| Sutton was a rare misstep by Brad Holmes. Given the Lions’ commitment to character guys I am not surprised that they released him. The cap hit sucks, but they should eventually be able to have most of the impact negated since he seems to have violated the league’s personal conduct policy. Sutton was basically a CB2 who Detroit thought could fill the role of a CB1. It does mean they will be looking for secondary help in the draft, which was probably already in the plan anyway. Honestly, I figured if Sutton played next season like he played last season he would be gone at the end of next year anyway. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| I had some weird dreams last night of me throwing a tantrum while trying to watch the 24-25 NFL season. Anyone else disappointed in the rule changes? | ||

| @flanders I think the kickoff rule could be interesting. I am looking forward to seeing how it plays out in preseason. It definitely provides another wrinkle. Plus, touchbacks have never really excited me. I am a little sick of them finding new ways to penalize players for tackling. Football is a violent game. Injuries are part of the game and the players are very well paid for the risks they take. I think an interesting exercise is to go back and look at the highlight reel of a guy like Ronnie Lott, arguably the greatest player ever to play his position. In today’s game virtually every tackle he made would be a penalty, fine or suspension! If the league really cared about player safety, they would mandate natural grass fields, which would likely reduce injuries far more than another stupid tackling penalty. But you will never see that because it would cost them money. So do they really care about player safety or do they care about appearing to care about player safety as long as it doesn’t cost them? | ||

| I was hoping they would change when a fumble on the field goes out of bounds in the endzone it results in a touchback. But alas, it's not meant to be this year. | ||

| Vikings fans I saw a mock draft show where the Cardinals trade Kyler Murray to to Vikings for thier 1st and 3rd and then draft J.J. McCarthy. Seems like a win win? | ||

| @Jesse_O I actually like the fumble out of the end zone rule. Yes, it sucks when it happens to your team, but it adds excitement and a potential game changing play. The Vikes seem poised to make a move in the draft to get a QB. No way do I see them settling for a retread like Kyler Murray. Not only does he have an injury history but his work ethic has been questioned in the past. There is buzz that the Commanders may take McCarthy at #2. Of course, any information that comes out a month ahead of the draft is probably just smoke. I do think there is a real chance we could see QBs going 1-4 this year (a first?), mainly due to desperation and partly due to the projected weakness of next year’s QB class. |

| The NFL may as well get rid of the kickoff at this point and move the starting field position back to the 20. The idea of getting 5 free yards for not competing needs to go away. | ||

Went out to my buddy’s today and scored a new shirt. He was to lazy and wouldn’t return a wrong size order to Jeff. |

| Atlanta going QB is the only real surprise so far. Well, that and there has been no defender selected in the first 10 picks. Congrats to @Jesse_O and the Vikings for getting their guy. | ||

| I am happy for JJ. We were surprised that he was not down there for the event being that he lives so close. | ||

| It looks like the Vikes traded up to 17 and got a great defensive player in Dallas Turner. That pleases me!!! | ||

| I would be pissed if I were a Falcon fan. Especially with the South being a weak division. They could have done more to help them now. | ||
