[Fowler] Tua Tagovailoa is now at his home in South Florida, was in 'good spirits' upon landing with the team, per source. MRI to come, possibly second opinion. Initial tests showed no structural damage.

[Goldsmith] Tee Higgins: "We realized really early that they were doubling Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr and playing zero –– man to man –– with me with Xavien Howard, one of the best corners in the league. It was a big game for me, and I delivered."

[Josina Anderson] “I’m told #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa “traveled back with team in a neck brace. All (initial) scans were negative, nothing broken. Will have MRI when he gets back,” per a league source. I’m sure Tagovailoa was comforted by having family at the game & at the hospital.”

[Nowinski] Mike McDaniel said it’s good Tua “doesn’t have anything more serious than a #concussion.” I don’t think this guy gets it. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury & posturing suggests brain stem injury. It’s pretty high on the list of serious medical consequences of football.

Reminder: [Injury] Tag Policy for Highlights (or lowlights)
Hello all!
About one year ago, r/NFL modified our rules on tagging injuries based on the community's feedback.
The rule change boiled down to this: people wanted some kind of warning before seeing the brutality of the game and a tag that was separate from our typical [Highlights] flair.
The rule around the [Injury] tag reads as follows:
Highlights of injuries are permitted on r/NFL, but must include the [Injury] tag in the title in lieu of [Highlight].
The number one reason for video post removals so far going into this season has been not tagging injury videos with the [Injury] tag. So we wanted to put up a quick reminder post about that policy for those of you who somehow have videos made within seconds of an injury happening.
Feel free to weigh in with any questions or feedback below, and remember to snap the ball before getting a delay of game penalty on a potential game-winning 2-pt conversion. Cheers.
What's it going to take to get a college senior drafted first overall again?
Last one was Kenyon Martin 22 years ago. These days spending 4 years in college is more of a deterrent for your draft stock because the conventional wisdom is youth = upside. I think the highest a college senior has been drafted since 2000 was 6th (Damian Lillard, Brandon Roy, Buddy Hield). Say we wanted to see a 4 year player go 1st overall again, what would be needed for that to happen?
Jokic on European basketball vs. NBA: There's no 3-in-the-key, floor is smaller, the big man can be in the paint... Is it harder? Yeah, just because [in Europe], you need to have really quick thinking. In the NBA, if you go by the guy you can see the help coming. In Europe, the help is already there

The NBA missed a great opportunity to highlight the NBA’s 75th Anniversary during the NBA Finals, and I’m still not over it.
Two of the three teams that had “Classic Edition” uniforms to commemorate the NBA’s 75th season were playing in the NBA Finals (Celtics and Warriors).
It sure would have been a nice tip of the hat for the teams to have played one of the games during the series in their Classic Edition uniforms. They could have easily wore them in the same game, since the Celtic’s jerseys were fashioned in home whites while the Warrior’s were blue.
However, neither team used these jerseys at all during the series, and the NBA missed out on a great way to celebrate their milestone season.

[Nowak] Wil Lutz missed a 61-yard attempt as time expired in his first career game (vs Raiders) back in 2016. It hasn’t happened again. He’s made every single kick attempted in the final 2 minutes of games in the 6 seasons since. Clutch Lutz is real. #Saints

Thinking about someone like Tony Romo's career.

Ime Udoka has considered the possibility of resigning, sources told @SInow . Internally, coaches and staff members are bracing for the likelihood that Udoka will be suspended for one year for having a relationship with a female staffer.
Background:
Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka is likely facing a suspension for the entire 2022-2023 season for his role in a consensual relationship with a female staff member, sources tell ESPN. A formal announcement is expected as soon as today.
Richard Jefferson is implying that Ime's relationship with a Celtics Staff Member was non-consensual
Here's his first tweet
When you guys find out the truth 👀….
Then about 15 minutes later he tweeted
Ask yourself if it’s consensual then why the suspension and the length!!! 🤔
if it wasn’t consensual dude should instantly be banned from the NBA

[Kurt Helin] Suns actively working toward Jae Crowder trade
It’s no secret Jae Crowder wants a trade out of Phoenix. Beyond the rumors around the league all summer, there was him pinning an Instagram comment about the Heat trading to get Crowder back. The Suns are likely to give Cam Johnson a lot of Crowder’s minutes this season to get more shooting on the floor, and Phoenix is one of the teams in the mix for a Bojan Bogdanovic trade with Utah, according to multiple reports.
Expect Crowder to be on a new team by the time the season starts. It’s a case where both player and team are ready to move on from their relationship.
Boston and Miami are mentioned in the article as the most interested teams on the market for Crowder’s services.

