    Newton, Agholor & Bourne not enough? :) future QB addressed in draft? All those defenders back as well. Belichick does prefer FA to the draft.

    So it's Fitzmagic for WFT. Pat's and Jets showing their cap space spending muscles.

    Death List 2021

    Bad weekend for sport. Firstly Murray Walker quite literally the voice of a sport for so many years. Now one of the greatest fighters of all time Marvelous Marvin Hagler passed at just 66. Destroyed several top British fighters in an illustrious career. Was a golden generation for...

    That's the leveller. With equal opportunities Jets and Lions consistently blow it - that's down to ownership and management. Maybe the only downside is if you're successful in one particular draft. If you nail all 7 picks chances are high you'll have to lose at least 4 of them after 4-5 years...

    That's part of the beauty of the sport. It's a built-in cyclical nature. A 2-14 team can win titles within 2-3 years. Teams can reset and go for it. Combination of the draft and cap can make any team relevant with the decent management. Next week we're going to see a lot of last season's weaker...

    Fear of being bad rather desire to be excellent seems to be the some team mantras. Do not see how paying Cousins or Prescott gets you any closer to winning a Superbowl for example. Examples of good (but not great QBs. ) who can win games but not titles.

    Then Brady reverts to norm and restructures his contract to allow Buccs to keep a winning team together - just like he used to at the Pats.

    Be surprised if it's the Bears unless they are going to offer some of their defensive talent (which Carroll will love). Can see the Bears over-valuing Mack in trade terms. Don't have great draft capital. Plus isn't there is the 30 odd million in dead money the Seahawks would have to eat if he...

    Teams putting themselves in trouble. There is no middle market for non-elite but good QBs. Prescott deal good example - maybe good enough to get Dallas back to a winning record but is not a Superbowl QB. Go down the list of cap space and it's dominated by teams with QBs on rookie contracts or...

    None of the last 10 Superbowl winners RBs has earned more than 3 million a season. You just can't have a single player taking such large % of your cap. Going to be hard for any team to win a Superbowl going forward when they are paying their QB over 20% of their available cap.

    Good news for WFT fans - Cowboys paid Prescott. In salary cap hell for next couple of seasons going to be losing a lot of good players to pay a top 15 QB.

    Shameful. Even here nurses have already had minimum bonuses equating to at least an extra 2 months salary and are projected to get a double digit % wage increase.

    Year on here from first COVID cases here and "celebrated" with announcement of another major lockdown for at least next 2 weeks. My wife (high risk) hardly been anywhere except daughter's house (only 500 metres away) for a year. Reputable vaccine options even for her are at least 2 months...

    feel sorry for C4. But pretty inept from England this series. Losing 1 thing but not being competitive is another. COVID may be a reason but this team looked hopelessly prepared for this series. Bairstow was being heralded as England's best player of spin 12 months ago

    One NFL head coach saying next week is going to be "a massacre" as teams are going to cut a lot of players as cap should be confirmed.

    Be surprised if they let him go this season but don't expect things to improve. But pressure could shift to Carroll and wouldn't be surprised to see him fired if Seahawks have a lees than stellar 2021. Saints don't have much draft capital so unless they're offering some good players (to help...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    It's either everyone stops interfering or no-one does. Syrian conflict was drawn out as Russia backed Assad for their own purposes. Iraq and Yemen will continue to be proxy battlegrounds for proponents of either side of Islamic "war" as someone will arm them. The West stops selling arms to...
