I have nothing to back this up other than a random memory of a rumor Barry Sanders might come out of retirement like 5 years after he was gone but the Lions wouldn't give up his rights.

SHOAH NUFF posted:Mahomes shredding the top D on one leg without Tyreek on the road is no longer even remarkable, it’s expected, I love it... I think Jalen Ramsey also had his worst game as a pro and no one outside of bad winner KC fans has even bothered to say anything about it because it was almost expected. This post might make me a bad winner.

kiimo posted:R.I.P., football on dirt. It's terrible for the players and probably a huge pain in the rear end for people who work there to change things around, but the old man football fan in me will miss it. I don't know if it was related to the dirt but I fondly remember the Raiders backup longsnapper who just absolutely could not deal with anything snapping from that infield.

japtor posted:Raiders players have been fine with it (not necessarily like it, but they're used to it)...unless you're thinking of the time their long snapper got concussed, and his "backup" was basically an emergency long snapper that hadn't practiced it at all, I think he was a TE? He sucked snapping everywhere on the field, dirt or grass. Yeah that was the one I was thinking of, like I said I didn't know if the dirt had anything to do with it but I kinda remember him flubbing one from there. As you noted though he did that everywhere.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Hey TFF Chiefs fans what exactly do you do/feel when Tyreek Hill makes a big play and everyone starts to celebrate because I strongly suspect us Patriots fans are going to be in a similar situation unless more news breaks. Haven't had to worry about it after the most recent case yet. But the first time around it was 'yeah he's terrible but maybe it was a one time deal and he's been clean for a while' before eventual acceptance and 'welp he's really good.' All roads tend to lead to acceptance unless you stop watching or the player sucks on the field. Also worth noting that like 3/4 of big Chiefs fans are all in on the 'fiancee was lying all along' thing. e: I suppose I'm just kind of fatalistic about it, I can't change it. The new contract hopefully means the kids will be financially provided for at least. And if he's going to be playing anyway, well poo poo he's pretty good. Nothing will stop the jokes about the Chiefs from the rest of the league now, we're past that. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Sep 12, 2019 |

Finally a Tom Brady column How to avoid a center with swamp rear end. Clearly if you don't already have an athletic subscription now is the time. quote:So how intense is Brady’s disdain for getting a little extra butter on his fingers? quote:“What can you do? I mean, you’re playing in Miami when it’s 90 degrees and the humidity is 100 percent,” Woody said. “As a center, I’m like, hell, my job is hard enough. I got to snap the ball. I’ve got a 300-plus-pound man on top of me. You’re just going to have to deal with the swamp rear end.”

Play posted:Plus, once you run a play in a game the entire league sees it, so obviously there is no way to keep a play secret apart from never ever running it. If a good coach sees a play they like they're going to incorporate it into their gameplan. I don't think it was a brand new concept or anything but a couple of years ago Andy Reid pulled that tight end counter shovel pass and everyone talked about how original it was. Now it's just a normal play that someone will break out now and then. Like, it's common enough now that I noticed Andy running it as a fake into something else since there was a good chance the D would bite on it. If something works at the NFL level it's going to get copied by everyone. If something works long enough at the college level and doesn't involve your quarterback getting hit every single play it's eventually going to be copied by someone in the NFL, and if it works there...etc.
