General off-season news thread

[albany ed]

I say you keep both QBs. They're both off the books after next season, and at this point, you don't even know if you have a season or if you do, how that season gets played out.

Sounds prudent.

All things considered, the Brissett situation is not disastrous ........ the Colts are paying a quarterback for one additional season that they (in hindsight) would rather not, as opposed to 3 or 4 additional seasons.

I guess this is like when they sent all those 19-0 SB champions shirts to Africa

The best toilet paper (imo) is the Charmin in the red package. Ultra Strong. I have 2 rolls of it left, but I've been foraging alternative rolls to use in the mean time during this pandemic. I'll break out the Charmin in celebration when/if we get through this. Only 16 months to go or thereabouts...if we're lucky. Stay well freaks!

I can understand some debate between Saturday and Vinatieri, but ultimately I think Saturday has to be number one, and how the hell do you even consider putting Darius Butler ahead of Saturday?

I think so, too.

In fact, I think that you could even make an argument that Jim "Captain Comeback" Harbaugh should be higher than Darius Butler, also ........ prior to the Peyton Manning era, the 2 big shots-in-the-arm that the Indy portion of the franchise (post 1983) got which lifted it to respectability were the Eric Dickerson trade which resulted in records of 9-6, 9-7, and 8-8 in 1987, 1988, and 1989 respectively, and the back-to-back playoff appearances in 1995 and 1996 which were led by Jim Harbaugh.

Prior to the Eric Dickerson trade, the Colts had 3 consecutive laughingstock seasons in 1984, 1985, and 1986. In that 3-year span, the team amassed an overall record of 12-36 ........ the back-to-back playoff appearances in 1995 and 1996 that were led by Harbaugh included a trip to the AFC championship game in which the Colts came within a single play of heading to the Super Bowl against the Cowboys.

Regardless of whether or not there is a college football season in 2020, this is both alarming and interesting ...... 37 cases overall have hit the perennial powerhouse Clemson Tigers football team.

What did Kraft do that the federal government didn't do? Buy a bunch of fucked up masks. Do some fucking research C&O. Can't trust China to do anything worth a damn. They are the ones who started all this shit. Fuck them and the Patriots.
