Rams have switched to white horns on their helmets and it seems a full white blue uniform by the time the new stadium opens.

    AP gone from the Vikes!

    It's difficult to know what is going on ... he's a free agent and the Raiders are interested but the Vikes may want to keep him.

    I'd love him at the Packers even if it was just for a year or so.  Doubt he'd end up at Green Bay though.

    Not if he wants to go back to the Vikes post career ?

    Yeah, good point Gorgo ... moving to a team within a division is often frowned upon but he is 32. 

    Regardless, AP will probably end up in the AFC if he moves.   As always, money talks and at his age he has to take on a good offer if it comes his way.

    Eddie Lacy off to Seattle ... rumour is LeGarrette Blount might be heading to Green Bay.

    AP still hasn't been snapped up but they reckon his price might be too high.

    Without seeing too much of him from all reports atlanta are wrapt with the Poe signing... Think the superbowl broke me, don't have the usually enthusiasm.. Maybe more focused on round 1 next weekend aswell

    Stoked with Whitworth. Also just signed Connor Barwon, FA from the eagles. Was good a few years ago, not so good once they moved hom from OLB to DE.

    In Wade I trust.

    Raiders heading to Vegas ... 2019, maybe 2020.

    Some are saying they should just go now ... interesting to see how their fans will react.  It's a different culture over there so who knows?

    Such a shame, they need to stay in Oakland, I'll always associate the raiders with Oakland.

    Vegas is a strange choice, very interested to see how it works there.

    Romo retires!

    A big media gig awaits (CBS)  I was thinking he might have landed in Houston ... seemed an ideal fit.

    Anyway, he was a more than decent QB who, with an ounce of luck, could have had a fair bit more success - when he finally started to hit his straps, injuries intervened.

     I'm surprised. I thought he would continue with another team.  

    Same as you I thought the Texans would be a good fit.

    Bit surprised about Romo calling it a day but when you think the run of injuries his had the past few seasons & at his age, would it really all worth it to up his family etc & move to another city for a season or 2.. He can retire a cowboy.

    Built up the courage to watch the Superbowl replay during the week. Still don't know how we lost but it's actually given me some closure haha. Can start looking forward to the season ahead

    For those who are interested in watching the replay, here's the edited highlights with the various players & coaches mic'd up ... the link can't be embedded so you'll have to clink on the link & watch on youtube ... 2 months later and I'm still 40/60 on Atlanta blowing it vs the great comeback by New England.

    Having watched it again I do sort of agree that it was more New england the comeback then Atlanta blowing it... My most vivid memory is when Alford pick 6'd Brady, I was losing my mind in the kitchen & my mrs wondering what the big deal was, I remember just yelling "he never throws pick 6's!!! We've got them now" only for it all to come crashing down haha!

     Without watching it again on the day I reckon Atlanta blew it earky giving them a sniff then Pats got confidence and took it. 

     

    Lynch has said he would go to the Pats if he cant get to Oakland.

    Pats with Lynch... sigh...

    2017 schedule released, Rams isn't too bad.

     Can't complain with the Packers schedule either ... our home games are all winnable. 

    We're @ Atlanta in week 2 with other road games at Dallas,  Pittsburgh & Detroit but I relish the games against the good teams.  Helps having Rodgers of course. 

    We've got Seattle at home in week 1 - Lacy might have a bit to prove first up for the Seahawks. 

    The Falcons are at the Patriots in week 7 (SNF) ... that will be interesting.

    Will be an interesting match up early & a rematch of the NFCCG... First game in the new Mercedes-Benz Dome. Relatively happy with the Falcons schedule, last year we had the hardest & look how that turned out. I'd be predicting an 11-5 again or 12-4 but who really knows..

    It's interesting we finish the season with 4 out of our last 5 as divisonal games, that's pretty tough.. I read somewhere another team has the same, not sure if there's more.. Maybe the NFL is trying to keep later season games from becoming junk if teams seasons are over & keep some divisions alive longer in the season

    AP to the Saints ... low salary as well (3.5 mil per year for 2 years) 

    He might give them 1 good year, maybe 2.  At 33, he's nearing the end but because he's been great previously, he might have a bit left.  A new team could be just the tonic.

    Beast-mode should end up at the Raiders and the same scenario applies - however, Lynch is only 31.  Again, 3.5mil per year is not a lot of money by NFL standards.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
