"We would do 7v7 and he'd scramble." LOL! Ninko roastes TEbow.

So I discovered a nice NFL channel with some surprising new facts and unknown stories I never knew about NFL and NFL Draft. Like this one....





- Tex Schramm was GM then in his final season there. He was looking at James Francis and was gonna trade up to #13 for him with Kansas City. A deal was struck then but only if Francis was there....

The Zach Wilson drafted #2 to the Jets story is already paying dividends... to the New York Media.

Because they're reporting on his mom. From her appearance on TV during his draft process where at first, people were like, his mom's kind of attractive... and then as social media started to mention her, they started to interact with her on it. And she's... well... she's a lot. Like anti-masker, "women on Snapchat are whores", etc. a lot. And people are already feeling a sense of deja vu from when Eli Apple got drafted #10 by the Giants and his mother was thrust into the NY media spotlight.

These... aren't the headlines the Jets must want. Or Zach Wilson, really.

That much is obvious. Unfortunately, it sounds like that cat is already out of the bag, good for the voracious New York media, bad for Wilson and the Jets.

I googled Zach Wilson's mom and was like....




Such a shame she's really like this as we see. Can't she be a hot lady without the crazy ?

Here's my thing... every time he lines up to take a snap, someone in the front 7 of the opposing defense is going to start making comments about Zach's mom. This will only lead to mind games getting wrapped up with a bow for Jets' opponents to mess with the kid. Warren Sapp, in his day, did research on opposing QB's to trash talk them based on their own team's media guides just to get in their heads. Anyone who sees this story and goes, "Whatever..."

I wouldn't write it off. There's no guarantee this won't help mess with the kid.

Wilson will need to sit down with mom ASAP and basically tell her to cool it. I've heard stories over the last few weeks that Tom Brady's dad was just as much of a big mouth, but the New England omerta kept him in check. it's only since Brady took his talents to Tampa that his dad removed the shackles and opened up.

Yeah, I feel like there are going to be teams' draft scouts now sizing up players' families to avoid bulletin board material getting farmed to other teams for free.

I mean, there are some draft busts that have happened and had teams scrutinized the parents beforehand, they could have avoided some headaches. Todd Marinovich comes to mind.

Oh, and given all the drama in Jacksonville with Urban Meyer taking over, bringing in a dirtbag strength and conditioning coach, some guy named Tebow, and the first two picks the Jags made being exciting rookies in Lawrence & Etienne... the best bet is that Jacksonville is gonna be on HBO's Hard Knocks this year. Current rumor I'm seeing circulating that makes WAY too much sense.

Dallas is probably the #2 likely scenario, because... well, you have Dak's return, and Jerrah being Jerrah.

I think Arizona would be the bronze medal choice, given the free agent haul where they brought in JJ Watt, AJ Green, and trading for Rodney Hudson and have Kyler Murray trying to make the jump into the playoffs... I'll note, though, that Arizona has never been on Hard Knocks, because I don't think there's enough national interest or stories that have been on the team for folks to want it.

Denver, NY Giants, and Carolina are also eligible. These are the six scenarios, based on the "No team that has been on Hard Knocks within the past 10 years", "No team with a new head coach", and "No team that made the playoffs the previous year" rules.

But the "Will Tebow make the roster?" thing has got to make Deval County the most likely filming location.

Proving the Patriots Way does have some real benefits. Not having to deal with the stupidity of fame whoring parents is a big plus.

Rumors are flying around that NE is trading a 22 R1, a 23 R2 & R3 for Julio.

[CSTowle]

I hope not. Extend Gilmore and Jackson, keep the defensive core. If Mac "Nobama" Jones proves me wrong and ends up being a decent QB you can attract decent and not quite as aging WRs for significantly cheaper who might be on the upswing of their careers, rather than on the decline with health issues and a very expensive cap hit, if you have a great defense and a great coach/organization. Losing Gilmore and Jackson next year means everything else gets weaker. I'm sure Julio, when healthy, would be an upgrade to our chances this year. But if the question was would I rather Gilmore and Jackson this year or Julio? I go Gilmore and Jackson. That goes double for next year, and the year after that. We're not a piece away. This is a rebuild, might take several to truly be competitive. And that's if Mac Jones isn't Johnny Manziel 2.0.

I can't see Bill Belichick giving that much up for a WR who is 33 and had injury issues the last season. Remember he only gave up a 4th rd pick to the Oakland Raiders for a 30 year old Randy Moss. And this was Moss without injury issues. Belichick if he gives up this much is...likely desperate as hell at this stage. (But i can't see him doing that)

Logically I'd say that Jones is worth a 2nd or 3rd. Maybe 2 draft picks at most.

I agree. Say what you will about Darth Hoodie, but it's damn hard to imagine him being desperate, not when he's close to 70 and his place in Canton is already reserved.

Got an alert from Bleacher Report that, after ten years in Washington, Ryan Kerrigan will be taking his talents to South Philly and sign with the Eagles. I certainly didn't see this move coming.