Lebron James runs the length of the court in protest after an offensive foul call on Roy Hibbert and receives a technical.
In a random post I saw something about Roy Hibberts “verticality” rule and it automatically made me think of this gem from the 2013 playoffs. Game 6 against the Pacers in the ECF. They call Lebron for an offensive foul whilst Hibbert is standing in the restricted zone.
What do you guys think about the call?
Lebron seems like the only star whose "legacy" was able to survive the Warriors dominance from '15-'19.
Everybody else took a major hit it feels like. The teams and star players from that time just don't seem legendary with how people view them.
Nobody really holds the 3 series losses against Lebron, it's like he came out unscathed.

Only one player in NBA history has played against every team of a conference in the playoffs. That man is Derek Fisher. He also beat every single one.
Derek Fisher, iconic GSW point guard, has played against every western conference team in the playoffs, and beaten them. There are men and there are legends, but no other player in league history has even played against all the teams in a conference, let alone beat every single one,
*** SINCE the NBA has been a 30 team league ***.
And here's a bonus series of Fisher beating down the soon un-defunct Seattle Supersonics, to put him at 16 teams beat in the playoffs. Even if the NBA adds more teams soon, it's hard to envision anyone eclipsing this accomplishment for a very long time, as a player would have to have extreme longevity, success, and play on at least 2 different successful playoff teams, without changing conferences.

[Amin Elhassan on why his relationship with ESPN deteriorated] So we’re sitting there (on the Jump), and the first segment he is on, I’m sitting there and I see him on the screen, and I look at everybody and I’m like, “Y’all really wanna do this?”
Amin Elhassan: I was someone who was bold with his statements at my prior employer— at ESPN — and I got cracked down for it. Some might say my relationship deteriorated immensely with my employer because I was bold when everyone else said “Just go with it. I guess this is the new norm,” I said “No! This is unfair; what’s happening to these people. It’s happened to these people over there because you guys wanna hire this guy? That’s not right!” I said it and I’ll never forget this: I was on-air on July 1 when free agency started and I expressed explicitly to everyone making that show, “I don’t want to be on-screen with that guy. I get it. He’s the new toy. You wanna run him out there? Run him out there. Just leave me off of that segment.” They said “Okay. We got it. We got it.” So we’re sitting there, and the first segment he’s on, I’m sitting there and I see him on the screen, and I look at everybody and I’m like, “Y’all really wanna do this?” And they went through the whole —
David Sampson: Who are you talking about?
Amin Elhassan: I’m not gonna say it, because —

[Kurt Helin] There are a lot of owners in glass houses who don't want to start throwing stones.
Kurt Helin, NBA writer at NBC Sports, on why a harsher punishment wasn’t levied against Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver:
There are a lot of owners in glass houses who don't want to start throwing stones.
It seems like the scenario many NBA owners/executives would like to avoid is a potential lawsuit from Sarver where all parties would have to enter discovery, where all the league’s dirty laundry would be fair game.

Am I wrong to think that Westbrook will have a bounce back year?
Russ had a rough year, but I think he is really set up for a bounce back year. Other then the players, the Lakers higher ups have had some postive things to say about Russ. Do I think he will return to his All NBA Days? No, but I think he will prove that he is a Top 30 PG in the league.
Edit: didn’t think so many people would be interested in this post, so I didn’t really explain myself. I think that last year Russ on the lakers is very similar to when melo played for OKC. Melo really struggled and eventually got pushed out of the league, which forced him to transition into a role player. So maybe it will take Russ getting pushed out of the league for him to make some changes to his game, but I think Russ has such a deep love for basketball that will allow him to make some changes that will keep him in the league.

NFL Week 1 Predictions Thread (2022 Season)
Welcome all to another year of football, and another year of me making silly predictions on who will win each week with minimal logic and reason to go off of. I don't know why I continue this madness, partly because the pain feels good and partly because you guys actually respond to this post, so it's kind of your fault a little bit. This year we don't have any more weird things going on. Aside from the Commanders being a thing now, everything seems a little stable. We'll see how that plays out in the coming weeks. Week 1 is always the most annoying to predict because there's not much to go off of for each team. As such, this week I'm using a combination of multiple reports to go by since I don't know what's going on with many of the teams as far as how good they should be. Week 2 should look much more normal. We have six division games this week, so that'll be awesome. Anyways, welcome back folks! Let's get to it!
Those are my predictions, let's hear yours. Keep it civil and fun. Best of luck!
Luka Doncic vs France: 47 Points on 65/55/92 shooting splits, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal. Second most points in EuroBasket history.
Historical performance by Luka Legend as Slovenia wins 88-82. France played a good game but sometimes there's just nothing you can do to slow down the best players in the world. Dragic bros also had some clutch steals late into the game.
Edit: Luka passes Nikos Galis, who scored 46 points for Greece against Sweden back in 1983. Belgian player Eddy Terrace holds the record for most points with 63 against Albania in 1957.
[Rapoport] Sources: The #Jets are starting QB Joe Flacco on Sunday vs. the #Ravens, as Flacco is set to face his old team. Zach Wilson (knee) is progressing well, but not quite ready.

