Great read on how fucked up the Browns were and still are:

Eagles trade picks with Browns for #2 overall.

$34 million guaranteed to Bradford and Daniel, and they are going to draft a QB. Eagles gonna Eagle?

Wow... so, a year after the big Bradford-for-Foles trade, the 2 teams involved have now traded up to presumably take the top 2 QBs in the draft.

Whichever QB they get that the Rams don't pick, you still just re-signed Bradford to stupid money, you just paid a career backup stupid money, and now fucked your 2017 draft for someone who you would be smart to not play for a couple years.

Why not get Hackenburg in the second or third round? It'd play well locally, too.

Not to mention I believe I read that no QB is Day 1 starter ready.

I'll happily take it, I don't get the Eagles reasoning, but I'm happy with the haul the Browns got. Now the tricky part, to not screw them up...

$50 million guaranteed. Skins always pay.

Johnny Manziel indicted on misdemeanor assault charge

DALLAS — A Dallas County grand jury has handed down a true bill of indictment against former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, a person in the district attorney's office told WFAA-TV. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the indictment had not been announced.

The indictment, on a misdemeanor assault charge, is expected to be formally announced Monday.

Manziel’s family violence case was heard by a grand jury Thursday. He is accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, in Dallas in late January.

She claimed Manziel hit her so hard he burst her eardrum. Part of the alleged assault happened at Hotel ZaZa in Uptown Dallas, where the two had been together the night of Jan. 29.







USA TODAY

Vernon Adams: Draft me before every QB except Carson Wentz


Typically, the grand jury hears only felony cases, but the Dallas Police Department wanted Manziel’s case to be heard by a grand jury to see if there was enough evidence to indict and arrest the embattled former Heisman Trophy winner.

The grand jury that reviewed the evidence in Manziel’s case had just been sworn in.

A protective order was signed at the beginning of February that prevents Manziel from seeing Crowley for two years. Court documents state he must stay at least 500 feet away from his ex-girlfriend’s home and place of work.

Manziel hasn’t avoided headlines since the assault allegations surface. He has been dropped by two agents in two months, and was accused of causing over $30,000 in damage at a Los Angeles home during a party earlier this month.

They should start by ignoring the advice from everyone involved in picking Manziel. OK sure maybe someone thought he was worth the roll of the dice. But as Maya Angelou says, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Who talked themselves into believing that fame and more money would be the right things to turn a party boy into a serious QB?

The media is about to explode

https://bangordailynews.com/2016/04/...-court-ruling/

A U.S. appeals court on Monday restored the four-game “Deflategate” suspension of New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady over allegations footballs were underinflated before an NFL playoff game last year.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York reversed a federal judge’s ruling from September. The appeals court ruled that in imposing the suspension, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell properly exercised his discretion under a collective bargaining agreement.

Should have been suspended last year, and would have if the judge didn't have him on his fantasy team

I'm legit shocked. The evidence was shit.

So, reading it, it basically sounds like it didn't matter what the evidence was, what King Roger wants, he gets.

So, I just heard on sports radio that Sam Bradford wants "out"...?

What's he smoking...he thinks another team will sign him to what the Eagles want to pay him?

It was straight forward only in the sense that the NFL won because Goodell's powers were enumerated in the CBA. It wasn't won on evidence.

You mean the evidence that was on Brady's phone? The court ruling addressed that too

The ONLY positive that could come of this is we'll be able to see what Jimmy G has for talent. In addition to it being 4 less games of hits Tommy boy has to take

Hrm...if I were the Rams, I would've taken Wentz.


And was not expecting Bears to take Lloyd at 9...but, he's intriguing. As for the Sushis...not sure about Tunsil because he may be a suspension waiting to happen with his need to drug it up.

Come on Yum you can do better than sushis. Someone certainly targeted Tunsil. Rumor it could be his stepfather as there was a lawsuit involved. First they leak right when the draft starts the gasmask smoking week pic. Then when he gets picked a conversation with an Asst AD to help pay for the rent. OMG so Dolphins!
