Mesut how come you support Pats you bandwagon mofo?

I support Seahawks because my Grandfather and my two aunts live in Seattle and Vancouver, basically all the family I have in the US all live in and around Seattle so sort of picks itself.

Also Va-va-voom, Brandon etc who do you support?

Hopped on the Cowboys' bandwagon for the playoffs, but my actual team is the New Orleans Saints. Never really had a team until Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, and I felt bad for the city, so I started liking the Saints for some reason. Their rebirth in 2006 was amazing, and that 2009 Super Bowl season was magical. Still devastated about 2011 because that was hands down the most talented Saints team ever, and they should've won their second Super Bowl then, but Gregg Williams went full r***rd against the 49ers in the divisional playoffs.

I hope Brees gets a defense to win another ring before he retires. One of the most underrated QBs ever, especially for a future first ballot HOF'er. If he plays another 3-4 years, he'll have most of the volume QB records, surpassing Manning and Favre.

You Live in America right? don't you have a local team, or as your sig points to LA I take it you didn't?

Don't LA people usually support the Oakland Raiders or now the Rams?

[LMAO]

Yup, American bred, born, and raised. If anything, I should be a Redskins fan since I grew up close to DC in Northern Virginia, but I could never pull myself to root for them. Until Katrina, I never really felt a pull for any team, so I just watched the NFL without a favorite team.

Even though the Rams (and now the Chargers too) are back in LA, the Raiders are still the most popular NFL team. I don't see that changing, especially if the Raiders move to Las Vegas (or even San Diego, weirdly enough), which is a fun weekend trip from LA. LA has a lot of transplants anyway; you can find pockets of fans for every team here.

John Ross is fast af. Broke Chris Johnson's 40-yard dash NFL Combine record (4.24 seconds) with a time of 4.22 seconds.

40 times are useless anyway

sheeeeeeeeeeeet, didn't expect that

It's asinine to completely dismiss them. If I were a GM, there's no way in hell I'd draft a safety who ran a 4.75 40 because he's not chasing a RB/WR down in the open-field unless he has an extremely fortuitous angle.

The most important athletic measurables for the NFL are the 3-cone, followed by the short shuttle for non-linemen and the bench press for linemen, but they're not as sexy as the 40.

I didn't say they should be completely dismissed - but fact of the matter is - they are useless.
Case in point - the last record holder Chris Johnson.

40yd times are a good indication for certain things but other than that there's simply no use for them.

Raiders move from Oakland, California to Las Vegas, Nevada officially approved 31-1. Dolphins only team to vote against move. After a stable period from 2002-2016, the NFL will have three franchises move in four years (Raiders will definitely stay in Oakland for 2017 and maybe for 2018).

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO LIT. SIN CITY RAIDAHHHSSSSS

The proposed stadium looks amazing.

Vegas Raiders.

Interesting, I knew they were considering leaving Oakland but is the Vegas crowd that much into NFL, thought it was more gambling and strip joints?

[Va-Va-Voom]

I didn't even know people lived in Vegas tbh, thought it was just a shithole people visit when they want to party and gamble.

I can feel the under lying resentment in this post .......... bad trip to Vegas? lost the kids college fund on Roulette?

[Santi]

they will regret it, trading their real fans for fake tourist seat fillers.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Marshawn Lynch is coming out of retirement to play for the Raiders, apparently.

Love the guy. I knew he only retired because he didn't want to be around Carroll and Wilson - he never forgave them for not giving him the ball against the Pats.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Aaron Hernandez killed himself.

No sympathy from me. Had it all, then decided to murder his friend.

What a waste of life.
