Congratulations to Rams fans and bettors hehe. My bet was on the Bengals, however, I am also very happy for Matt Stafford. Everyone appears to have thought that he was not a good player because he did not bring good results with the Detroit Lions. Was there anything to be expected for being a quarterback in Detroit?

Also, everyone should welcome the NFL in the community. People will be bagholding NFLcoin during the bear market hehehe.

Great game and a great way to close out the season with another game down to the end.  Was one of the better playoffs this year than I've seen in years past.  A lot of great teams in the afc those playoffs should be great for years to come.  Onto the draft!  Giants got 2 of the first 7.  It's a start...

I will admit that I was underestimating Stafford, I knew the Lions were bad but I did thought that he was just one of those QBs that put great stats and that was it, but he was in fact the difference maker and pulled out a great drive just when his team need it, so while the Rams had to give away a lot to bring him there now we can see they were justified in doing so despite the criticism they received at the beginning of the season for that trade.

It was definitely a good game. I figured that the Rams were going to win but something was just telling me that I should bet on the Bengals. What I’m trying to say is I had no idea who was going to win lol. I had Cincy at + 4.5 so that obviously worked out well. I’m not going to lie though my favorite part of that game was the halftime show. I absolutely loved it which seems to be the consensus.

We laughed at Covid Cam, however was he in the right side of science? I am presently beginning to speculate that everything that has happened for the last 2 years was done for these pharaceutical companies to sell more vaccines that do not really work and which are also unnecessary.



NFL, NFLPA agree to suspend joint COVID-19 protocols

The NFL and the NFL Players Association have agreed to halt all aspects of their joint COVID-19 protocols, effective immediately.

Operations will return to normal following nearly two years of restrictions, the league relayed in a memo on Thursday, obtained by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

It is a long-awaited awaited announcement as there will be no more requirements for masks, tracking devices, surveillance testing or capacity limits, unless they are required by state or local laws.

In any case, this is the lastest news from Tom Brady. When will the teams begin trading for players? What is the situation on Jimmy G and Trey Lance? Is Trey Lance ready to be the quarterback?



Now, Brady is adding more fuel to this speculation. The quarterback appeared with Fred Couples on SiriusXM radio and Couples asked him this question: "Maybe you can tell us where you're going?"

To that, Brady gave a labyrinthine answer that does seem to leave the door open a smidge.

"I tell you, I wish I had a clear vision of what the future holds," said Brady, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. "I think for me, there's a lot of great things and a lot of great opportunities that I know I said right after football season. I was looking forward to spending time with my family. And I've done that the last five weeks. And I know there'll be a lot more of that, too.

"So, you know, I like staying busy, that's for sure. I played a little bit of golf and I'm actually gonna see my parents tonight, which will be a real highlight for me on their turf. I'll be sleeping in the same bed I slept at when I was a kid. I don't think my mom knows I'm coming home yet. So it's just between my dad and I, it is a little bit of a surprise. So looking forward to that, looking forward to some golf in the next few days and some more family time, and then we'll figure out where we go from there."

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been suspended for at least the 2022 season after gambling on games in 2021.

Actually what caught my eye is a bit deeper in the article:

The NFL learned of Ridley's betting activity through its relationships within the legal sports betting industry

Lesson for all NFL players - if you want to gamble, find an illegal casino.

I got this news alert on my phone late yesterday afternoon. Part of me feels bad for this guy. No one knows what he’s truly going through with his year off of football already. He did only get $1500 on a few parlays and when he bet for the Falcons in those parlays he always bet ON the Falcons (would have been really ugly had it been the opposite). Also to his credit is stepping up and being honest about it the moment Goodell asked him about it. Hope he’s okay mentally is all.

Lol right.

It seems a bit harsh with the decision to suspend Ridley indefinitely, i know they have it in the CBA and players are well aware that they are not allowed to bet on games etc. Idk, betting $1.5k on a few parlays while dude was away from the team, at the same time the NFL cashes in billions of dollars through sponsorship deals with major sports betting companies. Owners allegedly trying to pay coaches to lose games on purpose, referring to Stephen Ross and the Dolphins. Beating someone, such as your girlfriend/fiancé, gets you a 2/4 game suspension, throw a few bucks on your team to win and you're done:

Anyways, what's everyone's first reaction to the recent QB trades and moves? Rodgers staying with Green Bay, Wilson to the Broncos, Wentz traded to Washington, back in the NFC East. Rumors are the Giants are interested in Trubisky, Colts in Jimmy G...

