    Don't get me started on tebow. I know he gets a lot of media attention and he isn't the best thrower of all time but the bloke took a 1-4 Denver and got them to the playoffs and won a playoff game against Pittsburgh. The next year he was a jet and that ruined him him. He should've gone to Jacksonville where he was guaranteed the starting gig but for him to have been out of the league for two years is a joke when a lot of teams have no QB's.

    Hayne had a fair crack. A 53 yard run and a few good returns. Good on him.

    Usually the third pre season game is when the starters get a real shot. Right now they have one drive and are off for the rest of the game. Some players seasons are over already due to injury. Some others are due to being far too entertaining eg: geno and the jets. If there was ever a franchise that finds new ways to implode it is the jets. Good on em it keeps me entertained.

    AP needs to remember that he is a cog in the wheel. If we are to go anywhere it'll be on the back of bridgewater and our defence. Lots of drama over deflated footballs still. Brady will take a lot of players association cash and go to court. Id ring him and have a chat but he "accidentally" smashed his phone so I don't have his new number.

    Gotta love how the Knicks are going. Phil Jackson says he has done a great job as GM and the reaction at the draft was priceless. Is New York slowly turning into the sporting version of Cleveland? The Yankees had their day and now the jets,giants and Knicks are struggling.

    I get pumped once the pre season starts and then I see a pre season game and I dont recognise any player. Sometimes they let a starter enter the field to drink some Gatorade and then they come off again. We have 5 pre season games this year so it's a lot of slow torture until the real stuff starts.

    Ok my first time in here I'll try and keep it short. I'm a massive Minnesota vikings fan and I used to be a big pacers fan due to reggie miller but after he and the rest of all those 90's icons retired I lost interest. I listen to a lot of Minnesota radio and after watching the playoffs I'm finding my interest again and I'm on the T-wolves. So we have wiggins and another 1 pick. So I'm hoping for more then 16 wins next season. I was spewing the cavs didn't win but at least bogut has a ring.

    AP is back. Praise the gods the saga is over. Of course I've been following every word, tweet, article and no shows at training but if you haven't really followed let me tell you it's been one of the most ridiculous things I've seen. So now the mood amongst vikings fans and a few in the media have us playoff bound. I think that is over the top. Number 12 for the packers says hello. Detroit will still be good without Suh and Chicago sucked last year and still beat us once. We have a long way to go. I'm getting the season pass this year since the vikes were on tv once last season. Can't figgin wait.

    I don't mind the change but I would hate to see a O linesmen get injured on a field goal attempt. So the latest on AP is after he wasn't traded and the vikings stayed strong that he is contracted and required AP and his [censored] of a manager are threatening to retire from football. He is desperate to get out of Minnesota even though he did the crime and we then payed him in full for a year off which was sanctioned by the NFL. Ahhhh it goes on and on.

    Losing Brady for 4 weeks won't be much of a problem. He will be well rested and their back up looks like he can play. Last year Kansas City flogged the pats and I thought their dominating run as a team was over. They get going in the last half of the year. It won't bother the pats being labelled cheaters they should be used to it by now. The first round pick could hurt them. They do draft well but any loss of a first round pick has gotta hurt. Can the yanks stop naming their scandals? Yeah I get the pun by adding gate on the end of everything but it's not that clever anymore.

    A power running game and strong defence can get you to the playoffs. Hell we got their with Christian ponder as our QB.

    Tom Brady pick 199. They stuff up the draft just like we do. There is a great doco on brady that's been around for a while on brady and his drafting I think it's still on you tube. Maybe the Rams are trying to establish a powerful running game with that awesome defense. They have more stability at QB but probably not a lot of confidence in the throwing game right now. If it were any other division if think the Rams are playoff bound.

    Very happy that the vikes drafted trae Waynes. We needed another CB to compete with the NFC North offenses. No real surprises but i did think Tennessee would trade out of the 2 pick. Maybe it's tebow time in Philly!

