I too am worried about your Falcons because my Raiders need a loss to stay in the Sanders lottery. Let's go Falcons let's go! (Clap clap clap.)

Man, I don’t know. I get Ridder vibes from Sanders. Really looks good out of context. But Shedeur will come with the expectation that Prime will end up on staff and that is a good fit. Shedeur has a lot of upside.

One of the best game day experiences I’ve ever had was at Oakland in the bleacher seats. I just wore black and cheered and had a blast.

The Raiders are not in Oakland. Las Vegas fits Deon just fine.

I don't know who is under center next year if not Sanders or Ward, and there is something very JaMarcus Russel about a big QB that can run but needs some development.

I'm not so sure on Shedeur Sanders. He is talented, but I don't get the vibe his life plans include being a top tier NFL QB. I think the NFL may be for him a platform for other things he has planned, and his father.
I wouldn't draft the guy in any round.

I get the same feeling. I believe any team would be drafting a short term QB. Until he can jump into the next phase of his (their) life plan.

They used to be in Oakland. I saw them play there.
I worked on the lighting at Allegiant. Next time you watch a game note the total absence of player "X" shadows on the field.


I'm a Falcons guy. I will always love Neon Deion. Greatest Corner Ever.

Ever? Not a chance. The man didn't and couldn't tackle.
I'd take Rod Woodson or Lester Hayes in a heartbeat over Deion Sanders. Champ Bailey too.

I like Champ.
But you can’t fairly judge a DB on how many tackles they make. The better a corner covers, the less passers will target the matchup so it’s kind of a net loss to measure that stat. A great DB is an island.
He was 8X Pro Bowl, MVP and 3 times DPOY. He’ll definitely get a gold jacket.
His special teams and receiver play was consistently very good too.
Anyway even though he’s getting on my nerves at Colorado, he’s still Prime.

He’s been working towards an NFL job for 15 years. I bet he gets hired where Shedeur gets drafted.

They were in Oakland. They had the Al Davis swagger. No more.

This is true, but since Deion didn't tackle at all he drops down on my list of top CB's. One of the best to play the position for sure, but I don't believe he was the full package to rank him as the greatest, ahead of guys in this case who did have the complete package.
If you want to break it down to the best lockdown/cover corner, I'd put him in that conversation as best ever. Then I think you have to take a look at Richard Sherman as well.

Ok we can rock paper scissors to decide. Sometimes I think that’s how the Hall of Fame chooses.

Alright buddy, slide over in your seat and make room for @Gaolee and I on the Falcons bandwagon.

There’s a lot of room on that bandwagon lol.
I don’t think what to expect but the 20(?) snaps so far he looked poised and he’s completed a few nice passes. And Giants are definitely allegedly tanking so it’s a great game to start.
Looking forward to seeing him in pressure minutes.

Holy cow, we all knew the Jets were a troubled organization. But this is unbelievable, what a clown show. From the Athletic:

And this part is really disturbing.

Something has to change, jeez.

Woody Johnson’s Jets: ‘Madden’ ratings, a lost season and ‘the most dysfunctional place imaginable’

More than 20 people in and around the Jets organization characterized Johnson as an over-involved, impulsive owner.

Eh, we've all seen inside an NFL locker room. It's a party in there, especially after the game is over. Players criticize other players in the locker room and talk trash about others all the time. The guy owns the team, signs all of the checks. I don't know what's so grievous about these allegations.
Are we hanging on to that whole locker room etiquette, unwritten rules, code of honor from days gone by? Yeah, it used to be that way but the NFL is more guilty of breaking that than Mr. Johnson.
Are we to conclude this is why the Jets performance on the field is not acceptable, because the owner let his family in the locker room and his children said negative things about the players who are grown men?
