Dude needs help. Like all jokes aside, serious professional help. If you're throwing away millions because you can't let go of certain habits, something is up. Look at Aldon Smith.., dude was a generational talent and threw it all away because he liked the drink too much.
I think when it reaches the point you throw away everything you no longer "like to drink" but you've become dependent on it, and it now runs your life. Also see Gordon. Josh

Word. Understated that one a bit. I get so sad thinking of my dude Aldon... was legit my favorite athlete after his monster second season. Then it all went downhill, and downhill FAST.

Well, that's a pretty big deal. He might go #1 overall.

Sources say the Steelers are setting the parameters that they will not trade Antonio Brown to either the New England Patriots or anyone in the AFC North Pittsburgh still considering themselves a threat to New England after missing the Playoffs, losing their #1 reciever, AND with Big Ben nearing the end of his time is...having a lot of faith in yourself, to the say the least. Even if not necessarily warranted, lmao. It's not that crazy to think they can contend. They *should* get a nice return for Brown.. A first rounder from a team like Oakland or Green Bay is very much a possibility. They'll definitely need another receiver. Juju is good enough at this point to be a #1, but after that there's not much. James Washington showed some potential, but I wouldn't want him as the #2 yet. If they draft for help in the secondary first and then pick up a receiver with their second or third (or another first) round picks they'll be alright. The rest of the team is solid. All that said, I'm never picking them to beat New England in the playoffs. Anyway, if I'm Oakland I'm absolutely offering one of my 3 (!!!) first rounders for AB. Some people say it wouldn't be a good idea since they're not close to contending, but that's bullshit. A *lot* can change from season to season, especially with arguably the best receiver in the league and two first round draft picks. Derek Carr had nobody but Jared Cook to throw to last year. If you think he's your guy, you have to give him weapons. Go defense with the other two picks. *Hit on those, and you could have a pretty solid squad. * - I know there's the possibility that Gruden is awful and would f*** everything up.

At the very least, that means he won't be in the MNF booth anymore. ESPN tried to replicate the success CBS had with Tony Romo with one of his teammates and it backfired tremendously. He was awful on commentary, especially compared to Romo who has been, quite frankly, brilliant.
Though that still, unfortunately, leaves the other two schmoes in the MNF booth. Witten sucked on commentary but so did his partners.

Jason Witten is coming outta retirement and back to Dallas He can't be much worse on the field in 2019 than he was in the booth in 2018. Also, I really hope this doesn't open the door for Booger McFarland to be the lead color commentator on Monday Night Football. ESPN has such a deep and talented roster of football minds across their various programs and networks, I don't understand the infatuation with McFarland, whose lackluster debut season on MNF was overshadowed by Witten's incredible failure in the broadcast booth. I can live with another season of Joe Tessitore on play-by-play. He's not my cup of tea, but he's not gratingly awful, either. I just think ESPN could look to their current cast of personalities to find a better lead color commentator. Louis Riddick would be my first choice, but I'd also be alright with Matt Hasselbeck or Randy Moss, or bringing Trent Dilfer back to the Worldwide Leader.

The Jets are only doing it because the Colts burned them last year trading the exact same pick and they want to try and recoup their losses.

Yeah, Booger is just terrible and I didn't like Tessitore either, though at least he had experience in the booth as play-by-play guy. Probably what helped a lot with Romo easing into things is that he had a real pro with Jim Nantz as his broadcast partner. Witten didn't have as good a safety net, especially with Booger stinking up the joint.
I'd love to see Randy Moss or Louis Riddick take Witten's place. And just get McFarland out of there entirely. Matt Hasselbeck would also be a good choice as he's way more interesting to listen to than his brother.

Seriously, Booger's gimmick is "Look at him eat!" When they decided to dump the college coaches who had experience in understanding analytics (which is something sports nerds would want to listen to) and replaced that with the MNF crew, who had little interest in the college game for the CFB Championship, I was just floored at how awful the crew was. Monday Night Football has had terrible crews over the years (hello Dennis Miller & Dan Fouts), but the 2018 A-team (anyone who does the less popular of the Week 1 doubleheader is going to be awful by default) has to be the worst I've seen.

I'm fine with that
Jets need more than just one pick and could get a good haul for someone who is needy for a QB BUT they could also use the pick there as well

The Jets are only doing it because the Colts burned them last year trading the exact same pick and they want to try and recoup their losses. I don't know about them being burned. The reality is that deal worked out pretty well for both teams. The Colts still got to draft the guy they were going to draft anyways, got to draft another starter (Braden Smith), and got the #34 pick this year. The Jets got to ensure they got to ensure that they did not get leapfrogged for the QB they thought could be their franchise player. Indy was likely to trade down given the circumstances. Buffalo and Arizona were both looking to trade up to get a QB (both did, actually), there was no guarantee that the Broncos would not draft a QB and use Keenum as a bridge, and the Ravens did wind up doing a lot of trading to get 2 first round picks to get a QB themselves. Any one of those teams could have offered the Colts a better trade had the Jets not gone bold like that. As far as the Jets trading back this year, I would be open to it too. No one is trading up to take a defensive player or OL no matter how tempting the player is. They would trade up to get a QB, which means that any trade partner would be just as willing as they were last year to go big with an offer. What's more, just like the Colts they might wind up getting to pick the guy they want anyways. They still should be able to draft a top OL player (something they should invest in) regardless of which QB-needy team they trade with plus more. Let's say they trade with Miami. The only way the Dolphins can offer a better deal than the teams ahead of them is to offer next year's R1 as well, which will probably be high because they will be a rebuilding team starting a rookie QB. That usually means your team struggles (2012 Colts notwithstanding). The same could be said of the Redskins, though that trade would be less attractive to the Jets because, just like the season they had RG3 as a rookie, they started with many more good returning players than the Colts did (Grigson nuked the 2011 roster hard).
