Jets traded Belichick

This is not true.

Belichick was promoted and quit to take the NE job.

The NFL then took draft picks from NE and gave them to the Jets for tampering.

Yo, peep that shit

http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2016/09/one_auburn_fans_unexpected_let.html

Coach Malzahn,

We have never met. I am not someone who has influence at Auburn University. I am not a booster. I didn't even graduate from Auburn. I am just a fan. Just a normal work-a-day person who supports Auburn through buying apparel and attending an occasional game.

You are a very busy person right now, so it's understandable if you haven't heard the talking heads discuss your "hot seat." But I, for one, hope it isn't true.
I've been an Auburn fan my whole life. I've been an Auburn fan surrounded by Alabama fans at work, at school and at home. I've been an Auburn fan through some dark times. Even though Auburn football isn't on top right now, I would still like to thank you for being our coach.

We are told that Auburn is a family. That we support each other. But there is a hypocrisy with that. (Some) people only claim to be "Auburn Family" when the team is winning. So to that point I'd like to say a few things.

I believe our "Auburn Family" has forgotten how it felt for opposing fans to say "When is the last time Auburn won a Championship?" or "When is the last time Auburn even played for a Championship?" We forget how it felt to be skipped over for the Championship in 1983, or in 1993, or how it felt to be left out of the BCS in 2004. But in 2010, we finally broke through and got a taste of what we had longed for. We experienced what some fan bases never have. We experienced what some Auburn fans longed to have, and their lives ended before it happened. We won the National Championship.

And then a few years later, Auburn was only a few plays away from winning another National Championship. You, Coach Malzahn, were the common denominator. You were integral to both of those seasons. We were able to hold our heads high. That during Alabama's run of championships, that we played for Championships too. I believe our "Auburn Family" doesn't understand how unbearable it would be if those 2 seasons wouldn't have happened. We have you, Coach Malzahn, to thank for that.

Maybe I'm naïve, but I believe you when you say "We are close." I believe in you, Coach. I believe you can turn this thing around. I believe that you will get us back to the Championship game and make those few plays that are needed to raise the trophy. I could be wrong in these beliefs, but isn't "family" supposed to believe in each other? Aren't we supposed to support each other as an "Auburn Family?" Our phrase of "War Eagle" is supposed to embody that. We say it when we cheer. We say it as a hello, when we see a fellow Auburn fan. We also say it to console each other after a loss.

So in closing, I believe there is only 1 thing left to say.

War Eagle, Coach Malzahn.

If I was Rex, I wouldn't be too happy. I'm not conspiracy theorist, but I wouldn't be surprised if BB threw the game, and that Rex is embarrassed by that possibility.

Why would BB throw the game? I can think of a few possibilities:

• Any Wildcard team that loses to the Pats and is tied with the Bills would now lose their tiebreaker to the Bills. So this decision by BB helps to ensure that there will be an easy team to beat in the playoffs. BB is taking advantage of the fact that he's a lock in the AFCE to help influence the Wildcards.

• BB wanted the team to be able to not get distracted all season by trying to get a perfect season. Losing one game near the beginning allows them to play with more ease and without fear, which will be particularly important when we face harder teams.

• BB wants to keep Rex in the division, because it will create 2 easy games a year against an undisciplined and poorly run team. Rex "beating" the Patriots helps to ensure that he won't get fired.

There are honestly more possibilities too. I just think that any of these possibilities are way more likely than the Pats getting shut out at a home game after torching 3 teams in a row.

She came in, held her nose, looked me dead in the eyes and said "you’re gross." You see… my C wasn’t really cool at all. It was just a big, smelly turd. And I flushed it.

I kind of admire this guy.

An impressively delusional Lions fan posted:

We need an upgrade at CB, Butler,Bademosi, Lawson, and especially Jackson won't cut it.

Whoever watched the game against Dallas last night can agree the corner backs were horrendous. Lawson, Bedemosi, and Jackson. In order to defeat the Packers next week at home I am going to make a few suggestions the front office should keep in mind. We need competent corners in order to have a chance to defeat Rodgers and the packers. we need solid corners to defend Nelson & Co. I am suggesting we sign 2 veteran corners or at least one to go with the butler signing, ones who may have even retired recently. I have compiled a short list of serviceable corners who will give us a chance to compete against the Pack. The lsit is as follows: Dre Bly, Fernando Bryant, Eric Berry, Cromartie, Alphonso Smith,Brandon Browner, CB, Saints. Age: 32 , Tarrel Brown, Ty Law, Champ Bailey.

I am very serious about signing 2 of these folks up. We need players who know how to play the position.

Browner is a Quinn guy so theres some familiarity there. Seeing bailey out there would give me alot more confidence than seeinig Lawson, Bedemosi, or Jackson. This is the playoffs and division we are talking about. Rodgers would be hesitant to attack Bailey due to his legendary status. The man can still ball and knows the game very well. He would provide immediate veteran leadership.

I’m not sure why anyone would have a problem with Bailey coming in for a few weeks. He signed with the Saints prior to his departure from the Broncos. His brother played for the lions as well. He would fair better than Lawson, Bedemosi, and Jackson.

Alot of these guys are worldclass athletes that train other athletes and stay in shape. They wouldn’t need to be every down guys. We can simplify the coverage for them as zone or man. Or they can just shadow a receiver all game. There is plenty of time to learn if they are committed. It’s only Wednesday, the game is Sunday night.

Somehow I missed the first time around that he wants to sign Eric Berry off the streets. Eric Berry who is in the midst of an all pro season and has pretty much won a couple of games for the Chiefs by himself this year.

Although I guess he's gonna play him at corner for some reason.
