I wonder if you can buy Beer and Beer Lite during Football Team games at the Stadium.

I refuse to believe Alex Smith is human. After seeing how they legitimately had to build him a new leg just so he can rehab it in the first place. This is unreal. Dude has a heart the size of Galactus.

That’s incredible. I’m surprised he can even walk after getting Thiesmanned. I figured that would at least be the end of his career.

Alex Smith is the cure for Covid.

No matter what subject matter there be some Stan ass fools that can’t see beyond the rush of a ‘tribal win’ to understand the bigger pictures in life.

What makes his recovery even more impressive is that Smith’s injury was worse than Joe’s.

God damn, I didn’t realize it was worse! I recall it being on an anniversary of Joe’s though, which was pretty ironic.

Alex almost died. His leg was badly infected. They had to do multiple surgeries. Alex’s wife had decided to amputate. Alex regained consciousness and chose to try to save his leg. If you’ve got a strong stomach, watch the ESPN special. I thought it was just like Theismann’s until I watched it.

Dang, I didn’t know all that. Is he going back to play for the Skins?

Yeah, they never cut him.

I would actually love it if he won a Superbowl with them as the Football Team.

Yo!!! The Jets just robbed the Seahawks.

I was just able to read the compensation and yea the Jets won this trade “on paper” easy. Bradley Mcdougald is a solid just above average Safety himself and to also get 2 other first and a third for real is robbery. I get the Seahawks trying to go “all-in” but this was costly.

It is a lot but if they can have him on lock for a few years along with Russell Wilson they have a very good team.

It’s a lot, but I don’t think it’s a robbery. That’s pretty much the going rate for a top line secondary player in his prime these days and apparently there was legitimate competition for trade partners.

Most teams don’t pay safeties left alone give up two 1st Round Picks and a solid starter for one.

Most teams aren’t notoriously bad drafting the First Round either.

If you can’t draft in the First Round worth a damn then keeping them does nothing for you anyway.

Safeties are also the most underappreciated position on the Defense for some reason I cannot fathom. A great safety can shore up a defense for years and they don’t fall off a cliff nearly as hard as a top flight CB.

Fair point. We still haven’t been able to fill Sean Taylor’s position…
