2014 NFL Season

so it's really only a one year $18M deal, which looks better if the team stretches it out to two years, $25M.

$12.5M is not too-too bad, for Dalton.

[Electromatic]

Yeah that's a pretty good bump and it seems fair really

I agree, excellent deal for the Bengals. They're really only committed to him for two years now instead of one. If he stinks it up this year, the Bengals can draft/sign a QB to compete and then cut him after 2015 if they so choose with hardly much damage done.

Truth.

Well, that takes care of that. Will be eager to see the details.

Why does Adam Schefter's Twitter avatar look like an offensive Asian caricature?

I thought I saw this comment somewhere else today, and indeed:

Are you a Rush fan in addition to the Seahawks?

Yeah, that was me on Deadspin too. I'm a Rush fan - not a diehard or anything - but the 2112 was just a new spin on the "12" thing.

Anyway, here's your answer:

About a month ago, ESPN sent me the caricature that is my current Avi. They will be using it on their fantasy football app. It’s a funny head shot, different, a dramatic improvement over my real every day appearance. So I figured it was about time to bench the US World Cup soccer jersey and start getting ready for football.

There won't be a better quote this football season.

I'm looking forward to the Cowboys being terrible this year.

I dunno, I've gotten pretty used to the whole "find new, inventive ways to lose close games" and "get eliminated on national TV by a division rival on the NFL's last regular season game with an 8-8 record" modus operandi that the Cowboys have been running under in recent years.

From Business Insider:
Toyota has a sponsorship partnership with the 49ers and for the pre-season there's this thing called the Toyota Red Zone. The result is ads like this:



You know this type of marketing will be a regular thing a few seasons down the road.

Ugh if they start filling in the field with ads, combined with all the ads they show (11 mins of play time vs. 3.5 hrs real time) I just may find other things to do on Sun.
