The fact that they have "official online store of the NFL" on their homepage would worry me a little since they definitely aren't.

Their company address doesn't exist and their FAQ was definitely written by someone using Google translate.

For example: How do I can return the items to your company? If the product's quality is no problem, we can't to accept the return it.

Not sure I'd like to give them my credit card details.

The Boogermobile just shows how disconnected ESPN and the NFL are from their viewership. Kinda hilarious they thought putting a TV on the back was acceptable.

What will be the most interesting to see on Monday night is how the Boogermobile fairs against the Bills Mafia?

A first in the super bowl era with regards to the officials. A down judge by the name of Hugo Cruz has been reportedly fired from his job. This is according to Dean Blandino on a video for Fox where he and Mike Perreira talks mostly about the TNF game. They say it has never happened during a season and he is the official who blew false start in the Browns vs Chargers game but it's apparently not for that one call.

Looks like a major family feud braking out over control of the Denver Broncos

Pat Bowlen's brother is taking legal action to remove Joe Ellis and the trustees running the team.

It looks like there is a major legal battle developing between Beth Bowlen (from the first marriage) and Brittany Bowlen (second marriage) backed by Ellis and Elway.

Then in swoops Manning and sorts it all out.

Heard on the Dan LeBatard show yesterday that because of their recent trades, Amari Cooper will get 2 bye weeks this year whereas Damon Harrison will now get none.

But aren't they given paychecks for gameday? Would that mean Cooper gets less money, or that Harrison gets more? Or have I it wrong?

kmart6 · 26-10-2018 10:37PM

Isn't it their salary is just divided by 16 and split that way, don't think it's dependant or based on the games played/available. Cooper not going to get less and Harrison not going to get more.

I've no idea how it works but I'd imagine there's something in the CBA for occurrences like this.

mikemac2 · 27-10-2018 04:47PM

Salaries are split into 17 payments and it does not matter if it’s a game week or bye week. Playoffs game cheques are set by the league and it’s as low as $29,000 for wildcard weekend though many players will have playoff bonuses

If Amari Cooper is getting two bye weeks well that’s good for him. He will get paid in full

Full pay for playing one game less works out quite well for him then. Not so for Harrison though, extra game for the same pay.

kmart6 · 27-10-2018 10:02PM

I'd say his workload will be managed to account for that though, he's no use to the team if the completely dog him.

No, jags still celebrating beating the Pats in their Superbowl a few weeks ago. They've done nothing since

They were so eye-bleedingly bad at times yesterday that I said that someone was going to get the bullet between Haley and Jackson and with his previous with the team, it was finally time to part ways with Hue.

Whatever they do next has to coach closely with Baker. It is a very young roster, so it's needs somebody to coach them.

paulie21 · 29-10-2018 05:12PM

Todd Haley gone as well

Hazys · 29-10-2018 05:13PM

Why now? Why not 2 years ago?

jack presley · 29-10-2018 05:32PM

Bad couple of days for coaches in Cleveland. Terry Francona's probably alright though.

Will they keep Williams as DC or is he in danger too?

3-36-1, quite the achievement, must be close to the worst record (in the same span of games).
