The vikings have signed Sam Bradford from the Eagles for a 2017 first round draft pick and another conditional draft pick  in 2018.

Eagles will be absolutely delighted with that. Bradford is awful.

Goff isn't even going to start the season as the Rams' backup. First number one QB pick not to start since Jamarcus.

Awful is maybe a bit strong gallsman, it wont be all on his shoulders, with Peterson & that D. Saw earlier that PFF actually had him graded slightly higher than Bridgewater last year

But yeah it was desperation stakes by the Vikings, I think the Browns own one of those Eagles 1st rounders too, from trading up to get Wentz in the draft.

[gallsman]

He's a bad QB and has been for years.

Bama already look frighteningly good after wiping USC off the map like they were a FCS team. Auburn almost caused an upset by taking #2 Clemson at home but their run to start the season is totally brutal and it looks very much like Malzahn's last season now after that incredible debut season. Playing three QBs in rotation is an absolute mess of a situation too.

Houston beating the Sooners (#3 going in) so convincingly means they have a real chance of crashing the play-offs from outside the power conferences. If the Big 12 don't add them now they will look like a laughing stock that's afraid of competition. The Houston market is so massive that a hot Houston team will do much to stabilize that conference's position. Definitely the story to watch this season.

Bears sign Josh Sitton on a 3 year, 25M deal (10M guaranteed).

Thought he would have got more guaranteed money but a very good pick up by the Bears

Looking to attend a Knicks game later in the year Is Stubhub the best way to go or are there better alternatives

Bears inexplicably have cut Robbie Gould to save $2.4M.

The best alternative is to not go and see the Knicks

I'm no expert on the basketball! Keen to watch a game even its the worst team in the league

The Nets will definitely be cheaper.
