After the first couple drives, Rush has been pretty bad.

I actually can answer that.

Way back in the day, they used to call every sport that is played on your feet (as opposed to on horseback) "football".

When the 1879 Red Legs reigned supreme

Wait, then why wasn't baseball called football.

No I think long before that, the middle ages or renaissance era if I remember correctly.

He's trash. Too scared to throw more than dump offs. I'd rather lose with Lance.

Maybe Salvation Army will ditch us for Detroit next Thanksgiving

 

[Bipo]

Totally refreshing if Fat Mike would have said Rush is a noodle armed pussy.

 

[ravidubey]

Beebe concussed

 

[Bipo]

When did booze's boy get hurt?

Good question. My guess is because football is derivative of rugby, which was also sometimes called football back in the day, and that has British origins.

Yep. At least Lance has probably not reached his ceiling yet. And can use his legs.

I just can't understand the thinking.

 

[NoDak]

Holy fuck. Rush threw the ball more than 5 yards.

Let's celebrate.

Turpin’s a free agent

How much would you be willing to pay to keep him?

He’s not gonna require much .. but he’s our only true speed guy..

WTF with this Zeke

 

[NoDak]

Yep. At least Lance has probably not reached his ceiling yet. And can use his legs.

I just can't understand the thinking.

Yeah. Chances are, he's nothing. But you never know. He's still young as hell, and doesn't have much experience. Maybe the light goes on for him and he can play. And another team actually would want to sign him as a FA, giving us a decent comp pick.

But we'll never know...

 

[Bipo]

2nd and Zeke

 

[Genghis Khan]

I think Dak used up his water allowance last week.
