Welcome to the giddiness of the 2023 NFL Draft, as we bust your ear drums open with some banter of how we see the first bit of the draft going, and all the saucy news that will make up the hot gossip of trades around the week.
Buckle up!

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull dust off their other life, and hop back into the NFL saddle as the cobwebs are off to start 2023!

Aaron ‘Jet’ Rodgers

Well it’s official kids, Aaron Rodgers is finally following in the footsteps of Brett Favre and moving off to the Big Apple.
The deal is finally done in a swap of rounders and Woody goes ‘all in’ on hoping that the guru veteran take them to the playoff land.
For both teams it’s a chance to finally move on to the season with the Draft now a focus on how they are going to surround them.
Giving Rodgers a solid o-line and a big old tight end might be some of the keys that he needs.
Rodgers will once again be wearing his Golden Bear 8, perhaps trying to channel his inner youth in a cleanse to start over.
8 could also be the number of interceptions he throws in a game given his predecessors.
Given the move to a 17 week season, the alignment means that an NFC North and NFC battle zone could see a 25% chance of the Packers playing the Jets again this year. The Jets won in 2022, maybe they could do it again.

Tom Brady

Nothing. Who cares. Made you look.

Draft Drama

We all know that the draft brings with it the joy of seeing your team jiggle it up to prime for a new run, but it’s also that dirty drama drama that accompanies it.
What’s the deal with Derek Henry? Is Dalvin Cook going anywhere? Has everyone forgot about Lamar? Lamar is missing y’all!
With a bucket load of free agent talent out there, and not a lot of cash to back it up, could there be some people that have to suck it up for cheap?
Welcome to 2023.

Draft Picks

In some ways it feels like kind of a ‘meh’ draft, because there isn’t really anyone with ‘pizza-azzle’ to ignite a flurry of excitement.
That being said, in an injury prone league of increased play time, the more bodies the better.
Big, young, fat men with questionable diets lead the focus, as DE, OT, C’s and BLT’s are the hunger of many a GM.
Any why not? After seeing so many QB’s get smashed by inept lines of fourth stringers, and the knowledge that just one of these kids could change the whole dynamic of a line.
QBs will sill be the focus though, but the cost of living crisis has also made some cuts to the height of the top talent.
Woe is the short man in this new game, where the Tua’s and Kyler’s college shuffle didn’t translate to a league where smackdown and field vision are more prevalent.

International Games

Okay folks, the big news is only weeks away. Word is that we will get the announcement of the full NFL in London games on May 4th, 2023!  That’s right, cancel your plans that day, as we your world is about to change.
We will not only know who plays the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, and Jacksonville Jaguars, but also the dates.
We will NOT know anything about that though for a while. Please watch the NFLUK website for that, as they will have all the legit news.
Please make sure that you don’t buy any tickets online before the official news, as they are deffo a big scam.
Check out out socials. You have our permission. You can also touch them if you want.
It’s been a long offseason.

Robot NFL 2073

by

What could happen when you ask Chat GPTeasy for what a Robot NFL 2073 might look like and you get this.

Would you watch an NFL made up of robot players? Or will there be a league that challenges the dominance of the league with a rocket sock’em battle-bots of rocketry?

AI will know, let’s see how she does in what happens when you ask it what Robot NFL 2073 might look like for us all.

The National Football League, or NFL, is one of the most popular sports leagues in the world. It has evolved significantly since its inception in 1920, and the game of football has undergone many changes in terms of rules, equipment, and player safety. However, the future of the NFL could look very different from what we see today, with the possibility of robot players becoming a reality in the next 50 years.

Robot players could revolutionise the game of football, providing a safer, faster, and more entertaining experience for both players and fans. In this article, we’ll explore what the future of the NFL could look like with robot players, including possible team names, rule changes, and how the game might develop.

Possible Team Names

With robot players, NFL teams would have the opportunity to create new and unique team names that reflect the futuristic nature of the game. Here are some possible team names that could emerge:

  1. Cyberhawks
  2. Steel Titans
  3. Digital Warriors
  4. Machine Mavericks
  5. Tech Trojans

Rule Changes

Robot players would require a significant overhaul of the current NFL rulebook. Here are some possible rule changes that could be implemented to accommodate robot players:

  1. No more human players: Robot players would replace human players entirely, eliminating the risk of injury to human players.
  2. No more penalties for rough play: With no human players, there would be no need for penalties for rough play.
  3. Increased scoring opportunities: Robot players would be able to throw the ball with greater accuracy and power, resulting in more scoring opportunities for each team.
  4. Longer games: With robot players, games could be extended to allow for more action on the field.
  5. Fewer timeouts: With robot players, fewer timeouts would be needed, as the robots would not require rest or hydration breaks.

Game Development

With the implementation of robot players, the game of football could evolve significantly. Here are some possible developments that could occur:

  1. Greater emphasis on strategy: With robot players, coaches would need to develop new strategies to maximise the abilities of their robotic players.
  2. Faster and more exciting gameplay: Robot players would be able to run, pass, and tackle at lightning-fast speeds, resulting in a faster and more exciting game for fans.
  3. Increased fan engagement: The introduction of robot players would likely attract new fans to the game, resulting in increased fan engagement and revenue for the NFL.
  4. Improved player safety: Robot players would eliminate the risk of injury to human players, making the game safer overall.

Conclusion

The future of the NFL with robot players is a fascinating concept that could revolutionize the game of football as we know it. With the elimination of human players, the game could become safer and more exciting, with faster gameplay and increased scoring opportunities. While the implementation of robot players would require significant rule changes and adaptations, the potential benefits for the NFL are vast.

As we look to the future of the NFL, it’s exciting to imagine what the game could look like in 50 years with robot players. With new team names, rule changes, and game developments, the future of the NFL could be an entirely new and exciting experience for fans around the world.

So how does that cook your prediction of how the league will look?
AI comes up with some truly horrible names, as they have no idea how cruel and torturous humans can be when it comes to shaming when we feel indignant.
Or do they.
