Warren Sapp arrested for solicitation and assault in Arizona!  He has been fired from NFL Network, huzzah!  Warner and Faulk going also would be great.

 

Not that I wish Sapp any harm, I HATE him on TV. Good riddance.

 

 

He might be a Charger, but bwahahahaha

Chargers, Raiders propose shared NFL stadium in Carson

 

The San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, rivals on the field, are moving forward together on a plan to build a $1.7-billion NFL stadium in Carson that they will share.

The Chargers and Raiders will continue to seek public subsidies for new stadiums in their home markets, but they are developing a detailed proposal for a privately financed Los Angeles venue in the event they can't get deals done in San Diego and Oakland by the end of this year, according to the teams.

In a statement given to The Times on Thursday, the Chargers and Raiders said: “We are pursuing this stadium option in Carson for one straightforward reason: If we cannot find a permanent solution in our home markets, we have no alternative but to preserve other options to guarantee the future economic viability of our franchises.”

Joint Statement from the Raiders and the Chargers
 

  • We have both been working in our home markets to find a stadium solution for many years, so far unsuccessfully.
  • We remain committed to continuing to work in our home markets throughout 2015 to try to find publicly acceptable solutions to the long-term stadium issue.
  • We also both understand and respect the NFL’s relocation process, and we intend to adhere strictly to the relocation procedures that the League has set forth for Los Angeles.
  • In particular, we respect the right of the NFL’s owners to decide on all Los Angeles-related relocation issues and understand that any relocation application that is filed for Los Angeles must obtain the approval of three-fourths of the NFL’s owners.
  • Both teams have kept the NFL owners’ committee on Los Angeles, and the Commissioner, fully informed about our joint efforts.
  • We are pursuing this stadium option in Carson for one straightforward reason: If we cannot find a permanent solution in our home markets, we have no alternative but to preserve other options to guarantee the future economic viability of our franchises.
  • In short, for the remainder of 2015, we intend to move down two tracks simultaneously:
    • On track one, we will continue to work in our home markets to find permanent stadium solutions that are publicly acceptable.
    • On track two, we will work in Carson to preserve our options, and the future economic viability of our franchises, in the event that our efforts in our local markets fail.
  • Throughout this process we will respect the rules and procedures set forth by the League and defer completely to the ultimate decision of the NFL’s owners.

Incredible greed by both clubs, Oakland fans were screwed over once already, twice is criminal. 

 

They'll use this to blackmail politicians to ram thru public funding cuz they are too cheap to fund themselves. 

 

Dicks.

Interesting article on fivethirtyeight about the ten tiers of NFL QBs.

Elite (lots of great games, almost no bad games): Brady, Rodgers, Peyton

The Southerners (fewer great, more average): Brees, Ryan

Second Tiers (rare great games): Kaepernick, Schaub, Bridgewater, Luck, Room

On the Cusps (flat curves): Roethlisberger, Rivers, Wilson, Files

Mixed Bags (highly variable): Newton, Garrard, McNabb, Eli, Cutler, Flacco, Griffin

Roller Coasters (even more variable): Favre, Vick, Young

Bell Curve (mostly average): Dalton, Boyer, Palmer, Locker, Tannehill, Orton, Stafford, Glennon

Game Managers (more below average games): Alex Smith, Manuel, Campbell, Freeman, McCown, Hasselbeck, Sanchez

Also Rans (rare good games): Geno Smith, Henne, Anderson, Cassel, Fitzpatrick

Uh Oh (no good games yet): Bortles, Carr

Written by a complete idiot

Dez, Demaryius, Justin Houston, JPP, all Franchised for next year.

So Suh, Julius Thomas, DeMarco and Randall Cobb can test the market.

Kiko for McCoy is **** crazy. Serviceable RBs are so easy to come across, linebackers are not. And then you've gotta take into account the cap hit. So stupid

I'd much rather be facing an Eagles team with Alonso, than an Eagles team with McCoy, even if he was poor last season. Very happy about this trade, thank you Philly! It's an offensive league these days. A good offensive player will always be more valuable than a (poentially) good defensive player. Obviously the cap side of things will be a good thing for the Eagles, though.

 

Shame there isn't more player for player trades in the NFL.
