Huh, Giants went with Barkley instead of a Manning heir. Browns decided that Baker Mayfield is the guy whose career they want to ruin. Wonder if the Broncos will go with Rosen, but Allen is a much more typical Elway pick

They got Chubb. Good pick I guess? I thought they should have gone for a QB but I think the Browns reaching for Ward makes this a good "best player available" pick.
Let's take this time to remember and laugh at the Jets again for giving up three first/second round picks to draft up for a QB when none of the teams they passed even took a QB ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm getting a little sick of the "Vegas is the first expansion team in history to __________" circlejerk. Yeah we get it, they're good and it's their first season. I don't like or dislike the caps but they really really really really really need to get that monkey off their back and beat the goddamn penglings. Anyway the Vikings are probably gonna draft that UTEP guy. If they do I hope he turns out to be good at football ... Copied to Clipboard!

They've continued to exceed expectations so far, so I don't really mind all that. They swept the first round and they're up 4-0 in the first period of their first game of the second round. Once they get eliminated we'll probably stop hearing about it shortly after. Of course, if they win it all, there might be no end to it, but it would be one of the most surprising championship runs in the history of the big four

They made good personnel decisions and had some good luck with the Pens goalies. I don't really know much about it but I saw it in Facebook comments so I must be right with the expansion rules.
Idk, I feel like new teams should have to suck so their fans can prove they want a team. It feels wrong for an expansion team to instantly be great. They should have to suffer through many years of sucking. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I saw the Brad Marchand story. I know that some hockey players like to be pests but I don't understand kissing and licking other players, that's just weird. Also that would be sexual assault but I guess you can get away with it in a sports game just like they get away with regular assault