[suchmoon]

Rodgers staying with Green Bay

He got what he wanted, allegedly the highest-paid player now. Doesn't seem to be concerned with winning - no a lot of cap space left for other players.

I'm sure Giants will go to SB next year with Trubisky.

I'm sure Giants will go to SB next year with Trubisky.

I’m not so sure about this, they first reported that he had signed a four year 200 million contract (150 guaranteed) but then he took to twitter saying those reports were false and that he was just reporting that he was coming back for at least just one year. I’m not sure they’ve even announced what that one year payment is going to be.

Yeah but he has a tenuous relationship with the truth, doesn't he?

I'd be shocked if he settled for less than Mahomes.

Kick me in the nads why don't you.  Teams making moves and giants on the block for mitch lol.  No doubt they are an insta favorite if they land mitch.giants better fix their line this year otherwise they will need to dress 5 to 6 qbs to make sure they have someone left at the end of the game that knows how to throw the egg.

As a Bears fan I’ve got no love for that guy lol. It’s been brutal having two divas who were/are incredibly good top 10 all time players, who are douchey divas (one being a pervert).

I still don’t think they’ve announced what Rodgers is getting paid for the one year he’s agreed to. He did get more of he wanted though, tagging Adams, bringing in an old QB coach I believe. He’ll destroy the North and NFC again per usual, I hate him.



In other news Kalil Mack getting traded was a big one. Wasn’t completely unexpected. Not sure what to think of it really. I guess the Bears likely will suck next year so trade a guy in the final years of his prime, and build for the future .

[bbc.reporter]

Brady the goat is back as predicted hehehe. He is not playing in San Francisco as speculated, however. That would have created a more exciting preseason trade and another exciting situation on the beginning of the regular season on September. We cannot have everything hehe.

In any case, Brady will certainly be in my draft list again on our next fantasy football. When are we going to begin this?



These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG

Lol he's already tired of being non rostered.  I wonder what the change in odds is post announcement.  Wish I made a bet on them after he first announced.  Well as a giant fan it makes no difference whose on top 😂

[morvillz7z]

No way the Chargers are not at least 11/12 wins team next season with that defense: Bosa, Derwin James and the new signings Mack and JC Jackson. 

Lots of interesting moves around the NFL today, but it's funny what the Cowboys decided to do with their receivers. They traded Amari Cooper to Cleveland for a fifth-round pick, but gave Gallup a $62.5 million contract despite the fact that he played six fewer games than Cooper last year, had 400 fewer receiving yards, and 2 TDs to Amari's 8TDs.

Lol yeah I sure as shit wish I had put money down on Brady too. Not just winning the super bowl bud to win the division and conference. Did you see how there was as sports book who took some big bets, unusual bets on the Bucs and they believe it was insider info ..

“There’s not a doubt in my mind that they knew he was coming back when they placed those wagers on Thursday,” Kornegay said. “And these were not casual bettors. They would be categorized as educated bettors. It wasn’t a guy with a Tom Brady jersey at the counter. It was a player that we would describe as sharp. With that type of play and the announcement we heard (Sunday) that he was unretiring, there was information that was shared prior to his official announcement”.

“There is no doubt in my mind that information leaked sometime in the middle of last week. This is concerning. I don’t think I’ve ever said the NFL really needs to investigate something. But this is something they need to look into and how it got out, because there are many books that took some sizable wagers in the middle of last week.”

NFL will find that Chucky placed those bets in 2011.

Agreed! This is very good news after witnessing the Chargers lose their final regular season game because of their weaknesses in their defense. Justin Herbert certainly deserved more after that type of performance. Herbert was also my planned first choice quarterback for our next draft, however, with the goat Brady coming back from his fake retirement, it appears that I might choose him again first before any quarterback hehe.

Yeah the Chargers are going to be a force to reckon with for years to come.  Justin Herbert is one hell of a quarterback. They are pretty stacked all around on offense.  It's amazing how there are so many good newer quarterbacks in the league but of course my Chicago Bears select a guy who looks like crap lol.  I guess I need to give him time to get adjusted (and under a better coach) but I sure wish we had Herbert.  I could definitely see a deep run by the Chargers this coming year.
