[quote name="llllllllll" post="21473945" timestamp="1427414530"]Your words not mine, but I'll allow it. But hey, it's not my problem if you guys cant come to a conclusion about something based strictly off of facts, logic and reasoning... This coming from a women. Too funny
49ers waive Jonathon Martin...thank god, never should have gotten him anyway. Who the hell wants an offensive lineman who gets bullied? Give me the nasty gritty bully instead. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
niners looking to sign my boy bishop for lb depth. Played with him as well. He did win a supper bowl with packers when they got their last one. He would be a solid vet to sign.
I can and do disagree, specifically with what you wrote. Just as what I state doesn't make your claim false, you stating that "it's not false, ergo it's true" is inaccurate. The NFL Veteran Combine is not deemed a success simply because you believe it to be so. If 2,000 former players apply for it and one man makes it, that's an atrocious rate of success. It wouldn't be worth the effort nor the funds necessary to establish it were it not for the fact that it's broadcasted on television (presumably the NFL Network; I wouldn't know as I don't have television). Clearly it wasn't worth the time of most of the teams in the NFL, because if there was value to be found at this combine, it would be swallowed up immediately, considering these dudes would be had on league-minimum contracts. I also never said it was a media event, you're putting words in my mouth (which you did in your subsequent post). I'm saying this attempt at creating something that can last and be useful to franchises was a failure. What was it really good for? Throwing dirt on the careers of dudes who were clearly done a couple years ago, like Mikel LeShoure and Mike Bush? Throwing shade at dudes that are never-weres, like Michael Sam? All this shit is good for thus far is training camp fodder. A couple guys who might fall in at #5/6 at WR or deep on the defensive depth charts. You won't be finding guys of particular value out of nowhere. GMs have said as much already. And the fact that the NFL made these guys pay to try out, when they already are veterans? These aren't motherfuckers coming off the street, they've already contributed to franchises in the past, and you're going to make them pay a multi-billion-dollar company that goes untaxed so that they can embarrass themselves on national television? Garbage. Hot, hot fucking garbage. PS the Panthers picked up Jonathan Martin off waivers, and also signed GB castoff WR Jarrett Boykin.
Falcons just lost their 5th round pick and fined 350k for piping crowd noise into the stadium Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
And the Browns get a $250,000 fine, and there GM who has no impact on the game gets a 4 week suspension for texting to the teams sideline during games ... Wtf NFL?
You shouldn't have to pipe crowd noise into the stadium but I think a draft pick is a little severe. Just fine em and move on, no need to sabotage their talent pool for this nonsense. And I don't see why a GM can't communicate via text message with the sideline during the game. Why is that against the rules? I wonder if the 4 week suspension bars him from going to team facilities and discussing the team with anyone else in the front office.

Bucs trade 2 time pro bowl safety dashon goldson to skins in exchange for 2016 pick, retaining part of his salary This new GM has been making some good moves lately, that was one of their weakest positions Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
If safety is your weak position getting Goldson isn't going to help much. Yea he's going to make a lot of big time hits but he's going to get A LOT of 15 yard helmet to helmet flags. As a 49er fan I saw this way to often with Goldson and Whitner. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
2 first round picks and 45 millon spent since 2012 on getting Barron, Revis and him...all 3 are gone now
