sunday funday - april 14

​Welcome to the new, interactive Sunday Funday "column" (I hate when people call it that). Every Sunday, beginning at 9am EST I'll post 10ish headlines, stories, whatever that have been going around the NFL and elsewhere in the past week or so. At the top of the hour, every hour, all day. I'll start a tweet, maybe include a poll -- so this is the time to let your (un)solicited opinion shine! I'll post my thoughts on the situation here, and I want to hear yours for once! I'll post the best responses back on here, so check back. Here's your chance to argue in my mentions if you haven't already!

​Join the conversation...

1. Antonio Brown, slow down.

Antonio Brown has been going buck wild on social media, and frankly he needs a get back coach. I don't think this is an indicator of his future play for the Oakland Raiders, but you have to think they're worried about what will happen if he doesn't get what he wants there. I'm talking about Derek Carr. If he had problems with Ben Roethlisberger and getting the ball (aside from all the other drama), he's bound to have issues with Carr as well. He got what he wanted as far as the deal goes, he got out and all that, but what happens if he doesn't get the ball?

SUNDAY FUNDAY 1: Antonio Brown has been acting like a moron lately on social media — what the hell is he doing? If he doesn’t get what he wants in OAK should they be worried? https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

AB has proven to be one of tremendously weak character who has 0 hesitation in roasting the org, captains, teammates, and fan base. He’s a trash sports figure https://t.co/gK4jDs3XU2

— SportsAreKillingMe (@sportsjunkie410) April 14, 2019

Raiders should be more concerned that they're being run by color commentators.

— Max B (@OneMaxB) April 14, 2019

Idgaf how he acts. If he laces up and gets us 80 1200 and 10 tugs I’m good. That’s a low bar statistically for him. Should he tone it down a bit absolutely. Is he trash??? NO

— J-HO (@RaiderRapn) April 14, 2019

He just wants to be “the guy”, attention seeker kinda deal, seems like he going to extreme lengths for attention.

— tuggo (@star_tug) April 14, 2019

I think AB felt disrespected when the entire city fell in love with Juju and seemingly forgot about him. He's a guy who loves all the praise and attention. There isn't anyone in Oakland to steal his spotlight. When Ben blamed him for the Denver INT that was the last straw for him

— LPH (@danielray83) April 14, 2019

AB projects as someone with a very fragile ego who absorbs negative energy, but also a guy who gets filled up on love and positive energy. His Raiders career might hinge on the first couple of games as he can snowball either direction from there.

2. can jameis winston re-vamp his rep?

Tampa Bay Bucs QB Jameis Winston has done some stupid shit -- I'm not gonna go over all of it, but you know what I'm talking about. He has a chance to prove to the Bucs this year that he's changed and if he's done doing stupid shit. I think everyone should be given the opportunity to change -- you live and you learn and all that. I think he can do it if he has his head on straight, but does he? I think there's fair reason for doubt. Will he be the QB the Bucs thought he can be? Or will he do more stupid shit? Will distractions get in the way? Or is he just not good and it doesn't matter?

SUNDAY FUNDAY 2: Jameis Winston has done lots of stupid stuff and has a chance to prove he’s over that period in his life. So, will Winston do it? Or does it not matter? https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

— lindsey ok (@lindseyyok) April 14, 2019

I think if anyone can set him straight, its Bruce Arians. But this could be his last chance.

— Phil Burns (@FantasyPhill) April 14, 2019

he kinda fucked up, after 2016 bucs had a good shot to make to playoffs going into the season the once the 2017 season started all went downhill. Arians could be the guy to salvage his career but it may be too late.

— tuggo (@star_tug) April 14, 2019

I'm skeptical to believe he will, just because he has had opportunities in the past to move forward and he hasn't taken advantage. Regardless, he's done tons of damage to his career and reputation already, so I'm not sure what he can do to fix all of that.

