    Aye, RIP Deacon Jones. You were one of the guys who I idolized as a kid when I was playing in high school. An amazing player.

    I do agree that home games are meant to be played at home, not some neutral site. However: I think that the Jags in particular are being subjected to that because of the new owner Shad Khan wanting to make football more popular worldwide. I know that I would dislike being a Jags fan over there, because my season tickets would have less meaning, it isn't really fair to those fans.

    It really isn't fair. I did lots of reading on stuff like that when I realized we played the Bills in Toronto.

    I swear there was more cheering for the Seahawks in that game... I mean...

    lol I hadn't seen that video while thinking of Bill's being on their "home" field, but you're right, that's some massive cheering for the Seahawks there after that review was announced. xD

    Pete Carroll says that Chris Clemons has a shot to be ready at the start of the season.

    I really hope they don't push him. He wasn't as enthusiastic about Carpenter, saying he needs to get back in shape (lol)

    In case you were hyped up for the Seahawks being on Hard Knocks this year, JS pretty much said "lolnope".

    Will they get a team though? I've always wondered why teams opened themselves up for this scrutiny. I suppose that's 1 or 2 of the less media friendly teams that could use the publicity, but will HBO be interested in them? All in all seems kinda late to still be discussing who's going to be on the show, you'd think they have things locked in by now.

    I only saw excerpts of the show, here and there, and I'm vaguely interested in watching it this year IF the team they get is interesting enough. If it's Jacksonville or something, then, nvm I have better things to do with my time.

    I'll let you know how it goes, I think I'm going to abuse both teams >.>

    Yeah, well my view on it is that successful franchises don't want other teams to see that stuff.

    Also, Real Rob Report > Hard Knocks.




    I saw something weird pop up on the Arizona Cardinal's facebook: "Save the Date! Tuesday, June 11 is #CardsFanFest at University of Phoenix Stadium. See Bruce Arians, Larry Fitzgerald and the new-look Cardinals! Details coming soon!"

    New uniform design? Shame. I really like their current ones.

    Might just be that they mean "new look" as having installed a new type of offence/defence, not a litteral new look in terms of uniforms.

    That was my hope when I read it.

    I watched it.


    Live.


    Russell Wilson gave us the power to actually win a game... I expected him to put some heat on it though.

    This isn't the New York Jets though. The Pats know what they're doing, and who's gonna argue that Tebow should be starting over Tom Brady?
