ESPN is a shell of its former self. People like Stuart Scott, Kenny Mayne, and Hannah Storm made the network entertaining. It was like watching sports with all of your friends.

Today it is just a bunch of folks yelling at one another. People like Steven A Smith making themselves the story and drowning out all other opinions by screaming. We went from watching with friends to not watching because our dysfunctional family can’t stop fighting long enough to turn the channel on.

spot on SAS is the main issue he's injected into everything and for the life of me can't see how people like his narcassistic nature of putting himself above the playerss

Nobody I know watches him or admits to it at least

I still have no idea what they were thinking drafting Richardson. I guess they weren’t keen on anyone in FA that year. But heck, he was totally unproven. He was Mitch Trubiski 2.0.

He's not looking that great.....that's for sure. I think they were looking at a a guy who was 6'4", 245 pounds, ran a 4.38 40, and had a rocket arm. That's all great, but you have to know how to play QB too. LOL.

I think he could still be a very, very good QB. You see a lot of guys in their mid/late 20s when all of the sudden a lightbulb goes off. Maybe in a couple of years.....or so.......

His problem is that he has never been accurate. Even against college defenses he lacked accuracy.
You have no business playing QB in the NFL if you have a 40% completion percentage.

All too true. IIRC, Josh Allen had accuracy issues....not this bad though. QBs can mature and if they work on developing their skills, they can improve dramatically. The Burrows, Mahomes, Marinos, etc. of the world are the exceptions; even when they are drafted very high in the 1st round (which Marino was not).

Not close to the same, but an interesting factoid

Nolan Ryan holds the record for most walks in a career (2,795), and he also threw seven no-hitters, which is also a record. In his seven no-hitters, he walked a total of 26 batters, according to Wikipedia. His most walks in a single game were 10, which he achieved twice.

Reggie Jackson admitted he was afraid of him. He said "that man puts the fear of god in you".

A followup....

Ryan is the only guy who puts fear in me. Not because he can get you out but because he can kill you.​

The fact that Richardson pulled himself out of a game for being too tired last season, this decision was probably an easy one. Not to mention he looked awful in his preseason games.

I don't expect the Colts to be very good regardless. Probably a 4 to 5 win team there.

That sounds about right to me. In the NFL, you just never know though. I've been expecting the light bulb turn on in Daniel Jones head for a couple of years now and I've seen a few flickers. The guy has the talent to be a really nice QB, but has been very inconsistent and you just can't play QB in the NFL without consistency.

Maybe this year......many Giants fans were probably thinking the same thing. LOL

As far as Richardson goes, yeah......that was one of the weirdest things I ever heard. Can you even imagine Joe Flacco (or anyone else for that matter) doing something like that? SMH....

it's crazy cause in college the seperation is insane if you can't complet 65% in college most teams wont give u a first rd grade

he should not have gone top 4 that is evidently clear now

you never heard on the main line sports networks [Espn , Fox sports etc] but player podcast suggested he lost alot of respect in locker room behind that decision

Old school coaches would have cut him after such a decision

man listen I capped for him for 6 years he's the first one in building last one to leave, O line needs improvement etc..

He just can't read defenses I wish him no ill will but I'm glad he's another teams problem now
and yes I"m hate watching the Colts this year lol

That's the kind of player that "can" improve when the game slows down just a bit, but I totally understand your frustration with him and I'd probably feel the same way if he was on the team I follow. I'd also be pissed if this was the year he gets it.

Speaking of OL, did they move Neal to OG? If so, how's he looking? He just didn't have the mobility and quickness to play outside, but he's really big and my guess is that he's really strong. They should have tried him there a long time ago.
