NFL 2019: Preseason / Training Camp

Harbaugh said his being cut had nothing to do with these incidents.

Sure.

Admittedly though, Lasley is a better fit for Oakland where being a diva is important.

A field-level pond may or may not be hastily installed in Las Vegas soon.

Now that they have a new diva WR, they can comfortably cut Antonio Brown.

Hard Knocks episode 1:

Johnathan Abram is a moron.

Richie Incognito seemed ... sane? At least the crazy hasn't shown yet.

AB's kid asking where Roethlisberger is. Savage.

AB also may have outdone JPP if he does indeed have frostbite.

"No timetable" for AB's return from coldfeet.

Can't wait for Hard Knocks episode 2.

Duke Johnson got what he wanted as he was traded to the Texans for a 2020 4th round (conditionally a 3rd rounder, or so the rumor goes).

Sucks for me because he's gonna suck up some of those Keke Coutee targets.

Well, now we know what his Game of Thrones' character name would be.

I'm six episodes into the Carolina Panthers edition of "All or Nothing" on Amazon and, guys, guys, I think the season is starting to go south. NO SPOILERS PLEASE Y'ALL.

As a Giants fan, I'm wondering which team will beat the Giants THIS year with a 60+ yd FG??

Graham Gano hits the 63 yarder vs Giants, misses his first PAT the next week, misses his first PAT the following week, and then 2 weeks after that, misses a PAT and a chip shot and loses the game.

That Gano kick is probably the most impressive super long field goal ever.

Of the six 63+ yard field goals in history, 3 of them were in Mile High, one of them was indoors in the Superdome (and kicked with a club-shaped surface, though the benefits of that are arguable), and then David Akers' kick for the Niners bounced off the crossbar before making it over. Gano's kick had distance to spare, though it would have needed to be a little more centered in order to still be good from the distance that it could have reached.

Punches thrown at Raiders/Rams joint practice.

They're gonna need to make Hard Knocks episode 2 an extra long one to fit all this drama. There definitely won't be any time for "player goes to the park" fluff segments...

What's taking so long? This is like a 1-2 night binge show, tops.

If AB can't play in the regular season sure to this injury, it could cause the Raiders to feel the agony of defeat.

I can barely sit still for a 22-minute sitcom, much less 40 whole minutes and change.

Also, that World of Warcraft doesn't play itself, and I have to put on pants and go to work every day.

Also, too: I'm starting to think I'm not going to like how this show ends. #SuperBowlorBust

Spoiler: It ends well.

Spoiler:

I mean the draft.

I can run two games on my PC simultaneously, stream something on said PC, and have something going on the TV all at the same time. I get a giant f*cking headache trying that, but I can do it.

Jones perfect on his first NFL TD! Here we go, SB or bust!

Spoiler:

yeah he looked good but it's 1 series in preseason, just had to stir the pot a bit ;)

There's games tonight? Zzzzzz

Eagles second half and playoff QB just went out with an air cast on his left arm after a late hit. Hopes now reside with someone with the first name Cody. There goes the season.

No seriously has anyone ever named Cody done a damn thing?? Other than shoot raccoons with a BB gun.

My thoughts having just seen Hard Knocks episode 1 just now:

Richie Incognito, given his history of being a racist/bully/psychopath got off easy in the show's recap of his history prior to this year.

AB may also stand for Afterburner, but this afterburner didn't pass the extreme cold simulation at that Air Force base where they freeze planes to test them out in freezing conditions.

I think I may have driven past that Mariott in Napa on my way to a wine country wedding or two.

Hearing the words and music of "The Autumn Wind" still gives me chills:

Man I hope John Madden's okay these days.

I for some reason want to know what went into getting a clip from Netflix on HBO.

Finally, the elephant in the room they're probably saving for later episodes is of course the move to Las Vegas. Makes me wonder what casino's going to host the alumni get-together if they're not doing it in Napa in the future.

That's pretty much what I said.

I was just getting used to the fact that every time my phone chimed during the evening it meant that the Phils were losing. Now it could also mean that the Eagles are losing.

I'm not entirely worried yet because I thought Guru was talking about a Carson injury. In truth, getting rid of Nick Foles already had me resigned to a loss of a season should Wentz get injured again. But perhaps being the back-up's back-up is part of the reason Sudfeld was so unimpressive in the past. I'm not watching the pre-season games so I haven't seen how well Sudfeld has done, and maybe as the back-up he's getting enough experience to not look like a chump.

But he still managed to break his wrist somehow.

Looks up the video.

Dang. That was a beautiful pass, though if the odds went a single percentage the other way it could have been blocked or even picked.

Sudfeld is going to be on IR just long enough to come back and win the Super Bowl. Gawd bless the IR exception.

$WAG WATCH: 13-of-19 for 121 yards, 53 yards rushing, 1 rush TD

So Deadspin's WYTS has been going on for years now, and you think that Drew Magary would have run out of insults by now. He phones in some of them -- the Panthers one will read like it has for the past few years, minus the Jerry Richardson cracks -- and sometimes his heart's not really into it.

But this year's piece on Washington ... *chef's kiss*

The Skins also got lucky and watched Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins fall to them in the draft at No. 15.

But before you get excited about that, please note that the Skins have a noted history of lucking into players who slid in the draft, only to end up crippling them with the kind of injuries you usually only see in a World War I documentary.

It's glorious. Go read it.

P.S. I knocked out one more "All or Nothing" episode last night. Guys, I think something's wrong with Cam's arm.

More seriously, though, I did cheer when they fired Brady Hoke -- you know that fat fraud who tried to get one of his Michigan QBs killed. As much as AoN makes me like Ron Rivera all that much more, I've gotta question his judgment for hiring him in the first place.

Hoke is apparently now the D-line coach for San Diego State. Not a bad place to spend an exile, I guess.
