I would have given it to Peyton Manning as a big thank you. Keep everyone free and clear from the curse.
Cross your fingers, Pats fans. |

The Madden Curse used to be fun to talk about when you could undeniably make a case for it existing as every player had really glaring issues immediately after
But then Brees was on the Madden 11 cover and had a typical Brees year. People made the fringe argument that the Saints losing to the 7-9 Seahawks in the playoffs counted toward the curse. Even if you wanted to count that, Megatron broke the fucking receiving record the year he was on the cover. Yeah they didn't make the playoffs. So what? It's a team sport. OBJ ensured it stayed dead this year too. |

NFL in some possible big trouble with the government after a recent Congressional report claimed the NFL actively tried to influence a government-approved study on concussions and CTE.

NFL rewarded LA for getting a pro team by giving them hosting rights for Super Bowl LV in 2021. Atlanta gets to host 2019's Super Bowl and Florida gets 2020's Super Bowl.

Peyton Manning announced he won't be suing Al Jazeera regarding the roids report they published earlier in the year. At least 4 other players in the report will and a lot of growing speculation the NFL's own investigations are being purposely dragged along and hoping the public loses all interest in this situation.

Denver offered Von Miller 6-years, $114.5 mil and he turned it down. Negotiations have since ceased.
I'd say that's more than generous. |

Breshad Perriman tore his ACL in his left knee during practice..probably out for the year after missing last year due to a PCL in his right knee. I'd imagine he probably will never play a game for the Ravens.

After further review, the ruling in the courtroom stands. Tom Brady's appeal denied. Suspension still stands.

Would probably be more balanced if more people voted. 1/5 of people voting were from Maryland.

Nah it was 21% of the total vote with Maryland being the only state with Ravens majority.

A Paxton Lynch, Mark Sanchez, and Trevor Siemian quarterback trio really doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. That said, defense is their bread and butter as last year showed.
I think the AFC West is one of the tougher divisions in football to call this year. |

It's Paxton Lynch I'm excited about.
I ain't expecting much out of Sanchez. Just do well enough to get us through the season and hope Paxton Lynch is ready to go. |

NFL considering placing chips inside of game balls this preseason and Thursday games as a way to help tweak certain rules in the future and help out refs in the near future.
K balls would help determine if the goal posts should get narrower to make FGs and extra points even harder to make. Regular balls would help refs in regards to being more accurate when spotting the ball after downs. Only issue being science is split on how effective it is when dogpiles occur. Quote:

NFL dealing with another possible scandal regarding concussions after a special committee outed one of the medical advisers on the NFL's payroll who interferred with government studies on the issue.
At least six NFL-paid medical advisers were revealed to have been interfering with the studies being done. Quote:

Ryan Fitzpatrick signed a 1 year, $12 million deal with the Jets. Jets pretty much gave an ultimatium for him to sign it today or leave since they didn't want to be bothered any more with talks.
Rams recently released Nick Foles after he requested it once trades were no longer possible. Terms of the request included both his guaranteed money and whatever the Rams would have to cover in any new deal being reduced. Cowboys set to be fined around $250k due to suspensions involving its players for this season as part of new NFL rules. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...pended-players |
