West Ham Online

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

That combined the decision to go all in on Daniel Jones was always completely baffling.

Good point for West Ham today....now Go Commanders!

Washington and Buffalo for me today.

I like Andy Reid but new (or really long time gone) blood would be nice for the Super Bowl win. 

The Cowgirls have appointed Brian Schottenheimer, son of Marty, as head coach.

He was the Jets’ OC back in the late 2000s, under Rex when we went to the playoffs twice. But we weren’t exactly renowned for our offensive nous. That was the team QB’d by Mark Sanchez. Which tells you a lot about how poor Schott’s offense was. We barely threw the ball!

Strange appointment for Dallas. Let’s hope he doesn’t work out!

Yeah, that’s a tough division for a 73 year-old returnee. Chiefs, Chargers and and an improving Broncos.

He’s going to well into his 70s by the time he’s got “his” team sorted.

Looks like a money move.

He got his silver in other ways from Kraft with various things. Probably all a bit off the books dodgy TBH. 

Yeah, it was the bonuses I was trying to think of.

no cough, I don't think just he was ever any part of the patriots owner group. he just understood how more competitive the team would be, no doubt the bonuses for play-off wins and superbowls got him a lot of that money back. was listening to a couple of ex players this week talking about how the whole staff of these franchises get paid when they make the post season, even the equipment staff get a bonus

Didn't he take a cut in pay, to help NE with the salary cap but I think he got a percentage ownership of NE in return?

yes, Delta Airlines too. one thing I'll say about him, and I'm not a big fan, is he took team friendly deals while playing so others could get paid. that's pretty rare these days, with so many selfish cunts in sports

Didn't know Brady is on the board of Birmingham FC?

How many fucking eggs has he got in his basket?

Hmm…not entirely sure about Darren Mougey as Jets’ new GM.

Don’t know a huge amount about him, to be honest, but it all feels like a Woody “yes man”. Very young, too, so lacks the grey hairs you often need in that role.

Has a proper scouting background, which is a plus. But how independent of the owner will he be?

Would have preferred Newmark’s experience to go alongside a first-time new HC. Have to wait and see.

 

Pete Carroll back as a HC in Vegas. Tough job competing in that division, but fair play taking it on
