I agree, add the rumor that the eagles are gonna make a play to trade for kaep if they dont land mariota. predict their record next year...
I say 3-12-1
The Eagles should pass on Kaeperneck.
Stephen A. Smith uses the race card and suggests racism in Chip Kelly’s roster moves
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-roster-moves/
Are the eagles going to trade their whole team?
Im really hoping that this is all in an attempt to land mariota, but then they fail to do so. Fuck chip kelly, scrub ass little midget
Wheres the resident eagle fangirls at? At home with a shitgun in their mouth thats where
Poor 49er fans arent too far behind. Iupati was the biggest loss behind harbaugh IMO, dudes a beast and now hes on a rival
Not good
Oh well, im a redskin fan so i feel the pain of shitty front office management
Admiral Crumple, you're a Redskins fan? Hahahahahahahahahahaha. I wonder if they're gonna get rid of Robert Griffin. I'm sure they will because they don't have a good history of keeping black quarterbacks. I was surprised Philadelphia got rid of LeSean McCoy. That wasn't smart. San Francisco is gonna be terrible for awhile but management have themselves to blame because they should've kept Jim Harbaugh. I see yesterday that Cleveland got rid of Brian Hoyer which wasn't smart because he helped them have a good record halfway and then at the end, they fell apart and lost a lot of games. But I can't put the blame on him for that. Cleveland is always getting rid of quarterbacks fast. They got Josh McGown from Tampa Bay to replace him. I haven't seen Josh play since Tampa Bay sucks and their games don't get televised LOL.
Josh McGown was real good on the Bears. If the Redskins get rid of Griffin, it would be cause he sucked the last two years, not cause he's black.
lol charlesjones
redskins have 3 super bowl trophies. sure, there's 3 inches of dust on them but what are you gonna do?
it could be worse, i could be from cleveland ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
but seriously, unless the skins trade him, i see at least 1 more year of griffin. put up or shut up, and he never shuts up, so he has to put up.
i also see jay gruden as a lame duck who won't be there next year. new GM doesn't want that scrub. the new GM has already said the redskins will focus strictly on the draft as long as he's there, which so far is evidenced by the fact they haven't signed 20 free agents and traded draft picks for 10 others. i'm hoping they can trade down and add some more picks though, unless by some miracle leonard williams is still there at #5
LOL@Cleveland Browns hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Yeah I know they suck and they've sucked for years LOL. They're never gonna be any good. I'm not a Browns fan.
i didn't say anything about the browns, just that at least i'm not from cleveland
do you have a favorite team? i don't think i've ever seen you mention it. it's the jaguars isn't it? be honest. they're an up-and-coming franchise, dog it's nothing to be ashamed of anymore it's ok
No I'm not a Jacksonville fan. Why you dissing my hometown Cleveland? I love Cleveland. It's a lot of nice suburbs there like Garfield, Maple, Shaker, Bedford, Warrensville, Cleveland Heights. Only things I hate about Cleveland is the winter and the lack of jobs. The reason why I moved from there is because of the lack of jobs. Too many factories and warehouse jobs there and I've worked at several factories and I hated it. The work is too hard and the pay sucks.
I see DeMarco Murray left Dallas to go to Philadelphia. So the Eagles don't need Frank Gore. I don't understand why DeMarco left Dallas because he hadn't been there that long and Tony Romo tried to get him to stay. These athletes now don't have no loyalty to teams and the only thing they care about is how much money a team is gonna pay them LOL. That's so sad and pathetic. I'm sure DeMarco was making a lot of money with Dallas and he felt he wasn't getting enough. Gimme a damn break. He was the star running back there and Dallas did very well this season. Now Dallas is gonna have to rebuild because of him leaving. I'm not a Dallas fan but I think him leaving was stupid.
The Cowboys signed a new running back.
Who is he?
Tim Tebow working out for the eagles to try to get third string ball boy
damn, 49ers keep taking L after L this offseason.
Chris Borland retiring after just 1 year lol, ouch
Check Two, who is Dallas running back?
darren McFaggen
Speaking of darrens...
Darren sharper got 9 years in AZ for drugging, toesucking and raping numerous womens
Hes got charges in 3 other states too, he might not be ready for training camp
Darren Sharper is retarded. There's no reason for him to be raping women when he's a NFL millionaire. He can get any woman he wants because of that and his dumb ass gotta be raping women. If he can't get a woman, that's what prostitutes are available for if he wants sex that bad. He probably won't be playing in the NFL anymore because no team is gonna want him because of what he's done.
He retired years ago, charles.
