OFFICIAL NFL Discussion Thread: 2015-16 Season - Congrats to the Denver Broncos and their fans! SB 5

[IATT]

 

There's a old Skins player who was gay back in the day. He's come out after his career.

Yeah ODB ain't gonna announce it til he's done playing
I'm sure he won't say it now because teams gonna tag him a media distraction if he does so

if he has some sort of statement to make, now would be the time to do it.. while he's still very very good

cause when he starts to slip just a bit, teams wont be willing to put up with stuff

The thing is, why does he even need to say whether he's straight or gay

 

[wavycrocket]

NFL once again blew a call that cost a game. They've officially admitted it was a bad holding call in Titans Raiders that should have ended the game.

Refs admitingly cost the Ravens two games this year.

Not that it matters, but we'd be 6-5 instead of 4-7.

I'm just stating the obvious. Regardless of how we feel, it would be a huge story for the league and the sport.

I dont get what's so hard to understand 

 

Seriously. I'm stumped that they're stumped. 

 

I mean look at this genius...

I figured you weren't the sharpest tool in the shed, but this ain't rocket science bruh.

jjs07 yo this is from a article on Monday. Detailing 5 reasons we will win the East. Thought this part was particularly cool.

Leadership. When general manager Scot McCloughan and coach Jay Gruden were looking to add players this offseason, they did so with a big eye on changing the culture. They needed stronger leaders. That’s what they found in players such as safety Dashon Goldson, end Ricky Jean Francois and nose tackle Terrance Knighton. They haven’t been afraid to express their thoughts, either. Here’s what veteran corner Will Blackmon said of Goldson: “He does a good job critiquing every player in the room. You may not like it at the time, but he’s trying to help you get better.” Goldson called a players-only meeting Saturday night just to allow himself -- and many others -- to say whatever they needed. They have plenty of flaws, but every time the ******** have been in position to save their season they have done so with a spirited effort. They haven’t beaten a team that currently has a winning record, but they’re 5-2 against teams with losing records. That leadership and mindset will make a difference in the final five games.

Good stuff, bro. Goldson's play has been up and down, but he has the "C" on his jersey for a reason.

McCloughan has been the single-most important hire this franchise has had in decades. 5-6 record is what it is, but truth of the matter is no one expected the Skins to be on top of the division at the start of December. There is a lot of football yet to be played, so a lot can happen between now and the end of the season. However, with McCloughan's guidance and having roster stability, this team will hopefully continue to trend upwards.

Flacco/Tyrod weren't walking through that door though

I may be in the minority, but I think coming out actually hurt Michael Sam's draft status

the irony, I can't believe dudes really think this would be swept under the rug and not turned into a national headline

he doesn't..

but if he is going to do, now would be the time to do it

@AdamSchefter : To clarify: Ben Roethlisberger did suffer a concussion Sunday, per team official. Test results showed it today....  

 

[HNL HI]

Dolphins fired Bill Lazor too? thats like 3 coaches already.

 

[HNL HI]

the irony, I can't believe dudes really think this would be swept under the rug and not turned into a national headline

did anyone even say that tho?

 

[stillin729]

it would be so much more awesome if someone you never expected came out like James Harrison

 

[jjs07]

In regards to ODB.....He's not some washed up athlete on his way out of the league, someone retired, or a fringe talent...

You're talking about arguably the best WR in the NFL, that already has endorsements galore, who happens to play in one of the biggest media markets in the world.

 

[EddieDoyers]

he doesn't..

but if he is going to do, now would be the time to do it

I don't think we ever gonna hear a response from him about this doe
He's gonna be risking a lot imo
There's gonna be backlash if he's truly gay

 

[a55a5in11]

Bens a diva

If no one said it, why are we discussing it at the moment?

But clearly you haven't been paying attention ..

All jokes aside Odell is good enough to be gay and have it not be a big deal.

Dude is already in a media market that is super extra how much more of a distraction could it be?

Next time, keep up.

 

[polosanddunks]

Wonder how Manziel finds a way to mess it up once again after being named the starter again

 

[sb]

if odb is gay, there might be a smaller backlash than rhodes or sam. odb is an elite player at his position. due to this some teams and players are more likely to overlook his lifestyle (if that were the case) vs if he was mediocre. gay or not, wouldnt mind odb in denver . i mean, would any of you mind odb on your favorite team if he was gay? i would say most wouldnt mind.

 

[polosanddunks]

I may be in the minority, but I think coming out actually hurt Michael Sam's draft status

I could agree. nobody wanted to deal with that extra extra. Why didn't he just wait to come out or why not just go about his business and if people know then they know...

He gonna be caught sniffing a line
