Predict the 2014 Off-Season "Big Story"

[Moderator 3]

Every year there's something that captures the media's attention and we get bombarded with it for months. We've had years of "Will Favre retire", we've had deaths, last year we had an active player arrested for murder. What's it going to be this year?

[Moderator 3]

Oh, names and teams are not necessary...just the big story.

[T3hRaven]

Aaron Rodgers is going to come out of the closet.

[bpytnjr58]

Johnny Football hits mini camps in Cleveland.

Aaron Rodgers is going to come out of the closet.

curious as to why Rodgers?

[T3hRaven]

Johnny Football hits mini camps in Cleveland.

 

If by hits mini camps you mean runs into the Cleveland practice facility with his car and gets a DUI, then yes.

 

curious as to why Rodgers?

 

It was mostly a joke, there were numerous rumors about him being gay during the season.  I don't think he is, I think he used to date Erin Andrews, but I do think we might have our first openly gay player.  It seemed like we were really close to having one last off-season.  It would be nice if someone like Rodgers came out for a few years, even if they're not really gay, because it's going to take a big name player with talent that can't be replaced to tear down that barrier.

That is possible....I did not specify!

Richard Sherman would be the ultimate on this closet topic.

How about a coach gets busted for porn?

[MissK528]

Don't know why, but I'm going with vehicular manslaughter, or a player dying in their own drunk-driving incident. 

 

On a far lighter note, I'll also go with the "will Manziel be a bust" conversation. I kinda feel like he's the far less mature Tebow.

[T3hRaven]

Jim Harbaugh having an aneurysm might be more likely.

[berad]

How about a coach gets busted for porn?

 

Been there, done that lol

porn as in? It's no crime or anything to be ashamed of to watch porn, unless your talking about something bordering illegal here, that's different

Yeah. Can you imagine a head coach getting busted for child porn?

[Gordo52]

Been there, done that lol

Immediately what I thought of lmao

[Gordo52]

Russell Wilson holds out for a new contract

Or

News comes out that while in New York, Mobsters approached Peyton Manning and forced him to blow the game or they'd re break his neck.

[cursona pirate]

For reals guesses: 

 

M.Vick goes to the Bills or Jaguars as a backup or maybe starter. 

Cardinals get a big name wr for Palmer.

We sign Jacoby and release Leach or vice versa and everyone gets mad or something

 

Crazy guesses:

Jim Hardbaugh trades back Boldin for a 7th round pick to Ravens but Mason returns to Ravens for free and Ozzie can't resist the value. Therefore Boldin goes on strike and is traded back to 49ers for a 6th round pick.

 

Tucker learns to kick the football backwards and is better than before.

 

Flacco sees Robocop and is inspired to become a cop and retires. Tyrod Taylor steps in and breaks leg in skateboard accident. We draft a new QB and he is so good. but with get Brett Favre to start instead.

 

Tom Brady gets a 2nd wife (Peytons former wife)

 

Tony Romo is injured sky diving and the CowBoys get Russel Wilson for 618 million a year for 3 years

[Gordo52]

Bold prediction: Andrew Luck and/or Andy Dalton/Sam Bradford/Christian Ponder will get a DUI this offseason.

It will be known as the offseason of "Bad boy QB'z"

Lmao. Really, you can see the other ones!?

That's why I said bold though. Andrew will be exposed as an alcoholic and miss half the season.

RG3 goes to a Kenny Chesney concert, makes some offensive remarks, checks himself into "rehab".

Well, mainly Dalton. I don't like Dalton

[Gordo52]

Yeah but imagining him being drunk --- period, is hilarious to me.

*gets in truck*

*immediately reverses into parked car*

*gets out throwing up*

*2 Smirnoff wine coolers fall out*

.....

*one is still half full*

Oh wait this is an easy one, but Gronk is going to catch some flack for a picture/video taken of him still being a frat boy.  What was his injury again?  Any chance of keg stands with a cast?
