2013/2014 NFL Thread: Where Hawks Fly - Part 8

Stadiums have had corporate sponsorships since Wrigley Field was built. I don't know why this bothers people?

Because titles like Bank of America Stadium, Verizon Wireless Arena, Qualcomm Stadium and so on sound tacky as hell.

Giants have signed their former WR Mario Manningham to a 1yr deal.

I've been pretty happy with what Reese has done in free agency. They're probably going to use their picks for O line and TE.

It beats the alternative

 

[runawayboulder]

They've already started heading in that direction with the practice jersey's. The gameday ones are right around the corner. It's like the NFL is in a race with the NBA on who can be the faster sell-out.

 

[smashmode]

Looks like it will Seahawks, Cowboys or retirement for Jared Allen.

 

[Warhammer]

Ol' Jerry will give him his money.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I was about to say that Jared Allen should go to Washington and try to get some Danny Snyder money, but then I remembered that he's still a productive player so it wouldn't be a good fit.

 

[Warhammer]

Don't worry. Washington will be his last destination before he retires. Bet your life on that one.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Indeed. Washington is the last stop on every player's farewell tour.

 

[runawayboulder]

I thought that was Oakland...

 

[vindrow]

I thought that was Oakland...

Or the Browns.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, I guess it's a crapshoot between those teams.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Why in the hell are the Eagles even considering trading Desean Jackson?

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Why in the hell are the Eagles even considering trading Desean Jackson?

Cuz, he complains about his contract and threatens to hold out every 10 seconds.

NFL Announces Jacksonville Jaguars To Play 16 Games In London Next Season


NEW YORK—Noting the league’s increasing popularity among fans in Britain and across Europe, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell revealed Tuesday that the Jacksonville Jaguars will play 16 regular season games in London next season.

“Fans in the United Kingdom have shown an incredible passion and enthusiasm for our sport, so I’m thrilled to announce 16 exciting matchups featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium next year,” Goodell told reporters, adding that the Jaguars will be listed as the home team for eight of their London games and as the away team for the remaining eight. “This is a great opportunity to further grow the NFL internationally and give thousands of British fans the chance to see the Jaguars play in person. And to prevent any logistical issues, the team will stay in England during those weeks with their own practice field, training facility, and front office based in London.”

Goodell also confirmed that the Jaguars would also wear special limited-edition uniforms for their London games, featuring a new color scheme and team logo.

Hey Rows, I was sorting through some pictures this week, and found some from my 2004 trip to Jacksonville. I vow, should I ever return there, I will seek out the Jaguar statue and JAGUAR, just for you. Because that's what friends are for

Hahaha awesome. But you'd better do it soon because otherwise, you might have to go to London to attend a Jaguars game. t:

I only wish I had known about about JAGUARING back then.

WOW. I'd hate to be the opposition, having to travel all way to Europe & back.

He's a Jaguar fan. I don't think they find anything funny.

My god, you're just as fierce as the statue.
