Nystral posted:Speaking of the Saints I lost track but wasn't the owner and his kids fighting over the team or something like that. The wife / stepmom was the crux of the argument IIRC but gently caress if I know anything beyond that. Theoretically settling but it hasn't been made final yet. Article says that the stepmom is ultimately going to get control. http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2016/11/settlement_in_benson_family_la.html

A.o.D. posted:The only good feeling I could possibly get from this season is the schadenfreude of a Falcons loss, but that would entail a Patriots win. Sean Payton is Still the coach, they hired loving Tomsula, and Brees' prime has been frittered away in a parade of 7 - 9 years. gently caress this gay Earth. Tomsula went to Washington.

Silly Burrito posted:I just think a young speedy dependable receiver should be worth more than this, and the Saints screwed themselves. There's a clear judgment call in there, which is whether or not Cooks was going to be dependable again or be a pain in the rear end. After how bad the Saints got burned with locker room problems and bad blood I'm on board for shipping dudes out if they don't want to be in NOLA.

 quote:Your 2016 record: 7-9. That’s three straight years of 7-9, and four out of the past five years. Jeff Fisher is in AWE of this consistency. If you haven’t realized it by now, both the Saints and the city of New Orleans are clearly content with a team that can pass for 50 gazillion yards a season and do nothing else correctly. That 2009 title? That was it. They’re never winning another title again. They’re taking their fluke ring and going to the bar. http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-s...dium=socialflow

Silly Burrito posted:The thing is, I see where they were trying to make a big impact, they just flopped miserably (Byrd, Browner, Galette, etc.) It's not like they stood pat and did nothing, but they basically made all the wrong moves. Yup (also resigning Fairley). Even Spagnuolo and Ryan made sense at the time.

wandler20 posted:I still don't get how a used smashed to poo poo helmet is better than a new one. It may have been utter bullshit trotted out by the NFL. quote:UW: I was talking to an NFL spokesman, and he didn't say anything about that. He said that when you switch out a helmet, it takes time to break in the new one, and that can cause safety issues if it isn't broken in well enough. Is that true?

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:Per rule only the quarterback is allowed to spike the ball. Does the holder count as a quarterback on field goal tries? It's not "only the quarterback." It's "[a] player under center." Rule 8, Section 2, Article 1, Item 3 posted:Item 3. Stopping Clock. A player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time if, immediately upon receiving the snap, he begins a continuous throwing motion and throws the ball directly into the ground.

weird Asian candy posted:Technically we can lose 1 out of the next 2 and we will be in. That said, let's run the table and take the division imho I meant your chance at there only being one NFCS team in the playoffs. The scenario I really don't want is if the Falcons run the table and the Saints take care of the Bucs:  Would be Falcons / Saints games 3 times in 4 weeks: 14, 16, 18/WC.
