2012 NFL Season

[Meacon Keaton]

I have cable only for MLB, NFL, and NBA Network. I would just up and sell my tv if I didn't have them. You poor soul.

[Maxx]

I don't really need them as much, considering I now live in Dallas and should see every single Cowboys game. I will miss Redzone though.

Nightmare for Kevin Kolb tonight.

[Plubby]

Ahaha someone tweeted that he was in midseason form

Nightmare for Kevin Kolb tonight.

Kevin Kolb's entire career is a nightmare. He's being pressed for the starting job by John Skelton. You don't need to say any more about Kolb after that.

[Cactus Drags]

Fuck ESPN America. Their Facebook and Twitter pages were all "NFL back on TV tonight woo we're showing it live!" with no fucking mention that they're only showing it in mainland Europe and not the UK/Ireland. Fuck Sky for good measure as well, as I'm sure they must be partly responsible.

[Dan]

I thought it was odd it wasn't on the Sky guide.

Luckily I haven't resubbed to Sky Sports or ESPN yet, waiting another week or so.

For the first time, a woman will be on an NFL officiating crew. Shannon Eastin will work Thursday's Green Bay at San Diego game.

Huzzah!

Great team chemistry!

[DMN in the House]

It's actually not that uncommon for fights to happen in practice. Not massive brawls, but things happen, usually between offensive and defensive linemen. I got in a few when i was in high school. Practice gets intense, emotions are high, shit happens.

And the cavemen revolt in the comment section.

Apparently this is the worst thing to ever happen in organized activities. Fuck some men are stupid.

How is she going to make her husband chicken wings if she is on the field? Terrible.

T.O. is working on a deal with the Seahawks... can he make the team?

It would appear so.

[Meacon Keaton]

That doesnt necessarily mean he will make the team. Still a lot of cuts to make before the start of the season.

[gunnar hendershow]

When you're a WR, and you lose it, it ain't coming back. I'll be surprised if he makes the team.

When you're a WR, and you lose it, it ain't coming back. I'll be surprised if he makes the team.

I'd amend that slightly. Post-Cowboys T.O. is similar to post-Bengals Chad Johnson. They still thought they were a #1 or #2 receiver, but everything else pointed otherwise. After both were humbled (T.O. by being out of the league, Johnson by the Patriots' playbook), I think both are starting to come around to the idea that if they don't adapt to a different role, they're gone. Both could still be solid slot guys or 15-20 yd. deep decoys.

I don't think WR is as cut-and-dry a position as the running backs or fullbacks. There a few more roles that one could play as a receiver, so maybe T.O. can land a decent spot in Seattle and get one solid - if not unspectacular - season so he can take care of his financial troubles.

[Maxx]

Sidney Rice is the only WR on the Seahawks roster that is definitely better than T.O. Their team is that sad. I do hope Golden Tate refuses to give up the 81 jersey though.

[gunnar hendershow]

Haha Justin Tuck is awesome.

"Thank you for giving us the game, Clay," Tuck deadpanned. "I appreciate it a lot."

[naiwf]

I hope that teams will continue to beat themselves when playing the Giants.
