We open this thread with a bombshell of a note. "Dearest Mother, the war is over and I am coming home." According to Adam Schefter, Andrew Luck has informed the Colts that he is retiring from the NFL. Updates to come.
The Colts lost to the Bears, 27-17.
-
Saw this and felt the need to share it -
Physical toll on Andrew Luck through 6 NFL seasons:
» Torn cartilage in 2 ribs
» partially torn abdomen
» a lacerated kidney that left him peeing blood
» at least 1 concussion
» a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder
» and this mysterious calf/ankle issue that led to this
The Colts completely mismanaged him and let him get destroyed out there.
-
He's back! According to Todd Archer, the Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott agreed on a six-year contract extension, with the running back planning to be at practice today.
-
Good news, everyone! The NFL is officially back tonight. The bad news is that because of the two teams playing, I'm hoping for a tie. Your Opening Night schedule:

I hope this incident serves as a wake-up call, but you never really know. Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said wide receiver Antonio Brown will play on Monday against the Broncos in Oakland, Calif.

Over and over again AB keeps getting rewarded for acting like a jackass. He got a massive contract after not playing in his final game as a Steeler and forcing his way out. He got an endorsement deal out of the helmet drama. And now he is not going to get suspended for yelling and threatening to punch the GM.
-
So much for the second opportunity. The Raiders released wide receiver Antonio Brown.

He has since lost his helmet endorsement.
That really is unfortunate how callus the Patriots are being in regard to the underlying concern here. The victim has or is set to speak to NFL directors and now the Patriots are forced to take this more seriously but this is civil not criminal allegation so only so much can be investigated and according to NFLPA agreements Brown might skate. Marquise Brown of the Ravens has been listed in the lawsuit as being in the house at the time of the allegedly incident but is not named in the suit as having been directly involved. Stay tuned and I hope I posted in the proper place on my first post.

The Browns beat the Jets, 23-3.
-
I just can't see AB's career bouncing back from this latest turn of events. The Patriots released wide receiver Antonio Brown.
-
Honestly, I'm starting to worry if we're looking at symptoms of CTE. Wide receiver Antonio Brown unleashed a tirade on Twitter, calling out ex-teammate and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Patriots principle owner Robert Kraft and said he's done playing in the NFL. Updates to come.
The Patriots beat the Jets, 30-14.
The Steelers lost to the 49ers, 24-20.
-
What this is is two teams looking to break two bad slumps. The 1-1 Bears are playing the 0-2 Redskins on Monday Night Football. The Bears have seven straight losses in the series. The Redskins are 1-16 in their last 17 at home on MNF. Updates to come.

This defense is even more frightening. According to Adam Schefter, the Jaguars are trading cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Rams for first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 and a fourth-round pick in 2021.
-
I am 95% sure the Dolphins botched that 2-point conversion against Washington on purpose. Not saying Drake dropped that ball on purpose, but they did pick a horrible play that had almost no chance of being successful.
-
Things could've been so much more worse. According to source reporting to Adam Schefter, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' MRI "turned out to be a best-case scenario" as Mahomes is expected to miss three games.
-
Time to reignite a rivalry. The Patriots are playing the Jets on Monday Night Football. The Patriots are seeking their first 7-0 start since 2015 and Tom Brady has 22 road primetime wins. Updates to come.
The Patriots beat the Jets, 33-0.
-
Rumors are swirling that Tom Brady is leaving NE after this year. I think he is considering retirement given his age and if the Pats do win it all this year. They made a serious move to get Sanu which seems like one of the moves you make when you know your time is short.
-

-
I didn't see this twist coming. According to Adam Schefter and Josina Anderson, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett alleged that Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph called him a racial slur just prior to the brawl. Rudolph denied it.
UPDATE: So much for the "He started it" argument. Garrett's indefinite suspension was upheld and Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey's suspension was reduced from three games to two.

Riverboat Ron has gone up the creek without a paddle. The Panthers fired head coach Ron Rivera. He had a 76-63-1 regular-season record in nine seasons.

History is on the line. The 6-7 Colts are playing the 10-3 Saints on Monday Night Football. The Saints’ Drew Brees needs three passing touchdowns to pass Peyton Manning. The Colts will be eliminated with a loss. Updates to come.
UPDATE: That is one for the record books. Brees threw his 540th touchdown to pass Manning for No. 1 on the all-time passing touchdown list and celebrated with his teammates and blew kisses to his family afterwards.
The Saints beat the Colts, 34-7.
-
There were high expectations going into the season and now that they underperformed, change was inevitable. According to Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen, the Browns fired head coach Freddie Kitchens after a 6-10 season and a 33-23 loss to the Bengals.
-
So much talent is on this team but they continue to underperform. According to Adam Schefter, the Giants will fire head coach Pat Shurmur, who went 9-23 in two seasons.

