  1. I thought each of the last few seasons has featured a double header on the opening Monday. They'll be back to normal next week.
  2. True, he didn't throw any picks though and like you said in another post 2 dropped TD passes. I'm biased though cause I've never liked Romo much.
  3. Slick hands after a slippery run by Johnson.
  4. He should phone Aaron Rodgers and ask how to deal with stubborn starting qb's who won't retire.
  5. Roger Goodell says the league is looking into whether or not protocol was followed regarding Cam Newton's headshots. Very curious to see what the league decides. If they start trying to enforce a star qb out of the game at a critical time then they have to make the penalties on the defensive player stiffer than a personal foul and a fine. "Hey if we hit him in the head he's out for 4 minutes for a medical exam and we take our chances with the backup" You know we'll see it.
  6. @ThrustyPrusty89 I just wandered in here to post that same thing!
  7. Charger issue formal request to have games shortened to 3 quarters.
  8. Spent the 1st half watching Red Zone for the first time and I don't like it. Would rather be channel surfing.
  9. Blair Walsh misses a short kick and picks up right where he left off in last years playoffs.
  10. Looks like NFL Sunday Ticket is on a free trial from Shaw again this year.
  11. @debluvscanuck @King Heffy I made a pick this week, it appears we can't see other people's picks whether they did or didn't.
  12. Did anyone else ask Carolina what the hell they were doing wasting a timeout on their own goal line before throwing the challenge flag? Yes they wanted a closer look at the play, but just throw the flag instead. That timeout would have come in really handy. I get that you don't want to waste a challenge, but that wasted timeout cost them a chance at 5 more yards at the end of their last drive.
  13. Couldn't ask for a better opening game. I saw the first one real-time, but I could see how the officials would miss it from field level. At least they got the last one right, although I always found it odd how a personal foul is offset by something like intentional grounding.
  14. 44th rushing TD for Newton. He should shatter that record by the time he's ready to retire. What an athlete.
  15. Welcome back NFL. The fall season has meaning again.
  16. Lol @ 2 year warranty!

  17. Oakland is going to have to be better on run defence to make your D pick worth it.
  18. They mentioned that during the game. Pretty wild. They then said Houston's ability to recruit as well might be hurt if they join the Big 12. Can anyone explain why Big 12 recruiting is slipping in Texas? Or why Houston in particular would be hurt if they joined?
  19. Just sayin, I'm pretty lukewarm on the World Cup of Hockey at the moment. 

     

    Anyone else having a tough time getting excited for it? I'd rather skip it and go right to NHL training camp.

      It's filler hockey at this point. Will watch it but not care about who wins.

      Not amped either. Seems like a Buttman feeler to see if he can bail on the Olympics and increase revenue without interrupting the reg season.

       

      I'm guessing NHL GM's were asked and they'd prefer to deal with potnetial injuries early in the season and give their prospects a look, rather than deal with star players down when they're in the chase, and you can't bring kids up from the CHL in Feb.

       

      It makes sense as far as timing to suit the league, but I'd be way more excited if it were the Olympics. I might be singing a different tune pretty soon though.
