I totally agree. The thread derailing, in-fighting and alt accounts have gotten out of hand and have spiraled downward. Its now officially as bad as the old board and probably worse.
I would try to make a plea to general sensibilities but I have realized that trolls don't have general sensibilities. They see this board as their personal playground and could care less that most people here just want to talk football.
Try not to be angry at them, just be sad. They don't have friends to talk with. So while we just come here for football.. they come here for way more of their social life than they should.

I'm sure the fact that it's taken this long to get it done has made them shorten the original 7 days from deal completion.

I think it ends up being Friday, but hope they do finalize all this tonight. The next big wave of players to opt-out probably hinges on a lot of that language.
No point getting too far into camp with someone that is going to just walk away.

Serious question: in the history of the NFL has there ever been a successful player named Dino?

It really looks like the NFL is going to regret not going the bubble route. MLB is having a lot of issues, and from what I understand, the NBA hasn't had an issue. Does anyone have any knowledge of NBA players getting covid after they restarted the season?
It's probably too late for the NFL, but they should have at least considered a short season with expanded playoffs - that woulda been cool. Seriously, the Word Cup style tourney is only 64 total games with the two finalists playing 7 total games. Like half a season would have been fine.

I said from the start that the MLB was going to be a blueprint for the NFL season. By that measure, the NFL is doomed. The bubble is working pretty well for the NBA & NHL, but they went straight to playoff mode. The NFL would have to pull off a six month bubble which would have been a monumental task with huge rosters & staff, but sending these guys all over the country is going be the season's undoing.
All that said, the NFL does have a tremendous advantage of playing a lot less games...even in a full season and rigorous contact tracing during the next five weeks can put the NFL in a better starting point than MLB ever really tried to have.

Meh. Some people just get uncomfortable about certain things.
I'm not thinking too much into it.
IMHO Nick Foles has massive stones based on they way he played in the 2017 Superbowl. His defense did little to slow down the Pats and he had to make plays. Not only did he perform on the field he was the one that called for the Philly Special on 4th down, which is by far the franchises most iconic play:
So many other players get smaller in that large of a moment. He rose to the occasion and dominated. That's completely worthy of the nick name onto itself.

The week between games is a huge advantage.
