I'd watch anything really, NFL football is still the best in the world and an hour flight is nothing to see it.

Heading to Arizona @ St Louis this year and can't wait!

That's gonna be a bit one-sided.

A judge sentenced Vikings wide receiver Michael Floyd to a day in jail and ordered him to serve the final five days of his previously issued house arrest for violating the terms of his DUI conviction, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Former Green Bay Packers running back Ahman Green is jailed in Brown County, Wisconsin, on suspicion of child abuse.

Online records show Green was booked into the jail Monday on a possible charge of child abuse-intentionally causing harm for an incident that occurred Sunday. Green was expected in court Monday afternoon.

Records do not list a defense attorney. Lammi Sports Management, which has handled Green's appearances, had no immediate comment.

The 40-year-old Green was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2014. He is the team's all-time leading rusher and a four-time Pro Bowl pick.

Green starred at Nebraska, then spent the first two seasons of his 12-year NFL career in Seattle. He played for Houston in 2007-08, but spent most of his career in Green Bay, his last season coming in 2009.

Floyd flunked FIVE fucking tests for alcohol after a super DUI or whatever they call it and gets one day in jail. What a joke.

Speaking of DUIs:

I feel positively upper class after watching that.

Michael Floyd is such a dingbat.

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Artie Burns was arrested Thursday night by Miami Beach police for driving on a suspended license, police confirmed to NFL.com.

According to the police report, an officer conducted a traffic stop on Burns, who was driving an SUV with a suspended Florida license plate tag. Burns was unable to produce a driver's license to the officer, who later determined Burns had his license suspended.

He was arrested without incident and his vehicle was impounded, the report stated. He was later released from custody, according to Miami-Dade County Corrections records.

The Steelers declined to comment on Burns' arrest.

If you have Amazon Prime make sure you watch All Or Nothing with the Rams, it's incredibly in depth and kind of morbid viewing to see a team in complete free-fall.

 

Oh, and if you don't like Gregg Williams going in, which you shouldn't, you will dislike him even more after watching this.

[TCO]

There's literally no legal way for me to watch that. Its like they don't want my money :/

With the Mets getting pooped on by their top rival and pretty much undoing all of the work they'd done over the last week - I'm now firmly in football mode despite it being two months from meaningful games.

I'm so desperate for football I'm ready to geek out and read training camp reports.

[livid]

I'm right there with you. I had to work yesterday but didn't have a ton of work to actually do so I did two fantasy mock drafts.

Dan Hampton: '80s Bears would've won 4 titles with Cutler

[Your Mom]

Dan Hampton is dumb

[jrhodes]

Jay Cutler couldn't win a Super Bowl in his prime, let alone in the 80s when he was a toddler. Stupid.

[Pooker]

Wait...is he saying that Jay Cutler is a better QB then Jim McMahon?

The Chiefs promoted co-director of player personnel Brett Veach to general manager on Monday. The development was first reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Unsurprisingly, no players were selected in the Supplemental Draft.

DeAngelo Williams on the Jags: "I can't think of anything positive about that organization outside of the fact that they have pools in the stadium."

 

He also rules out Dallas, Carolina, and Cleveland.

[Maxx]

Ah yes because Dallas was soooooooo in the market for DeAngelo Williams.

[livid]

None of those teams really are. He was just asked what teams he wouldn't play for and gave his list, Browns and Jaguars because they're bad and Carolina because of how things went when he left. He included the Cowboys because he grew up as a 49ers fan.
