He is not gonna be in the league this year It amazes me that guys continue to refuse to get help and sacrifice millions upon millions of dollars. Two of the most talented WRs in recent memory (Blackmon and Gordon) and neither of them will be suiting up on Sundays this year. Who knows? Maybe never again.

Just think: If they would have just beaten their wives or girlfriends instead of doing drugs & alcohol, they'd be playing football this year.

Brian Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 So Fox is putting Erin ANdrews on their A Team broadcast and dropping Pam Oliver to the 2nd team. People are crying race or just because Erin is younger and more attractive. I personally think all sideline reporters are mostly worthless anyway. http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/erin-andre...1-nfl-team.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I have no problem with Pam Oliver, she always seemed to do a good job. I wish they would drop Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to the 4th team or something like that. What is the lowest team they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Erin Andrews is better than 95% of the other sideline reporters. She weirdly gets criticized since she has a pretty face. Just don't let her do baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I just wish they were only used for injury reports. Their insight into what players are saying to eachother are always worthless "And Brady walked over to him and said 'Let's go get it', back to you John". I used to hate Siragusa, who seemed to only pop in to talk about sausages in the crowd, but recently I think he's been better. He adds some insight on what holes opened up, etc. They should try to implement more of those. Edited July 15, 2014 by bmags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think so. If the Saints can just franchise him for $7 million instead of $12 million, you would think they do that as many years as allowed. He knows that, so might as well take the guaranteed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The Vikings conducted an internal investigation about whether releasing P Chris Kluwe was driven by his outspokenness in favor of equal rights for homosexuals. The Vikings previously pledged to release the results of that report. Today they shifted positions and no longer intend to release that report. I was totally willing to believe the Vikes cut him for no reason other than the normal he was expensive and there were cheaper options...until right now.

Yep; It most definitely had an impact on things, however, his threat of a hold-out also, likely had an impact which was why he ultimately got paid above the franchise figure, long-term.

I was totally willing to believe the Vikes cut him for no reason other than the normal he was expensive and there were cheaper options...until right now. FWIW the Vikings are denying they ever promised to make it public. And I have to believe them unless Kluwe or his attorney comes up with written confirmation of that. That's something you're going to memorialize and not just keep as an oral promise. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11218287...ct-mike-priefer Also, LOL at his lawsuit. Sadly the PR hit will probably be too big for the Vikings and the League so i'm sure they'll settle, but that case has no shot unless Kluwe admits he's gay. Not sure how religion plays into this, and there was no defamation. Tortuous interference is possible, but he was not under contract at the time was he? I don't remember.
