Leader Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 NJ.com's Mike Kaye reports the Carson Wentz-to-DeSean Jackson connection has been automatic early on in camp practices. We heard similar reports back in the spring, and the duo has carried it over to the summer. Per Kaye, Wentz has been dropping bombs into the bucket for Jackson, who has routinely roasted the Eagles' corners. The two have also been linking up on deep comebacks and fade patterns, showing D-Jax isn't just a straight-line speed guy. Jackson stayed in Philly all offseason to work with Wentz, and it's paying off right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 3 hours ago, Leader said: A Louisiana judge ordered that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and three officials from January’s NFC title game be questioned under oath in September about the infamous “no-call” that helped the Los Angeles Rams beat the New Orleans Saints in January’s NFC title game, a lawyer said Monday. Attorney Antonio LeMon, who filed a lawsuit over the game that advanced the Rams to the Super Bowl, said he and league attorneys will pick a mutually agreeable date for depositions in New Orleans — barring any league appeals that might delay or cancel the questioning. A league spokesman declined comment. LeMon’s lawsuit seeks $75,000 in damages — to be donated to charity — over the failure to flag a pass interference or roughness penalty against Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman Aaron Nagler: You’ve got to be ******* kidding me. Minnesota should sue that charity in New Orleans for $75,000 for the bounty game, for a charity in the Twin Cites, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Twitter somebody said they wanted legal recourse for Jerry Rice's "non-fumble" back when........ It's gotten ridiculous. IMO our reliance on tape replay has gotten ridiculous - but - for sporting organizations to marry up with gambling organizations - it could be considered an (unstated....) hedge is being built in to keep on the field activities from turning in to European soccer - i.e. corrupt. The leagues will never make such a declaration public - so its pure conjecture on my part - but......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Don Shula and the Colts swear that one of the Packers championships from the 60s the winning FG was no good because it went over the upright? Should the Colts sue the Packers but then give the winnings to Baltimore for taking their team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 The Detroit Free Press reports the Lions intend to use second-round LB Jahlani Tavai "all over the field." Reporter Dave Birkett expects Tavai to feature in a "variety of roles." So far, Tavai has run in both the middle and outside, as well as the "stack" linebacker spot. Coach Matt Patricia indeed appears ready to use Tavai as a versatile Kyle Van Noy type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Seahawks first-round DE L.J. Collier suffered a high-ankle sprain during Tuesday's practice. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that Collier is expected to miss the entire preseason. The No. 29 overall pick should probably be considered questionable for Week 1, which is in 40 days. It's the last thing the Seahawks needed following Jarran Reed's suspension. Ezekiel Ansah's (shoulder) health has taken on even greater importance. Collier did not test well at the Combine, so beginning his career with a serious ankle issue isn't exactly ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 An NFL source tells SNY there is "almost no way" Golden Tate wins the appeal of his four-game suspension. Sources tell reporter Ralph Vacchiano the "best Tate could hope for" is getting his ban reduced from four games to three, and that even that is a long shot. Tate has a compelling story of accidentally taking a banned fertility substance then self reporting the violation, but it doesn't matter in the NFL's eyes.

AlexGreen#20 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 What is a fertility substance other than a testosterone booster? Guys used to take viagras with some frequency for that reason, thus leading to maybe the funniest baseball story ever: https://deadspin.com/as-greg-maddux-stories-go-this-is-a-hard-on-to-top-1497594282 When they played together on the Cubs, Mark Grace once noticed Maddux walking around the pitching mound in a very strained, uncomfortable manner. Fearing his teammate was hurt, Grace approached the mound, only to find Maddux in an state of obvious physical excitement, the kind normally reserved for passionate endeavors. "Man, you really do love to pitch," Grace marveled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
