lol nothing against GB, just that Minn is stacked. And I wouldn't write off Detroit's Wild Card chances, plus Chicago is just kinda decent enough to maybe play spoiler late in the season.

KSTP St. Paul reports Vikings OL coach Tony Sparano has died at age 56.

Sparano died at his home Sunday morning. He was due to report to training camp on Wednesday. The long-time coach had been with the Vikings since 2016. Sparano served as the Dolphins' head coach for four seasons, leading the team to a division title in 2008. He also filled in as the Raiders' interim coach after Dennis Allen was fired midseason in 2014. Sparano leaves behind a wife, a daughter and two sons.

Heart Attack at 56 wow thats just damn

Rodney-2187 · 07-23-2018, 01:37 AM

I read that he went to the hospital with chest pains on Thursday. They released him and he died Sunday morning. Sounds like someone missed something.

Batman1980 · 07-23-2018, 01:49 AM

He was a big man so the heart attack may have been sudden.

Rodney-2187 · 07-23-2018, 02:32 AM

If he had a blockage, they should have detected it, right?

Batman1980 · 07-23-2018, 02:38 AM

I don't know much about hearts but there's a definite chance it was sudden. He had heart issues so it's possible he tested "fine" when he was there and then just died. Stuff like this is why my own father is freaking out about his own recent heart scares. That and heart conditions are genetic so his brother has heart issues and his father did as well.

Stuff like this is why I really can’t stand, maybe even hate, modern medicine.

Odd situation with Josh Gordon:

A Message from Josh Gordon:

To my Cleveland Browns and NFL Family,

I am reaching out to you all personally and letting you know that I am not only doing great physically but mentally as well. You will notice that I will not be in Cleveland for the start of training camp. Rest assured, this, too, is a part of my overall health and treatment plan. I appreciate the awesome support I have received from teammates, friends, fans, and the Browns organization. Just like you, I am excited to start the season and I have every intention of being ready and available to join my teammates soon to help bring winning football to our fans.

With the help of the NFL, NFLPA, and the Browns’ organization, I have been able to utilize the resources available to me that will ensure my well-being on and off the field. By continuing to follow the plan set up by our medical director and his team and taking this time before this season starts, we believe it will help me maintain the progress I’ve made for not only today but for many years to come.

Thank you all for your patience, love, and support! Go Browns!

Sincerely,

Josh Gordon

Sounds like an arrogant doctor cost someone their life.

ESPN's saying it's counseling to deal with mental stress and anxiety, which he's apparently been suffering from for a while and was using drugs to cope with anyway. Glad he's found a healthier alternative.

Marijuana is the healthiest alternative for this sort of thing for many people. I know a lot of people who self medicate with pot. Thankfully society is gradually becoming more accepting of it. I just wish pro sports would.

Fair enough. Glad he found something that the NFL is OK with, so he can actually play lol

Doubt either side would agree to it, but the NFL should offer to stop testing for marijuana and in exchange the players would agree to stand for the national anthem.

I don’t think Flash has done anything wrong. Can’t wait to see him light up the fields again.
