Around The NFL - 2022

Good riddance!  Now our local political goons won't spend gazillons of our tax dollars trying to woo this joke back to Hawaii.

RIP.

Anyone tweet the suicide hotline to JJ? There's people who can help.

Steelers haven't scored a 1Q offensive TD since week 10 last season when they played the Lions.

Speaking of the Lions - Dan Campbell should probably be chewing the kneecaps off Aaron Glenn and his defense. The good news? They're averaging 35ppg on offense - the bad? They're allowing 35.3ppg.

Matt Ruhle gone

I bet on the Steelers yesterday

I was tempted but thankfully laid off. So many bets and money was on PIT and the line never budged so that was a red flag for me.

Matt Rhule has been fired by Carolina.

If I am their owner I would hire Demeco Ryans from SF.

Brett Favre says he has done nothing wrong and has been "smeared" in the media in response to his involvement in a sprawling welfare investigation in Mississippi, according to a statement given to Fox News Digital. "I have been unjustly smeared in the media," Favre said in the statement, which Fox News Digital published Tuesday. "I have done nothing wrong, and it is past time to set the record straight. No one ever told me, and I did not know, that funds designated for welfare recipients were going to the University or me. I tried to help my alma mater USM [University of Southern Mississippi], a public Mississippi state university, raise funds for a wellness center. My goal was and always will be to improve the athletic facilities at my university."

Straight from the MAGA playbook. Hey dickhead we saw the texts. Despicable like the rest of the gqp. I'm sure he'll be running for office soon.

One hopes this story is getting good coverage in Green Bay.  Let them read for themselves about their low life hero.

None of the Packer fans I know is under the illusion that Favre is a good person. Pretty sure that ship sailed long before this welfare thing.

Was Starr a decent guy?  Jury is still out on Rodgers I guess but I find the guy insufferable.

[QB Eagles]

Only bad thing I ever heard about Starr is that he sucked as a coach.

I'm not sure if I may have posted this before, but I met Bart Starr and he couldn't have been more of a class act. When I was just  lil'holic at the time, and the fam happened to be at Stanford for a week when Pops was attending a conference.

A dood told Pops we should go out to the practice fields that afternoon to check out their All American QB (Plunkett). But when we got to that area of the facility we first found another field where the (at that time) legendary GB Packers were practicing. Not sure if it was summer camp or getting ready for a week 1 game on the coast. Anyway, pops points out, Starr so I go up and ask for an autograph. He couldn't have been a nicer or more considerate guy. He asked, almost humbly, if I wouldn't mind holding his helmet for him so he could sign. I thought the pic was long lost, but was delighted to come across it just a couple of years ago, with me walking with along side him. Pops said I should have just run away with the helmet cause it would be worth more than a stinking autograph. I learned a real lesson that day and have been working on my 40 time ever since.

Compensation update: Panthers traded WR Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals in exchange for a 6th-round pick in 2024 and a 7th-round pick in 2025, per source.

Panthers don't like Owls