The NFL puffed up its chest and released a punishment on a Monday morning, announcing that the Falcons would be fined $350,000 and docked a fifth-round draft pick in 2016 for pumping in crowd noise.
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...mkowvbqsbv.jpg
The fall guy for the Falcons? A now-fired director of event marketing named Roddy White. If White gets hired by anyone else, he must stay suspended for the first eight weeks of the upcoming regular season. Yes, he is a real person. Yes, there were two Roddy Whites who worked for the Falcons. Yes, that is odd.
Falcons CEO Rich McKay wasn't fired, but suspended from the NFL's Competition Committee on April 1. McKay can ask for reinstatement on June 30.
In a statement, owner Arthur Blank said the Falcons won't appeal the NFL's decision.

ProPublica, Sports Illustrated, and The New Orleans Advocate teamed up to produce a thoroughly reported story seeking to explain how exactly former NFL player Darren Sharper was able to avoid getting arrested for months years despite being accused of rape multiple times. The whole story is worth a read, but the short answer is basically this: Sharper was smart enough to commit his crimes in different states, and none of the cops who investigated him were smart enough to go looking for previous accusations.
http://www.propublica.org/images/nge...-court-630.jpg
From 2011-2014, Sharper was investigated for raping nine women in Miami Beach, New Orleans, Arizona, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. According to ProPublica’s report, each individual investigation was bogged down by the usual missteps that plague rape investigations in America—hesitancy to go after a rich and famous suspect, failure to properly handle physical evidence, hostility toward accusers, failure to interview witnesses—but where everything really fell apart, and where Sharper was able to stay free for so long, was in investigators’ failures to go looking for a pattern of behavior.
For example, New Orleans PD detective Derrick Williams struggled to get an arrest warrant issued after investigating Sharper in 2013. But Williams never bothered to make himself aware of the fact that Sharper had been accused of raping a woman in Miami Beach two years prior:
Still, Williams might have strengthened his case if he had taken one additional step. A call to police in Miami Beach, which Sharper listed as his permanent address, would have turned up Sharper’s name in connection with the 2011 spring break incident.It was the same story later that year, when Sharper was under investigation for raping a woman in Los Angeles:
Munch, the rape expert, said such inquiries are among the most important aspects of any investigation. Studies have shown that rapists have frequently committed prior sexual assault offenses. Such history can help support a new victim’s case.
The details of the New Orleans case were eerily similar to the Miami incident. Women in both cases who were young, white and blond. Women who had passed out at Sharper’s residence — either from alcohol or drugs. Women in both cases who woke to a sexual assault.
But Williams never made the call.
Detective John Macchiarella didn’t begin his investigation until two weeks after the woman filed the complaint, according to court documents. Once engaged, Macchiarella had the victim place a “pretext call” in hopes of eliciting incriminating information from Sharper. Police monitored the call, but did not issue an arrest warrant.The failure continued with the Tempe, Ariz., police department, which began investigating Sharper in November of 2013:
After that, there is little sign of action. Macchiarella did not attempt to interview Sharper. Nor did he obtain a sample of his DNA.
Most crucially, there is no indication that he tried to contact agencies in the other places where Sharper had lived.
If he had, of course, he might have learned of Miami Beach’s closed case. Or more importantly, that Sharper was under active investigation in New Orleans. By the time Macchiarella started his investigation, Williams had already received the report matching Sharper’s DNA to a sample found on the woman’s body.
Without other evidence to corroborate the women’s stories, Macchiarella’s investigation stalled out.
And once again, the Arizona detectives did not look into Sharper’s background in other cities. In fact, the department deemed that such evidence was not worth gathering — despite a state law designed to make it easier to use a suspect’s history in rape cases.It wasn’t until Jan. 2014, when Sharper was accused of yet another rape in Los Angeles, that police started to make connections:
“In a trial setting, it is highly unlikely that a ‘series’ of events in different jurisdictions would be made known to a jury that is deciding guilt or innocence on a single event,” said department spokesman Lt. Michael Pooley.
The women woke up the next morning at 9 a.m. One felt pain and burning in her vagina. They left without seeing Sharper. After talking later that day, the women decided to go to the Santa Monica Rape Crisis Center. They walked into the center at midnight.The police’s continued failure to look into Sharper’s background may have been excusable in a scenario involving a different crime, but as ProPublica points out, rape cases are unique in that investigators are explicitly encouraged by federal law to take past accusations and previous behavior by the suspect into account. In 1994, a law was passed that made it easier for prosecutors to use a defendant’s history as evidence in sexual assault cases, and the The International Association of Police Chiefs explicitly instructs detectives to seek out previous victims when investigating rape cases.
The next day, they made their report to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Westside police station. This time, the officer taking the report noted that Sharper’s attacks featured a modus operandi.
