as if things couldn't get any worse for browns fans lately, art modell has advanced in the HOF selection process
Well if there’s a time to do it, the Browns being bogged down by Watson’s contract while revealing plans on building a new domed stadium might be the time. Just exercise all the bad vibes.

Rams taking trade calls on Cooper Kupp
Well, big picture, Kupp has been hurt in recent years. He has no more guaranteed money. Due $20 mill each for 2025 and 2026 in real money. He has option bonuses which become guaranteed in late March each year,. He is making $15 mill in base salary in 2024, so that is like $830K per game against the cap for 2024 if he is dealt.

Tua was really pushed by Miami personnel to wear a guardian cap

But he turned it down citing “personal decision”

This dude is so franking stupid
If I'm a team, I consider pushing my QBs to wear them. Partly to keep them healthy, but also having even a slightly larger helmet means slightly better chances of drawing 15 yard penalties from pass rushers who have their hands up.

Jayden Daniels now week-to-week. Being a Sharks fan and a commanders fun was fun for like 3 minutes.
From the press conference, to me it sounded like Quinn thought it was unlikely he'd miss more than one game, and probably not even one. Didn't strike me as an NHL week-to-week thing, where it could mean that he's out until March.

I'd probably push for it for D-linemen too. Awkwardly, the O-linemen would likely also benefit a lot from it because they have so many micro collisions during gameplay, but having 5 O-linemen have much larger heads would also have a clear negative for the QB's vision.

No word on LV getting anyone with experience with AOC's broken thumb or just going to promote QB3 off their PS?

I agree with flexing the Jags-Eagles but hate the Vikings -Colts in that spot. Why not the Packers-Lions ? That would've been awesome.
Is there a limit of how many games NFL can flex out of CBS/Fox each season? If it is 1 or 2 each, then maybe they are saving a FOX game for later or certain games are protected by the network.

Fox likely protected it
That makes complete sense. That will be a good one for ratings and just overall good football. I can see why .

Quick search has revealed that CBS/Fox can protect 1 game a week

Sorry i know that wasn't quite what you were asking. I'm down the rabbit of researching this ATM.
