And somehow he went all the way through waivers to get claimed by the fucking Patriots.

Fuck the Pats.

I want to be mad, but could only laugh when I heard the news - it's the most Pats thing ever.

Do we know if he's going to be suspended by the league? If not, NE just got some nice depth at WR...

Floyd has not had a good year at all, fallen off a cliff a bit and has become drop-prone. Add that to the DUI and there's no guarantee the Pats are going to get much out of him, but I do hope he picks his career up because I've always liked him as a player.

[Lineker]

Apparently even if he doesn't play it helps New England with future compensatory draft picks, or something like that.

[The Buscher]

Them claiming Floyd definitely is one of the most Pats things ever.

Blount is still the one that pisses me off the most.  The guy was a fucking crybaby who walked out on his team to get himself fired, and his reward is being claimed by the Pats and being a key member of a Super Bowl winning team.  And according to Boston fans, Blount was owed redemption somehow.  If the roles were reversed and he'd walked out on the Pats they'd be openly rooting for an ACL tear.

I'm fully expecting we'll be typing Super Bowl MVP Michael Floyd in February.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm not sure you'll find a bigger Michael Floyd fan on the board than me. But I think the only way I'd hate this more would be if he had gone to the Raiders. 

On the flip side, maybe he'll pull a Randy Moss and he can get his shit turned around and tap into the potential we've all seen flashes of.

Nah. Don't see him being released again and picked up by the Cowboys.

 

[DMN in the House]

Man, I'm getting really tired of having to explain Los Angeles sports politics to people on reddit, and why the Chargers moving here is the single dumbest thing they could do that doesn't involve moving in with any other team. They're going to lose all their San Diego fans, because SD is our little brother and thus hates anything from LA, to move to a city that already has a team, and even that team has a smaller fanbase their than your main rivals!

Sounds great, who wouldn't want to do that?

[TCO]

Franchise value skyrockets though and that's all that matters to Spanos and all the other owners. 

They need to go complete rebrand in LA and if they start winning the people will come. 

[gunnar hendershow]

They'll be stuck in LA for awhile too because moving out of that media market hurts the franchise value, even if they're poorly supported.

For a lot of the younger generation and people who have relocated to LA it'll be the first team that becomes regularly competitive that becomes "their" team, but a lot of people are already set in their ways with their teams. For example the first 2-3 seasons of Ravens football here saw half the crowd cheering for Pittsburgh whenever they played. I can only imagine a lot of LA will be cheering for the Raiders when they come to town to face the Chargers.

[GhostMachine]

If the Raiders move to Vegas, they should change the team name to Buffet Raiders and add a bib to the logo on the helmet.

[Lineker]

I did not stay awake for that Matt Moore/Bryce Petty classic.

[TCO]

Matt Moore is pretty good though, definitely good enough to start in the NFL. 

Petty also got hi-lowed by an unblocked Suh and Wake which was pretty entertaining. All I could hope for!

What are we going to do at QB? Someone reassure me please  

[Meacon Keaton]

Overpay for Mike Glennon or Tony Romo? Or draft an overrated college quarterback? The possibilities are endless!

 

Actually no, those are probably the most likely possibilities.

[Lineker]

Fucking bench Osweiler already! 

Finally! Savage is in!

Barkley is looking ok. Do you think that could be a long term thing?

I was wondering why Pomp and Circumstance started randomly playing.

[Meacon Keaton]

@Srar Humbug I very much doubt it. He's a Brian Hoyer. He's fine for a two or three year stint but he's not a franchise quarterback and you won't win anything with him leading the way.

[Your Mom]

I was afraid you would say that  

 

Also Ty Montgomery is a jerk!
