Video games, Movies, TV shows, the beach, board games, exercise etc. Many of ways to escape my man.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Antonio Brown’s eight game suspension could be extended if the league obtains new evidence in his pending civil suit.
Brown has a September 15 hearing for the allegations made against him by his former personal trainer. His current suspension was for two separate personal conduct violations, but the NFL is still monitoring this one. It’s a reminder that Brown has legal hurdles to clear before teams think about signing him. Brown may have to wait until after his suspension clears to land a second chance.

Movies/tv shows push their agendas too & its raining so there goes the beach....exercise.

We are now only 13 hrs away from kirky becoming yet another media moron.

March 2020:
Herbstreit discussed the potential of all football being canceled this year during an appearance on ESPN Radio:
"I'll be SHOCKED if we have NFL football this fall, if we have college football. I'll be so surprised if that happens."

All sports should be cancelled and no players paid. It might get sports focused on sports again but I doubt it! I miss sports being about sports. Not all this other Nightly news BS!

Sports are still sports, players are just more willing to use their platforms and likeness to make positive changes to society. Whether you agree with it or not, this isn’t going away anytime soon.

Is what it is I guess.

[dcowboy7]

But who cares what players do/say.

You know like that saying goes -- i wouldnt join a club that has you for a member.

Most players arent rocket scientists thats why they play with a ball.

Ngakoue to the Vikings for a 2nd and a conditional 5th.

Jaguars agreed to trade franchise DE Yannick Ngakoue to Minnesota for a second- and conditional fifth-round pick that could go as high a third-round pick, league sources tell ESPN. Ngakoue still has to sign his tender, but trade is in place and Ngakoue is expected to be a Viking.

Quite a trade for the Vikings.

Agreed to take a pay cut as well to make the trade happen.

As a Viking fan I'm super excited about this!

Fournette released by Jacksonville.

I don’t blame Jacksonville, aside from injuries, this guy has major attitude problems.

I remember a few years ago when we played the Jaguars, he was more interested in fighting than playing a football game.

[Batman1980]

I'm stunned they did it without being able to get any compensation for him first, I could see him latching on somewhere else and revitalizing his career.

Jalen Reagor coming along very nicely. Usually our WRs wait til the seasons starts to get hurt, but the initiative it takes to get hurt even before playing a game is really promising. Glad to see he's fitting right in.

They tried noone was willing to trade

[Batman1980]

Well he's clearly not the franchise bell cow they thought but he's at least a decent back-up, granted he needs to get better at scoring and gaining yards that aren't there.

He wanted to join his new BFF Carson Wentz on the sideline with the training staff. Miles Sanders also injured, I'm sure that's a touch worrying for fantasy drafters seeing Reagor and Sanders nicked up as drafts are wrapping up before the season.

A Philly story:

- Hurts take 1st team reps because Wentz has lower body injury
- Both starting OTs and RG are injured and gave up pressure
- Hurts throws INT and Jalen Reagor gets injured making the tackle after.

At this moment, Eagles are now practicing without their top picks in the last five drafts:

Reagor, Dillard, Goedert, Barnett, Wentz.
