Yeah, very poor showing.

He is a family friend too.

There is this growing (and sick) sentiment that because many women are now trying to fight men like men that it is ok for the man to fight them back.

I even hear this theory from WOMEN

"If you want to fight like a man you get beat like a man"

bullshit

As a man I hope you are strong enough to restrain your woman without knocking them out and then dragging them like a sack of potatoes.


The options to avoid violence are always there. Always. However, as Americans, the history of our Nation teaches us that might is right. I understand the confusion.

Just like the topical bullying issue. What a surprise, American children now have a serious bullying problem. The country in which they live was built on bullying. The domestic police force is militarized, and excessive force is the norm (Eric Garner). Foreign policy is all about bullying. Make up a reason to attack your enemy, and fukcing kill them all.

Our criminal justice system is certainly not perfect, but throwing, catching or dribbling a ball should not make you above the law.

The very least the NFL could do, is take a serious stand against abuse. Human abuse.

I was in a heated discussion with my wife over something stupid. I ended up taking a walk around the block and I realized how silly the issue was. I was laughing about it by the time I made it back home.


It's a good thing, cause she'd a slapped you silly. [:'(]

And here's a thought: If the woman in your life is so out of control and wacky that you get to the point of even THINKING of hitting her - just leave! Leave the relationship, move out, file for divorce, whatever. The relationship is toxic regardless of which side (or more probably both) are to blame. Avoid the physical violence by just backing away.



Offer simple solutions to complex problems much?

I'm proud that I had the patience and resilience to work things out with my wife. She had a lot of anger and trust issues stemming from childhood issues. I didn't give up on her though.


Who else would put up with you? [&:] Look how fast Carlos got tired of you. Or was it Julio? Eduardo?

The entire Spanish speaking nation tired of me.

I sure hope Wash doesn't give Griffin the same limited preseason reps that Ponder got

He needs to be on the field throwing a lot to get back in game shape



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Around the NFL (8/10/2014 2:55:34 PM)

I didn't see it all, but the part that I did see, Cousins looked pretty good too.



John Childress -> RE: Around the NFL (8/10/2014 7:28:48 PM)

I have seen Cousins in several games

He appears to be a really good QB for several games then falls apart.

He is an interesting choice for a team looking for a QB

OR

He may end up being the QB in Washington at the rate RGIII is going



John Childress -> RE: Around the NFL (8/12/2014 2:13:01 PM)

This doesn't bode well for DeSean Jackson:

QUOTE: On three- and five-step drops, Griffin often has been efficient. The Redskins are encouraged by Griffin’s accuracy while throwing on the move. He and his receivers mostly have been in sync on short and intermediary routes. Those are things on which coaches can build.

When receivers ran long-developing routes, however, Griffin struggled. He lacked consistency on plays that featured seven-step drops. That doesn’t mean Griffin won’t get it eventually. But he needs reps to work on his rough edges, which is why you practice.

John Childress -> Well, they DID cheat! (8/16/2014 11:51:59 AM)

I lost respect for Cary Williams on this one. Why are you apologizing? The Patriots DID cheat, they were caught, and they were punished. Is Bill B so powerful that you can't even admit when he is wrong?

Wow, the Emperor really has a new suit on!

John Childress -> RE: Well, they DID cheat! (8/16/2014 12:00:39 PM)

SEATTLE -- The starters for the Seattle Seahawks completely dominated the San Diego Chargers' starters in the first half, building a 24-0 lead en route to a 41-14 victory Friday night at CenturyLink Field.

The Seahawks outgained the Chargers 260 to 122 in first-half yards, including 144 yards rushing in the first two quarters for Seattle. Russell Wilson competed 11 of 13 throws for 121 yards and he ran for two touchdowns. Robert Turbin rushed for 81 yards in the first half.

Here are some other thoughts on the Seahawks' first preseason home game of the year:
What a difference a week makes for Turbin. He had an awful night at Denver, rushing for only five yards on four carries. But Turbin was outstanding against the Chargers, rushing for 81 yards on 12 carries in the first half, including a 47-yard run. He also had a one-yard touchdown run. Having left guard James Carpenter on the field after missing last week's game certainly helped, but two starters still were out -- center Max Unger and left tackle Russell Okung.
Wilson had a superb first half while he was in the game. He was almost perfect throwing the ball, along with running for 31 yards and the two scores. Wilson would have had a 13-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin late in the in the second quarter, but a replay review ruled Baldwin didn't get both feet down in the end zone before taking a vicious hit by San Diego safety Darrell Stuckey.

It's becoming clear what a huge difference receiver Percy Harvin is going to make in the Seattle offense this season. Harvin had four receptions for 31 yards in the first half, which may not sound all that impressive, but his presence on the field changes how the defense plays and opens things up for other players on the Seahawks offense.

Eli Manning has been so bad this preseason people are wondering if something is wrong with him

1 complete in 2 weeks

I guess with the goal of having him hit 70% this year, he's trying to get all his incompletitions out of the way in the preseason....



John Childress -> RE: Well, they DID cheat! (8/17/2014 11:44:57 AM)

LMAO

I wonder if he has Chuck Knoblauch syndrome!



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Well, they DID cheat! (8/17/2014 2:22:08 PM)

Why? Is he getting pelted with hotdogs now?? [&:]



John Childress -> Preseason Surprises (8/18/2014 7:32:59 AM)

SF and the NY Football Giants have both looked like crap in the preseason.

Does it matter?

Can they turn it around?

Eli looks like he forgot how to play the game and SF can't score

Strange to see teams that you know have players, and a plan (like SF, for sure) look so completely inept like that.
Yep, we all get that its practice ... but its gotta mean something.
Very odd.



John Childress -> RE: Preseason Surprises (8/18/2014 8:36:30 AM)

I agree

When I see the first team offenses led by SB QBs like Eli and Kap struggle to score a point I think that WILL translate into early season struggles in the regular season



John Childress -> RE: Preseason Surprises (8/18/2014 7:49:54 PM)

RGIII is better than last year but still several months away from getting back to 2012 form

Jay Gruden isn't the brightest play caller out there. How many times is he going to ram Morris into a mass of humanity?



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Preseason Surprises (8/18/2014 7:59:04 PM)

RG III still taking WAY too many shots on the run. There is no reason for him to get pinballed. Just get out of bounds dude.


Manziel (and the Browns in general) look like they are being led by Kyle Shannahan. [:o]



John Childress -> RE: Preseason Surprises (8/18/2014 8:01:43 PM)

Yeah, Manziel looks brutal

Washington is loaded offensively but they need better playcalling and Griffin has to throw the ball deep and stop running

Roberts and Jackson are two of the fastest WRs in the NFL and Garcon can still motor

A good TE as well



John Childress -> RE: Preseason Surprises (8/18/2014 8:09:36 PM)

Hoyer is even worse

Just missed a TD pass a HS QB could have made



bgdavis -> RE: Preseason Surprises (8/19/2014 3:41:06 PM)

I wonder how many teams will make these?

Agree. Just a weird game. It was a contest of "who sucks worse" and I'm not sure who won.



SoMnFan -> RE: Preseason Surprises (8/22/2014 10:50:06 PM)

Pats destroy the Panthers tonight.
Great QBs like Manning and Brady can just kill defenses, no matter what time of year it is.
