Re: NFL Off Topic

Chiefs identified the fan who lasered Tom Brady during the AFC championship, he's banned for life and facing criminal charges.

The Kansas City police department initially wanted to cite the fan with disorderly conduct, but Chiefs officials didn't feel those charges were strong enough and instead have been pushing for "the harshest penalty possible," in the words of one source.

The Chiefs want this incident to deter fans from pointing a laser at players at future games, a violation that has more serious ramifications than many realize. Since last month's conference title game, members of the military have reached out to Brady to inform him that the lasers shined near his face could cause irreversible eye damage, according to another source.

Crazy, I thought that story was going to amount to nothing. Glad the perpetrator was caught.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Sounds like the 49ers are set to block the Raiders from using Oracle/ATT next season, perhaps in an effort to entice them to play at Levis for a year which they're reportedly open to.

That's one stadium I'll never go to again if I can help it. Not a great experience when I was there a couple years ago.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I watch highlight videos and I dont believe I've ever seen a better arm than Michael Vick in football. Nearly every guy has to do a huge crow hop or put a lot of shoulder in to it...but with Vick it is almost effortless in how he can heave a spiral bullet 70 yards downfield.

Look at this as an example...it just makes my jaw drop.

Re: NFL Off Topic

That is indeed quite impressive. I think Elway had the best arm out of any QB ever but Vick showed some prowess in that department too. If only he had better mastered the passing game earlier in his career.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I believe that’s the game that solidified the return of Mike Vick. Let’s not forget, Kevin Kolb was supposed to be the guy and got hurt in Week 1.

Vick always seemed to flick the ball, I think his delivery was just more effortless then most any QB I’ve seen. There’s only a few guys who can get away with such a unique motion (Rivers for another).

Good post Speedy. Always fun to bring up some recent history to get the football juices flowing.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Plus, that's when his best throwing days were well past him. This wasn't "Madden Coverboy Vick" of seven years prior to that. Still like what he was able to do during his Pennsylvania run though.

Obviously fake, but anyone remember this commercial?

This was what first got me to pay attention to his arm.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Not sure where to say this but if you checked out twitter (or just look for stories about him on google) DK Metcalf looks like he's taking workout tips from David Boston. The guy is looking SICK! (and not in the good way)

You can't tell me this kid isn't taking PEDs. Hopefully for whomever drafts this guy he will cut down on that stuff or that he doesn't technically get caught because let's face it, that body ain't natural.

Two years in a row? Why would they do that? I'm not sure that's ever been done.

If you look at it, the game is being played in Chicago instead of Detroit. That seems to be a one-off since it's the NFL's 100th anniversary.

The arm could be angle or photoshopped. The abs, veins, and neck make it obvious though. He may have put on too much mass now. Can he even still play WR? How fast can he run at that size?

Re: NFL Off Topic

Two things

Kliff just said that Josh Rosen is their guy, so looks like Arizona won't be taking Murray.

Here's a fun, sorta easy bit if trivia. Who are the only two Hall of Famers that played for both the Dolphins and Patriots?

I don't believe him. We've seen tons of examples of coaches, executives and even players saying one thing than doing another. The most recent example in the NFL I can think of is Garrett saying Linehan was staying as OC in Dallas than a couple days later he was fired.
