This a brand new stadium that hasn't even had a game or a fan in it yet

For the Chargers no fans will only mean the visiting team's fans won't outnumber their own for once.

My prediction is that the Patriots will go to the Super Bowl this year and they will soundly beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their seventh Lombardi Trophy.

I almost hope that it doesn't happen because I probably wouldn't survive the excitement.

Timing coincidence, I am moving into a new house and was unpacking yesterday. Came across a box of vintage jerseys, autographed pictures, a stein engraved with the names of all the 70s and 80s Raider greats, and my copy of Blanda: Alive and Kicking I had when I was 14. Got it autographed at a Houston Oilers game, Blanda, Madden, Brown, Lamonica, Biletnikoff, Stabler, Tatum, Siani, all autographed it.

Threw it all in the trash. "Screw" the NFL.

Your nose is getting bigger Neal

George Blanda was one of the greatest football players of all time.

He could run, pass, kick field goals and even quick kick on 3rd and long

George Blanda
George Blanda was the oldest player in the history of the NFL.
He retired at the age of 48, just short of his 49th birthday.

George Blanda played pro football for 26 seasons – longer than any other person.
However, he'll probably be remembered best for his 1970 season with the Oakland Raiders.

Onkel Neal · 08-26-20, 10:27 AM

I know who Blanda was. He retired the year before the Raiders won their first Super Bowl, your point is?

Don't throw any memorabilia away ... it could be worth a lot of money

plus George Blanda played for the Houston Oilers too you know for one of the greatest coaches of all time Sid Gilman who was also Blanda's coach when they were in Chicago for the Bears.

mapuc · 08-26-20, 10:59 AM

Some of the teams in this NFL 20/21 season will win this trophy.

I have a little, little hope it will be the Da Bears..I have a feeling though they will not even manage to get into the (forgot the word)

Yes, I know Blanda and his history thoroughly. Did you know he didn't like overalls and micky mouse lunchboxes?

Hey Neal the next time you find some valuable NFL memorabilia send it to me and i'll get rid of it for you...

Meanwhile in pleasant New England...

Word is that if you want to beat Newton to Gillette Stadium, you have to arrive well before the sun rises. Such a motivated approach, coupled with the well-advertised energy he brings to the field, have created a spark inside team headquarters and positioned him as a leader.
"He has the juice every day," Patriots' third-year cornerback J.C. Jackson said. "That's what we need.""Every day he comes in with a lot of juice and gets guys going," third-year tight end Ryan Izzo added.
As for where Newton stands with learning the system, quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch said the "leaps he's been taking each day have been really impressive" considering the "huge foundational gap" working against Newton in a new offense.
Fisch, too, has taken note of how Newton has helped set a tone.
"Cam has a great energy about him and is one of those personalities that is infectious," Fisch said. "He's come in every day with an excitement to work."
Now is the time for Newton to make his decisive move for the starting job. One point coach Bill Belichick made is that last week was set up as a review for players, so coaches feel like everyone has been given a fair chance as they begin a string of five straight practices Sunday.
The competition now rises, and the expectation among many who have watched him closely over the last few weeks is that Newton will, too.
