    I would almost feel bad for you, if I didn't have to watch Derek Sherrod for the next few weeks.

    Lions should be more aggressive than that if you ask me.

    7 down at half time wouldn't be too bad considering how poorly we are playing

    Watch the safety he gave up on Thursday. I have literally never seen an OT on a play that goes beyond 3 seconds, fail to lift his hands even up to (never mind above) his waist.

    Give me Aarton Brontana-Youngrino, and you'll still struggle to do anything with that kind of play. :pac:

    Listening to Harbaugh's presser there... Don't believe him when he says its the first time that they saw the video.

    Its the way he brings it up/says it. IMO, which is speculation of course, they at least knew that video was there. Whether they ignored it or not is another matter.

    ...and apologised to Rice and the Ravens for all the trouble she had caused.

    Pacman Jones was spot on who he said that Goodells punishments are almost entirely in reaction to media pressure/coverage, and not the situation itself.

    Tell me about it. Just to catch you up on a few other bits.

    Peyton Manning now plays for the Broncos, Brett Favre is retired (although he might be coming out of retirement to play for the Rams) & the Jaguars are rubbish (although that one is hardly new news!!)

    Anything as long as they don't come out in defense of Rice. What was the situation in relation to him not facing charges in court??

    Eli would you f**King throw to Cruz already...

    I have him on my fantasy team and he's got like 1 pass for 4 yards all game.

    I'm not on Twitter but apparently loads of players going against him on this too, which you don't see too often in terms of the bigger controversies as best I know. My guess is the NFLPA picks it's fight somewhat wisely here. If next year a team wants him and he is having trouble getting the ban lifted however, things could change on that front.

    He's in double coverage most of the game, to be fair.

    That's what happens when you've JJ on the outside, and Randle doing feck all. Yeah, the latter is actually playing.

    I was surprised when I finally heard his name as well.

    Started OK, but is after getting completely worn down. He's all technique, and Ansah is too powerful for him.

    Not sure if injury, or if he really is just not up to it.

    And there's the INT.
