JF giving the Redskins bench the finger:



JF being informed by Browns PR guy Rob McBurnett that he just got caught doing that on national television:



To be fair, he's been nothing short of entertainment thus far. He's like a dark Tebowmania.

I laughed a good bit at the last Cam one :pac:

Guffy

I thought his first one was better when he walked out with the bottles

The 2nd last one, "that was Cam Newton..."

It would be even better if they increased the roster size from 53 to 55. The NFL is obsessed with improving their product for the consumer. So you would think giving teams the option to carry more weapons (Defensice or Offensive) on their rosters. Would only add to the strength & appeal of the final product.

They could also allow them to dress more players for the game, i think its 46 that dress for the game?

Yeah, 46. it used to be 45 plus an extra QB but he could only be used if QBs 1 and 2 were injured so they're slowly but surely changing so with all the focus on injuries, it wouldn't surprise me if the roster gets increased at some stage.

Masked Man

it wouldn't surprise me if the roster gets increased at some stage.

they're going to have to if they want to go to an 18 game season.

Steelers running backs Bell & Blount arrested for marijuana possession. Only a misdemeanor offence according to what I read. Wonder if anything will come of it.

This is going to be really interesting.

Bell will be in trouble either way. Even if it is only a misdemeanor, he is being charged with drugs in his systems.

Goodall will have a field day. He is surely looking at 2 games? Blount seems to be okay, he wasn't arrested and left the scene by his own means so should be able to avoid a suspension.

as with all things now we shall compare this to ray rice suspension....so in comparrison, they will be given a picnic in the park followed by a night on the town paid in full by goddell, seems to be in line with his recent punishments

For a guy always rabbiting on about expanding the game and increasing its appeal. Goddell couldn't have set a more embarrassing precedent, in the way he dealt with the Rice case.

But this is nothing like the Rice case, this is marijuana.
Full season bans all round, and a lifetime ban from NFL stadia for the woman in the car also

Please enlighten me, where did I mention drugs or marijuana in my previous post?


Another poster mentioned the Rice case and I commented on Goddell's disastrous handled of that case.


Edit: Apologies dub, read the first line of your post, got distracted and completely misinterpreted your post.

Ya, I see it . I only saw the first line of dub's post and then got distracted with work. Word of warning: Doing work stuff and simultaneously trying to post on Boards doesn't always work.

Fair play Corvus, you see so much nonsense on this site. It's always refreshing to see a poster putting their hand up and admitting a mistake. No surprise it's in this forum though, because the AF forum is the soundest forum on Boards imo.

But the happiest families always bicker the most . Speaking of which, myself and TO. are overdue a long winded debate over the finer points of something.