Official r/NFL Week 0 Power Rankings
Welcome to week 0 of the official r/NFL Power Rankings! In less than 72 hours, football will be back. No more masked singer hype. No more speculation on whether Aaron Donald will double fist helmets against the Bills on TNF. No more just wondering if rivalry openers such as Vikings/Packers, Steelers/Bengals, Saints/Falcons will live up to expectations. But until then? Yet another preseason discussion. 31/32 reporting
| # | Team | Record | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Bills | 11-6 | The Buffalo Bills are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl, and it is absolutely terrifying. On paper, this team is primed to do it all. Other than the continued absence of All-Pro Cornerback Tre'Davious White as he rehabs an ACL tear, and the varying degrees of question marks at running back, it's hard to point out too many holes on this Bills roster. Each year, teams surprise us in how they exceed or fall short of expectations. It's one thing to say the Bills are good enough, now they need to go out and get it done. With the Bills slated as the first game of the season against the defending champ Rams, the city of Buffalo and BillsMafia across the world hold their breath. | |
| 2. | Rams | 12-5 | The list of noteworthy departures (Woods, Hekker, Von Miller, Whitworth, OBJ, KOC & more) certainly seems to outweigh the noteworthy additions (Robinson, Wagner) but the Rams made the most of their offseason and there’s no reason to think they can’t contend for a second straight Super Bowl. The core remains intact with McVay at the helm plus the NFCW has one less chef in the kitchen. Anything but another deep playoff run would be a disappointment. | |
| 3. | Buccaneers | 13-4 | With just 17 years away from being able to collect Social Security, the Masked Singer (?) returns for his 23rd and likely final NFL season. The Bucs enter the season with unexpected shifts to their core offense, hampered by surprise retirements (Ali Marpet, Gronk) and injuries in camp (Jensen), but might find a small boost from free agents Julio Jones and Russell Gage. To start the season, the Bucs will face a strong Dallas team with a feisty young defense, but a coach on the hot seat in Mike McCarthy. QB Dak Prescott has had close to an 80% completion rate on the Bucs in recent matchups. It should make for a thrilling shootout. | |
| 4. | Chiefs | 12-5 | It is a year of transition for the Chiefs with Tyreek Hill being surprisingly shipped off to Miami over the offseason. The Chiefs went from the 23rd youngest team in the NFL in 2021 to being the 7th youngest team in the NFL heading into the 2022 season. The Chiefs are staring down a brutal schedule this year filled with tough divisional games along with many playoff teams from last year. Whether the Chiefs get through this tough looking schedule will depend on how they adjust to life without Tyreek Hill and how the team's nine rookies play. The Chiefs still have Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid so the ceiling for the team is high - but now the question becomes what the next era of Chiefs football with Mahomes looks like in a rough AFC. | |
| 5. | Bengals | 10-7 | The Bengals are coming off of their most successful season in over 30 years, but the majority of the football media have determined that last season's Super Bowl run was a fluke. The team again finds themselves labeled as underdogs. Will that disrespect motivate them enough to repeat as AFC champs? | |
| 6. | Packers | 13-4 | After a disappointing Divisional round defeat, the Packers reloaded for another Super Bowl run with Aaron Rodgers at the helm, now on his 15th year as the Packers starting QB. The big loss of the offseason was the Davante Adams trade to Las Vegas, but the Packers will be getting back 2020 All-Pros Jaire Alexander and David Bakhtiari after both missed most of the season due to injury. Instead of paying Adams, the Packers spent their money retaining key defensive players in Rasul Douglas, De'Vondre Campbell, and Preston Smith, while adding two first round rookies to Joe Barry's unit. Adding Sammy Watkins, 33rd overall pick Christian Watson, and 4th round camp stud Romeo Doubs might not fully replace the receiving void that Tae left, so look for running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon to be key contributors in the passing game. Despite the Adams trade the Packers still look to be a formidable team with serious Super Bowl aspirations | |
| 7. | Chargers | 9-8 | It's "put up or shut up" season for the Chargers. Having a top 5 QB on a rookie deal has allowed them to put together their best roster since the mid-2000's. While the division is loaded, the other teams are also undergoing various levels of retooling. This will be their best opportunity for a while. Carpe diem. | |
| 8. | 49ers | 10-7 | The 49ers come into the 2022 season with one of the most talented rosters in the league. The intrigue of the season revolves around second year starting QB Trey Lance. While Shanahan is known for tailoring and offense around the QB’s strengths, the margin for error becomes paper-thin on a team whose goal is nothing short of a Super Bowl Run. | |
| 9. | Ravens | 8-9 | Everyone knows what happened last year, but now that we've made a virgin sacrifice to the injury gods, so we are praying that everyone returns safe and healthy. Of course, having Ronnie Stanley/JK Dobbins/Gus Edwards basically unable to play Week 1 puts a hamper on a lot of things, but the revitalized secondary mixed with the emergence of Bateman and preseason favorite Isaiah Likely gives us Ravens fans a lot to look forward to this year. Here's hoping a healthy Lamar can have his best year yet. | |
| 10. | Colts | 9-8 | There’s a lot to unpack with the Colts this season. After Wentz was shipped out to Maryland, the team acquired Matt Ryan to replace him. He’s now the team’s 5th different starting QB in five years. In addition, the team added veterans Yannick Ngakoue and Stephon Gilmore, which should be a pleasurable boost to Gus Bradley’s new defense. Fans are also eager to see if second-year players Kwity Paye, Dayo Odeyingbo, Michael Stratchan, and Kylen Granson will make the big-leap forward. Uncertainty is the word of the day. But at the very least, Matt Ryan should be much more consistent than Wentz, and hopefully his skills elevate the team’s young WR corps and utilize Jonathan Taylor much more effectively. Will the Colts win the Super Bowl? Maybe. If they do, I’ll order a pizza; and they don’t, I’ll eat out. Also, fuck Deshaun Watson. | |
| 11. | Eagles | 9-8 | Quiet (and not-so-quiet) optimism surrounds the Eagles after a series of promising off-season moves, both in signing talented players and yeeting underperforming 21st overall picks. The season ultimately hinges on a single player - Jalen Hurts - and whether he can improve from last season and cement his permanent role as perennial starter for the franchise. | |
