We are the only team in the NFL without an 11-win season in the last 25 years.
(The Redskins)

Is that true? Even the Browns?

He wants $15M? The next highest paid guy is $8M and change. Bell is great, but he's not $15M great. We did fine with $2M DeAngelo Williams back there. QBs make franchises, not RBs or the Vikings would have been awesome while AP was there.
Bell's an idiot. He and his MSU friend over at the Redskins want way too much.

I hope he's happy in the "never getting a ring" club. Maybe he can be pen pals with Barry Sanders.

Redskins looked pretty terrible that first half until the final drive.

Steelers still haven't played the big name players yet.

Bell needs to pay attention though as Conner had 20 carries for 98 yards tonight.

12 Browns kneel during the national anthem.

The first white guy knelt, but his wife is black, so it's less cool.

The NFL really needs to do something about this stuff. They've proven it affected their ratings last year. I would reach out to the NFLPA and ask what the NFL can do to end the kneel downs.

You can't punish anyone, but it's hurting your bottom line.

I don't either. I'm fine with the protest, but when it hurts someone else's profits, there is an issue.

I am skeptical of that survey's claims.

I hear not having naked cheerleaders hurts profit.

You start the petition telling them to get naked and I'll sign.

Dammit, I accidentally edited Malcolm's post.

That was my comment.

In other news, you know who's probably not a good union president? A selfish asshole.

Bell to return after last preseason game.

He also said, "You're welcome".

He'd better be the best RB in the league this year or he's just showing the world that he's a massive sack of shit.

Jim Brown weighs in on Kaep.

I can't stress enough how much I agree with Jim Brown here.

He starts making sense in the last 2 paragraphs. Everything before that sounded like an old guy bitching about the young kids not carrying on the same way of life as 2-3 generations ago.

Edelman out for season.

Jaguars admit their season is totally, utterly fucked.
Bortles did enough in Thursday’s exhibition loss to Carolina to keep the starting job he’s had the last three years. The third overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft will make his 46th consecutive start when the Jaguars open Sept. 10 at Houston.