— Garrett (@garrettp63) April 14, 2019

I don't believe so. He was starting to back in 2016 when they were contending for the playoffs. Even since than it was nothing but trouble for him. 3 game suspensions, altercation with Marcus Lattimore and haven't progressed at all. A little bit too late for him. https://t.co/QoIjdqsXzo

— Shermaine Peeples (@Shermaine_84) April 14, 2019

If anyone can help him get there it’s Arians.

Of course, I’m a season ticket holder for the team with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a starting QB so what do I know.

— Matt Armstrong (@MattArmstrong1) April 14, 2019

I think he’ll clean up his act, but I still think Arians and Licht draft an insurance plan. Winston has all the talent in the world and surrounded by enough of it to succeed. If he doesn’t do it this year, finances and frustration will show him the door in TPA.

3. johnny comeback?

Johnny Manziel still wants to play in the NFL, but he's been shunned from both the CFL and the now-tainted AAF, so will he ever show his face in the NFL again? Maybe he should go the Tim Tebow ​route and go play baseball? I'm not saying 100% no, because crazier things have happened (and teams would rather sign someone with multiple fuck-ups than someone who peacefully protests police brutality, for just a little example), but I think someone would have done it already. Teams are desperate but not that desperate.

SUNDAY FUNDAY 3: Johnny Football wants to come back to the NFL again, is it too late? Who would sign him at this point? https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

— lindsey ok (@lindseyyok) April 14, 2019

Personally, I would love to see Johnny Manziel back in the NFL. It would good for the NFL, since Manziel is very popular. Most likely as a backup tho, but I think the Washington Redskins should give him a chance. Not a believer in Case Keenum. https://t.co/hGPf0IZMGL

— Heel (@wwe__ziggler) April 14, 2019

The Ravens should sign him. They need a QB who throws.

— Phil Burns (@FantasyPhill) April 14, 2019

4. demarcus lawrence is underrated. that is all.

The Dallas Cowboys locked up DeMarcus Lawrence this past week, with a five-year, $105 million deal and $65 million guaranteed. They were smart to do so -- I think he's one of the most underrated defensive players in the entire NFL. 25 sacks, six forced fumbles and two interceptions (not his job) in just two seasons is literally insane.

SUNDAY FUNDAY 4: I will die on the hill that Demarcus Lawrence is underrated and the Cowboys made a huuuuge move in locking him in. Why is he so underrated and why isn’t anyone paying attention? https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

— lindsey ok (@lindseyyok) April 14, 2019

Coverage > pass rush as pass rush and pressure can be schemed more effectively. Philly and Pitt were top 5 in QB hits and sacks without an A+ pass rusher. But both mediocre in pass D due to poor coverage. 'Boys should have prioritized Byron Jones

— Don't follow me. (@Sockpuppeting1) April 14, 2019

It’s a good move by them, but they’re playing a game of salary cap Russian Roulette. Is he worth it, absolutely...but so is Zeke, Cooper (both have 5th year options), and Dak. It’s going to be interesting to see if/how they sign all of them AND continue to build around the core.

— EROCK (@TheMightyEROCK) April 14, 2019

Great question. Specifically to answer why no one is paying attention (media) would be because Jerry Jones, Elliot, Prescott, generally soak up all the national coverage. Defense just isn't an attention grabber, and the other side of the ball and ownership has constant drama.

— mattyb (@MatthewBoyd10) April 14, 2019

Skip Bayless made him overrated by calling him "DeMarcus Lawrence Taylor". The first 4 games of the season he had 5.5 sacks & then he disappeared the next 3 games. After the bye, he had 3 sacks in the first 4 games & then he disappeared the next 3 games. He's a bit inconsistent! https://t.co/FoQPuv93tO

5. Why does dwyane hASKINS' draft stock seem to be falling?

I'm admittedly not a "Draft Guru" and don't pretend to be one, so I don't really have a definite answer here. Enough teams need a quarterback, or could at least use one, so my question is -- is it because they have more glaring needs or is it something else? ​

SUNDAY FUNDAY 5: Dwayne Haskins — why does his stock seem to be slipping? Enough teams need a QB. Is it really slipping or nah? https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

— lindsey ok (@lindseyyok) April 14, 2019

Teams the the mid teens could possibly be leaking this negative stuff trying to make him fall. This time of year, you see a lot of smoke screen.

