My Seahawks will never have an offensive line.

And the ratbirds get Dobbins

I've heard of the two players Indy drafted...I guess that seems fine. Do Wisco RBs pan out...? I feel like they've had a bunch that kinda flamed out at this level...maybe just coincidence or maybe I'm just wrong...

[MR25]

The last decent one was... Melvin Gordon?

I hate everything

Raiders running 6 wide this season? 81 picks in and they’ve taken 3 WRs.

[MR25]

Do you expect anything different from the Raiders?

Geez, does every draft pick have some sort of tug-on-the-heartstrings, sad story? It seems every time Wingo introduces the player, he has to add an aside of this player's relative died here or this one's in the hospital there.

It was horrible. How many great moments for these picks did ESPN ruin last night with their hideously morbid and exploitative coverage? Pathetic.

I thought it was maybe one or two draft picks at first, then the more I started paying attention it felt like it was probably half of the picks in the first round.

I'm sure some writer had to keep track of this.

no stats, but it has been noticed

Anderson isn't exaggerating, either, as Shula was quoted using the "Beli-cheat" phrase as recently as 2015.

I never really thought one way or another about Shula, but I like him better now.

Dolphins were the team in the early 70's and then not so much since then.

I didn't realize how few losing seasons Shula had during his tenure in Miami, despite never getting back to win a Super Bowl after the 70s.

Which naturally led me to thinking about Tomlin.

Shula was a good coach, but overrated IMO. Throughout the 80s and 90s, Marino threw his way to victory. And Shula basically never once since the early 80s surrounded Marino with anything near a complete team. If there were offensive weapons, the defense was crap. And vice versa. A coach isn’t totally responsible for personnel decisions but Shula had more pull than most

But Shula seemed like a great guy. Met him once and he was super cool

NFL star Earl Thomas is lucky to be alive after cops say his wife held a loaded gun less than a foot from his head ... after she allegedly caught him cheating with another woman.

It's all spelled out in court documents obtained by TMZ Sports ... detailing a violent April 13 altercation involving the Baltimore Ravens player, Nina Thomas and several other people.

The Austin Police Dept. responded to a home in the Austin, Texas area at 3:41 AM after getting a call about a disturbance.

When cops arrived, they say "we observed that a black female wearing an orange sweater with a knife in her hand, later identified as Nina Thomas, was chasing a shirtless black male, later identified as Earl Thomas, with a pistol in his hand around a vehicle."

Cops drew their weapons and ordered both Nina and Earl to the ground -- and they complied without incident. That's when the investigation began and things got WILD.

Nina claims Earl, 30, left their home earlier in the day after an argument over the NFL player's drinking. She claims Earl's brother, Seth Thomas, picked him up.

But, a short time later, she decided to check on his whereabouts by logging into his Snapchat account -- and that's when she says she found video of Earl with another woman.

Nina says she used Earl's Snapchat account to track his location to a nearby Airbnb rental home ... and says she called up two other women to help her confront Earl at the pad. Nina also claims she grabbed Earl's pistol, a 9mm Berreta, in the process with the intention to "scare him."

When the women arrived at the house, they "discovered Earl and Seth naked in bed with other women."

That's when Nina admits she pulled out the gun and put it to Earl's head -- stating "that she took out the magazine thinking that the gun could not fire." But, cops say Nina was "unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber."

Cops say one of the women in the house shot cell phone video of the incident ... which they say shows Nina pointing the gun at Earl's head "from less than a foot away and it can clearly be seen that Nina's finger was on the trigger and the safety is disengaged."

[nocera]

Yeah who hasn't had their significant other threaten them with a loaded gun after being caught in bed with another woman and your brother? Leave the dude alone.

I wonder if pete carrol told him "stuff like this happens" when thomas broke his leg in his contract year
