    Saquon Barkley tweaked his hamstring at practice today, heavily wrapped, seen limping around.

    The guy had legs like Cespedes.

    I could see this lingering/recurring for a very long time.

    So glad they passed on Sam.

    Just saw that the NFLN for week 2 preseason will televise the Browns vs Bills on Friday night. Get the Jets with Darnold on Thursday. Then Friday night get to watch Mayfield and Allen.

    As much as I object to caring about preseason under any circumstances, that's actually some pretty good viewing for mid-August.

    They really are featuring the top rookie QBs this preseason on the televised games. I have only watched the Jets, but I've been interested in the other games and tried to watch highlights, which is more than I usually do.

    I absolutely agree.

    I had a bad hamstring pull and that muscle group has never been the same.

    Ben Roethlisberger suffered a possible concussion on a hit in practice. Apparently he ran into a teammate who was blocking someone in a 7-on-7 drill, fell down, and stayed down holding his head.

    https://nypost.com/2018/08/14/roethlisberger-exits-practice-early-with-possible-concussion/

    From the description it sounded pretty minor to result in him getting that hurt, which suggests that he might be in the mode where it doesn't take a big hit to knock him out of the game. If that's the case his career will be over soon.

    Of course, an injury from a hit to a starting QB in practice demands the following video:

    Not knowing anything about baseball, I assumed Cespedes was the Greek god of bad legs. I don’t know what I did before Wikipedia.

    You don’t really need a reason to post that clip.

    He not only talked him up, but lied about reports of him being good at the senior bowl. I called his useless troll ass out about it and he ran and hid like the little pussy he is.

    Who knows. Maybe he really liked the kid. Drafted 6th round. If he turns into the next Tom Brady dude will have bragging rights forever.

    I don't know if he's a troll or not but as a longtime poster of JI (many of years ago) I do know that PatsFanTx was the biggest one I ever seen. I wonder what happened to that guy? Idk but one time I accused Sooth of being PatsFanTx in order to boost his site traffic and was banned for life. And still believe so. PatsFanTx was literally untouchable and not even those mods could ban him. Was just a weird situation I'm glad TGG isn't ran like that.

    Liking a player is fine and all. Its when he said there are reports of him lighting up the senior bowl and I asked him where and he responded

    "Scott Wright from Nfldraftcoutdown.com

    I have played the position before. I guarantee Tanner has a better career than Baker the Bust."

    I went to NFL draft countdown and read all the senior bowl reports and no mention of Tanner Lee doing well. He's a troll and nothing more.

    Sam Darnold and our Jets tonight .

    Baker Mayfield/Josh Allen & the Browns vs. Bills tomorrow night.

    I've never been this excited for preseason football.

    Anyone watching the Bills-Browns game? Buffalo looks awful.

    Watching Giants/Detroit. Bills/Browns not on here.

    EDIT: Never mind. I just found it on NFLN. Will watch this and flick back and forth.

    Did Allen just say Jill Jill! Jill Jill! My hearing sucks. It was Kill Kill. Josh Allen just got drilled. There's a poem in there somewhere.

    You almost gotta go for a guy named Boddy-Calhoun. Tied 7 - 7.

    Allen looked good on that drive and capped it off with a TD pass. Bills and Browns tied at 7.

    AJ Mac was dreadful. Allen looked ok but he did lead a 15 play 8 min drive with a nice elusive move on a guy coming right at him, and got the TD on a nice throw. Baker is in now for the Browns.
