The Awesome World of NFL 2020 NFL

Channel 5 in the UK showing Monday Night Football, midnight the 14th, with the Giants v Steelers. They seem to have bought some NFL TV rights.

Washington have released veteran running back Adrian Peterson

Adrian Peterson is signing with Detroit.

And Jadeveon Clowney is going to Tennessee

What a sweet deal. 12 grand a week to be on retainer basically. He gets to continue living at home so apart from having to continue working out nothing in his life changes.

Some fall for Josh Rosen, practice squad of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know it is a career move for him to try to fix his career but still....10th pick overall in 2018 to practice squad. I hope he turns things around.

5 years, $105m with $71m guaranteed for Jalen Ramsey. The Rams really dug themselves a hole by not extending him as part of the trade.

Funny thing is that the new contract for him is the reason why they'll end up under the cap (were $400k above).

Rams made a complete mess of their contracts since the Super Bowl. Goff way over the market for his skills and then moving on from Gurley and Cooks has cost them $33m in dead cap. Add big money for Donald and Ramsey, even if deserved, and trading away cheap draft picks has left them likely to struggle with depth for a while.

That's the final line-up for TV in the UK. The Tuesday night show on BBC showing the highlights seems to have gone, while Channel 5's live Monday Night Football will be in a US studio, whilst also having a magazine programme on a Sunday morning.

I liked that Tuesday night NFL show on BBC, it was a bit cringy and Jason Bell is annoying as feck but it was a decent run around the league. Presumably, most of us don't have time to follow it all on Sundays.

That said I never saw the point of two shows so I suppose it's a sort of consolidation

I thought Mark Chapman was growing into it very well. Fine recap show in MOTD format. I'm surprised it wasn't kept.

Good to be back and looking forward to the Thursday Night Football (or Friday Morning Football for us) game. It will be an interesting week of games, Tom Brady vs Drew Brees. Green Bay at Minnesota is a big one too. Just so excited to have football back!

A couple of bets up for the new season, Super Bowl 55 winner and Regular Season MVP.

I'll add OPOTY, DPOTY, OROTY, DROTY and CPOTY tomorrow.

Nice to see the Chiefs pick up where they left off. As if the offense didn't have enough weapons already, Clyde Edwards-Helaire is added to the mix and looks very good.

Very satisfying win and it was nice to have some real crowd noise (even if there was some booing pre-kick off).

Edwards-Helaire had quite the debut. The Chiefs offense is frightening.
