Just had a message regarding website resource overload - website unavailable - try again later..... freaky! I blame Russian/Chinease hackers and Patriots fans.

If you go to see who is online, there are just a few actual members, and 2-3 guests. The guests are trying to send private messages to every member, making it overload the server.

While the Colts ranked 22nd out of 32 teams on this player survey, the defending 2-time world champion Kansas City Chiefs ranked ...... 31st.

[Mr. Session]

That NFLPA rating thing is curious to me.

I think I saw it pointed out on Reddit how the organization allegedly regressed in the "family friendly" area vs where they were last year (INDY Specifically). Some of the talking heads opined that child care was an aspect of this (General NFL, not just INDY).

First of all. I suspect Stiechen has a no bullshit attitude and some of the stuff that used to fly no longer does. As a fan, the product on the field was undoubtedly better than what we saw in YEARS - with a backup QB. I think most, if not all of us, would probably say the majority of this season was fun to watch. A relieving change of pace, considering the post Luck era. Why do I give a shit about that?

What I'm trying to ask is, why is this actually important? Kansas City is apparently a shit organization yet they consistently put up the best product? Does this serve any other legitimate purpose other than trying to shit on ownership? Perhaps it is what ownership will make out of it, but KC is showing how much value is in that.

I also think the player's gripes about child care are ridiculous, but I'm not guaranteed at least 13K a week to play a game for a living, so I guess I just wouldn't get it.

How many stories did we always hear about a guy going to NE and having an issue with how Belichick ran things?

I don't keep up with this grading system, but if you're asking players about a coach, for example... most of them are going to bring up a "player's coach." It's why that moniker exists in the first place: players like him.

Happens to be the case that most "player's coaches" don't run a tight ship and things get fucked up.

Oh, and get fucked with the child care.

Winning and money are all these players really care about...and not necessarily in that order.

The rest is eaither petty bitching or them not even taking the survey seriously.

Looks like a couple of former Colts are being released by their current teams for salary cap relief and will become free agents:

Giants plan to release veteran G Mark Glowinski, sources told Jordan Raanan and me. The release saves $5.7M on the cap.

Glowinski was easily the Giants highest-rated guard this past season, per PFF, 25th overall with a 64.8 grade

Bills plan to release RB Nyheim Hines this week, per source.

Hines most likely will be ready for training camp after recovering from the ACL injury that he suffered last summer, per source.

Looks like the Jags will acquire a new back-up QB via a trade for a 6th Round Draft Pick:

Trade: Patriots are finalizing a deal to send QB Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources tell ESPN.

The trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins Wednesday and he passes a physical.

The two sides were discussing a 6th-round pick, per sources.

Jones was born in Jacksonville; now he has the chance to go home.

https://twitter.com/jjones9/status/1766844403522380055

The Jaguars had the best — and only — offer for Mac Jones as of yesterday, source says.

A sixth-round pick for the former No. 15 overall selection.

Jones returns to his hometown to backup Trevor Lawrence. ESPN first on the trade.

This is news from a team in which the Colts would very likely have to go through if they have any aspirations of winning an AFC Championship any time soon.
