Rams trade the house to get Matthew Stafford. Weird trade. Feels like a lot for a middling qb.

That wasn't the cost of acquiring Stafford, that was the cost of getting rid of Goff and his contract.

That’s a huge amount to give up for a player that only has 4/5 years left considering his injury record. As a Pats fan I wanted Stafford but I’m happy we didn’t give up that much for him. If Stafford is 2 first rounders, what the hell will it take to get Watson?!?!

It’s the start of the QB carousel which is going to be huge this year.

Only ones that can afford him and want him are the jets. Even then it’s 3 firsts. Included no2 overall.

I'm interested in seeing if Justin Fields is a starter and how he gets on from seeing him develop on QB1BtL series 2. Jake Fromm was drafted last season iirc but isn't a starter.

I think this is potentially a good QB draft. Obviously Lawrence looks like a future star and Fields might be too. Then there's BYU's Zach Wilson, whom most are seeing as the number 2 pick in the draft. North Dakota State's Trey Lance has eyepopping stats (14 rushing td, 28 passing td, 0 interceptions and 67% accuracy) but he did it for a dominant team in Div1.

Finally, credit to Mac Jones, who simply ran Bama's offense to perfection. Admittedly, he seems less capable than those who went before but at the same time he got more out of that team than they got from theirs, not unlike a certain T Brady seems to, so he might transition.

What the **** is going thru your head to be around anybody Super Bowl week? I'd let my damn hair go natty. And how does this guy get around players without having a negative test?

So many sportspeople are dumb as ****. Honestly, if I was about to play the biggest game of my life i'd be taking every precaution. Morons.

Most of my excitement for tonights Superbowl has been taken away following the news of the death of Chris Wessling, and Around The NFL hero and part of the Sky Sports team following a second battle with cancer.

Despite never meeting the man, he kept me going for many years and I often thought he was on another level intellectually, never mind football related.

He will be missed. RIP Chris

.

I made my wife take a detour on our road trip honeymoon to huckapoos in Tyree island just to see the home place of the great man. Such a sad story.

I echo this. Have listened to the pod for the last 4 years religiously and feel like I have lost a friend despite never meeting the man.

Thoughts with his Wife and baby son Lincoln.

RIP the Mailman.

Completely agree. Love the around the nfl podcast and he was always fantastic on it.

Was so sad hearing him struggling to talk on his brief cameos at the end.

RIP Chris

Beautiful tribute to Wess on the pre game show on sky a short while ago. So much respect for Dan, Gregg and Marc for being on the show as well. I’m sure they sat down and talked about it and said it’s what Wess would have wanted.

Also lovely tributes from Rich Eisen and Colleen Wolff earlier.

so who do we think will win tonight?

The Portland Wankdonkies by 4 points.

Why do I switch on before the kick off?

BRING ON DAN MARINO

I’m only watching so I know when half time is so I can see all the new trailers.