| 12. | Broncos | 7-10 | Siemian, Lynch, Osweiler, Keenum, Flacco, Allen, Lock, Driskel, Rypien, Hinton, Bridgewater — and Russell Wilson. The $246 million dollar man. The boon. The promised land found after wandering in the wilderness. The light, the chosen one. No superlative is strong enough to express the feeling. No more forced QB competitions, no more talking up guys. A high-level quarterback who is an even better person. The Broncos got their QB, and they didn't sell their souls to do it. #LetsRide | |
| 13. | Raiders | 10-7 | After a season filled with seemingly endless incidents, the Raiders are coming off a playoff appearance for only the 3rd time in the last 20 years. Now, Derek Carr, entering his 9th season in the NFL, and with his 6th head coach in that time, looks to lead the team back to the playoffs with his best friend and new weapon Davante Adams. The Raiders are looking to start the regular season the same way they ended it last year, with a win over the Chargers. | |
| 14. | Titans | 12-5 | The Titans go into the 2022 season a much different team than the #1 seed that was one and out in the playoffs. The roster has changed in ways to get younger and try to prolong the 6 year streak of above .500 records. The biggest move of the offseason was the AJ Brown trade with the bet being that the large AJ Brown contract would be too much in comparison to taking a shot on a first round WR (Treylon Burks). Derrick Henry returns at full strength, the secondary has become deep with talent and Jeffery Simmons anchors a line that should make an impact even with the loss of Harold Landry. The Titans may not be on the top level of a stacked AFC but Vrabel has proven that his coaching and approach can make the Titans out perform their collected talent. | |
| 15. | Cowboys | 12-5 | Not gonna lie: the first month is gonna be rough. The Cowboys are entering the season with some injury issues, and they face 3 of the last 4 Super Bowl teams in the first 5 weeks. However, a weak division and a softer second half schedule leaves this team with a pretty decent path to the playoffs. | |
| 16. | Cardinals | 11-6 | Is it already that time of the year again? Time to be full of hope, joy, and elation as our very own Arizona Football Cardinals take the field and provide electric offense alongside passable at times defense? Oh golly-wait, what is that in the distance?! Don't tell me it's… week 10 and onwards collapse!! Not again!! | |
| 17. | Dolphins | 9-8 | We enter the 2022 season continuing our dynasty of offseason championships notching our 4th championship over the past 9 years. We're really hoping these offseason championships can finally translate to regular season success, more specifically, playoff success. Our offseason "success" seems to be inversely correlated to our playoff success considering we now own the second longest playoff win drought in the NFL (21 years.) We arguably have the most talented roster we've ever had since our last playoff win so let's hope we finally break the drought. For the first time in forever, we were unanimously picked by NFL Network to beat the Pats week 1. So naturally we're going to get blown out 38-10 and five of our players will suffer season ending injuries. | |
| 18. | Saints | 9-8 | New year, who dis? The Saints start 2022 with a new head coach for the first time in the power rankers era. Eschewing any inclination to chase a QB, they've stuck with Jameis in the hopes he bounces back from his injury last year - possibly a decent gamble given how he was looking before he went down. | |
| 19. | Patriots | 10-7 | Mac Jones has two favorite poems: “Man in the Arena” by Teddy Roosevelt, and “If” by Rudyard Kipling. The first is about how talk is cheap, and the person who matters is the one risking defeat to taste victory. The second is about the power of maintaining integrity and focus on what is most important. There’s a lot of doom and gloom on talk radio around New England lately, and the buzzards are circling to feast on the corpse of the dynasty. You know who seems to still be smiling and enjoying life, though? Bill Fucking Belichick. There are plenty of reasons to lower expectations, but the games don’t happen on paper. Talk is cheap. The players on the field will determine the outcomes. Bill is staying true to who he is, and has his team focused on what they can control. Strap in. | |
| 20. | Vikings | 8-9 | Kirk Cousins's career win-loss record is 59-59-2, so naturally when the Vikings' new management came in they... extended Kirk so they could run it back with this 8-9 squad? OK, so maybe the Vikings aren't clear contenders, but there's a vision here: Kevin O'Connell hopes to unlock Kirk the same way McVay once did in Washington, Justin Jefferson will feast on schemed-up matchups like Cooper Kupp and the offensive line might not even suck with Christian Darrisaw drawing comparison to Trent Williams and rookie Ed Ingram having a standout preseason. The defense has talent, but that talent is either past its prime (Patrick Peterson, Harrison Smith, even Eric Kendricks) or comes with big injury concerns (Danielle Hunter & Za'Darius Smith). So there's a good reason Vegas right now projects this as another .500 squad, but there are also reasons to believe this team can beat those odds. | |
| 21. | Steelers | 9-7-1 | For the first time in many years, the Steelers are a true question mark entering the season. In the past, even when pessimism lingered in the background of an optimistic foreground, there was a solid idea of what the Steelers could potentially achieve. Although Pittsburgh had a solid preseason from a W/L perspective, many questions still remain. The team has to solidify in several key areas, such as QB and OL. Pessimism gives way to realism, which is that this team is starting over without Big Ben, Trubisky has to make the job his own. The fact that Mason Rudolph is still a backup for the Steelers and not on a different team says something about the confidence in either the position, the OL's ability to keep it healthy, or both. | |
| 22. | Browns | 8-9 | It was a mess of an off season. Never before have the Browns experienced a QB controversy like this. With the signing of Watson the Browns went from loveable underdogs to possibly the most hated team in the entire league. Pre-season performance aside everyone is watching the Browns to see if they can pull out of this nose dive and regain their soul. The Browns will face Baker in Carolina week one. | |
