My favorite part about the ad is that the only place I know of that makes a Pumpkin Peach beer is Elysian, also known as the most recent craft brewery bought out by Budweiser. Budweiser was literally mocking their own company.

Revis will be interesting. He is $25 million against the cap for 2015 so either the Pats take that hit, or they cut him. He just got a ring and has been on record before about wanting to be the highest paid CB in the league. No way he restructures or takes a discount now. In short, congrats on your 2 year 55 million dollar CB Oakland! (39 million guaranteed).

He counts 5m against the cap if the cut him though, so taking the option only causes a 20m hit over the baseline. I seriously think they might do it if they can't renegotiate.


20m in savings vs. 5m in dead money for one year isn't that crazy though. When Revis signed his deal everyone expected a cut or restructure after this year regardless of the outcome. Now that he has a ring, the calculus changes significantly, and in all likelihood he is just going for top dollar. The Pats might be willing to pay him, but historically they won't.

An entire secondary and at least 2 front-7 guys, so not really.

Yeah, offensively they are pretty scary with Ben, Bell, and Brown. The defense needs a lot of work thoug.

It would be especially dubious in the case of team owners who also own large corporations who then sponsor a player to a ridiculous endorsement deal. The NFL views it as a way of circumventing the salary cap.. The NFLPA views it as a way to lower things like the franchise tag, the average salary, which in turn affects all players salaries.

I've got the upper tibia of a cadaver in one of my legs. Why can't they use cartilage from cadavers?

You can't really get cartilage to attach to bone, it has to grow from it.

You poke a bunch of holes in the bone, new cartilage grows from the blood that leaks out, but it's stiffer like scar tissue compared to skin and will never be as good or as flexible as the original cartilage

That's my very basic understanding of the procedure. swickles could probably (definitely) explain it better?

You know how the Fonz would elbow the jukebox to fix it? That is basically microfracture surgery, but half the time instead of the music coming on the jukebox explodes.

Fieldchat: Rodgers had an interview several weeks ago where he was pretty critical of and upset about Tampa Bay's field, which is a field that I've never ever heard criticized before.

Did they play after a stormy week or something? I could see a monsoon coming through in Florida in the fall and the field being lovely after that, but fine the rest of the year.

Both have their bad points. Flacco bombs a jump ball to Torrey Smith and gets the call, spot foul is bullshit

Smith burns past a CB for an easy TD opportunity on a perfectly thrown ball by Flacco but the CB just grabs Smith and tackles him 40 yards down the field, 15 yards is bullshit

Flacco is Elite

I would actually be ok with having two different DPI's, like how there is a roughing/running into the kicker distinction. 15 yards for DPI, spot foul for egregious DPI.

But don't discuss, because there's not much discussion available because it's true.

Are we talking career backups? Because that Rodgers kid was pretty good. I mean, still not at Batch level, but pretty good.

Someone made a really compelling argument a while back for Bradshaw, because he played half his career in the run first, rules favor the defense era and the other half after throwing was more popular and had good stats in both. Like he was the most perfectly adaptable QB, almost as if his mind was a blank slate...

A.J. Hawk arguably the worst player of the @PFF era. Owner of a -57.0 rating since 2007.

They should probably quantify that. I mean, he played well enough to remain a starter for all this time, so maybe call him the worst starter.
