San Francisco has cut their losses and traded Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a 4th round pick. In 2021, San Francisco traded three 1st round picks and a third round selection to move up to #3 and select Lance.

Such a stupid pick. He had bust stamped on his forehead.

It has been 207 days since a meaningful NFL football game was played. Today, the long, national nightmare known as the "Offseason" comes to an end. NFL football is back.

Detroit upsets defending champ Kansas City in the opener 21-20.

For Jets fans, it can't get any worse. J-I-N-X - maybe?

The Jets franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who signed with the Jets in April after being traded from the Packers, goes down with a torn left Achilles injury four plays into the Bills game on Monday after being sacked by Bills DE Leonard Floyd. An MRI will be needed. Is he out of the season? Quite possibly.

 

[The Yak]

Heartbreaking turn of events for the Jets and their fans. I am sure this is not how Aaron Rodgers wants to go out but he is 39 years old and this not a minor injury.

And the Packers will now get a 2nd Round pick from the JETS instead of a 1st Round.

Jessica Simpson was accused of being a jinx for Tony Romo. It seems Dak Prescott found a good luck charm (PAWG Emily):

Dak hasn't gotten a SB ring ... because the Cowboys suck.

Goes back to Tony Romo's time there ...

Dick Butkus has died.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I just saw a story on Yahoo. I'm not a fan of football, but even I know Dick Butkus. He was at one time A third owner of my favorite cigar company, Camacho. He and his 2 partners sold to Davidoff a few years ago. I thought he was a colorful character, and while I can't speak to his coaching or playing record, I do know he made some great appearances, on a few shows. R.I.P. Mr. Butkus

Jonathan Taylor and the Colts reach an agreement on an extension. Taylor will his end holdout and make season debut against the Titans tomorrow.

The Charlotte Hornets got their first win of the season before the Carolina Panthers did. This is less than ideal.

Trade deadline is Tuesday at 4PM. Might be some activity there.

Speaking of the trade deadline: PHI and TEN swapped safeties.

Young over Stroud not looking too good so far.

Young over Stroud not looking too good so far.

Looking good today.

Seahawks acquired DT Leonard Williams from the Giants in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.

Trade deadline has come and gone. Fire sale in Washington with both Montez Sweat and Chase Young being dealt. Could this be Ron Rivera's last year with the team?