Macchiarella, the detective who caught the first Los Angeles case, also got the second. Alarm bells went off. A judge issued an arrest warrant.
Had any of the cops investigating Sharper simply widened the scope of their investigation a little bit, they would have suddenly been face to face with a serial rapist with a clear modus operandi. Instead, they all chose to slog through their investigations and let the cases peter out, and Darren Shaper was allowed to continue raping women.

---Lawrence Phillips investigated for murdering prison cell mate
The Lawrence Phillips story, already full of many disturbing off-field problems, has taken a remarkably dark turn.
Phillips is being investigated for murdering his cell mate in Kern Valley State Prison, according to Jason Galvin of KGET television. According to Galvin and confirmed by TMZ, Phillips is suspected of murdering Damion Soward, a 37-year-old who was serving 82 years to life for first-degree murder, on Saturday morning. Phillips is serving 31 years in prison in California for attacking his girlfriend and driving his car into three teens.
Mention Phillips' name around a football fan and the first thing that will come to mind is how troubled he was, sabotaging his promising football career. At the University of Nebraska, Phillips was suspended for an incident in which he allegedly dragged his ex-girlfriend by her hair down a flight of stairs. He was, incredibly, reinstated by the team before the end of the season. Nebraska went on to win a national championship.
Phillips was, incredibly, drafted sixth overall by the St. Louis Rams in 1996, less than a year after he allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend. Adrian Peterson, perhaps the most impressive college running back ever and an NFL MVP, went with the seventh pick 11 years later, for reference on how amazing it was that the Rams took the troubled yet talented Phillips that high.
Phillips was a massive bust for the Rams. He was not productive on the field and, not so incredibly, tough to deal with off it. He averaged just 3.4 yards with three NFL teams. He tried continuing his career in the Arena Football League, NFL Europe, the Canadian Football League, but never stuck long anywhere, often because he was tough to deal with.
Phillips appeared in the news again in 2005 when he twice choked his girlfriend. Later in the year came the attack with his car on the teens after a pickup football game, according to the AP's report.
Now comes the report that Phillips is suspected of murdering his cell mate in prison. One of football's truly horrible stories got even worse.
What a big time loser.

Well, at least this time he killed a fellow scumbag
he's also responsible for ending Steve Young's career...playoff game in 99 @ Arizona, he missed the block on Aeneas Williams who absolutely crushed Young (when football was real & they wouldnt call no pussy penatly for hitting the QB)...literally blacked out immediately after that blow from a severe concussion (his 7th) marking his final play in the NFLQuote:

Lawrence Taylor's Son Guilty Of Statutory Rape, gets 30 years in prison
http://ll-media.tmz.com/2015/05/04/0...r-mug-2014.jpg
Lawrence Taylor Jr. -- the son of NFL legend Lawrence Taylor -- just plead guilty to statutory rape, child molestation, and aggravated sodomy (oral sex) ... and was sentenced to 30 years in prison ... TMZ Sports has learned.
We broke the story ... Taylor Jr. was arrested in Georgia after two 13-year-old girls told cops Lawrence had forced himself upon them on separate occasions.
According to Cobb County Superior Court officials, Taylor Jr. was sentenced to 30 years in jail ... but will be eligible for release in 10.
TMZ Sports spoke with the father of one of the victims ... who says he is happy Taylor Jr. is off the streets, but feels he should have gotten MORE time for his crimes.
We reached out to the Taylor family -- so far, no comment.
FYI -- Taylor's father is also a registered sex offender ... who plead guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute in 2011 ... stemming from an incident with an underage girl.
They used their first pick in this year’s draft on Frank Clark, a defensive end who was kicked off the team at Michigan after he was accused of domestic violence. Now they’re facing some scrutiny.
https://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wor...ark.jpeg?w=250
The Seattle Times has a report out today noting that while the Seahawks claim they conducted a thorough investigation before deciding to pick Clark, the two witnesses who called police to report the incident say they never heard from the Seahawks.
Kristie Colie, who was staying in the hotel room next to one being used by Clark and his then-girlfriend, says she saw a woman who “was definitely beat up.”
“She looked unconscious,’’ Colie said. “She looked like she was knocked out, and then she started to move slowly.’’
The police report describes the victim as saying Clark punched her in the face. It also quotes the victim’s brothers as saying they witnessed Clark punch her. According to the brothers, when the victim tried to defend herself, Clark “grabbed her by the throat, picked her up off the ground and slammed her to the ground while also landing on top of her.’’