| 23. | Panthers | 5-12 | For Matt Rhule, this is it. Under Rhule, the Panthers have finished with 5 wins each of the past two seasons, and in fact, ended last season with a worse winning percentage than in 2020. CMC hasn't been healthy for the majority of either of those seasons, but that doesn't stop Panthers fans from believing in the team motto. Keep Pounding. Whenever this season gets started, it's going to be with that motto in our minds. After Sam Mills' introduction into the Hall of Fame this year, the motto rings even more true as we try to find out footing as a team. Turnover at the QB position is the obvious sign to point to, but there's so much more than has changed under the hood than just Baker. Schematically, we've moved away from Joe Brady to a Ben McAdoo-led offense, brought Steve Wilks back, and tried to bolster the LB corps. To that end, this team looks, and feels, different than the previous two seasons. Starting with Baker, the team obviously is showing more swagger and attitude than there has been previously. On the field, it remains to be seen if that translates to wins, or if it just translates to more of what Panthers fans expect out of Matt Rhule: bluster. No matter what, this is a season of change for the Panthers and it's going to be interesting to see how it unfolds. | |
| 24. | Commanders | 7-10 | The Washington Red-- sorry, Football Te-- apologies once more, I mean of course, The Washington Commanders are set to make their debut. New name, new uniforms and a new QB in Carson Wentz who joke all you want, is actually still an upgrade at the position. Ron Rivera has a lot of pressure in year 3 of his rebuild to produce a winning record and while the offense will be seemingly improved, the defense under Jack Del Rio has been woeful at best and with no notable additions talent-wise it's hard to see how they take a step forward. The best thing going for this team is perhaps an easier schedule than the murderers row of QB's they faced in 2021. While everyone enjoys piling on and optimism is in Washington is in short supply, it's important to remember that this team remained in contention most of the season with a backup QB last year so who knows. | |
| 25. | Lions | 3-13-1 | The Lions come into this season off a 3-13-1 campaign that left more questions than answers. Dan Campbell's first year as |
|
| 26. | Jets | 4-13 | This is a huge year for the Joe Douglas front office. The Jets added a ton of talent this offseason, and Douglas's moves have been widely praised by the football cognoscenti. But in this league the fate of a franchise rests of the shoulders of QB1, and Zach Wilson has a ton to prove after a rookie years with more downs than ups. If Wilson takes a meaningful step forward, the Jets should be in a position to contend sooner rather than later. If he has another year like 2021, the Jets may be in the market for a new QB (along with a new GM and Head Coach). | |
| 27. | Jaguars | 3-14 | Capping off a less than electric camp, the Jags and fans alike look towards the 2022 season with renewed hope and equally high expectations compared to where they were a year ago. While the name on the building remains the same, the faces around the office are decidedly different than the season prior. Doug Pederson looks to replicate the success he had in Philadelphia, this time instead leading a crew of cats (rather than birds) to the promised land. Pederson's plans are tied directly to the anticipated growth of Jacksonville's 2021 1st overall pick, Trevor Lawrence. All eyes are firmly fixed on the sophomore QB as expectations catch up to the hype surrounding him. With a spread of only +3, the Duval squad looks to start the season strong, by heading to Washington and defeating the freshly christened Commanders. | |
| 28. | Seahawks | 7-10 | Did anything crazy happen this offseason? I legitimately do not remember. Ooohhhhhhhh yeah! DK re-signed!! That's all that matters 😍. Week 1 is our Super Bowl on this season-long quest for #1 overall. Can Geno and Drew successfully tank command the Seahawks? We shall see. | |
| 29. | Giants | 4-13 | 2021 was... not kind to the Giants. They lost a number of starters to injury, Kenny Golladay pulled the emergency brake on his hype train in record time, and the team was being run by one of the most incompetent HC/GM duos the league had ever seen. 2022 is about righting the wrongs that have left this franchise in the sorry state it currently finds itself. For the first time in a long time, fans can have some actual hope, because a GM and HC who were hired on pedigree and not narcissism have started to commit to the rebuild this roster has so desperately needed for the last half a decade. There have been some painful moves, like the release of fan favorites James Bradberry and Blake Martinez, but the team also made some exciting additions through the draft. In what truly is Daniel Jones' make or break year, the front office has done everything within their limited resources to surround him with the best talent they can. Now it's time to see how it all translates on the field. | |
| 30. | Bears | 6-11 | Things can change quickly in the NFL, and in just a few months Ryan Poles' has turned over two-thirds of the Bears' roster. The Bears' near and medium-term future still revolve entirely around Justin Fields. If Fields can take a step forward in his sophomore year, the Bears could make some noise in a fairly weak division. | |
| 31. | Texans | 4-13 | This time last year I compared the Texans to East Germany in 1949; rebuilding but towards a future where there was no certainty that things would get better. This year the coming season feels far less bleak. The o-line is better, we have exciting young talent, and our QB isn't a rapist. Hope is in the air, and Kool-Aid is being served double-cupped on Kirby. | |
| 32. | Falcons | 7-10 | Week one. Saints vs Falcons, Winston vs Mariota. A rivalry opener in the real Mercedes Benz Stadium could set the tone for the season. Mariota might not have the arm his supporters hope for, and (if) Ridder plays there will be times he looks like a third-round rookie. Regardless, it's clear Dean Pees and Arthur Smith have a vision for this team, and through the draft and bargain-bin free agency shopping, Terry Fontenot is seeing that vision through. On the field, The Falcons will hopefully prove to be well coached, no matter how talent or untalented they look on paper. A relatively tough schedule might be the nail in the coffin of the Falcons 2022 season, nipping positivity in the bud. With 130 million in 2023 cap space, baby steps are fine heading in the right direction. |
[Fedor] Cleveland open to welcome reunion with LeBron James, but on their ‘own’ and ‘right’ terms
I think they’d be open to it on their own terms, under the right terms. Terms that are very different from the ones he came back to in 2014. When you acquire LeBron, there are a lot of things that go with that. He wants power. He wants to help make decisions over the roster and people that are hired within the organization. He wants to be at the center of everything and have a team built around his strengths and things along those lines.
The Cavaliers would not sign up for that kind of situation. They feel good about what they have here, especially with the addition of Donovan Mitchell. Back in 2014, they needed a savior and needed LeBron to come back and take them to a different level.

