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 so wish that these were real!! the two Cam ones at the end are better than Peytons imo.

Knex* · 19-08-2014 5:53pm

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

Guffy · 19-08-2014 5:54pm

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

19-08-2014 8:28pm

The last Cam one the guy was literally blabbering he didn't know what to say haha.
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 · 20-08-2014 6:34pm

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.

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.

Tough man running away. He'd have smashed his 40 time if he'd ran like that at the Combine. :pac:

EDIT - 16,000 posts. I really need to get a life and stop talking about sport so much. :pac:

The highlight has to the police officer just wandering away as soon it all starts to kick off.

23-08-2014 6:59pm

what a little **** i can imagine how that went down the big shot nfl player acting the maggot.

id imagine that was street security or something as well can't see a police officer calmly strolling away like that

Can someone please explain to how is Matt Prater suspended for 4 games? He was done for dui 3 years ago, and was caught having a few bottles of beer at home and is now on a 4 game suspension. How in the name of Brady can this be done?

Masked Man · 24-08-2014 3:57pm

I'm guessing he wasn't punished after the DUI? Probably a suspended sentence or something like that.

****. I'm genuinely sad about that. I honestly think/thought he had the potential to be a franchise QB. Now he's likely finished at least in St.Louis

If the Rams end up taking a QB early this year then there's few better places that QB, whoever it is, could end up. It would be one of the best situations in the league to land as a rookie IMO.
