Woo maybe it's the Dolphins / Jets game.

Oh, there is a lot of detail you fucking liar.

For this upcoming season?s Jacksonville Jaguars-Buffalo Bills game in Week 7, the NFL will sell the rights to a digital distribution company, be it Youtube, Facebook or another company. The game will start at 9:30 a.m. eastern time and will be played in London.

So they always pick dogshit teams for London because they can't sell out at home? Is that the reason? Because it's genius for $$$ but stupid as fuck for NFL fans. "Here London, here's our most popular sport with our worst and 7th worst team!"

Send the Colts/Patriots or Greenbay/Seattle game there or something. It'd fuck us American fans over, sure, but at least their 1 game a year wouldn't be a suckfest.

I recall the Pats and the Steelers both having to go to London in recent memory. The really shitty part is if one team loses a home game from their schedule. I think one of them always does.

Some decent teams in there, I can't remember especially year-to-year every team, but the 2013 49ers and each one of the Pats years weren't bad. Everything else is pretty horrendous. It looks like they just pull from the AFC East (time different I suppose) and then random teams...and Jaguars. The Jaguars is 100% because they can't sell out their stadium, though.

The pats went in 2009 and beat the bucs 35-7

then went in 2012 and beat the rams 45-7

good games, for me.

Wondering if Peterson would rather retire than play as a Viking cause it doesn't sound like he will get to go anywhere else unless some team coughs up some serious shit.


Agent feels its best interest to stay in Minnesota | ProFootballTalk
Why would he even retire though? The Vikings are looking the best they've looked since Brett Favre was there. I don't think this is a Barry Sanders type situation where he's going to be stuck on a dogshit team until he retires, they actually look good.

J.J. Watt, Texans Agree to New Contract: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction | Bleacher Report

"According to ESPN's Field Yates, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year saved the Texans $8 million against the salary cap by converting his roster bonus into a signing bonus."

I like this move, but I wish they did it well before FA started. It would have given them a chance to sign one of the big money WRs to compliment DeAndre Hopkins.

Current Texans needs are (in no particular order) WR2, ILB, OLB, G, C, QB.

I still think they are going to be targeting a WR, but it will be the likes of a Crabtree, Jennings, or Nicks.

Brandon Spikes is the only name that really pops out at me for a linebacker to target.

We're still a little ways away.

It seems to be a pride thing for him, which is absolutely absurd given the situation, but AP wants to play this rhetoric where we didn't have his back...enough...after he beat his son and now he wants out. Seems to me like he just wants to play someplace warm weather and he's going to use this whole legal situation as leverage to get there. The insanity of that is he thinks he has leverage after being completely in the wrong, but AP has a god complex so strong that he could never be convinced of that.

The relationship has definitely soured but he is pretty much stuck. I doubt any team will offer up what the Vikings will consider a good trade. He needs to suck it up and play for the Vikings or pretty much quit.

I don't understand why you wouldn't let him go or try and trade. In any business if you have someone who doesn't want to be there it does not make for a good environment.

He wants more guaranteed money. That's literally all this is about. He is due some absurd amount this year non guaranteed and the Vikings should tell him to go fuck himself and trade him then draft one of half dozen or more talented RBs in this years draft.
