    Huge fan of Burfict and delighted the kid has bounced back from the draft etc.

    Filing this under weird, possibly wacky, definitely not awesome

    They deserve to lose!

    What goes on at the bottom of those piles when players are trying to get possession from a fumble etc? Is it just a case of doing whatever it takes to get the ball until the referee pulls everyone off of the pile?


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,172 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Best way to find out would be to go to a game, run onto the pitch just as the ball is snapped on a running play and head to where the most bodies are.....otherwise you can just imagine it's anything goes until the refs get some order!

    Hey folks, been offline for couple of weeks. I've relocated to Calgary!

    Getting to see plenty more NFL and have started watching the CFL invariably, go Stamps! Missing loads Premier League as a result. Great to actaully watch football at a decent time, though in MDT you still go back a further hour for Packers or E.T games.

    Loving the unpredictablity of the NFL this year. Although I did say that Panthers would struggle I'm genuinly surprised at competitiveness of the league this year. Sorry Browns fans.

    Tebow to Jags. I'm calling it. Ryan is an idiot who doesn't deserve a winner on his team.

    Can't see it. They will ride Gabbert to the end of the season. I fear Tebow will not get a chance to be a starting QB again (barring injury)

    Could a RB needy team make a play for DeAngelo Williams. Clearly not needed with Stewart being the number 1 guy there. Williams has a big contract which i'm sure the Panther could do with getting off the books. Maybe Arizona as a possible trade partner.

    Ravens LT Bryant McKinnie in yet more trouble according to NBC Miami

    Can the Ravens please cut this fat mess?

    The debts of $375,000 were racked up when he was with the Vikings
    Ravens offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie is being sued by the owner of several Miami strip clubs for racking up bills at the establishments and failing to pay them.

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/30/bryant-mckinnie-sued-for-375000-in-strip-club-bills/

    I didn't know these clubs gave credit!

    This one gets filed under wacky

    Normally those kind of places don't sue but good luck getting money out of McKinnie any other way!

    I note the lack of proper fan attire in that photo, clearly a case of hiding your allegiances if you ask me. :D

    I'm a Browns fan. Genuinely believe we will be better prepared for next season than the Jets. They were truly awful. Must be the most frustrating team in the NFL to support.

    I got the same abuse from friends so I suited up in some cheap Reebok gear they were selling cheap.

    $10 return bus from the port terminal bus station in times square was hassle free. If you are looking to drink, tailgate if you can. $9.75 for a beer in the stadium was horrific. The Jets mega store is horrendously overpriced. Pick up merchandise in a models if possible. There is a great one on 42nd street just of times square. Merchandise from every team in the NFL (bar the browns of course) at very reasonable prices.

    Haha, it was a whole $10. They were selling ask the Reebok **** at half price. The Nike gear was extortion. Hit jerseys is the way forward.

    everyone knows the eagles are ****e though, cowboys tend to buy into the hype, like drafting claibourne to fix the secondary, dez to be the next superstar WR etc. they always remind me of liverpool, every year its going to be their season despite the fact they are average at best, put in redic performances to get you excited and then lose to the bucs etc
