2024 NFL Thread

apparently Lions WR Jameson Williams had himself a Mazi Smith gun carry incident in a traffic stop that happened weeks ago and media is just reporting about it now....he got off without an arrest. Doesn't mean the NFL can't suspend him for violation of conduct policy- especially since he seems to be a habitual offender.

This fucking kid keeps playing with fire....

According to the report, Williams was riding as a passenger in a vehicle driven by his brother when they were stopped after midnight. Police asked Williams' brother if there were any weapons in the vehicle, and he said there were two guns -- one in the back seat and one under Jameson Williams' passenger seat.
The gun in the back seat was registered to Williams' brother, who had a concealed pistol license. The gun under the passenger seat was registered to Jameson Williams, who did not have a concealed pistol license, according to the report. Jameson Williams, who repeatedly identified himself as a player for the Lions during the stop according to body camera audio, was handcuffed and put in the back of a police car.
"I feel that there was probable cause to arrest, and he was under arrest by the patrol officer," Detroit Police Commander Michael McGinnis told WXYZ-TV. "And because of that, he should have been conveyed to the Detroit Detention Center and processed."
However, a supervisor and later a sergeant arrived at the scene and Williams was released after the sergeant made several phone calls to higher-ranking officers to find out if Williams should be arrested or if the concealed pistol license belonging to his brother covered both guns. Finally, he made a call to a lieutenant, whose comments cannot be heard in the body camera audio, and Williams was taken out of handcuffs and let go. No report was written by police on the traffic stop, according to the report.

Why is this even a big deal?  Seems like one of those no harm, no foul things?  Is this guy known for his thuggery or something?  I know nothing about him.

Listening to even Jets commentators laughing about how amazing it is that Robert Salah is still losing games, tongue in cheek making fun of Aaron Rodgers.  Has there ever been a bigger waste of talent?  If he cared half as much about football as he did about weird ass science, like locking himself in a dark room for a cleanse, he could have been the greatest ever.  He had more talent in his pinky than either Brady or Manning had in their whole body, but they were football psychos, and the two highest IQ players of all time.  Rodgers would have retired years ago, except idiots kept throwing money at him

Rodgers is an idiot

Rodgers and the Jets finally won a game....

Rodgers and the Jets finally won a game....

Despite one of his receivers dropping the ball short of the goal line and the ball rolling out of the end zone for a touchback...

I had no idea why people were buying the Jets in the off-season.

Yeah that was a complete shit show play. I don’t understand these mf’s. Why are you dropping the ball to celebrate like a dickhead BEFORE you cross the plane. Rodgers should’ve cut that guy on the spot. 

I agree, no one should’ve bought the Jets off-season hype. Terrible coaching staff the team is sloppy makes tons of mistakes and not a cohesive united unit and Rodgers is a complete diva and the OL blows.

Why give such hot takes, when ESPN will pay you 7 figures to do so



Yeah, I don't get anything they are doing.  Rodgers was bad his last year in Green Bay, and he's 2 years and a torn achilles older.  I heard he has the longest streak of consecutive starts without throwing for over 300 yards since Byron Leftwich like 20 years ago.  It's been since 2021

rodgers sucks

Between him and Henry, pendulum might swing a little ways back towards paying too end RBs

Lions add ZaDarius Smith from Cleveland for just a 5th and a 6th, and appear to be the leader for Oljulari from NY.

Love it.  Don't give up the bag for Garrett, this team just needs a serviceable defense, and Smith is signed through next year, so they should have him and Hutch together.

I was all on board for sending the farm to try and get Crosby or Garrett, but I think you're right.

I have complete faith in Brad Holmes. Far and away the best GM ever in Detroit.
