Official NFL Thread

The Bears couldn't give Cuntler away.

I heard a rumor that Cutler was trading in his Pampers for Pull-Ups this year, he's a big boy now!

Jason Pierre Paul is the latest to show how dumb NFL players can be. The Giants took back their $60M contract offer after his fireworks accident.

John Madden's take on Brett Favre.

You can't make this stuff up.

Dummies must be watching too much "Ballers" on HBO

With or without Ringmaster Rex, the NYJ Circus continues.

I usually find most of the summer months boring for sports. I'm not much of a baseball fan and the NBA play-offs go on and on forever it seems. I'm so ready for football both NFL and college. Even though there's things about both I don't like including scandals, ultra high tix prices, and other stuff, still my overall favorite sport.

I just talked to DirecTV and to keep me on board they are giving me Sunday ticket for free. Wooohoooo!!!

Nice. Red Zone was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

I got it free last year but it didnt include the red zone channel or the mobile app
To watch on your phone. Wonder if yours will have it.

I had no idea you could do that!

Here's to the bengals not shitting the bed in the playoffs again this year! Whodey!

You might have to upgrade your phone for it to work. Check with Directv to make sure.

Always sucks to see this stuff dude. If anyone can survive a loss like this, I think it's the packers though.

Kelvin Benjamin and panthers though... That's another story.

Horrible news. Adams seems like he's ready to step up. The Pack is deep with talent but there's no replacing that dude.

He is probably the #3 non-replaceable piece of the team after Rodgers and Matthews. That is a brutal blow, it'll be exciting to see the young receivers but not sure they can excel this year without him. Sad day, I'm sick of preseason

guess who's back!!! .......Patriots all the way again ......going for another back to back championships.

Horrible call in Saints-Texans pre-season game in N.O. Superdome today.
Isn't pre-season supposed to give a chance for players/coaches/refs a chance to get in the swing of things, and to help get the fans pumped up for the start of the new season.
All would have been forgiven if the refs had just got together and picked up the flag and announced that no penalty was committed.
But no, they let the penalty stand. Announcers also sounded surprised and disappointed.
They called Texans defensive back for hitting a defenseless receiver and all he did was go for the ball and almost intercepted it.
He did not target the head of the receiver, and did not lead with his helmet.

Just makes you lose interest in "the new NFL".
Guess I'll just skip NFL this year till about 2 weeks before play-offs start.

End rant. Back to pinball.

Gotta call Directv to see what kind of NFL ticket deal they will do for me.

Going to Vegas the following week for fantasy drafts. Man I'm ready for some football.

What is Rogers gonna do at TE Flanker?

Scandrick out for the season for the Cowboys.

I hate this game sometimes.

I'm pretty upbeat at this time of year. If everything goes right, Titans could potentially double their win total from 2014!

Major blow for the Boys, Claiborne and the rookie Byron Jones are gonna make huge strides. Scandrick was by far the best cover guy and the glue for that D and now they are in big trouble with the receivers in that division.

The Giants may sneak in and surprise everyone in the NFC east

Should be a fun year.

Dish Network has been pissing me off lately....been with them for 18 years! Think I'm going to switch to Direct TV and get the NFL Ticket thrown in.

Lions (I know) but they were 11-5 last year. Lost some depth on D (Suh and Fairley) but looks like they are going to open up the offense a little more this year and they picked up an exciting RB in Ameer Abdullah. I think they can repeat at 11-5 and hopefully win a playoff game this time around.

I can't understand why Dallas didn't do more before Scandrick was hurt to get more experienced CB's on the team. Clairborne hasn't impressed me so far so I hope you're right and he has improved. Maybe Dallas will pick up another coverage guy off of waivers. I think Dallas will be good again this year. But don't think they have a great defense and I'm also concerned about their running game. Don't see a Super Bowl trip happening.

Only 5 days until REAL football!

Yeah, I seen that… BS! Those A-Holes should be banned for the year… FOREVER! I get pissed at refs all the time but this was downright beyond dirty. An on field assault. Using helmets and shoulder pads as weapons. F**KING THUGS!

Make no mistake about it, those two players could easily be criminally prosecuted for battery. Ridiculous! I'd like to know more about the story, because it would not surprise me to learn that they were in fact prosecuted. Edit: this just happened, so the investigation is now underway.

(fun fact of the day: technically, from a legal standpoint, I don't think they could be charged with "assault" as the ref never saw it coming)

It will be interesting to see what happens here. Assault versus battery… interesting! I had to google it.

Lol, I had to go back and rewatch that in slo mo. He definitely has some of that Troy Polamalu hair… never noticed before.

On a side note… do you think the coach made this call?

Probably even if he didn't!

Where is Trilogy? I want a beer/shirt bet on the upcoming bears/pack opener?

Looking for the spread on game day, whatever that ends up being.

6pack if Trilogy wins. Some cool shirt when I win (I am due for a win).

WoWza! Too rich for my blood.

I fuckin' crushed our draft Flank. Want to make a side bet this year?
