Are the NFL's New Jersey Generals still playing there? They had an owner that threatened to put the NFL out of business about 35-40 years ago. Today, that guy is selling gold high top sneakers as a fund raiser to help pay for his fraud charges while the NFL continues to get wealthier. Maybe Cal can share a selfie or 2 in his new sneakers to show us how adorable they look.

Well done - thanks Gumbs! This question is for anyone that wants to answer it. Who are the guys or position groups that interest you the most? Since I usually wait for the Draft Mags to familiarize myself with the names and ranks of prospects I'll say OL, Safety, LB, WR (and hope FA/trades help other areas - ie: Berry did a nice job with this for DL last year before drafting a couple in rounds 3 and 4). The Combines are always a great lead into the information I see in the mags. Online stuff looks helpful to those of you already looking into it all. There's just some old school habits I never kick; and football mags are one of them. Having said that, if anyone has any football/draft sites to recommend to our fans in here - that'll be greatly appreciated!

crazy working hours. little spare time, so in short,
Waltersfootball nicely updated their site of popups. The Draft Network site, ruined it's site by non-escaping video, to not load any article or player scouting reports
paid little, web scouting ? (slim at best)

In my early 20's I was a huge Street&Smiths fan... I was really big on following stats and numbers back then. They had a great format with the way they put charts and info together in a concise easy to read format.. And the stories and interviews were great! Incidentally... I found this old gem in my art portofolio.. How it wound up there.. I have no clue lol!

30 years ago, at the height of SportsCenter kid-dom, I knew most players on the board and everyone drafted in the first 4-5 rounds.
Today, I couldn't name 2 or 3 players from my favorite college team in the draft.

Today, I forget names of players in college and pro a lot more than I used to. Some of that is because I'm about to turn 60; but most of it is I don't spend nearly as much time as I used on the same things. Aside from that, I don't remember losing multiple starters in the active roster from week to week back in the 80s, 90s and even early on in the new millennium. It used to be this is the roster and these are the situational rotation guys when the rules kept the physics safer and the injuries reduced. Just my perception of it all fwiw.

You and I are crossing that same geriatric threshold.. For me these days its lack of patience and short term focus... There are just more important things to focus on in the grand scheme of things and all the things with current events going on in the world... But I can still appreciate seeing someone like Amari Cooper who give his all.. And admire for him for his hard work and dedication.. There's beauty in that... Or even a guy whose not on your football team... An anomoly like Lamar Jackson.. Who despite the team he plays on.. I can appreciate his dedication to his craft.. He's a good kid who works hard.. And isn't making any headlines off the field.

It's amazing that all the bitching and griping by the NFLPA about training camp; therefore, virtually no training camp, no contact, and the increased rules favoring player safety and teams have more contact injuries than ever.
And with all of the advancements in sports science and the increase of performance over the last 20 years and non-contact injuries seem to be higher than ever.

It's like pitchers not playing full complete games and getting injuries all the time...Repetitions are important...

And Gibson was known as a flamethrower back in the day, often times exceeding his usual 92-95 mph fastball. Not quite Nolan Ryan 100+ mph, but he usually stayed out there longer if you don't just focus on all of Ryan's two, one and no hitters (total of 37---18,12 and 7 respectively).

Yeah but how much of any of that above would have mattered if he wasn't from Texas? Unlike Roger Clemens, no steroids required - so there's no misremembering to play dodgeball with... ?

This, again, is our important date. We have 2 draft picks in the top 100 (#'s 54 & 85). Help for 2024 team improvement will need to come from Free Agency....and trades. That's a tough way for Berry to make a living.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
Help for 2024 team improvement will need to come from Free Agency....and trades.
Zac Jackson, The Athletic
Berry-led Browns again figure to be focusing on adding experienced players to the roster in March and the months that follow, April’s draft is also important — even as they have to wait to join the party.
Cleveland is slated to pick at No. 54 in the second round, but in the previous two years, the Browns traded down and started their drafts in the third round. Added WR Elijah Moore over the 42nd pick value of last season & a Jets 3rd round pick.
Even if the Browns think Tillman/Bell may take a big leap. Both Cooper and Moore are in the final year of their current contracts in 2024.
A significant move for a veteran in March seems possible again (pick 54 and if cap money fits), but the Browns still should be looking to add pop to the group via a deep WR draft class.
While several Browns positions of need could also become, Combine tampering diner talks.
ESPN Cleveland Tony Rizzo
Needless to say, that rubbed ESPN Cleveland personality Tony Rizzo the wrong way, as it would be the third time in as many years that they don’t have a pick in the first or second rounds (via ESPN Cleveland).
However, there’s a possibility that they could flip that pick for the right guy, such as, say, Mike Evans/Jerry Jeudy assuming a proven veteran becomes available.
Nonetheless, Rizzo would rather the team have some young players on rookie contracts instead of adding more veterans on big-time deals, and he might be right.
This team is built to compete right now, but championship windows could close drastically and suddenly in professional sports, especially in the NFL.
The front office has done a solid job of putting together a competitive team while still maintaining some salary-cap flexibility, and GM Andrew Berry claimed that will continue to be his approach going forward.
