Apparently Dallas offered Zeke Bell money, but he wants Gurley money. Well then.

I dont think anyone knows how much GTD was offered but there is a huge gap there

[Castiron]

I hear Zeke wants $15 mil per. Ouch.

Oh is it that time again?

Apparently Every Day Should be Saturday is ending. That makes me sad. Probably one of the better reads for college football.

I can't believe Andrew Luck retired!

[steelers_pens_fan]

The Colts deserve about 20 years of suck for destroying that man's career. And Irsay and Grigson should be thrown into a volcano. Too bad for Reich and Ballard. Brissett is a good backup but there is a definite dropoff there.

The Lions have their starting MLB and C injured to start the year. Fun!

To make it even better they gave Matt Millen the Michigan opener broadcast. Again. Do the people in charge think the state of Michigan likes him? I mean I'm happy he's healthy enough, but I don't want to hear a Penn State and Raider player who destroyed the Lions announce a game for a team that's an hour from Ford Field. Give him the Penn State opener or something you whack jobs. He was born there, lives there, and went there. It's like somebody gave them an ordered list of best fits for him to announce and they read it upside down.

Edit: Did NOT see that Luck retirement coming BTW. So reminiscent of guys like Barry and Calvin retiring.

The Lions released Zach Zenner. My dream of seeing a Lions offense purely made of white people goes down the drain. I was hoping to see a goal line play with ZZ at RB, Nick Bawden at FB, Jesse James, Hockenson, and Logan Thomas at TE. Decker, Glasgow, Ragnow, Dahl, Wagner on OL and Stafford at QB.

I wonder if he comes back after a year away.

I thought Zenner was a pretty good player.

Rumor is that they dropped him to go thin at RB to fill in at LB due to the Davis injury. I assume he either ends up on another team or back with the Lions in a few weeks.

I was under the impression the Davis injury wasn't that serious?

Davis is a high ankle sprain. Probably missing a few weeks. Ragnow also got hurt, but his is described as a minor sprain so probably a shorter time out or may not miss anything.

That sounds about right.

It's bs that Zeke is gonna hold out into the season. Kid is getting some bad advice imo.
