Re: 2020 NFL Season
I haven't watched any football yet this season but I might tune in for tonight's game. It's the Raiders first game in Las Vegas, I want to see what the new stadium looks like.

Re: 2020 NFL Season
The default position for the Jests is they're going to s***. Now with Saquan Barkley out for the year, I think the Giants are going to be right there with them.

Re: 2020 NFL Season
Said it already, I'm just sad for Saquon being stuck behind that garbage O-line.
And you are right, when people talk about 'the worst NY team' it's no longer clear which one is being discussed. I thought we were in a 3-way for 2nd place in the NFC east but somehow the Falcons blew a 20 point lead and the Cowgirls won. Why does that sound familiar?

Re: 2020 NFL Season
I read that 3 NFL coaches were each fined $100,000 for not wearing face masks during Sunday's games. The 3 teams were also fined $250,000. I watched a little of last night's game and they showed both coaches without face masks. Sean Payton, Jon Gruden, the New Orleans Saints and the Las Vegas Raiders probably should get their checkbooks out.

Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers died. He was 77 and had been suffering from dementia.

Re: 2020 NFL Season
Very sad. Too young to have seen him as a player but I still cry over that movie. I read in his obit that he applied for front office jobs with every single team and never got a single interview.
And yet another retired player with dementia. Glad my kid gave it up after high school.

Re: 2020 NFL Season
He retired after only 7 years in the NFL because of knee injuries. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he was 34, the youngest inductee in the history of the Hall. I didn't see him play very often because his career was before the days of multiple networks broadcasting pretty much every game each week. He was one of the greatest running backs ever. Not as great as Jim Brown, but he was up there.

"That movie"... Brian's Song (1971) - Based on the real-life relationship between teammates Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers and the bond established when Piccolo discovers that he is dying. We all cried...

Re: 2020 NFL Season
Maybe not as great as Brown...he definitely had a much different style, but had he'd stayed healthy who's to say. While his career listed at 7 seasons, in reality his career lasted 5 seasons (his final 2 seasons stopped short at 2 games each due to injuries). He also missed 5 games in his 4th season in which he was on pace to have his career year rushing wise.LIPH wrote: ↑September 23, 2020 10:41 pm He retired after only 7 years in the NFL because of knee injuries.

Despite his electric play, he played for crappy Bears teams. Us Lion fans can relate to superstar running backs playing for crappy teams

Re: 2020 NFL Season
I don't know if the Jests and Giants play each other this year but if they don't, they both might go 0-16.

Re: 2020 NFL Season
At least the Giants stink.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

The whole division stinks. Washington just stinks the least - so far.

Re: 2020 NFL Season
Are the Browns actually as good as they look today or are the Cowgirls just really bad?
