Breaking NFL News

Favre to Vikings...2 year deal

Thank God this is over...now sports fans can move on with their lives and ESPN can focus on other NFL stories (besides where Vick and Favre will end up)

2 year deal eh. Now im going to have to change my rosters on Madden 10.

Yep. Everyone should have known he was still coming. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that he bought a house in Minn.

Couldn't you at least make a link about it. Sheesh.Wilfred_Owen

There is a sports forum you know.Maqda7

Any news on what the Steelers are doing? SKY sports news doesnt show anything from the NFL. Its all build up to the new Premier league season.

Ugh. Why won't he just stay retired? I hate it when players do this, it's ridiculous.

[QUOTE="Wilfred_Owen"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] When I said breaking news that meant no link yet...it was on ESPN radio...not website yet (at the time I posted it and yes I checked) So I broke the news to yall before there was a link and you complain...good job on that onerawsavon

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Wilfred_Owen"] Apparently you lack google skills? I posted two minutes after you made the topic and found an article that was put up 7 minutes before at 11:15. According the internet clocks. So yea......Pirate700

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] I only trust espn for my sports news The other sites...yahoo, nbc, and especially fox jump the gun on sports stories all the time, post "rumors" as facts They are playing catch up, ESPN has the best insiders, they get it right, and can afford to wait till things are confirmed before posting So ya, I could have googled and trusted some other site, but I go with the best...and they broke it, but did not have a link yetrawsavon

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]You know there is NFL.com...right? :|

Favre is hilarious he just don't know when to quit.

[QUOTE="dodgerblue13"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] Accurate news...But VERY biased...the whole owned by the NFL thing -I will watch the games they put on -but they always have their "spin" on stuff like Roger Goodell's decisions...so i just ignore their news postings -they are like watching Fox news...accurate but with major spinPirate700

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]You know there is NFL.com...right? :|

dodgerblue13

No, They DO have bias...just less than NFL.com

Fox, yahoo, cbs, nbc just seem to make up stuff all the time that is not even true...like they take the rumors section off ESPN backpage and make it real news

ESPN is biased (taking playmakers off the air for example)

But they have the best beat writers...Chris Mortenson, Ed Werder and Sal Palentonio for what I watch for (NFC East)

They just seem to be the least biased...the lesser of two evils

Gah, that just means we gotta hear about this crap next summer...tbone29

Exactly what I was thinking...I got tired of this act years ago.

[QUOTE="dodgerblue13"] You can't make the case that ESPN has no bias...rawsavon

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Seriously, ESPN is known as BSPN for a reason. They make up everything and are biased as all hell.

Those work for this particular issue...Because this STORY IS SO BIG they have to be accurate

But I have seen that Fox, CBS, NBC generally report more rumors as true and report more outlandish things as rumors....things that have no chance of being true

Like I said about NFL.com...way too biased...would you go to walmart.com for investment advice on them or a financial site

Not saying ESPN is perfect, just best of the bad

-I like lots of their beat writers and think they try to report accuratly

BTW, I actually like Jay Glazer...he seems to be the only one outside of ESPN with REAL connections to players to get inside stories

To be honest, I do not really consider Newspapers anymore...they are about to die out...I am sure they are accurate (maybe the most, I don't know)...I just don't think about them anymore for news...like most people (as seen in dwindling subscriptions and readership and them cutting loose experienced writers like Tony Kornheiser from the Washington Post)

I just lol'd. This is getting sad. :P

Yep looks like I won't be watching ESPN for a few days.

Major newspapers still produce legitimate stories. Just because hard copy versions of the news have dwindled majorly doesn't mean their websites have taken a hit.

:o Look! Negative PR about the NFL...right on NFL.com!

NFLPA director Smith convinced players will be locked out in 2011

It's from the Associated Press. It's not written by the NFL and yet it's on the site.

Wasn't the Jet's deal a 2 year deal? Or am I mistaken? Either way, he will retire at the end of the year again, pull this same stuff in the offseason. He has done it every year for the last how many years? I hope he has a horrendous season and finally retires for good. I am tired of hearing about him.

I am well aware of that, and I didn't mean anything about guaranteed money or contracts. I'm just saying, wasn't it a 2 year deal last year, which he only played 1 year for? And then the Jets released him because he said he was going to retire, no?

I think it does have to do with player egos. They get the contract worth 10 mil, 15 mil a season and they are satisfied. I think it's quite hilarious. It's a good idea by the teams though, they get away with paying a lot less for the players.

I just brought up the Jets contract because someone mentioned about how we wouldnt have to listen to this next season because it is supposedly a 2 year contract, but I think the same thing will happen next year.
