So I was just reading ESPN's profile on Harry Kane (striker for Tottenham Hotspur, captain of the England national team, one of the best strikers in the world), and came across this part: Harry Kane wants to conquer the Premier League ... then the NFL I know a bunch of people here hate soccer...

Haha I love it, **** Lane Johnson.

For anyone else who enjoyed Romo's commentary against the Saints as much as I did, this is pretty good news. IMO the most engaging guy in the booth since early John Madden.

Hey all, if you're looking to kill some time at the end of the work week, please head on over here and cast a vote against the Steelers. This vote is determined who is voted out of the pool, so we need the Steelers to have more votes than the Pats: Google Forms - create and analyze surveys, for...

Barnwell's Super Bowl LI preview: Why I'm predicting a rout I strongly encourage reading the whole thing--one of the few times that I'd argue ESPN has really earned its clicks--but for those who aren't inclined to, I'll skip to the end:

Nice Ringer article on Steve Belichick Steve Belichick Is Tired of Your Dad Jokes Nice, quick read - not super informative or anything, but an interesting, brief look at Steve Belichick as a coach.

Goes without saying that this is a pretty big break for us if true. That offense has looked pretty bad under Jones when he's been called upon.

Thoughts? He's been out of his element this year, miscast as a #1 CB. But as a slot corner he did really well for the Panthers last year. I think it's a red flag that a team as CB-needy as the Panthers cut him, but I think he could be useful here if we get a chance at him.

So I think a lot of us agreed going into the season that offensive line was the biggest long-term question mark on this team. Through three games, I think we've seen enough to at least form some kind of an impression, though obviously it'll remain a work in progress. For a quick overview, I...

I'm sure lots of posters here have been following the Chargers / Joey Bosa negotiation debacle, but for those who haven't here's a quick summary. Also, every source that I'm citing here was pulled from the nfl subreddit. Don't want to take credit for other people's work, but I did want to share...

NFL's Integrity* on display again: league hid $100M+ from players to keep salary cap down http://deadspin.com/report-arbitrator-rules-nfl-hid-as-much-as-120-millio-1760717473 That's what the arbitrator ruled, and the upside is that it looks like the salary cap is going to rise even further, by...

Yates: Dobson to IR No surprise there, bummer for him though.

Expected for some time, but it's now confirmed: Patriots Add Receiver Depth By Signing Chris Harper Off Practice Squad

Article here: Former NFL official rips Roger Goodell, instant replay Money quote here: I for one am shocked that Goodell would act arbitrarily in the name of prioritizing PR over 'getting it right'. And given how Green phrased his critique, I think there's a clear, implicit criticism of how...

(he clarifies a little later that his count was off by 1) Just some perspective to help explain exactly how much the point total is the result of the Pats allowing back door covers after the game's effectively won.

Announcement here: Details here: Pretty pumped about this. Based on his play so far, this is a bargain basement salary. He's making less than Woodhead and Vereen.
