Spoilsport!! NFL network would go into over drive. The amount of articles dedicated to a potential Manziel vs Tebow Super Bowl would possibly crash the web.

Nah ESPN would! NFL network would just have them clowns call a "players only meeting" and shows us all the best way to kneel correctly!

Browns on Sky again tonight

Blacked out on Gamepass again. If Johnny turns out good for the rest of the season, there may be no point in renewing next season. We got NFC and AFC west next year meaning the odd late game and if he is crowned starter i take it we'll break our MNF hoodoo.

Do Pats,Colts,Broncos,Packers(Teams that are regularly on Sky and Primetime) even bother with Gamepass?

Just use Hola. Screw sky and their blackouts. They're very easy to get around.

tebow was one of the worst qbs in the game and people where still talking about him daily months after he left the league and years after it was evident he was not of a sufficient standard to play in the league id really rather not rekindle that fire also i have little to no faith in a player who's best trait is that "he has god on his side"

I'll always have a soft spot for Tebow. Just as I was really starting to get hooked on the game, it was the same time that Tebow was pulling off those miracle wins. This was madness:

In truth, if the Cardinals are to sign a free agent QB I think their best bet is probably one of Garrard or Seneca Wallace (or Leftwich, but he is two years out of the league). The likes of Warner and Favre are too long out of the league and unrealistic, while they have a big aura of being a team without any real individuals (kind of like the Browns in a sense) - just another reason Tebow would make no seense. Either way, they are in for a real struggle even if they win out and hold on to the #1 seed for the playoffs.

I think there's zero chance they sign a free agent to start given what the coaches and players have been preaching all year.

In other news, here's some pre-6pm viewing hot off the press. The U part 2.

DeAngelo Tyson is a 5th round pick from a few years for the Ravens. Solid player who is part of the defensive end rotation


I have never ever heard of a player missing a game due to jury duty. He is inactive this week as he missed practice.

Tyson served jury duty on Thursday instead of prepping for the Ravens' most important game of the year.

"That’s a first," Harbaugh said. "What can I say about it? I'm not in charge of jury duty."

Tyson was picked for a jury in a civil case involving a car accident. The jury found the plaintiff was not injured in the collision.

Teammates ribbed Tyson for his absence, saying "Did you give him life? and "How about life with no chance of parole?"

"I think it’s a task that you have to do when you get called," Tyson said. "It was an opportunity to experience how juries are able to convict a case. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t. I don’t want to be the one to give someone a sentence or anything like that. Luckily, it wasn’t that kind of case."

Perhaps my favourite part of a Monday morning is trawling through team threads and laughing at the (myself included) overreaction to one game!

Completely forgot there was Saturday games next week. Love it. I miss the Saturday night games they used to have near Christmas.

Bowl games start this Saturday.

I'd like to think the real reason is to make up for Jags - Titans being Thursday Night Football.

That's going to be a five star game anyway. I'll be giving that game a skip I think. this game could be Viking-Giants bad.

Have people seen this? Apparently Luck has been doing it for a while now, congratulating defenders after they bring him to the ground.

an interesting article for anyone interested on eagles 2012 first round pick danny watkins (the 26 year old firefighter and one of the worst picks in recent eagles history) he was 6 foot 3 ,305 pounds and agile coming out of college he was very intelligent he was mature and he had shut down von miller in college many people claimed he would have been a top 10 pick had he been younger, howard mudd (legendary o-line coach spent years in the league many of them protecting peyton in imdi) felt comfortable leaving him one on one with kong suh such was his talents in theory...... but he flamed out did absolutely nothing in the league its a great example of how sometimes the most sure of draft picks just dont work out (he's now a fire fighter in dallas)

The quick termination in my opinion looks very bad in terms of his innocence/guilt. Reminded me of Hernandez last summer when a lot were saying it was way too quick to sack him, only a day or so after the story broke. I'm guessing it's the same here - the team have more info than we do, and it's not good.
