I just found out that my parents own a condo in the same small complex as Jack Del Rio's parents. He apparently is an absent son that never visits.

Well, that's not a really a surprising take form a pair of shut-in parents whose son has coached in the NFL for almost 20 years.

Silence Isn't Golden, By Golden Tate

quote:

You don’t know me.

Sure, by watching the NFL and playing fantasy football, you are aware of me as No. 15 on the Detroit Lions. You saw me win a Super Bowl last season with the Seattle Seahawks. You comment on my on-field celebrations and my perceived brashness. You frame what you think of me based on that, and how I perform, and what’s said and written about me by newspapers and magazines and blogs and talking heads.

But you don’t know me, Golden Tate, the person. What I’m all about. You don’t how much I care about my relationships with the fans and city in which I play.

Well said, Golden.

quote:

I did not have an affair with Russell Wilson’s wife, nor did I have anything to do with his divorce. That is laughable for anyone who knows us. His ex-wife, Ashton, is still best friends with my girlfriend. Russell and I were good friends when I was in Seattle, on and off the field — he knows the rumors about me were unfounded, damaging to my reputation, and an attack on my character. Anyone who circulated that rumor was just plain irresponsible.

There was also a social media frenzy concerning me and Percy Harvin. To set the record straight, I was not punched by Percy during Super Bowl week last year, nor did I have a black eye, as was speculated on by various Internet reports. I even saw a photo of my face that was photoshopped with a mark on it! Percy and I did have a confrontation, yes, but no punches were thrown, and it certainly never rose to the level that was erroneously reported by certain outlets. I highly respect his level of play. He’s one of the best in the game!

Oh.

EDIT: The NFL will burn in Hell for denying us Tate's return to Seattle.

As a Jaguar fan... eh, I actually don't have anything against Jack Del Rio, he's ok. Not great. Raiders might be ok, especially if Mike Smith becomes his DC and he finds a good offensive coordinator. That last part is the most in question thing, he doesn't have a good track record there.

I thought the repairing of Del Rio and Fox would win a Bowl for Denver. The problem was Fox being so conservative that he held everyone down. As far as everything you would want in a coach.

It'll be really great to have Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifert back healthy next season (hopefully). Too bad our qb will still stink (probably).

I know there were teams with more injury issues then the bengals this year but it was pretty rough. Burfict being gone suuuuuucked too. Pretty worried about Paul Guenther and the line. Hopefully we go for a pass rusher in the first or second round, and some more lb depth would be nice too.

Dalton will be OK as always. He'll be better with healthy receivers.

They'll probably get a pass rusher in the second/third rounds again, as usual. They'll likely get more production from Clarke but Hunt is an old turd.

Also gonna need a TE because they probably won't resign Gresham. I wouldn't trust Eifert to last a full 16 game season, and the backup right now is Kevin Brock.

Mo sanus drop off after AJ came back was baffling to me. I know be was going to get less targets but he was dropping passes like crazy, didn't even look like the same guy. Combined with James Wright getting hurt and being down to nobodies like sanzenbacher, cobi hamilton, or Greg littles corpse...yeesh. get well soon Marvin "owns" Jones.

At least I hopefully will never have to watch jermaine gresham in stripes again

Agreed about margus hunt though, that guy makes me sad. Maybe we can get old man geathers outta here too. Hahaha

I know, the Bengals.com guy said it's mutual to split with Gresham. That sucks so hard. I wish Bengals fans weren't so stupid about the dude, he was great at what he did. They'll draft another TE but it'll probably be in the later rounds where blocking only TEs will still be available since Eifert will be the pass catcher.

objectively speaking jermaine gresham isn't terrible. That being said dez bryant was still on the board and I'm still bitter.

Sidenote, my tablet autocorrected dez bryant to "sex bryant" which is exciting

Maybe they figure John Elway is gonna keep loving up, and the Bengals will make a run at Julius Thomas

I love Bruce Arians

quote:

SEPT. 10, on wide receivers wanting the ball more:
“There were times when certain guys want numbers. I think Larry (Fitzgerald) will be the first one to tell you the only number that matters is a ‘W.’ That’s a letter, though.”

quote:

NOV. 24, on a sub-.500 division winner hosting a playoff game:
“You still hang a banner. They put the year up there, ‘Division Champs.’ They don’t put the record usually. Nobody gives a s***. It’s all about hanging those banners. That’s pretty cool s***.”

quote:

DEC. 8, on how he handled young kicker Chandler Catanzaro after a couple of misses off the uprights:
“Pat him on the back, tell him the kick them between the poles and don’t hit the pole.”

and a bunch more:

Greg Jones, most recently on the field with the Texans, retired as a full member of the Jaguars on January 15th. He said that his kids were always Jaguars fans, even showing up to a Texans/Jaguars home game he played in 2013 in full Jags gear.

I am assuming it's something in the air. Anyone ever investigate as to why the Maxwell House factory down the block does their roasts on every game day?

Also, my mom is determined to be an Armada fan. JT, did you get one of those bitchin scarves? Where do I buy one.
