Well, I guess it has New England directly in the team name, so it would make sense.

I guess I'll be the idiot American who doesn't know much about international soccer and assume Chelsea is the New England of soccer. Who is their Brady?

I was referring to glory hunting fans rather than a direct analog.

Manchester Utd in the Fergie years are the direct analog to the Patriots.

^ Yeah. Problem is he currently has no more guaranteed money left on his contract.

Yeah if I was Julio I wouldn't set foot on a field without guaranteed money either. One bad injury and suddenly you're not worth anything.

Just fully guarantee his contract, do it 3 months ago when all of this was going down.

That's an easy fix and the fact that that isn't just done tells me that something more is going on here.

I hope the front office isn't that dumb to call his bluff...

The Ridley pick and subsequent stuff though is looking more and more :thunk:

Tbf there is a lot of time and Blank has already said Julio will be a Falcon for life so I dont think he is going anywhere and they will rework his deal to give him some guaranteed money and be done.

The nfl is weird tho so anything is possible, I just really dont see it happening.

I'm kinda not interested in football anymore I think. With the concussion poo poo already and now the NFL throwing its hat into the ring on political policy it's making me feel pretty uncomfortable supporting or watching the NFL in any way. Will see if I can hold out past preseason though. An entire lifetime of behavior is hard to change.

ehhhh I will still watch and love my stupid team but it's definitely lost some appeal, 100% agree. Have to look at it the same way you look at some crazy countries (like the US right now, tbh), awesome people (players), cool countries to visit (stadiums), awful awful leadership that should be fired into the sun

Good for you! I kinda had a similar stance last year and I ended until watching much more than I anticipated. The nfl has its hooks in me deep :(

Uhhh, yeah, debating giving up football on moral objections kinda already took care of that (also Texas has sucked for a while), NFL was all I was really following.