It is time to move on. According to Ed Werder, the Cowboys decided that Jason Garrett will not be part of their future after nine seasons as full-time head coach.

UPDATE: We couldn't get this game decided in 60 minutes so now we need bonus football. The Bills and Texans are heading to overtime with the game tied at 19 in a wild card game.
The Texans beat the Bills, 22-19, in overtime. (What a thriller today in Houston!)
UPDATE 2: You have to wonder if this is the last ride for TB12. The Titans ended the Patriots' season at Gillette Stadium with a 20-13 win. The Titans' Derrick Henry had 182 rushing yards and a touchdown and they will play the Ravens on Jan. 11 in Baltimore. The Patriots suffered their first home playoff loss since 2012. Because of this game, the Texans will play the Chiefs on Jan. 12 in Kansas City, Mo.
-
Now he's out of a job? According to Fox Sports, the Cowboys officially informed Jason Garrett that he will not be returning as head coach.
-
Let's see if this will improve things in Big D. According to Fox Sports, the Cowboys are expected to hire former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy to the same position.
-
I feel like somebody's fortunes are about to change. Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa announced he will enter the NFL draft. Tagovailoa is Mel Kiper Jr.'s No. 12 overall prospect.
-
This is quite the upgrade. According to Yahoo Sports, the Panthers are going to hire Baylor Bears head coach Matt Rhule to the same position.
-
Don't worry, I'm scratching my head over this one, too. According to Adam Schefter, the Giants are finalizing a deal to make Patriots special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach Joe Judge their next head coach.
-
This job feels like looking for a Spinal Tap drummer. According to NFL Network, the Browns plan to hire Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski as head coach.
-
That is how you erase a deficit. The Chiefs turned a big deficit into a rout by beating the Texans, 51-31, to reach the AFC championship against the Titans on Jan. 19 in Kansas City, Mo. The Chiefs became the first team to win a playoff game by 20 points after trailing by 20 points.
-
I will guess he was looking out for his health. Panthers linebacker and 2013 Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly retired from the NFL at the age of 28.
-
This is becoming a "what could've been" player type of story. The New Orleans Police Department issued an arrest warrant accusing Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. of simple battery.
-
I understand these words, but not in this order. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said on Westwood One that he's open-minded about playing elsewhere next season, saying, "I'm open-minded about the process."
-
It's about time. The Chiefs moved on to play in the Super Bowl on Feb. 2 in Miami Gardens, Fla., after beating the Titans, 35-24. This is the Chiefs' first Super Bowl appearance since the 1969 season and Patrick Mahomes had 294 passing yards and four total touchdowns. The Titans' Derrick Henry had 69 rushing yards and a touchdown.
UPDATE: And so it is set. Raheem Mostert powered the 49ers to the Super Bowl with a 37-20 win over the Packers with 220 rushing yards and four touchdowns. The 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo was 6-of-8 for 77 passing yards. The Packers' Aaron Rodgers is 0-3 against the 49ers in the playoffs.
-
Next stop, Canton, Ohio. According to Dan Graziano and Jordan Raanan, two-time Super Bowl-winning Giants quarterback Eli Manning will announce his retirement on Friday.
-
If Eli makes the Hall of Fame and Ken Andersen doesn't, that's going to be a huge joke on the NFL's part. I don't care how many rings he's got or that they came against the Pats, he don't belong in the HoF IMO.
-
This downhill slide is getting sadder by the moment. An arrest warrant was issued for wide receiver Antonio Brown by Hollywood, Fla., police on felony charges of burglary and battery.
-
Hopefully, this can be resolved in a manner where he gets help. Wide receiver Antonio Brown turned himself in after a warrant for his arrest was issued stemming from an incident at his Hollywood, Fla. home.
-
Was there any other option? Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was named NFL MVP. Jackson joined Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as the only unanimous winners in the award’s history.
-
What a comeback! The Chiefs defeated the 49ers, 31-20, to win Super Bowl XIL. The Chiefs are the third team to win a Super Bowl after trailing by at least 10 points in the fourth quarter.
UPDATE: The youth movement is on. The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP, becoming the youngest player in NFL history to win both a Super Bowl MVP and an NFL MVP, which he won in 2018, at 24 years and 138 days.
-
This is becoming a "what could've been" player type of story. The New Orleans Police Department issued an arrest warrant accusing Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. of simple battery.
As a lifelong Ohioan, I remember going to relatives' soccer (lifelong American) games, and both seeing & hearing how excited folks were to know he'd be playing for the local team...While simultaneously wondering if they remained aware he'd be playing for the local team.
