Raiders?  Cow bois?  Rams?  Ok, Seattle it is.

If Raiders stayed in Oakland I'd say no way. But they have been changing places like a two dollar whore

Seattle's stadium is better than the team

Cowboys are never fully healthy enough for me to have an opinion

DO NOT TOUCH MY RAMS. Although Ciardelo did make an intriguing offer

Send Raiders back to Oakland and kill ... Seahawks or Cowboys. Or both

Well enjoy Stafford @TigerLily   Hope it works out for you. He's good and should be motivated with a fighting chance at success. You'll enjoy Mrs. Stafford out there.    Kind of sucks there is so much money tied up in Goff - will be hard to flip him. I guess he'll have to stick around for at least a year. Hope he can adjust - swimming pools, movie stars and nothing but on field success to a post industrial, dystopian nightmare of despair and losing.

Well. That was stupid. I hate it already. Poor Jared. Yeah. I think Stafford will be motivated but will it matter?

Just looked up Kelly Hall. She's going to looove LA (sarcasm). And I'm sure LA will love her right back (again with the sarcasm)

"will it matter?"

Probably not. Rams still may not get their Super Bowl win and the Lions? They'll just draft a ham fisted tight end, or a tackle that can't pass block or a wide receiver that O.D.'s.  Groovy.

''The Rams, after trading for Stafford, will go seven consecutive seasons without making a first-round pick. They traded their 2016 and 2017 firsts to move up for Goff in the 2016 draft. They traded their 2018 first for wide receiver Brandin Cooks, their 2019 first-rounder to the Falcons for second and third-round picks, and their 2020 and 2021 first-rounders to the Jaguars for Jalen Ramsey...''

And the 2022 and 2023 first round picks to get out of Goff's contract and get Stafford.

At least the streak will only go on 3 more years.  Unless they make another trade.

They read the mans book I guess...

George Allen coaching the Rams and Redskins.  I remember him, being slammed for trading his future picks away year after year, although it was a bit before I started watching football.  Even so, I think it worked out, his teams were pretty good all those years (his NFL coaching record 116-47-5, but just 2-7 in the playoffs). 

Jared Goff.  Cal is the local team, and I remember being surprised he was drafted, let alone the #1 overall pick.  Goff was a product of the Sonny Dykes Air Raid offense system (no huddle, shotgun, 4 WR, spread).  Any adequate QB is going to rack up completions and yards.  I don't think there's anything special about Jared Goff.

I haven't fully processed this trade yet but my initial feeling is this is a big win for Detroit.  The only negative I see is taking on Goff's guaranteed money.  Other than that, if Detroit can draft well and add some more pieces to the roster I think Goff can flourish.  "IF" they draft well.  That rarely happens though.

If Stafford stays healthy he'll be a great addition to the Rams and will immediately uplift the spirits of that receiving core.  Actually the whole offense in general.  I imagine there is excitement there in getting the veteran QB.

... I think Goff can flourish...

If they implement his college system for him.  And until the league catches up with it.  Like Tebow and Kapernick.  Although he can certainly run a pro-set better than they could.

This Super Bowl may have the lowest ratings of all time - just like the rest of the games this season.  I won't be watching, but I hope Tom Brady kicks ass and wins another one.

I'd like to see Tom win another one as well.  KC played like supermen last game though and they might run away with it.  I foresee an injured quarterback but am not sure which one.

This will be Super Bowl 55.

Doing a little math, after today Brady will have played in 18% of them.  He will have played in 23% of the SBs since he was born, and 48% of the SBs that have been played since he was drafted and came into the league.

The good news SUPER BOWL TOMORROW! The bad news NO MORE FOOTBALL UNTIL SEPTEMBER

The young superstar vs. The old (?) GOAT that seems to be able to make any team Superbowl worthy

I guess I will root for an awesome game with amazing gunslinging

[PB]

I wonder how many TVs will be turned off as soon as these insufferable illiterate entitled clods insult the flag and the country during pregame?  Or are they still doing that, I don't even know. 

How many TVs won't even be turned on in the first place?
