I am moving to PHX in a couple of weeks. Vegas is 5 hours away. But I am not sure how often I would go. Way too expensive, Climate is no different than PHX. Much of the outdoors stuff can be done in PHX. Why go to Vegas to play poker when I have 3 casinos with big poker rooms within 40...

Why don't you think Odunze to the Bears makes sense? Allen is getting up in age, I would much rather get as many weapons for Caleb. Having K Allen, DJ Moore, Odunze, Kmet, Everett and Swift......man, CHI could be very entertaining to watch. But if they didn't take Odunze, I think I would...

I was in Vegas in 1999 during the 1st weekend of the NCAAA basketball tournament and the Evander Holyfield/Lennox Lewis heavyweight fight was going on. Awesome. Buddy and me both put $50 on Holyfield to win by decision. We watched the fight at one of the casinos, it went the distance and it...

I wouldn't have a problem with hypotheticals. Say for example an owner is interested in Chase and says to me "would you be interested in a package that includes Josh Allen? You really need a QB and you're stacked at receiver" Something like this can spark a conversation, since at least I can...

This. If you're interested in trading for one my players in a dynasty (or in redraft), make an offer. That offer will tell me if you're serious or not. If I am asked, "who do you want for xxx?".....I always answer "at least market value". It's up to the other owner to decide what "market...

This. And I knew the Bears would screw this up. They waited way too long and totally misread the market for Fields. You need to get at least a 3rd round pick, preferably a 2nd rounder.

Agree, I would do both, unless MIN REALLY likes McCarthy and they are willing to trade up to ensure they get him. Much rather gamble on Fields at a cheaper price.

LOL. Sure Darnold is a cheap option, be we all know what he is......he's terrible. I am with Gally, why not trade a 2nd rounder for Fields? Much more upside.

Maybe Evans just loves it in TB and wants to finish his career there. Glad to see TB take care of him with a reasonable offer. Has been such a good player for the last 10 years.

For the most part, I really don't care if they focus on Swift. This isn't the first time that a NFL player is dating a superstar, and it won't be the last. I don't like Taylor Swift at all. Don't like her music, don't think she that hot, she's super annoying, but I get it she's a pop icon...

Oh I don't fault Flowers for trying to stretch the ball near the goalline. Great play by KC, agree.

I will never understand BAL's game plan. The best way to beat Mahomes is to keep him on the sidelines. Why not run the ball more and control the clock? Jackson's success throwing the ball downfield comes off of the threat to run the ball. BAL just played right into KC's hands. KC just let...

It certainly can happen. You need a decent QB who doesn't make mistakes, a good running game and a really good defense. SF made the Super Bowl in 2020 with Jimmy G as their average QB (at best). But it is just harder in this era, since you pretty much can't hit the QB without drawing a 15...

This. When I was in high school, my dad had Bears season tickets through work, and he took me to the Bears Giants playoff game in 1985 (year the Bears won the Super Bowl), the game Landetta whiffed the punt. It was about 5 degrees with -20 wind chill. It was awesome. Place was electric. You...

As I said before, the offense is much different now than in the early part of the season. BUF is throwing less, running more and using Davis or Shakir as the deep ball and Diggs mostly gets underneath passes (and is competing with Kincaid, Cook and Knox for those targets). Teams focused on him...