The domestic violence incident wasn’t Clark’s first run-in with the law. In 2012 he was convicted of a felony charge of second-degree home invasion. On the domestic violence charge, prosecutors allowed Clark to plead guilty to a reduced charge of persistent disorderly conduct and get off with a $250 fine.

so with their history (including SpyGate) lets see how severely the NFL sanctions Goodell's good buddy Kraft's team....
It seems like so long ago, we were talking about ethics in deflated balls. Ted Wells released his investigation into the Patriots’ tampering of the footballs today. The 243-page document can be found here.
The report’s conclusions believe it’s “more probable than not” that Patriots personnel tried to break the rules, and that Tom Brady was likely aware of the practice of deflating balls.
An excerpt:For the reasons described in this Report, and after a comprehensive investigation, we have concluded that, in connection with the AFC Championship Game, it is more probable than not that New England Patriots personnel participated in violations of the Playing Rules and were involved in a deliberate effort to circumvent the rules. In particular, we have concluded that it is more probable than not that Jim McNally (the Officials Locker Room attendant for the Patriots) and John Jastremski (an equipment assistant for the Patriots) participated in a deliberate effort to release air from Patriots game balls after the balls were examined by the referee. Based on the evidence, it also is our view that it is more probable than not that Tom Brady (the quarterback for the Patriots) was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of McNally and Jastremski involving the release of air from Patriots game balls.As for the kicking ball introduced during the second half, the report finds that the Patriots didn’t intentionally try to switch balls.
[...]
We do not believe that the evidence establishes that any other Patriots personnel participated in or had knowledge of the violation of the Playing Rules or the deliberate effort to circumvent the rules described in this Report. In particular, we do not believe there was any wrongdoing or knowledge of wrongdoing by Patriots ownership, Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick or any other Patriots coach in the matters investigated. We also do not believe there was any wrongdoing or knowledge of wrongdoing by Patriots Head Equipment Manager Dave Schoenfeld.Based on the evidence, the investigation has further concluded that that there was no deliberate attempt by the Patriots to introduce to the playing field a non-approved kicking ball during the AFC Championship Game. Although Patriots personnel provided a kicking ball to game officials that did not have the distinctive inspection mark of the referee, we find that the Patriots personnel involved believed the ball to be authentic and appropriate. We do not believe that there was any attempt by Patriots personnel, including Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski, to deliberately circumvent the rules by offering the kicking ball for play.Pages 29-30 of the report explain that the league acquired text messages from “Patriots-provided mobile phones,” which means Jastremski and McNally were just talking about the stuff they did on work phones:The NFL retained Renaissance Associates, an investigative firm with extensive forensic expertise, to retrieve data (including text messages, contact information and telephone call logs) from the Patriots-provided mobile phones of certain Patriots personnel. These mobile phones were provided directly to Renaissance Associates by the Patriots. The Patriots also provided copies of select text messages and a call log retrieved from Jim McNally‟s personal mobile phone, which had not been provided to Renaissance Associates.http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...8668356243.png
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...8743628179.png
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...8852820627.png
Page 18 of the report presents evidence that Brady was aware of the deflated balls, and talked to Jastremski over the phone multiple times after the scandal broke:Additional evidence of Brady‟s awareness includes a material increase in the frequency of telephone and text communications between Brady and Jastremski shortly after suspicions of ball tampering became public on January 19. After not communicating by telephone or text message for more than six months (based on data retrieved from Jastremski‟s cell phone), Brady and Jastremski spoke by telephone at least twice on January 19 (calls lasting a total of 25 minutes and 2 seconds), twice on January 20 (calls lasting a total of 9 minutes and 55 seconds) and twice on January 21 (calls lasting a total of 20 minutes and 52 seconds) before Jastremski surrendered his cell phone to the Patriots later that day for forensic imaging. These calls included conversations relatively early during the mornings of January 19 (7:26 a.m. for 13 minutes and 4 seconds), January 20 (8:22 a.m. for 6 minutes and 21 seconds) and January 21 (7:38 a.m. for 13 minutes and 47 seconds). Brady also took the unprecedented step of inviting Jastremski to the QB room (essentially Brady‟s office) in Gillette Stadium on January 19 for the first and only time that Jastremski can recall during his twenty-year career with the Patriots, and Brady sent Jastremski text messages seemingly designed to calm Jastremski (“You good Jonny boy?”; “You doing good?”). For his part, Jastremski sent Brady text messages confirming that he was okay (“Still nervous; so far so good though”) and cautioning Brady about questioning (“FYI...Dave will be picking your brain later about it. He‟s not accusing me, or anyone...trying to get to bottom of it. He knows it‟s unrealistic you did it yourself...”).https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/sa...46514573_o.png
