It's a dumb move for Chicago because they went out and finally got Justin Fields a weapon or two on offense only to turn around and trade him. Fields can still be really, really good if not great. That's not to say Caleb Williams will be a bust. Far from it. I think he's gonna be great provided the franchise does everything it can to give him the chance to succeed. But this? Well, this is like taking two steps forward and one -- if not two -- steps back. That said, it may have been a lose-lose situation anyway for the Bears. I don't know. It just appeared they were still willing to give Fields a chance because he's shown flashes of brilliance on the field, especially last season. The team's woes shouldn't be put on him. As for the Steelers, they traded away Kenny Pickett, a hometown kid, to help pave the way for Russell Wilson to be the starter only for them to bring in Justin Fields? It just seems strange to me. It seemed like they wanted Wilson to be a bridge QB for a potential soft reset at the position via the draft. But this? I mean hey, wanting a QB competition is one thing. This, however, makes me question everything the Steelers have done when it comes to their QB situation. That's why I say it's a dumb move for Pittsburgh as well. Also, what tsar said. Update: According to ESPN, Fields will NOT compete with Russell Wilson for the starting job at Pittsburgh. I wonder why not because he again has shown he can play. He just needs some weapons on offense.

Yeah, that's a dumb move.

Kirk Frost Falconer is what he should change his name to. Just to mess with @André Toulon. (j/k Buddy. lol) In other news, we've traded the 23rd overall pick, which originally belonged to the Cleveland Browns, but we had received from them as part of the Groper Cleveland (read: Deshaun Watson) trade, to the Minnesota Vikings for, uh, more draft picks. Story per NFL.com I don't know what to make of it, to be honest. I mean with the offseason moves we've made since Monday, it sort of make sense, but I'm usually someone who values first-round picks immensely. That said, this draft is said to be pretty deep so it's not like we won't find value in the second and third rounds. And like I've said earlier, in Nick Caserio we trust! Besides, I think we need to look for guys who are good role players to fill out our roster from here on out. Even more breaking news! Kenny Pickett is going to the Eagles! (Again, story per NFL.com) I'm just gonna be quiet and tag @sahockeygrl15. I want to know what she thinks of this.

Ian Rapaport is reporting that the Bengals are trading RB Joe Mixon to my Texans! The Bengals will get Zack Moss in return. (I forgot which position he plays.) The Texans also agreed to terms with former Chiefs P Tommy Townsend, Jeff Okudah, Lonnie Johnson, and notable Ravens ST standout Del'Shawn Phillips. So it's not like we're standing still. We're making some moves as well. Just not what I was expecting. Still, in Nick Caserio we trust! Edit: Zack Moss played for the Colts last season and signed with Cincinnati, hence the Bengals trading Mixon to the Texans. I don't know what we're giving up yet.

Former Packers RB Aaron Jones agrees to terms on 1-yr/$7M deal with the Minnesota Vikings, per NFL.com. Also, QB Sam Darnold is also a Viking, signing a 1-yr/$10M deal with the team. I get what Minnesota is doing, but I have to wonder if they may still draft a QB next month. If they do, fans are gonna expect him to play, and he probably will before the season's over.

Exactly, especially with the AEW vs. WWE tribalism going on these days. We should just watch what we like without making fun of each other for it. (But that's just too much to ask so...*shrugs*?)

The IWC as a whole is a massive shitshow. I figured that out several years ago when several of my favorite wrestlers at the time, which also happened to be some of the IWC's favorites as well, finally got their due and won the big belts and they were suddenly massively hated. I concluded that some people just want something to bitch about so I largely quit engaging wtih them. Mark my words: As soon as Cody "finishes the story", the IWC is gonna turn on him and demand he drop the belt at the PPV following WrestleMania XL, if not sooner. (I'll be happy as a clam because the guy truly deserves it after all the hard work he's put in to improve both on the mic and in the ring.)

Yeah, I was gonna ask you and Buddy about that. I'm sure both of y'all are happy, but there has to be at least one or two concerns, too, right?

Agreed. He's a cool dude. And I want to reiterate that I wasn't trying to step on any toes. I once again apologize.

PS4: Going back and forth between NHL 23 and Genshin Impact. Steam: WWE 2K23.

Okay. Fair enough.

Hey, Google. When does the 2024 NFL league year start? Again, I only made the thread to try and coincide with the start of the new league year and discuss it, not to undercut you. I'm sorry you feel like I did. Seriously, pooh, that was my only concern.

A new league year has started. It typically starts in March, which is why I made the thread. I'm not trying to compete with anybody. lol

Shut up, pooh. lol (Nah, if you want to take it over and even rename it, that's fine. I just wanted to get one started.)

I was at a Dick's Sporting Goods store several years ago when my ex-wife and I were living in an apartment on the northeast side of Houston. (About fifteen minutes from Bush IAH.) As soon as I saw it, I thought of you and took a pic with my iPhone. I was gonna send it to you via PM when I got back to what was our home at the time, but I never got around to it.

That's awesome! Good luck. Also, I got NHL 23 recently. (I know, I know. Why not NHL 24? Because money. That's why. lol) I've been enjoying it so far.

Figured I'd get this started in time for free agency, which offically starts Monday. Some notable FA's are Saquan Barkley, Derrick Henry, Mike Evans, Chris Jones, Kirk Cousins, and "Hollywood" Marquise Brown. The list of the Top 100 free agents, according to pff.com, can be found here.

I feel this pic should be Scoob's avatar going forward.

So if we go down in history, are we really losers? Wouldn't it be worse to not be remembered at all? Edit: I just saw that you meant Lores and not losers. Whoops. (I'm not changing it though. lol)

Sweet! Now to figure out whether or not to use our fantasy team names or UEMB names? (Answer: UEMB names. it just makes more sense.)

I mean as long as you like chorizo and egg with beans and cheese, I'm cool with it. lol (Yes, I'm actually talking about food and nothing else.)

"Life's a piece of shit when you look at it"

I can put it in my sig. It would probably have to be a mini version in case I or someone else ends up winning multiple championships in the future. Heck, i (or someone else) might be able to make something for multiple sports in the future. For example, I also won a fantasy hockey championship years back as well.

No. I have Verizon. I did, however, meet this cute chick at the Verizon store I went to Monday night in order to pay my bill. (I usually pay online, but decided to go in person since I was out of the house and in the area.) We bonded over the Astros, Doctor Who, and other stuff. (I'll probably never see her again, though, which is sad because she was pretty darn cool.)

I was going to post some existential bullshit, but decided against it. Just not in the mood to do so.