[Rapoport] Mitch Trubisky, who has been taking first-team QB reps but hasn't officially been announced as the starter, is a captain.

If Yugoslavia didn't break up in 1991, here would be their current national team
Starters:
- PG - Luka Doncic (Slovenia)
- SG - Bogdan Bogdanovic (Serbia)
- SF - Bojan Bogdanovic (Croatia)
- PF - Nikola Vučević (Montenegro)
- C - Nikola Jokic (Serbia)
Bench:
- PG - Goran Dragic (Slovenia)
- SG - Mario Hezonja (Croatia)
- SF - Cedi Osman (Macedonia)
- PF - Nemanja Bjelica (Serbia)
- PF - Dario Saric (Croatia)
- PF - Dragan Bender (Croatia)
- PF - Nikola Mirotić (Montenegro)
- C - Boban Marjanović (Serbia)
- C - Jusuf Nurkic (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
- C - Ivica Zubac (Croatia)
Yugoslavia was an eastern bloc country made up of the following republics: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia (including the regions of Kosovo and Vojvodina) and Slovenia.
Those countries have a population of about 23 million people, making it smaller than Texas (28 million).
Pound for pound I don't think there's any region that produces more high level NBA players. This national team would be nasty. A bit thin on the wing, but when you have Doncic at PG and Jokic at C you've got plenty of size. And their backline is unmatched by any other national team.
[Josina Anderson] Countdown to the Lamar Jackson contract decision. Will any more guaranteed money get added to the deal? S. Bisciotti would never green light a Deshaun Watson-style fully guaranteed deal at all. Jackson has a strong argument for more. My understanding is an improved offer is out.

