I read a report today saying it wasn't a sucker punch, and that Geno was in IK's face, "Smith was in Enemkpalis face and pointed/touched his face, which led to IK punching him" according to a source"...

If someone is in my space like that trying to come at me there getting punched too... Geno is a dumb ass for putting himself in that situation and deserved every bit of it... (well, actually, I wouldn't be throwing punches if I had $500k on the line )

From what is being leaked out, it doesn't seem like Geno had the complete respect of that locker room. I'm sure more will come out over time.

Lol at Colts spending nearly Dez/Demaryius money on Hilton.

Good. After they give Luck $23mil+ a season, they'll be screwed. Their window is this year. After this year, they'll be set back for a couple more seasons, at least.

This is every bad as the Mike Wallace deal. You don't spend that cash on a one trick pony WR. Same reason I never wanted us to give in to CJ's demands.

The one thing about the Hilton deal is that it's an extension onto the final year of his current deal, so in reality it's a 6-year, $66 million deal. While the structure of the deal hasn't been come out yet I'm sure the $39 million isn't fully-guaranteed, so my guess is it's more like a 3-year, $30 million deal, and after that the team can decide each year whether to keep him.

I've been saying the same thing about the Colts. They need to win it all in these next couple of years because Luck and now with this Hilton signing is going to eat up a lot of money. There was a reason they went after Gore, Johnson, Cole this offseason because they are going for it now but if they don't get it they could be in some trouble.

They're all in on this season.

Idk how much longer Gore and AJ can hold up anyways. It's likely one or both won't even be on the team next season... due to regression and the team's cap issues.

Isnt Luck in the qb category with rodgers brady manning where as long as he is there that team has a shot.

No.

Not yet at least... The Colts have a shot this year. Although I wouldn't put money on them.

I'm not gonna look it up, but the dude has like a 1:3 TD:INT ratio in the playoffs, and I'm pretty sure he went 12/33 with 4 INTs against the Pats last year. Something like that.

He still has a ways to go, but everyone keeps considering him the best QB. Couldn't be further from the truth. Now, if you were to pick one current player to start a franchise it would be Luck just because he's a top 10 young QB with potential to be the best.

I hope Luck/Mariota becomes one of the next best rivalries. Not many good ones left.

I'm pretty upset at the fact that the Packers @ 49ers tickets are so high!! I really wanted to see the pack, but not gonna drop almost $200 on 400 level seats. This is legit ticketmaster too. Sucks!

For preseason?

Dude, if you pay $200 for a preseason game you better be a millionaire. Otherwise that's a highway robbery.

Regular season lol imo $200 for that game way at the top is ridiculous. In 2013 I paid $90ish for upper level seats for pack @ 9ers

Hope the Pack take down the Pats, even being pre-season 'n all. I got a lot riding on the game. I'm a huge Packer fan. Anyone whose team is playing Packers and wants to wager, I don't know, a brand new blu-ray purchase for the winner, contact me. Always makes the games more interesting.

I'm also hoping SB50 is the Packers vs. Patriots and not some 2nd or 3rd market 'made it by a miracle' to the Super Bowl against a mega-non-stoppable type team game.

Other predictions for the season: Brady-drama extends into regular reason. Johnny Manziel implodes and is let go or something, I'm not totally sure what they can do from a legal point. Vikings become a bigger contender than Chicago, like that will be hard anyway. I hate the idea of an LA stadium and teams going there, if two teams do go I hope one of them is not the Raiders. Speaking of the Raiders I doubt this year, (who knows though) but maybe next year they become a West Coast team to contend with if they keep their QB. Wild card team for me is Tampa Bay with their #1 QB pick, will he live up to the type?

Dudes, add me as a friend on here if you like to wager on games.

No, not this year or next year. The people you mentioned are Superbowl-winning caliber QB's. NFL stars. Andrew Luck will get there, he's on his way, he's got the skills, he just needs an incredible season, a Superbowl win or two and then he's in the conversation.

Luck was only drafted in 2012. (Wilson was drafted same year, 2012. Cam Newton beat him by a year.)
Aaron Rodgers (my personal favorite) was drafted in 2005.
Eli Manning was drafted in 2004.
Brady was drafted in 2000.

Basically, Luck needs to put in his time, he's still young. What I appreciate about these QB's though is that they stuck with the teams that drafted them and obviously the teams have been good to them to keep 'em. Luck just needs that seniority. It's these huge salaries that are making them seeming like they're seasoned hall of fame-caliber players. In my opinion, Russell Wilson should not almost be getting Aaron Rodger's type contract money. Sure, he's been to the big game twice in a row, but no ring and he hardly has that rookie stink off him.

Peyton Manning is a whole other animal. This could be Manning's last or second to last year, he was drafted in '98. Realistically, I could put him in the category above considering he's a very loyal guy and only been with two teams his entire career so far.

Also, SB50 (it is officially "Super Bowl 50" this year instead of doing the roman numeral) this year and everything, it was the Pack vs. the Chiefs in Super Bowl I. I hope the Pack makes it either way, but boy wouldn't it be special if it was the Chiefs too, although if it were to be the Pats it would surely generate more money for the San Francisco Bay Area.

Just went nuts watching the game now after that touchdown. Pack 9, Pats 8. Not much, less than 4min to half-time.
