I dont agree. Give it time.

Dumbest thing? You don't give them enough credit!

Dumbest so far?

Tell me your opinion for dumbest.

The handling of domestic violence and “policy”

The Ray Rice case was the worst. It was like they high fived him first, then said "the optics look bad so we need to figure a way out".

New York giants owner Mara being allowed to sweep Josh Browns violence under rug until he was outed by press.

Ezekiel Elliot suspension

Deflategate

I agree with all of these.

I think the new kick off rule(s) are the dumbest rules that the rules committee has come up with.

Since we're talking ""DUMB""..............................How about a trade idea???

Offer Matthew Judon to the NY JETS for Hassan Reddick. He don't wanna play for the Jets for $14.5M one year.

He's 29 and Judon is 32. Both teams agree that contracts have to be settled before the deal is done. Reddick is well worth a 3 year $57M with $36M guaranteed. He'd be a perfect replacement for Judon. Don't know if the Jets would do it, but they're saying he's going to be hit with the $50,000 a day fine and he's saying he doesn't give a shit, he's not playing for the Jets.

Jets gave up a conditional 3rd round pick for him after the Eagles refed to give him a new contract and never tried to work out a new contract before doing the deal. As one agent said, "NEVER make a trade for an unhappy player without at least checking whether or not he'll report without a new deal."

Minnesota Vikings rookie QB J.J. McCarthy suffered a serious knee injury in practice today. No further information was available. He's expected to miss at least four to six weeks.

Sounds like someone is hoping it's not that serious.

A potential Bailey Zappe landing spot??

Sucks for JJ.

Can we get a third for Zappe?

Just say no to Reddick.

he is undergoing surgery. Meniscus is often cleaned up with a scope. He is not the starter and they have a 3rd string QB. Instead of standing with a clipboard, he’ll be sitting with a clipboard

A potential Barely Zappe landing spot??

FIFY

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Sucks for JJ.

Zappe and Jones were pretty much neck and neck for the worst QB in the NFL. We got a 6th (I think) for Jones. Probably the same or less for Crappe.

Be nice - He's Barely CRappe.

I was joking.
Mac was taken in the first while Crappe was taken...in the third?

I have no doubt that he is worth the same return, or less, than Jones. Unless the market and timing and a stupid buyer says different.

Seriously though, It's a culmination of issues.

Taxes and daycare of course being the biggest two which are easily more surmountable than a winning culture.
Taxes? Increase the offer to offset the difference.
Daycare for spoiled baby mamas? The Athletic Club down town has it...why can't Gillette?

The winning culture? Requires winning.

Belichick chalked it up to Massachusetts’ high income tax.

"That’s Taxachusetts," Belichick said Monday in an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show." "Virtually every player, even the practice squad, even the minimum players are pretty close to $1 million. Once you hit the $1 million threshold, you pay more state tax in Massachusetts."

Just pumps a ton of confidence in this team.

Let's not endanger our number one draft pick. Let's tank the season right off the bat.

Hell, I'd start Milton. Of course, I would have kept Zappe and cut Brissett, just based on preseason performances.