[Rapoport] The #Saints received unexpectedly good news following the foot surgery for first-round OT Trevor Penning: Rather than miss all of 2022, Penning has a chance to be ready by early Nov., sources say. At the least, he'll be able to practice, at the most could be key down the stretch.

[Post Game Thread] FIBA EuroBasket: Bosnia and Herzegovina (2-1) defeats Slovenia (2-1) 97-93 led by combined 45 points from Dzanan Musa and John Roberson
Poor 3pt shooting performance from Doncic as he finished 0/8 from the 3pt line. Vlatko Cančar and Goran Dragić finished the game with 22 points and 20 points respectively.
[Dov Kleiman] If #49ers Kyle Shananhan had it his way, he wouldn't be coaching Trey Lance right now. Tom Brady, Mac Jones were Kyle's first choices but others on the 49ers talked him out of what he wanted, both times.
https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1566450823382634496
Someone makes you this offer: Shoot 25 3’s like in the 3pt contest. If you make 5 or more, you get $1 million. If you make only 4 or less, you immediately get shot in the head. Do you take the offer?
Let’s say they are NBA distance 3’s.
No money balls either. Everything counts as just 1.
No time limit though.
Do you take the offer?
Today is the last Sunday without NFL football until February! With the season so incredibly close, what are your bold predictions for this season?
Everybody loves bold prediction threads, right?
Right???
Call your shot, whether it be for your team, the NFL as a whole, or both. The bolder the better! I'll start:
For the Lions: 1. Jeff Okudah breaks out as a top-15 CB. 2. Jameson Williams has 100+ yards and a TD in his debut 3. Lions go 9-8 and get the 7th seed.
For the NFL: 1. Chiefs miss the playoffs 2. CMC stays healthy and wins OPOY 3. Jerry Jeudy leads the league in receiving yards
Franz Wagner in a double overtime thriller against Lithuania: 32/8/2/1/2 blocks
Great game for Wagner in what was the best game of the tournament so far. He shot 12/20, 4/7 from 3 and 4/4 from FT.

Analyzing 12 Years of the NFL Top 100 to Quantify the NFL's Most Respected Players since 2011.
Weighted Results
I'm trying something new by showing the results and graphs first, then explaining the methodologies.
Unweighted Results
Unweighted results account for all lower rankings as well.
Methodologies
- I finished charting players and their ranks using this post by u/gds519 as an amazingly helpful starting point.
- The final scores were derived from the average Z-scores across the categories covered further below.
The spreadsheet used for tracking and scoring.
Categories Explained
Points
I continued the u/gds519 system by awarding the rank #1 player 100 points, #2 99 points, #3 98 points... and so on, while not ranking awarded no points, then summing the totals across the lists. I converted the point totals to Z-scores to better relate them to the group mean and standard deviation when implementing them into the final results.
Peak
This covers each player's highest achieved ranking. I used a similar method to invert each player's peak ranking, then found the Z-scores for the players' peaks relative to the group average.
Average (Bonus)
For the few players that effectively never dipped out of The Top 100 while eligible (and appeared 3+ years), I found their average ranking. I then found related Z-scores and added a constant so that it would still be a bonus for the lower part of this special group (and not a malus).
T1, T2, T3, T5...
"Times Top 1", "Times Top 2", "Times Top 3", "Times Top 5" and so on in the shown increments. I then found the Z-score to see how impressive the count was relative to the group mean.
Weighted vs Unweighted

