The Raven Knows!

By E.R.

As we head into the final official month of the 2017 season tons of trades, trade rumors, and other IFL happenings are starting to peak. This is an exciting time of year for the IFL as our league never slows down. Savvy owners know this, and have been working on improving their team through cutting cap, obtaining players, and acquiring draft picks. Continue reading Who Knows? The Raven Knows!

YEP, YOU’RE NOT A FOOTBALL PLAYER…BUT IF YOU WERE…

Welcome to an all new off-season set of articles from the Nest. Recently I posted the question: What NFL position do you identify with? And there were some fun responses. But I wouldn’t be THE El Raven if I just wrote it up the way YOU saw it. From a unique point of view, here is the first story in this series. Continue reading IFL MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION PRESENTS:

New GM Amnesty: Detroit Nate

Another team that has lacked direction from the jump.  From ‘Aol dial-up Mac’ to a guy who self-identifies as an Ewok…Detroit has been a backward-ass franchise forever.  Hope is high that Nate will be the answer that this city desperately needs.  Cleaning this city up is no simple task.  Russell came in, traded for garbage contracts like Watkins, campaigned for 4 QBs on active roster, signed Brett Hundley to a 4 year deal (presumably the reason behind the 4th QB spot), cut Brett Hundley and his 4 year contract, and then got chaffed hard from the league banter and decided to flee.

Needless to say, there is a lot of work to do to catch up with the NFC Champion in Chicago…hell there is a lot of work to do to catch up to where this team was when Mac quit his game of snake on his Nokia 1011 to thumb out some texts to the IFL about how his city is going to get a cell phone tower and high speed Internet soon.  The good news is that Nate is eager to get started and has so far been making some solid cuts to clean this mess up.   Continue reading New GM Amnesty: Detroit Nate

New GM Amnesty: Denver David

Denver is a unique case.  Normally when a team makes the playoffs two years straight, it doesn’t result in firings.  However another failed experiment in Denver leads to it’s 3rd GM in 3 years.  David is in a good spot with a team in the Chittay South West that is in decent shape thanks to the moves that the original owner made at the inception of the league.  Lewis since then fell off into the Lewis Zone and despite Marcus doing his best to make the team worse, they were still a playoff team in 2017.  (Both years they went 1 and done at the hands of Miami and Indy) Continue reading New GM Amnesty: Denver David