— Bengals NFL (@bengals_action) April 14, 2019

Heard a theory that Stephen A mistakenly labeling him a “running quarterback” drew increased attention to how unathletic he actually is and is causing his stock to slip

— Chance the Blattner (@ryan_blattner) April 14, 2019

People finally watched him play at Ohio state rather than gawking at the numbers and realized how much his production was a product of the pieces around him https://t.co/bHn13yYFlr

6. did kraft pay off this spa place?

I joked around about this on Twitter, but it really seems like it could be true. Did Robert Kraft pay off the spa he got jerked off in to say they weren't involved in trafficking? It definitely seems weird that there was all this evidence of it and it just magically disappeared into thin air? This is purely speculation here, by the way, I'm not accusing him of anything, but it just seems extra fishy.

SUNDAY FUNDAY 6: Did Robert Kraft pay off the spa? I made a joke about this the other day, but it’s entirely possible that he did. What do you think? https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

— lindsey ok (@lindseyyok) April 14, 2019

The cops totally botched that investigation, but I think it’s more possible that some influencers from the Far East told some of the girls there to change whatever they initially told the police

7. favre says green bay should have won more with rodgers/mccarthy duo.

I definitely see Brett Favre​'s reasoning here, but winning a Super Bowl is extremely hard to do, and the Packers have been absolutely decimated in injuries the past few seasons, and those are hard to predict. Aaron Rodgers remains the best quarterback in the NFL and will most likely continue to be until he retires, but it's fair to say Mike McCarthy could have held him back at times. I just think so much goes into winning a championship other than the quarterback and the coach.

SUNDAY FUNDAY 7: Brett Favre said the Packers should have won more Super Bowls with Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy. GB has been decimated by injuries so that’s kinda too hard to predict imo https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

— lindsey ok (@lindseyyok) April 14, 2019

They had no shot at winning either of the past 2 years even if fully healthy, but with Rodgers they should've had another between 2011 and 2016. No excuse for their management to fail to get him a defense.

— Trevor Kinney (@trevorlv31) April 14, 2019

How about we just talk about the irony of one of the best statistical QBs only winning 1 SB in like 20 years calling out somebody still playing for only winning 1 SB lmao

— Tito Snabitz (@briggzyy) April 14, 2019

Winning at least one more is a bit harsh because it is a toss up once you get there, but they definitely should have been in at least one or two more SBs with Aaron and Mike

— Pentagon902 (@Pentagon902) April 14, 2019

That NFCCG in Seattle will always be the one that got away

8. if the seahawks don't pay russell wilson, they are idiots.

I don't feel like I have to explain this any further, but my question is: What would be the reason why they would pass on paying ​Russell Wilson besides being complete idiots? Someone else is going to if y'all don't. You wanna lose forever or have a high chance of winning it all each season as long as you have Wilson? He gave Seattle until tomorrow to have a deal done, and there have been rumors that he wants to play somewhere else. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

SUNDAY FUNDAY 8: The deadline is tomorrow - What would be the reason why the Seahawks wouldn’t pay Russell Wilson (other than them being complete idiots)? Does he really want to play elsewhere? https://t.co/wa5wdvCemV

— lindsey ok (@lindseyyok) April 14, 2019

There is no reason for the Hawks to not make Wilson the highest paid QB. And with him trying to bring baseball to Portland can’t see him “wanting to play elsewhere”.

He’s a whiny diva who’s more interested in the next ridiculous show he can be on outside of football, BUT he’s still got oodles of talent. He’s gotta know the spotlight will be on him more than ever so when the ball comes his way he needs to make something happen. Now if it doesn’t get tossed his way then yes that could bring about some of that whining and they could be regretting their decision. The sneaky deciding factor is does he like PF Changs? Oodles of talent vs oodles of noodles and chicken lettuce wraps. Let’s see who wins come September
