K Shaun Suisham cut from Steelers for failing physical as he rehabs knee.
That John Fox/Jeff Spicoli face might be the best thing ever.
I don't even know how to preface a new Johnny Manziel news bit anymore.
Manziel's lawyer was apparently given a receipt that showed Manziel bought $1000 worth of "drug paraphernalia" a couple days ago (hours after being involved in a hit-and-run accident, in which he was apparently the one that was hit).
Best of all, the lawyer sent a text message that said, "Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle", referring to presumed conditions of a plea deal in his domestic violence case. The text was supposed to go to another lawyer, but he accidentally sent it to the AP instead (replying to the wrong text, as the AP was reaching out to him for comment on the hit-and-run).
Did he follow it up with "MT, MT!!!!"
Edit: And since it's the thing to talk about today, the NFL's monitoring the situation with Brexit. It shouldn't impact this season's games in London, but going forward, who knows? Maybe this is the excuse the owners who don't have ties to the UK can use to end the practice.
Also, there's news that the proposed stadium in Las Vegas would be seeking $750 million in public funds. Public as in a tax on hotel stays, meaning mostly people from out of town would be financing the stadium instead of the locals.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame built themselves a holodeck.
Huh

Back on topic:
Much was made of Roberto Aguayo’s lack of track record in cold-weather conditions after he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round. While his small sample size in this area was not impressive, it is also important to remember that a lack of meaningful data does not indicate a problem, but simply requires more information in order to draw a proper conclusion. In my mind, many kicking camps function in a similar way. They can be used by coaches and evaluators to gather a baseline evaluation on a player, with the caveat that further study is often required in order to gain a full understanding of a kicker’s abilities.
It is only when considering these performances in the context of the situations in which they occurred, and comparing them to other specialists, that it becomes clear that Vinatieri is one of the top kickers, if not the top kicker of all-time. Context is critical to effective evaluation, and for specialists, weather is an important piece of the puzzle that must take on greater importance than with other positions.
Buddy Ryan passed away the other day.. Not shocking as he was in poor health for some time. He will be missed.
One of my co-workers texted me about Buddy Ryan.
Yeah as a head coach he was one hell of a defensive coordinator
What a life.
LEGIT NEWS!
Andrew Luck signed for 6 years, $140 million. That's only $23 million/yr, which is less than most expected.
Still, a lot of money. Hopefully he hasn't permanently regressed from all the sacks he's endured. If so, the Colts are in for a long, long six years.
Full breakdown here and here, if you care.
My immediate expectation is that they restructure/extend in two years to drop the $27+ million cap hits in 2018 and 2019.

Except not the Browns.

Yeah, that is surprising. There's no way his rough 2015 didn't cost him there. Even with that, I'm surprised to see that number below $25 mil/yr..
How much was that Luck, and how much was the Colts actively trying to kill him, though?
Johnny Manziel is going to be suspended four games for substance abuse, which will reduce the number of games he will play again in the NFL by exactly zero.

Is he even on an active roster? How does that even work if he isn't even on a team?
...Am I a bad person for wanting something like this to happen in the NFL?
All or Nothing is up on Amazon. Free if you have Prime (who doesn't, right?).
What is it? Oh, only eight hours of NFL Films documentary footage following the Arizona Cardinals around last year. Eight goddamn hours of NFL Films. I can't wait!

Thanks for reminding me they're doing a 30 for 30 on the XFL.

It's like a debt. For Manziel to ever play an NFL game again, he would need to be under contract on a team and serve the 4 games on the team's Reserve/Suspended list. During that time, he would not be on the active roster, but once the suspension was up, the team would have to activate him.
So, effectively a stake through the heart of a corpse. Even at the league vet minimum, a team would have to sit him four games to roll the dice on him the moment he is signed.
