Just watched Hard Knocks. Man, this show is seriously the best. If any NFL fan didn't already have HBO for Game of Thrones they should seriously get it just for the month or two or Hard Knocks. Watching Philbin sit down with Johnson and break it to him that they were releasing him was brutal. And we aren't even at the major roster cutdowns yet which are just the best. HBO needs to do this for an entire season and not just preseason.

I'm reading through a thread about the NFL and I see ponies everywhere. Sometimes things just don't make sense.
Apparently it's a laceration on his spleen. They said that if it doesn't heal correctly after awhile they'll do surgery. I don't think we're going to have any celebrity deathmatch action going on.
Sometimes I question the intelligence of these people: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...8470--nfl.html
TLDR: Vikings camp: touch Adrian Peterson and you're fired.
You know, or he could just not practice with people, instead of just giving a retarded warning to the entire team. I guess it isn't a team sport after all...
Lol. We are what three weeks now from the regular season and AD can't even by lightly contacted in practice? In what universe is starting him in week 1 a good idea?

I really wish NFLN was showing the Green Bay game. I fucking hate Atlanta and Cinncy.
Also, BAH at Seattle and Denver not being on TV Saturday and instead airing the Cowboys and Chargers. If the Boys play anything like last week just fucking kill me now.

Exact opposite really. The problem is that the owners (which means the league) wanted to cut their pay. Of course the refs said hell no, so that results in the owners deciding to bring in replacement refs that couldn't cut it in D1. Brilliant decision, because I'm sure they'll save so much money by letting these NCAA rejects screw up games and piss off the fans instead of keeping the regular refs' salaries at their current level.

Brandon Weeden is apparently Cleveland's starter. Doesn't look too impressive so far. Seems like he's afraid to throw downfield.
Graham Harrell is Aaron Rodgers' backup. I haven't heard that name in awhile. He was kind of a big deal in college, but hasn't done squat since he's been in the league.

Commentators are so damn stupid. Harrell throws a good pass, under pressure, that was picked off because the tight end fell down. So, naturally, they start talking about how Harrell could be dropped, because back up QB's are really important. And oh look, Colt McCoy might be looking for a job. You know, because he made a good pass. He obviously can't handle it. Don't mention his good mobility, or the fact the interception WASN'T HIS FAULT, talk about how fragile his job is. I can't believe these people get paid for this.
Ya I didn't actually look that up and went from memory. If the NFL really wanted to cut their salaries LOL. The NFL has record revenue, is making billions of dollars, and is completely willing to fuck with the quality of their game for $10-20 million, if I am remembering the estimated figure correctly from a story I read at work and can't find again.

My friend linked me a Seahawks blog and found this gem -
Terrell Owens is still Terrell Owens
Wilson dropped back to pass in 7v7 drills and did not see an open receiver (see above). He dumped the ball off to Robert Turbin. Owens was running an out route on the play and was headed in a straight line directly at me. When the pass went to Turbin, Owens grimaced and said something to the effect of, "C'mon man!" As a bit of context, I have seen roughly 500-700 pass attempts through training camp, and had not seen a single obvious demonstration of receiver frustration at their quarterback until that moment. Wilson went to Owens on the next play, who was not open, and overthrew him. Maybe it was a coincidence. Maybe it was Wilson trying to placate his receiver. This is part of Owens downside. Do not let yourself believe he is some changed person. He is a talented player, and a troubled person. I continue to think this team is better off without him.
OMG seriously? Sweet christ do the Pats need MORE potential weapons? If their defense is even somewhat not awful they are going to be absurd this year. You know with Belicheck that he is going to see time in the backfield and end up being a huge weapon. Look at Woodhead, they picked him up expecting him to be only a special teams guy and now he is essentially one of their feature backs.

LOL at it taking three minutes for the replacement refs in the Lions game to screw up the markers and the clock.

Well least Ravens - Lions are playing this game like its NFL.
The refs... not so much.
The Lions special teams coach is not going to be happy about that return even if it comes back. 4-5 Lions tried to ballhawk rather than tackle the guy.
Blount got his knee blown up for the Bucs. Good thing they used a first round pick on an RB this year.

they're saying groin injury which is not so bad, maybe I can still sneakily draft Martin around the 10th round...
