    rip rg3 you stubborn talent gone to waste. Knew he was a bust before even being drafted. Should talk more imo.

    Yeah Levy absolutely killed him yesterday. In fairness to him though that injury at the end of his rookie year really kind of destroyed his year. He's had to stop playing in a way that makes him successful by using his speed and agility, his pure passing ability isn't good enough to make it as a pocket qb in the NFL.

    Also doesn't really help the fact he's in Washington, they seem to have a bad habit of mismanaging stars

    Fantasy football drafts should always be the 1st week of September as the preseason ends :P

    Yeah well my one with friends always is, but we've got a keeper league on here so teams have been pretty close to set since the end of last year.

    Damn them injuries starting to pile up. Kelvin Benjamin torn acl. Out for the year.

    It sucks what fantasy football has done to people. The first thought that ran through my mind wasn't "damn bad luck for him/Panthers"

    It was "damn, that sucks for my chances in our CDC league this year" :P

    Yes it's live for all teams. So far I am liking it, I think this year they added NFL redzone to it. They have all the redzone shows from the past couple seasons. Also get live and archived shows from NFL network. I think you should have access to more stuff once regular season starts. It says you can watch coaches film, but right now that's not working for me.

    Currently flipping between the Bucs-Vikings and Texans-49ers. Winston not looking to sharp so far.

    I also use the mobile app and cast it to my chromecast.

    Interesting. I'm thinking about getting NFL Sunday Ticket this year because there are so few Lions games that I get to see on tv, but I'll have to look more into this I guess if I can watch live games for about a quarter of what Telus wants for Sunday Ticket

    C'mon Sheldon Richardson really!?! Dude should be gone at least a year with some executives saying they think he's played his last down in the NFL. I guess it's a good thing they picked Leonard Williams this year.

    FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson has been charged with resisting arrest after a July 14 incident in which police say he was driving a car engaged in a high-speed road race near his home in St. Louis, the prosecuting attorney said Thursday in a statement.

    A fully loaded semi-automatic weapon was found in the car, a 2014 Bentley, police said, and there was "a very strong odor of burned marijuana" emanating from the vehicle, the St. Charles County prosecuting attorney's office said in a statement posted to its website.

    Richardson's car was traveling as fast as 143 mph, according to the statement, and police said a 12-year-old was among the passengers in his car.

    The incident occurred only 12 days after Richardson received a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

    Reports of the arrest didn't surface until late Thursday, less than one hour after Richardson, commenting publicly for the first time on the suspension, vowed to stay clean.

    "I'm not a dope fiend, man," he told reporters. "I apologized to my teammates and this organization. I told them they don't have to worry about my name being in the news again."

    Richardson is scheduled to appear in St. Charles Circuit Court on October 27 for his arraignment.

    The Jets were blindsided by the arrest. They had no idea until media reports hit the Internet late Thursday afternoon.

    This is a stunning fall for Richardson, the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2013 and a Pro Bowl selection last season.

    Resisting arrest is a Class A misdemeanor in St. Charles County. If convicted, he could be sentenced up to a year in jail and/or fined up to $1,000. It wasn't immediately clear how, or if, this will result in additional punishment by the league.

    In a statement released Thursday, the Jets said they are gathering more information but declined further comment, noting it is a pending legal matter.

    A probable cause statement, released by police, said Richardson endangered the welfare of a child in the first degree. There were three passengers in the car, including the 12-year-old. The others were adult males.

    Richardson was the only person charged, but there were no gun, marijuana or child endangerment charges, according to the prosecutor.

    Police said they spotted two cars traveling at "exceedingly high rates of speed" on Interstate 64, suspecting a road race.

    Richardson's Bentley sped away to avoid police, exiting the highway and parking in the driveway of a home, according to the prosecutor. Richardson turned off the lights, but police found him because they spotted his brake lights on.

    Richardson exited the vehicle, complied with police and was issued a summons.

    The probable cause statement, submitted by the officer on the scene, said Richardson was clocked at 122 mph, 135 mph and 143 mph. He sped through a red light and briefly lost control of his car to the point where the rear of the Bentley swerved into the oncoming lane of traffic.

    Richardson was ordered out of the car at gunpoint because he was "appearing to reach for something between his feet upon being ordered to stop," the police report said. The loaded handgun was recovered from underneath the driver's side floormat. At that point, police "smelled a very strong odor of burned marijuana emanating from the vehicle."

    Speaking to reporters Thursday, shortly before reports of his arrest surfaced, Richardson insisted he was done with marijuana.

    "I can say, 'no,' I just chose not to," he said, referring to the violation that led to his suspension. "It was in a depressing time in my offseason, and that's just that. It's just that simple, bro. There's money on the line. My money is worth more than some weed."

    By rule, it takes at least three violations to land a four-game suspension. Richardson said he didn't appeal because, "I failed every drug test and missed drug test, so there was no reason to appeal it. I take full accountability for my actions."

    Jets coach Todd Bowles, speaking before the arrest became public, said the organization will help Richardson "get help for his problem. .. It'll be a good lesson for him. I'm sure his parents are more disappointed than anybody, and he had to stand that. His actions will speak louder than his words going forward."

    Richardson, eligible for the preseason, already has lost his starting job. He was demoted to second team, replaced by No. 1 pick Leonard Williams. Richardson will remain with the backups throughout the preseason, according to Bowles.

    "Seeing yourself going from the Pro Bowl to second string, you can't do nothing but be disappointed with yourself," Richardson said.

    Just for the record I did bid a ton on Bridgewater. Just not enough apparently

    :P

    He was the one guy who going in to this I really wanted to walk away with. I needed 2 qb's and felt pretty good with the rest of my team so when I got Palmer for $21 I decided to just throw the rest of my money at Bridgewater and fill out my last 2 roster spots with $1 dollar guys

    He'll be here till Brady is gone but he's shown glimpses before. Idk a better guy to have out there tbh.

    He's only showed one glimpse in the last week of a season against a Lions team who had 4 wins and a bottom 5 defense in the league. I'm with sabrefan on this one. Just a camp arm

    Edit: Nvm got the years mixed up it was the 2011 season where the Lions barely snuck into the playoffs. Still a bottom 10 defense though so not like it was ALOT better.

    That story is one of the many reasons why I love sports. The irony. Also, is it just me or do the Pats have a ridiculously good drafting/development record compared to other teams. They must be top 3. Forget about any draft busts, just players that no matter where they were drafted went on to have an impact on the team.

    Just a casual observation taken over the years.

    Top 3 in no particular order:

    Patriots

    Ravens

    Seahawks

    Anyone disagree?

    Seahawks in just the last few years.

    In total i think its

    Patriots

    Ravens

    Packers

    Absolutely shocked I managed to get Palmer for 21$

    Thought he would go for alot more than that, but I guess most people were putting the big money on Eli maybe?
