six or seven (some number) top players show up to my practice facility.

I’d rather lose my second string linebacker to Covid than my starting QB.

The playoffs will be as much about who’s available than anything else.

Carson Wentz on COVID list, out Sunday.
Hoo boy, would sure be something if a dangerous Colts team now misses the playoffs because Wentz wouldn't get vaccinated.

This is huge for the Raiders chances. Tiebreaker advantage head to head with Colts if they can win Sunday. It’d also get them to 7-4 in the conference (which is huge).

The Eagles are keeping quarterbacks Jalen Hurts, Gardner Minshew and Reid Sinnett in separate rooms at the NovaCare Complex amid the surge in coronavirus cases across the country and the NFL.

Thank goodness Rodgers is immunized.

Jeff Dickerson has died. I am in shock, he was such a good dude, great reporter, did a lot of national ESPN shows. Man…

Such an awful story. 

[Herman Cain]

Cam Newton after yesterday's game, almost surely his last in Charlotte:

“Football has been good to me. I was able to walk away unscathed. I don’t want to sound like I’m retiring, but I’ve had some great memories.”

I think he got paid close to $10 million for this season. So pretty good bucks for not getting hurt .

RIP John Madden. Ultimate football guy.

RIP John Madden. Ultimate football guy.

Just did a huge documentary on the guy and then BOOM, he dies.

Seriously, great coach and best announcer to ever do it in my mind.

I think he got paid close to $10 million for this season. So pretty good bucks for not getting hurt .

The $10M was with all incentives, including leading the Panthers to the Super Bowl. I think he'll end up with right around $6M ... which still isn't chump change for a QB who can't throw any more.

A little sad to see the end fall so hard for Cam, but at least it's only the end of a career ... unlike those who lost their lives.

RIP Jeff Dickerson, a real good guy. And Madden, too.

[Uncle Rico]

The impact John Madden made on football was immeasurable.  He was the voice of a generation and often imitated but never matched.  Was he a caricature at the end?  Probably, but between his presence in the booth and the game that bears his name, he’ll never be forgotten

I get what you were doing with the BOOM, but the man was old as hell.  Was expected.

Just a joke.

He was 85. Old, not old as hell. It will be a while, maybe never that someone has as large of an impact on football and broadcasting as Madden

[GB Warrior]

Grew up on John Madden and Pat Summerall, and Madden's color commentary defined football for me very early on. I don't think anyone will ever come close to touching his impact as a color commentator.

[wadesworld]

I cracked up. Read it in the Madden voice. Sad day.

Yeah, but he was pretty obese for a really long time.  Kind of surprised he lasted this long.

Prayers for his son.

When I worked for the Bears, on game days, I would handle all kinds of requests at the entrance of the players/team parking lot. If you knew the old Soldier Field, the north side had siphoned off the “older” version of the stadium, and that entrance led you to the locker rooms or up Halas Hallway, which was a long corridor to the elevator that led to the press box.

In 2000, home season opener was against the Giants at 3:15. At around 2pm, I got asked to find a golf cart, and wait. I found a cart, walkie talkie said “can you go to the Madden Cruiser in the lot and give a ride to Summerall & Madden to the media elevator?”. I merely said “hello” to both of them, I remember thinking Summerall didn’t look like he was in great health, but it was a lifetime thrill to drive a golf cart with Madden in it.

RIP to the man who’s influence over all of football for generations is second to none.
