    I thought this was a funny opening to an article about the NFLPA choosing a new leader:

    Vince Wilfork is currently unemployed. Bobby Bonilla will be receiving paychecks from the New York Mets until he is 217 years old. The reason for this is that Vince Wilfork couldn't hit a fucking curveball. Or, less obliquely, the reason for this is that the NFL Players Association has done a terrible job of protecting its members' interests.

    That's why they call it the NFL.......Not For Long.......league. The Patriots released him to test free agency and if no one signs him or if he wants to return to the Patriots for less money he can and will do so. Besides he can make that money back if the Patriots again go deep into the playoffs instead of a team such as Miami.

    The better story is that Cobb is staying with the Packers. 4 yrs, 40 million. Not a bad payday.

    I agree, this may not be as bad but could turn into that deal the Redskins did with Haynesworth. Long gone from the league.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^What a shock indeed. I figured he was a burger and milkshake kind of guy to get that body. He's a FA too with a 10 game suspension looming over him. I hope he saved some money as his career is over.

    Frank Gore switching to Colts with what appears to be the exact same offer financially that the Eagles gave him ... reports that he and Andre Johnson agreed to go together.

    Usually wouldn't be excited about signing a 31 year old RB, but after watching the Trent Richardson experiment for two years, I'm jumping over the moon. And if Johnson signs, he gets to continue to play in Colts/Texans games where the Texans lose.

    Why did he back out of the eagles deal? Seems shady.

    Reports are that Johnson and Gore are good friends who played together at the U and wanted to play with each other again. Gore made the deal Sunday. Johnson got cut Monday.

    I'm guessing that Johnson prefers to catch footballs tossed by Andrew Luck more then the Foles / Sanchez combo.

    Wow.

    Saints essentially paid a Graham a $4M one year contract. Seattle pays $8M/$9M/$10M over the next three years. I'm sure Brees isn't happy.

    If the Eagles make major improvements with the moves that Chip Kelly is making, he will have proven to us he is the football genius he makes himself out to be. According to my magic 8-ball, "my sources say no".

    I'm surprised he didn't go after Derek Carr. It would make no sense for the Raiders to trade him ... but it is the Raiders so anything is possible. He could have played a Jedi mind trick and convinced them that Mariota will blossom into a top 3 NFL QB and still be available at the 5th spot in the draft.

    You guys remember when the Eagles had Nick Foles, Lesean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, & Desean Jackson then they lost all of them? That was awesome

    To trade away one of the best RB's in the game and then trade for the human pinata of QBs (who is owed $16.5M this year) ... am I missing something here?

    He never actually agreed with Eagles. He visited with Eagles, they offered a contract he couldn't sign and went home. He told his family and friends he was going to sign with the Eagles. One of his family/friends leaked the info and it was reported as a done deal. This is all the medias fault and for Gore having someone in his family/friend that leaked it.

    I also saw he changed his mind based on Chip Kelly being too controlling. Plus as a older FA I'm sure seeing the team trade away all of their top performers couldn't make them too attractive.

    I am floored by some of these moves. The nfl has officially turned into the nba. Teams don't even keep their studs anymore.

    What the fuck are the Eagles thinking? Bradford has pretty much been a bust. Foles is a pretty decent qb. The NFL is going to have a very different look next year.

    I don't like chip Kelly from his Oregon days beating my beloved USC teams. That stated I hope his insane moves somehow pay off. Would be like taking a shit in a hat and having it turn into a bouquet of roses on Vday for your best girl. These moves seem to make no sense at all and it would be awesome to see them turn out to be great.
    Sam Bradford.....that's fucking amazing!
    The love he receives is the love that is saved