The "weighted" version excluded the T50, T60, T70, T80, T90, and T100 categories from the final scoring. Players only received credit for T40 ranks and higher. Since ballots only include 20 slots, this seemed like an interesting way to massage away all outlier votes.
Unweighted
The unweighted version averages the Z-scores from all categories. There were more similarities than differences between the versions, but the differences were nevertheless interesting.
Top Performers
Points
The Top 20 in accumulated points from 2011 to 2022.

Years #1
Nine players have been ranked #1.
Years Top 2
Fourteen players have been ranked in the Top 2.
Years Top 3
Seventeen players have been ranked in the Top 3.
Years Top 5
Twelve players have been ranked Top 5 multiple times.
Years Top 10
24 players have been ranked Top 10 multiple times.
Years Top 20
31 players have been ranked Top 20 for 3+ years.
Years Top 30
24 players have been ranked in the Top 30 for 5+ years.
Years Top 40
28 players have been ranked in the Top 40 for 5+ years.

According to Spotrac and NFL.com he’s made $12,352,902 with 61 receptions in his career. That has to be the least efficient WR career ever right? Can you guys think of anyone else?

[GoLong] Terrence Newman on Mike Zimmer's last seasons in MN says players “dreaded going to work” because all fun was drained out of the organization. “It became toxic,”. A former coordinator predicts immediate success this season because “the devil’s gone. Satan is out of the building"

[Marc Berman] The Knicks will be on the lookout for the next disgruntled player who goes on the trading block with Oklahoma City point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander previously mentioned
The Knicks will be on the lookout for the next disgruntled player who goes on the trading block with Oklahoma City point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander previously mentioned. Ironically, the Knicks passed on him in the 2108 draft, much like they whiffed on Mitchell in 2017. Gilgeous-Alexander could be a better fit with Brunson than Mitchell. - NY Post Marc Berman
[Lions] Brad Holmes: "This fan base is so passionate. They deserve to have hope and belief, but we have to hold up our end of the bargain. So we can have all this buzz and hype and all that, but if we don't go out there and equate it to wins then it doesn't really matter"

[Reinhard] The #Browns still have not waived a member of their 2020, 2021, or 2022 draft classes. This makes them the only team (since at least 2014) to get though final cuts without having waived a player from their last three draft classes.

Cringiest nba moments?
What moments in nba history have made you cringe the most.
My two nominations
James Dolan singing on some morning show JD and the straight shot
And, Dwight Howard interrupting Stan Van’s interview in the most awkward way possible are you guys done with, uh, me?
Edit: how could I forget Steve Kerr naming his son Nick! Not Nicholas, just Nick. Funny yes but I bet that kid hated first day of class introductions.
Adding this comment on the hidden talents thread. It’s the word thing I’ve ever seen and I was in Rwanda in 1994.
You know I had to do it one time
[Schwartz] The #Bills & Buffalo media haven’t arrived yet in LA, but the beer has… More than $24,000 worth of @LabattUSA delivered Tuesday for #BillsMafia

WELCOME TO THE 2022 R/NFL ROAST OF THE CLEVELAND BROWNS
Here it is folks. The Big One. The Showstopper.
Just a reminder to please keep it civil and not get toxic to the point the mods have to lock the thread. Anyway,thanks to all that participated in this year's series.
Guidelines:
-
Try to make original jokes. We've all seen the played out jokes and memes (examples:28-3,throwing on the one yard line,big ben rapist,one yard short), let's get some new material in here. Find a new slant.
-
Don't waste your good jokes about another team until it's their turn to be roasted.
-
Jokes are jokes. Laugh, head over to the burn center, and move on. Let's not get into heated arguements in these threads, they are just for fun.
-
Don't troll and/or attack the users posting jokes.
-
Teams were chosen in a random order. You'll find out the next team to be roasted in the current thread. This will give you a day to craft your jokes.
-
HAVE FUN! When all 32 teams have been roasted, we'll be just a few days away from regular season football. That being said,fire away!
Tomorrow's roast:
