Board 8 > NFL Discussion Topic - Conference Championships + Pro Bowl

(+) Yeah! (+)

Finally.... 14 years of waiting for this rematch
---

this game is the gift that keeps on giving
---

Hundred some penalty yards for the Jags

One single penalty for the Patriots

They straight up don't care at this point. They are just blatantly rubbing it in our faces.
---

Now that that's over, who's excited for the Pro Bowl?

I don't think I've ever actually watched one.
---

Actually, the Eagles winning is very cool and good

Woooooooooooooooooo

Never have watched or will watch an all-star game

And all people who watch the pro bowl or nba all star game do after is talk about how bad the game was, then have an argument about getting rid of it that inevitably ends with "nah it's fine". The cycle then repeats the next year

The NFL is dead

@MrSmartGuy another transitive Super Bowl victory clinched for the Chiefs

We truly are spoiled
---

Eagles are the biggest Super Bowl underdogs since the Cards against the Steelers in 2009.
---

Surprised it's under 7
---

Chiefs are the transitive Super Bowls kings.
---

I really want to know what people saw in these games that makes them think this should be such a large spread
---

Its about making money. If your goal was to make a lot of money on a super bowl line, what would you set it at?
---

Panthers DC Steve Wilks expected to be the new Cardinals coach
---

And now Shurmur to the Giants is official.

apparently nobody holds it against you if you're bad with the Browns
---

Oh yeah
---

XFL confirmed to be coming back in 2020.

Who's ready for He Hate Me Jr.?

Vince McMahon just said players with a DUI will not be allowed to play in the XFL. Crazy.

LOLOLOL
---

Players are going to be required to stand.
---

does Kaepernick have a DUI or something
---

The caller specifically mentioned Tebow, Manziel, and Kaep in the question Vince gave that DUI answer for. He then said "If Tebow wants to play, he can".
---

"You want someone who does not have any criminality whatsoever associated with them. Even if you have a DUI you will not play in the XFL."

And yet Johnny Football is already hyping the league
---

The media has received the XFL FACT SHEET

I guess I'm going to be "watching" the Super Bowl after all

Someone I know is hosting a Super Bowl party that'll probably amount to "do random things like eat and play Cards Against Humanity with the Super Bowl on in the background"
---

I'm also hosting a party, and by party I mean "yell at the TV while locking myself alone in my room" because I can't watch teams I enjoy compete in big games with other people.
---

Lots of excitement for the Pro Bowl here, which is something I just realized is currently happening.
---

The only thing All-Star-related that I will ever watch is 3-Point Contest for NBA.
---

The NHL skills competition is usually fun.
---

We got some hard hitting questions and answers at media day today, such as "How do you make Bill Belichick laugh?"

I'll likely put up the Super Bowl topic on Wednesday.
---

there won't be anything to discuss about the Super Bowl until Sunday
---

if the Patriots win Brady will have the same super bowl record as the Steelers franchise

You're right, I'm just excited for it.

Big, if true.
---

Alex Smith to the Redskins.

How is this an upgrade?
---

He'll throw fewer interceptions, that's for sure

but other than that

Not just that, they already have him a 4 year contract extension

"What"
---

So where does Cousins go?

Denver? Cleveland? Arizona?
---

Jacksonville, hopefully.
---

If it comes down to money, I see Cleveland as having as good of a chance as anybody. That would then leave the Browns in an extremely favorable position when it comes to the draft with two Top 5 picks.
---

Wherever cousins goes, I hope he thrashes the redskins and makes them regret it.
---

I feel like Bortles played well enough that they'll give him another year, for better or worse
---

The Jags were more scared of Bortles at the end of that game than they were of Brady. He's gone.
---

Apparently Bortles had wrist surgery recently. So if he can't pass a medical by the time the new league year starts, his 5th year option is guaranteed. So the Jags might have to keep him regardless of whether they want to or not.

Confirmed that the Alex Smith trade is for a 3rd rounder and Kendall Fuller, who was a top 10 ranked CB in football last year, who also happens to be 22 years old and still on his rookie contract for 2 more years, to play opposite Marcus Peters and be backed up by Eric Berry.

This is seriously the happiest I've been about the Chiefs since the Pats opening game. How does such a one-sided trade even happen? I'm actually going to have trouble sleeping tonight, I'm so excited.
---

Didn't they fire their GM recently

How did they manage to hire an even worse one
---

This is probably one of the most staggeringly shitty trades I've ever seen
