Happy February, my friend. Hope you had yourself a wild weekend, because the NFL tried its damned best despite not even being in action -- you know, outside of a virtual Pro Bowl. Speaking of which, here's to hoping you had a better weekend than . Going from living in Los Angeles and playing for a contender to living in and being stuck with the ? I've had some horrible Sunday hangovers, but I can't imagine the pain that would come waking up after that Saturday night experience.We'll get to that blockbuster trade and more in just a second here, but I also want to point out that today is a day for celebration not just because it's the start of Super Bowl week ... but Sione Takitaki Jersey it's also . I wish I could say it was fun but, alas, it was not. I absolutely cannot wait to unleash hell on my poor deprived body today. How early is too early to dive head-first into a cheeseburger and some cheap beer?

Moving forward, in its place will be "the best thing from last night/this weekend."Let's get on with it then. What you need to know 1. Matthew Stafford traded to Rams in blockbuster deal Matthew Stafford's time on the trade block was quite short (like me). The veteran quarterback got his wish and finally managed to escape the oppre sion of the Detroit Lions when ... and what a trade it was. The Rams sent Jared Goff, two first-round picks and a third-round pick to Detroit in the blockbuster deal. Stafford departs as the Lions' all-time leader in completions (3,898) pa sing yards (45,109), pa sing touchdowns (282), and quarterback wins (74) but didn't win a Kareem Hunt Jersey single playoff game (0-3) in his 12 years as Lions QBIt's the first time two No. 1 overall picks have been traded for each other in the common draft era, which dates back to 1967The Rams inherit the two years and $43 million remaining on Stafford's contract while Detroit will inherit the four years and $106.6 million remaining on Goff's deal If they don't recoup a first-rounder, the Rams are set to go seven consecutive seasons without making a first-round pick (2017-2023)It's hard not to feel like ( trade analysis from our Cody Benjamin in that link). The Rashard Higgins Jersey Rams made a significant upgrade at QB in an attempt to win right now, and the Lions got themselves a pretty nice haul for a guy who wanted out. I know Goff is not great (to put it kindly) and his contract stinks, but he provides a serviceable replacement for Stafford and he's got no guaranteed money left on his deal, so the Lions could just dump him after this year if they so choose.And those draft picks? That's the real selling point.But, again, Goff is absolutely the biggest loser here. He was in a primo position in a fantastic market, and now all that's gone in an instant because he couldn't throw the ball as well as he should've. The man must have a lot of regrets. But, hey, at least the real estate market is cheaper in Detroit?2. What the Stafford deal means for Deshaun Watson Not long after proce sing the news of the Stafford-for-Goff swap, my mind got to wondering: If a soon-to-be 33-year-old Stafford can command a starting QB, two firsts and a third ... what is a 25-year-old Deshaun Watson coming off a career year worth? Like, 12 first-round picks? OK, that might be a little extreme, but it's fair to ask how much this weekend's deal will affect the Watson trade rumors. but, uh, he's asked for a trade and they may get backed into a corner. The (relatively) good news is that and now the have even more leverage to ask for a huge haul.Our Cody Benjamin details :Benjamin: Also, it's worth remembering that Houston doesn't have a first- or second-round pick in this year's NFL Draft because Bill O'Brien did a great job of driving that bus straight off a cliff. Maybe the need for draft capital will help convince the new management to trade Watson. 3. MLB proposes delayed season to MLBPA Now it's time to discu s America's T. J. Carrie Jersey favorite pastime: Baseball owners and players arguing while Luckily, it seems like we're in a never-ending cycle of this fun game and now we've got a new development from the weekend.MLB has proposed a The season would be delayed one month and extended one week (March 28 for Spring Training, April 28 for Opening Day)There would be an expanded 14-team postseason (and likely universal DH) as part of the proposalIt sounds like that proposal would include a condensed season full of seven-inning double-headers, in case you were wondering how they'd delay the season a month and only extend one week. And if you're wondering why the owners would want to push back a month, consider this: Money. (It's always about money.)Delaying the season by a month increases the chances ballparks would be able to get fans in the stadium for games, thus giving the owners/teams some gate revenue. So, are players gonna bite? We'll have to wait and see, but this is basically the same proposal that the MLBPA rejected recently except it offers eight fewer games and a delayed start. And if we've learned anything over the past year, it's that nothing comes easy between these two sides.4. Patrick Reed, involved in rules controversy, wins at Torrey Pines We had ourselves an eventful (and somewhat controversial) Farmers Insurance Open this weekend at Torrey Pines. Patrick Reed took home the hardware yesterday by -- he finished -14, five strokes better than five others who tied at -9 -- but his victory didn't come without some of the frustrating nonsense that we've come to expect from Reed.On Saturday, Reed before picking it up and calling a rules official over to verifyReed got up and down for par from what would have Britton Colquitt Jersey been, and proba
