We can only wish and hope

We have some good players, just no goats.

We have an overpaid safety and a TE who is already the highest paid at this position at maybe the most efficient cost in the game.

Smith was a dominant pass rusher early in his career.

Aldon Smith, a first-round pick who was a dominant pass rusher early in his career, has died. He was 36.

“We are devastated by the sudden and tragic passing of Aldon Smith,” the 49ers said in a statement. “Aldon’s undeniable talent and sheer dominance on the field were on display from the moment he joined our organization, having recorded one of the best rookie seasons the National Football League has seen. Beyond his excellence as a player, Aldon will be remembered for his infectious smile that lit up every room he walked into. Our entire organization sends its deepest condolences to the Smith family and all who knew and loved Aldon.”

The seventh overall selection in 2011, Smith had 33.5 sacks in his first 32 regular-season games. He finished second for the defensive rookie of the year award in 2011, and he was a first-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler in 2012. He started Super Bowl XLVII with the 49ers.

UFL's Mike Repole mentions NFL is "talking about two more expansion teams"

When UFL co-owner Mike Repole speaks, he often generates something newsworthy as to the spring pro football league.

www.nbcsports.com

As far as anyone knows on the outside, the NFL isn’t talking about adding teams. Given that Repole may be in position to pick up some inside information (he and Tom Brady are partners in NoBull, for example), it’s possible that Repole has heard something that wasn’t yet intended for public consumption.

Regardless, the NFL’s quest for more inventory eventually will pivot from adding more weeks to the season to adding more teams to the league. Either Repole, who delivered the information as if it were factual, is woefully misinformed or he inadvertently let the cat out of the bag.

Louisville Kings cap first UFL season with championship

In his first year of coaching at any level, former NFL QB Chris Redman delivers a title.

www.nbcsports.com

The first-year UFL franchise has capped the season with a win in the United Bowl. The 27-20 victory came against the D.C. Defenders at their home field in Washington.

Louisville trailed 16-7 at the half, before scoring 20 unanswered points. A 60-yard, four-point field goal from D.C. kicker Matt McCrane cut the margin to seven, and the Defenders failed to convert on fourth and five from the Louisville six with less than two minutes to play.

That is great.

I’m not sure I would back up the brinks truck for Maye.

I so hope they do. Dude was horrendous in the playoffs last year.

His team won inspite of him numerous times.

 

[602 Native]

That is great.

Gross

The difference between top teams and bottom dwellers like us has never been worse.

Look at the NBA and baseball. Having horrible teams benefits no one. Not enough talent for expansion and then add in we are headed for 18-20 game seasons.

Well he did okay against a cupcake schedule. That is not going to the case this year. Let’s see how he does this year.

He was a couple votes away from being MVP in his second season but go off fellas good points all around

Yep and I don't think we will see him in a Super Bowl ever again.
It has happened to much better QBs than him.

Marino
Burrow
Cam
Ryan
Goff

I think he is closer to Grossman and Hasselbeck.

A year where all the top dogs were down.

Good for him.

Lots of bad QBs end up runners up in MVP balloting. Happens all the time.

This is a guy who deserves a LONG suspension.
