He and Larry Fitzgerald were an amazing tandem to watch for the longest time. Neither were the flashiest but they just got the job done.

What a demoralizing Sunday night.

He was a great player.

Bet he signs with Arizona and plays one more year. Probably won't happen but with Mathews down he wanted out of buffalo.

You think he has a chance to get into the hall? I'm leaning toward no. Backlog of receivers.

Speaking of the Jets, I saw Nick Mangold at the Bethany Boathouse(in Bethany Beach DE) on Friday. Dude is like a mountain! Even after a few drinks I couldn't muster the courage to lobby him to join Philly.
Plus he was with his lovely family, so not going to disturb family time.

Commissioner Roger Goodell close to finalizing 5 year extension through 2024, I hope Jerry and Roger Kraft block it.

Record profits for the league every year Jerry and Robert know who is responsible as much as we hate him Goodell will get that extension and probably a raise.

Unfortunately, you're right.

Yeah, dude is a legit MONSTER. I know he was injured, but I'm honestly surprised no one's signed him by now. Sh*t, from what I'm hearing from Saturday night (didn't see the game and sure I don't want to), the NYJ should re-sign him!

Heh Dak says he's in the best shape he's ever been in and it sounds like they're on the same page now, unlike last year. Should be a good year to draft Dez in round 4 and use him as a near WR1.

The average draft position right now for Dez is 20.5 in ESPN leagues and 18.7 for Yahoo leagues, so for most leagues he's going in the second round.

Yeah, remains to be seen how much the Zeke suspension will hurt him. It should mean more passing but that also means more double teams for Dez and he's always had trouble beating those due to his lack of top-end speed.

Unbelievable. Should be unemployed.

While true, I don't see how he had much involvement with that.

Dez is a huge part of why I won the championship in my league last year.

Got my cousin's fantasy draft tonight, he's on a Solar Eclipse Road Trip so I got roped into drafting his team for him. I don't think my league's drafting for at least another week.

Dez is the reason I lost in the finals of my league last year. I went into the Sunday night game with a 24 point lead and all my opponent had was Dez. Dez had 4 catches for 70 yards plus he threw a touchdown, which was worth 25.4 in my league and caused me to lose by 1.4.

That's almost how much I defeated my opponent - and all I had remaining was Dez

The big problem is that the general public (Us) have no idea what Goodell does on a day-to-day basis. About all we know is that he gets booed at the draft and hands down lame punishments.

For all I know, he is directly responsible for a huge chunk of the increasing profits in ways that I can't even fathom. People like Kraft and Jerry would know that.