    Revis is back at the jets for a lot of guaranteed coin. I still can't work the Foles bradford trade out. Unless philly are going to make a play at mariota in the draft by trading Bradford. The saints signed graham to a 4 year 40m deal last year. Why do they bother with contracts?

    What the hell is going on? Graham a Seahawk? Bradford and Foles traded? Chip Kelly will either look like a genius or he will be killed by a lynch mob in Philly. I know he runs his offence differently to others but in two years he has lost Jackson,Mcoy,Maclin and Foles. That's a lot of weapons lost. Seattle just got a lot better. That Super Bowl might've been different if you have graham in the end zone.

    His 40 yard dash would've had him in the top ten at the combine. He can catch as well. But can he pass protect and read a blitz on either side of the line? It's what he is going to need to do. If he makes the practice squad I'd say that's s massive success.

    I didn't mind glennon your right he is no star but I thought he was a better option then mccown. How lucky is mccown? Yeah he shows glimpses of being a ok QB but with the lack of free agent QB's and college QB's mccown gets a deal with Cleveland.

    So the draft is coming up. Day one of the draft is a lot of fun with all the trades that go on and the pressure GM's go through whilst on the clock. Another year of hyped up QB's but with my very limited knowledge I wouldn't take either. Winston reads like a johnny football book. I can't believe how much hype was going on with Johnny last year. I got sucked in a bit. My boy Teddy had a horrible pro day and 4 years of game tape were thrown out the window as teams wouldn't touch him. Thank god for that. Mariota doesn't run a pro style offense but everyone keeps saying him and Chip Kelly getting back together would be a match made in heaven. They would have to trade up with maybe Washington. Would you want to trade up and place all bets on Mariota? I dunno it hasn't worked out too well in Washington so far. I'm hoping Minnesota can draft a corner back as all year we really only had one. A Receiver is needed but I would rather stock up on defense. I don't think we are going to ever out gun anyone in our division. anyone else know/hope what they want in the draft?

    Dan Quinn is a great hire. I think being in the NFC South means you could bounce back pretty quick. Receivers can get over paid. Does a good QB make a receiver look better? Maybe so but I'm sure cam newton would want Steve smith back. To me brady and Rodgers are the only two QB's that could win with any receiving group. They make average receivers look so much better.

    Over the last 3-4 years the NFL has become my favourite game. We've had discussions about it on here before. It has nothing to do with Melbourne being very poor for me it's the fact that I will watch any game of NFL. I can't say the same for the AFL anymore. I still enjoy going to Melbourne games and I try to go every week with my membership but I would much rather the NFL come along again very soon.

    Man what a game. I had to work a long day so I didn't get to watch it until last night. Yeah it's obvious hand the freakin' to beast mode. Just a dumb call. I agree with Georgiou about seattles defense. Early on it was obvious the pats were going to run crossing routes underneath and use their speed to get yards. Gronk was the only deep threat if he has a mismatch. Seattle didn't press though and Brady was able to not only get yards but he didn't have to worry about the pass rush as much cause he got rid of the ball so quick. I'm gonna say it. I think Wilson is a little over rated. He is unbelievable at evading a rush and can extend plays but apart from the big throws to a receiver who was working at foot locker last year (awesome story) Wilson doesn't fill me with confidence that he will win the game for you. He needs help with some receivers that defense and beast mode. I think he ranks 3rd in most important to seattle winning. I'm not saying he is Christian Ponder im jus sayin he isn't brady like. I'm starting to think Richard Sherman is a [censored]. His bragging about Revis getting a TD caught on him annoyed me. It ain't all about him. He is a gun but most don't throw his way so his stats always look good. Or maybe I'm getting old and grumpy.

    What baffles me a little is Beckham Jr got the offensive ROY and Rodgers didn't win the offensive MVP. Am I too logical to think that if you win a award and you play on offense shouldn't you get both awards?

    Yeah I gotta work. I'll try to avoid the scores. It should be a far better game then last year.
