NFL offseason thread

Holy shit, Chuck Muncie died. 60 years old. 

All that cocaine abuse in the 80s finally tackled his heart.

Yarp.

Not so fast my friend, on the McClain retirement.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/05/15/mcclain-could-be-back/

Linebacker Rolando McClain, 23, has gotten married, been arrested twice, been cut by the lowly Oakland Raiders, then signed by the champion Baltimore Ravens and has now retired.

That's a busy life for most people. McClain has managed to do all of that since the beginning of January.

On Wednesday, one of the more bizarre careers in NFL history ended, at least for now, with McClain telling Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome that he was done.

"Rolando let me know that he plans to retire from the NFL," Newsome said in a release from the Ravens.

I love how that article tries to put some of the blame on the Raiders franchise.  It also seems to neglect the fact that his efforts at "change" after being married preceded his most recent arrests.  Fuck that guy and fuck Yahoo sports even more.  Biggest collection of hacks and garbage in one site online.

Also:  Josh Cribbs to Oakland!

Bleacher report is the biggest collection of hacks.

So ESPN is doing a countdown of the greatest coaches in NFL history: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9272249/roots-nfl-coaching-trees-run-deep

Um...it is Vince Lombardi.  The countdown to #1 has all the suspense of figuring out who the top home run hitter in Braves history is.

Well, duh.

I'm sure there's some tard out there fighting a Twitter war for Chipper Jones.  HE JUST HAS TO BE AGED MORE

Yeah, the real suspense is seeing how they arrange guys like Shula, Belichick, Noll, Madden, Parcells, Landry and Walsh.  And that's not especially suspenseful.

Brian Urlacher retired today.

Crabtree fucked his Achilles up.

[katmai]

Yep

[CountDeMoney]

He'll be missed, but it's not like they don't have quality options, either.

Well hopefully Jenkins from last year takes this opportunity to step up, what sucks is Manningham and Williams both coming back from serious knee injuries so Boldin is only healthy WR.

Yeah, they have options.  They just drafted AJ Jenkins last year, Manningham is coming back, and Boldin can take over a game if other players can draw off some coverage.  That's at least two, maybe three good options.  The touts are saying that they should get Randy Moss on the phone ASAP, but I'm not so sure.  It seems to me that Boldin has the aging receiver angle covered, and unlike Moss he'll fight like a lion for every ball thrown in his general direction.

It's okay, the Seahawks will be fielding CFL team since everyone else will be suspended for PED use.

Looks like Joe Flacco's been working hard since the Super Bowl;  packed on 7 pounds in the weight room, showed up at the first OTA yesterday at 252 lbs.

With Ed Reed and Ray Ray gone, looks like Elvis Dumervil has already stepped in as team drill instructor and chew-your-ass-out training camp motivator.
