Hilarious.
All the experts still think the Pats are done?
That Brady's done?

Musta spied really well this week.

It's called being loaded with guys who understand the game, from owners to the ball boys.
Their fifteen year run is as good as any in any sport, yet you have people in this pathetic state laughing at THEM?

So true, Scott. Much respect for them. I never get the hate.

Some talking heads were saying how Brady was not a good match with the present talent at New England before the game.

Boy....can you imagine a Teddy Football learning the game while Mr. Brady played here for a couple of years and then retirement?

Whaaaa? Teddy's not learning from ponder?

Well, probably learning what NOT to do (let's hope)

I think Teddy's ready. No need to sit behind anyone at this point IMO.

If Kaepernick/SF struggle, I could see Brady ending up back in the Bay. Otherwise, can't really see a great fit for him that springs to mind. Buffalo? Miami?

Does he have any Michigan eligibility left?

They could use him. That's for sure. If Harbaugh takes the gig, I wonder if he'll petition to be a player/coach.

I've not been crazy about the NFL for years now just with the rules changes (offenses can do anything they want now), lack of celebrations, countless legal run-ins, and just the general state of mediocrity. The league has focused on parity which is great for "feeling like you have a chance" but to me it's an inferior product. I thought it was a better league when there were a few dominant teams like the Niners/Cowboys, etc. Ya, it sucked for some of us fans, but that made for more drama to me. I'd rather watch a few great teams than 32 "eh" teams.

Btw ... Can't be happier about the Jets plummet into suckiness
Maybe Rexy can come out and guarantee another SB win soon.
Not liking the Cowboys luck lately, it's turned around.
Loved seeing another Cutler meltdown and another Lion lay down.
Hilarious to see my old pal Gym Shortz carried off the lions field by his Bills players.

Youre talking massive salt in the wounds, there .....

I agree with most of this
But .. Part of me likes not knowing what will happen before the game starts.
CFB getting that way, too.
I just think we have a lot better game-planning and preparation going on in most instances.
Give a really good coaching staff a week or two to put together a great plan, and they can.
Most times now ... When teams really need a win, they show up focused and prepared.

Oh, and another guy I see the experts bashing weekly ... Just threw his 500th TD pass.
Come on man.
Just stop the whole "he sucks " thing on some of these icons.
I hate some athletes and managers and coaches too .... But I'm not dumb enough to talk about how the great ones "suck".
Think about it ...

Honestly .... He'd be what? 4th string at FSU?
If Mauer decided to head there too, then Ponder would be 5th.

You can't call most of these games @the 2 minute warning!

And that suits me just fine.

Pretty funny. That links below are simply:

1. A girl in a bikini and you see her from the back. The headline below simply says "awesome."
2. Next link is a girl in a bra and the headline "The Biggest Chests.."
3. Next, 2 women rolling on the sand with waves crashing..headline "17 gay actors who play straight characters"
4. Next, Channing Tatum..headline: "Celebs you didn't know were bisexual"
5. Next, Lamar Odem with a blond between his legs.."15 shocking celeb affairs"
6. Next, a blond in black leather bra and panties.."Hottest athletes in bikinis".

I think that site has a bit of an agenda.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson could be arrested again after admitting he used drugs, which would violate his bond conditions, reports FOX 9 in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

According to the report, Montgomery County prosecutors have filed documents to have Peterson arrested again after Peterson admitted to a staffer that he "smoked a little weed" before giving a urine sample on Wednesday.

The district attorney has reportedly asked the judge to set aside Peterson's $15,000 bond.

FOX 9 reports that there likely won't be any action on Thursday, because the judge presiding over Peterson's case has a hearing scheduled for Friday morning.

Should be discussing ex-Viking Adrian Peterson sooner or later. He keeps moving closer to the bye-bye status.

So Spielman will over-react and draft a RB in the first round?

pisses me off.

To think of AD running amok on the NFL for some other team. Much like Randy Moss, just irks me.

But It's almost a guarantee now.

He will be back. he will still dominate...but now it wont be for us.

The biggest mistake they could make is draft a guy just to replace him with the first round pick. Now if the guy is talented enough to deserve it, that's fine. but if they reach to replace him...they will end up with the next Troy Williamson.
