The NFL Shield At Midfield

Tepper brought us Motley Crue doing hair metal karaoke and concerts with double headliners Bryce Bentley and Bentley Bryce doing their hits "My Truck Ain't Fancy" and "She Ain't Fancy" though.

Yeah if a few things break the wrong way (Legette doesn't take the next step, AT decides to hang it up, the Renfrow project doesn't work out) we're leaning hard on TMac, Jimmy Horn, and who else, like David Moore going into 2026? Don't deal somebody like Coker just to make a bad defense slightly better. You have a cheap, young corps growing up together right now. As it stands our WR corps is looking promising but it isn't like we're the Bengals with Higgins and Chase either, where we've got two number 1 WRs we can lean on and put low risk/high reward late round and UDFA receivers under them on the depth chart to see if we hit on one. In a lot of ways we don't truly know what we have yet. On paper it looks good but, well we've seen that before.

You couldn't have asked for a better send-off for the Prince of Darkness than that final concert a few weeks ago. We all knew he'd go someday, but this is truly the end of an era. Anyway I know what I'm going to be spinning for a while:

The rest of the NFL at 12:59 PM on opening day:

"I don't want some silky man in his silky scarves trying to trick me into having fun" -Hank Hill, and Bryce Young apparently

Should be AD, LT, and Frank Gore imo. That "practice squad" slot is where you put your hipster picks like CMC.

No Frank Gore with his 16k rushing yards either. Joke list.

He got paid a playoff bonus in 2014* too, don't forget that part. *technically 2015, but you know what I mean

Where's that dude who used to show up in all these threads saying that Greg Hardy is only (x) years old and there are other guys who did bad stuff and they're still allowed to play. Dude is fuging cooked. I could only imagine what a scan of his brain would turn up. It's been said that he was always a little off, but that Burfict hit did him in as a functional person.

It was Zack Sanchez. Wikipedia lists him at 5'11" which I think is bullshit. Dude looked like Bryce Young playing cornerback.

Daryl Worley and some tiny dude whose name I can't remember. If the guy whose name I forgot played a single snap in a regular season game I missed it. edit: holy poo I just looked and Worley was on the Titans' roster last year. I thought he had been out of the league for at least three or four years by now.

NFL Network is 100% no poo showing Super Bowl LI right now

File another one in the "how the fug did nobody catch that" drawer.

Seeing him in UNC gear still looks weird to me

The rich, famous dudes who get busted doing this stuff could discretely pay to fug Insta baddies, models, and porn actresses all day, but they don't. They choose not to because they get off on the coercion angle. It's less about sex and more about the power imbalance and forcing someone to do something against their will.

I wonder how he'll make sure that all the attention is on him.

On the topic of him not talking about or acknowledging it, every lawyer on earth would tell a regular citizen to do that in this situation, let alone a well known NFL player and national media guy. No chirping on social media, no comments to reporters or media outlets, no talking to any of the parties involved. Whatever counsel he has has probably told him to shut the hell up, because anything he says can only hurt him.

Alienation of affection I think it's called, NC is one of a few states left that still has it. When I was in high school this teacher had an affair with a coach and he got sued for it by her husband.

I was trying to remember that guy's name watching the draft on Saturday. Never played a snap iirc. I mean poo Amini Silatolu was trash but at least he got on the field.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yep if I was him I'd be signing over my assets to someone else faster than Buck Strickland right now.

Accessibility and willingness as well, that's how a ton of workplace affairs start. He could probably easily and discretely have sex with this woman. Or he used to be able to as of like two days ago lol. Steve Smith is definitely famous and rich, but he's a retired NFL player in his mid-40s. It isn't like it's the 80s and he's the lead singer of some massively famous hair metal band or something. There won't be a throng of Hawaiian Tropic models waiting outside his hotel room in every city in the country.

That was absolute horse poo, holy fug the NFL is rigged

fug YEAH THERE'S MY PRESIDENT MAGA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
