NFL 2016: Offseason: OTAs / Dead Zone / Gumbie Loves Kickers!

Picked up one of my late grandpa's Terrible Towels today. It was his most recent and the older ones definitely looked like they were well used back in the day.

So far it's just TEN and CLE.

Cleveland. *snort*

Best comment on Cleveland:

It’s going to be pretty ironic in 2020 when Johnny Manziel is the homeless drunk guy giving advice to Jimmy Haslam on which QB we should draft that year.

Finally got around to reading it.

The fan section won't end. It's incredible.

Nice thing about long cross country Southwest flights is the ability to binge watch NFL Network documentaries...on the likes of Jerome Bettis, Marty Schottenheimer, and the New York Giants teams of the 70s and 80s.

The one for the Ravens pretty much boils down to spoiled fans and a the Rays. Mostly accurate.

Trent Richardson cut by the Ravens. His Hall of Fame career will continue elsewhere.

Sounds like Ozzie reads "Why your team sucks".

Speaking of the best thing from this time of year...

Chip Kelly is a perfect match for this fanbase because he has the fraudulent tech guru routine down pat. Here’s a guy who combines the gracelessness of Peter Thiel and the officiousness of Mark Zuckerberg with ideas that sound futuristic but are ultimately worthless. He was made for this job, people. You should thank God—God in this area being Jeff Fahey’s character at the end of The Lawnmower Man—that the Niners hired him, because they almost hired Mike Shanahan instead. I swear it’s true. Somehow that was the only other candidate. What is wrong with this franchise?

I was just impressed the "Why Your Team Sucks" for the 49ers wasn't just the Chip Kelly picture.

Dropping a Lawnmower Man reference? Ouch!

What happens if you make a film from a book, but not only has no one on the project read it, it was before Wikipedia, so they didn't even read the premise?

As this if a Football Outsiders-friendly site, heads up, FOA 2016 is out today in PDF form over at FO.

Kellen Moore broke his ankle.

Nick Foles might be a Cowboy sooner rather than later.

Ok, I usually think sports comics are dumb but that was hilarious.

Tuesday's FO Film Room: Eli Manning

The verdict: He's a pretty good (almost elite) QB who has been let down mostly by bad receivers and a poor O-line.

Chiefs win the Nick Foles Sweepstakes!

The circle is complete.

Justin Tucker says he could hit a FG from 84 yds in Denver. Claims he hit the crossbar at 85, so 84 would be legit. Possibly true, but the funniest bit was the top comment:

Walsh hit 3 of 7 from 27 yards so far in camp.

Buuuuurn.

Bronson Kaufusi, the Ravens 3rd round pick from this year, probably lost for the year with a broken ankle. Camp injuries are the worst.

Speaking of injuries, the Cowboys are reportedly interested in Josh McCown. The Browns are holding onto him for now. Gotta see what RG3 can do, eh?

And for those who are curious, the news out of the Browns camp is that Corey Coleman has been killing it in practice. Justin Gilbert still kinda sucks. Doesn't look like he's putting the time in to be a good players still. Oh, Cleveland.

These are the saddest sentences ever penned.

I forgot to mention that JFF is a free agent.

And his sobriety is going well!

I hope JFF gets reinstated by the NFL and dumbass Jerry signs him to add some gasoline to the Dallas Dumpsterfire. That would be the best thing ever. I might even move back to Dallas just to watch that and warm my hands over the ruins of The House That Jerry Built.

He recently reiterated to a reporter his desire to play for the Cowboys... on his way out of a nightclub.

JFF = The Donald

They are both entitled brats with a mix of enablers and people trying to intervene on their behalf, while they find new ways to shock and offend everyone one a regular basis.

I fully expect Manziel to run for governor of Texas eventually.

Speaking of dumpster fires, today's edition of WYTS is ... the Bucs.

That said, it's pretty uninspiring. Oh, sure, it focuses on Jameis and the team's second-round draft pick. But it's nothing that we haven't already given MMD tons of crap for already.

Either Drew Magary is worn out, or he's saving his best stuff for his Washington preview.

I had that exact thought today. You couldn't write either of these people into a fictional story, they'd be dismissed as so unbelievable.

Yeah, but in their defense, we're really good at that.
