OT: Official Bears/NFL Thread XXVIII: Are you ready for some football? Circle one - Y N

[Cullksinikers]

I have a tentative plan to do two days of an unspecified NFC North team's training camp soon myself.

Marshawn Lynch to hold out of Seattle Seahawks camp

**** YOU LYNCH!!

**** YOU LYNCH!!

Meh.

let me guess AD already drafted him in his Fantasy league?

I'd guess he's a keeper. Anyone drafting in July for their fantasy league needs to find a new league.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Another example of why I don't care about fantasy sports. A team that's hypothetically going to compete for an NFC Wild Card spot along with us having a roster holdout is a good thing for Bears fans.

Hold out forever, Lynch.

He explained it last year that part of the fun for him is drafting early and watching guys get hurt in camp, hold out, etc.



To me, that's just making a game about randomness even more random.

 

[Gootie]

This title is why I hate the NFL outside of draft day(s) and game day.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Draft day sucks too.

 

[Gootie]

Nope

<insert player name> is in the best shape of his career.

LOL, hope he doesn't have money involved.

I love how some of the guys still make some nice plays

very good memory IU...but that is not the case this go around.

I have him in 2 keeper leagues so that is why I am boycotting skittles right now!

fantasy football thread started, league activated

I feel like the only dude in the greater Naperville area that thinks fantasy sports lame.

Joe Thomas: Brian Hoyer is 'a lot like Tom Brady'

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap20...oe-thomas-brian-hoyer-is-a-lot-like-tom-brady

and people laughed when I said Hoyer reminded me of Nick Foles

 

[Cullksinikers]

If only Hoyer knew how to slide.

San Antonio Raiders, anyone?

http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/...Raiders-owner-in-talks-with-SA-to-5654812.php

Gotta keep the color scheme going. San Antonio Spurs. San Antonio Raiders. San Antonio Kings. San Antonio White Sox. San Antonio [other black and white team in a different sport here]

Probably just grandstanding, but San Antonio is definitely one of the oft-rumored NFL expansion/relocation candidates.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

There's no way they're going anywhere but LA if they leave.

And yeah, this is nothing more than an owner trying to get a cities attention, that city being Oakland.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

San Antonio did a good job when Saints played there and it is a fast growing market

Texas is football capital of US so a 3rd professional team does make sense. I cant see it being Raiders but Cali is worst state at building an arena in and the Chargers are also likely on move in coming years

LA stadium seems stalled and the Raiders are entering final season of lease in Oakland (And likely wont be staying beyond that)

San Antonio right now is really the only viable option to move to until LA gets a stadium in motion. Since that seems long way off the possibility of Raiders to San Antonia does seem possible

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Also should be remembered that Saints played some games at Alamodome after Katrina and team practiced in San Antonio

So city is capable very much of handling a pro team

+ Jerry Jones has stated in past he wouldn't object to an NFL team in SA

 

[Bubba88]

It'll be LA if they move more than SA

He's just trying to be the best teammate he can be: http://m.bleacherreport.com/article...campaign=programming-national2?is_shared=true

I find this absolutely hilarious.
