Spygate 2: Electric Boogaloo gets the Broncos and McDaniels fined $50K each.

Shockingly it was perpetrated by Steve Scarnecchia who worked with McDaniels on the Pats in 2008 in the midst of Spygate. I say shockingly because wow, how the fuck do you decide it's a good idea to tape a walk through after you've already seen the consequences for such things first hand.

Also, this begs the question: Why the hell would you feel the need to tape the walk through of a winless team?

Hey...we had one win at that point.

They thought they could get away with it in London.

LOL Bills. Merriman is the poster boy for steroid use in the NFL. Without his Vitamin S, the guy is a scrub.

[Meacon Keaton]

Come on, NFL. We're 3-7, give us a break.

[livid]

Yeah, that's a good point.

I mean, you have to be really bad to cheat and still lose.

[Meacon Keaton]

That's what I'm saying. Who are we hurting, really?

[sahyder1]

Personally, I'm hoping the Pats humiliate the Jets. The Jets need to learn their place.

What "place" would that be? They are 9-2 this season. They are 13-3 in their previous 16 games (including the playoffs). In their last 20 games they are 16-4. How many teams are better?

[Lowerdeck]

1. They act like they're the greatest things since sliced bread. They got a few lucky wins, without it they play like a sixth seed.

2. I hate the Jets. Get trophies first, then talk shit.

Adam Shefter is reporting on ESPN that Ellis Hobbs is mulling over retirement after suffering his second neck injury in 2 years. As an Eagles fan, Hobbs wasn't the best corner around, but its never good to see someone retire over injury

[gunnar hendershow]

Neck injuries are unfortunately gonna call for retirement most times. Much more than repeated concussions do, for better or worse. He won't be the first to retire out of concern for his longterm health.

The collapse is on the verge of completion. Jags 17-6 with less than 20 seconds left in the half. They have about 150 rushing yards already and David Garrard is being treated like Barry Sanders with 2 runs going from one sideline to the other to pick up a 1st down on 3rd and 5 and then a TD. Fuck this team.

Guys, has anyone else heard rumors of a Cowboys-Titans trade, primarily involving Tony Romo for Vince Young?

That sounds like a fantasy football trade, not something that would happen in real life.

Yeah, a quick google search produces results that only involve fantasy football. ESPN Insider's rumor central also says nothing, because that's a completely ridiculous idea.

[Meacon Keaton]

That's like me offering you this cat turd for your dog turd.

[Kyle_]

Young for Romo is a horrible trade, Only things Young gives you is slightly quicker feet and a couple years younger

[TCO]

Surely the Titans would have to throw in some decent draft picks in there too for that to work? I wouldn't do the straight trade if I were Dallas, but if they package a 2nd or 3rd with it, I'd definitely consider it.

Why trade for a guy the Titans are likely to cut? If they don't cut him, then Fisher's going to get fired and you could just as easily draft a QB with less baggage than VY with a 2nd or 3rd round pick. It's not like the Cowboys need a guy from the area to sell tickets.

[TCO]

I don't know what's going to happen to VY in Tennesee, but the main thing I was getting at is that Romo for Young straight up is ludicrous.

[Powerhart]

Thanks for that. And just like for every Titans-Texans game, they had a fight, and the cops are taking Andre Johnson out of the game.
