It's getting to that time of year again where the merry-go-round starts up and coaches & GMs are fired, hired or kept on.
May as well make a thread to keep all the news in one place.
Berlin Station follows the story of Daniel Miller (Richard Armitage), who has just arrived at the CIA foreign station in Berlin, Germany. In season 1, Miller has a clandestine mission: to uncover the source of a leak who has supplied information to a now-famous whistleblower named Thomas Shaw...
Randy Moss and Ray Lewis will be locks. The other 3 that make it will be interesting.
I assume that TO is going to miss out again (even though he should have been in last year) as they seem to not like voting in players at the same position in a given year and the some in the media seem to...

The goal of this game/project/idea/whatever is to create a 53 man NFL roster using a salary cap and predetermined salary values assigned to each player according to a specific football philosophy of your choosing. Do you load up on offense or defense? Spend on the passing game or the running...
