Well we knew it was coming but Tom Brady is first team All-Decade QB two decades in a row.

Nobody’s beating THAT record!

Anyone want to argue Gilmore over Sherman? Sherman’s played more games in the decade but doesn’t have a DPOTY award.

Kind of a bummer that they didn't include a category for "special teams player" ... to see who would join Slater

I read this post before seeing the players on the list and had to double check who Brown was.

Oh. Right. That guy.

I'm still bitter.

I mean, it's an absolute stretch ... almost as bad as counting Rollie Fingers as a HoFer who spent time in a Red Sox uniform ... but technically correct is still correct

I get that, but I was thinking in terms of juggling multiple phones, etc. by yourself since there will only be one person per location.
true, but i suspect teams will be in video conferencing situations with there war room folks

Is 3 phones enough?

Does that account for how many will be thrown LOL. I'm just trying to picture BB trying to manipulate the draft board trying to juggle multiple phones. I so want "war room" cams now.

Have to think that in a way this helps the Pats to a slight degree given how small their war room is. I would also think that the Krafts will do whatever they need to do to make the process as smooth as possible for BB& team. But that may just be Pats colored glasses.

What round do we think the Jets try to draft someone who's already been taken, like that one guy in fantasy drafts does? 3rd? 4th?

The jersey hype videos are so generic.

These jobbers look like they’re taking their new uniforms for a spin on Space Mountain.

They're getting killed over this.

The Bucs did ok IMO. Could have done a lot worse.

And of course the Rams new logo is also a disaster.

It shouldn't be this hard.

Very curious to see what the Pats tweaks are.

If it involves a red alternate, I'm in.
Rumors are "tweak" as opposed to "new uni" so I'm skeptical of a red alternate.

We've also heard rumors that the one-shell rule may go away in 2021, which could mean a return to the throwbacks.

Interestingly this is an official Nike product, although probably just a fashion jersey

Those were a rehash of what they previously had, so that's different. Anytime net new change is introduced, Twitter shits on it because people don't like change and Twitter is basically an open mic night at a shitty bar.

I don't disagree, but some of the recent NFL changes have been absolutely horrible. Falcons. Rams. Browns a couple years ago. The Jets last year was a complete abomination. There are truly some awful uniforms being produced.

I'm not a uni snob. I kind of liked what Oregon was doing when they started doing it. I thought the Seahawks neon green jerseys were kind of cool. But the recent NFL unis have been really, really bad.
