First topic message reminder :

Manziel is learning school yard football doesn't cut it in the NFL.

Until he learns the basics this will continue

Crazy. Just when Geno smith was supposedly finding a some form according to preseason reports.

Smacked over not paying a guy $600 apparently.

In fairness to Geno, I'd be saving every penny I could if I was playing quarterback as poorly as him.

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:26 am

Apparently Geno threw a punch back but it landed at Eric Decker's feet.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 13, 2015 2:25 am

Unsurprisingly a case with no direct evidence and made up of assumptions is not being received well by a federal judge.

Oh and the NFL has just cited the Ray rice case as defence for Goodell handing down suspensions. You know the one that got reduced in court

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 13, 2015 7:01 pm

He cheated. He knew about the deflation of the balls, refused to hand over the evidence.

He cheated. Anything else is just a technicality, sorry.

by GSC Thu Aug 13, 2015 7:19 pm

The NFL has no case. Ted Wells report is worthless, just as it was when he produced another favorable report about the Incognito incident.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 13, 2015 8:18 pm

He probably did know about the deflation of balls - but there's no direct evidence for this, and like GSC says the report is worthless.

Let alone the fact the whole investigation took place even Carolina/Minnesota were given a 25k fine for tampering with football's earlier in the season, no investigation.

To be honest I just hope they come to a settlement and the whole ridiculous story can be over.

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 13, 2015 9:08 pm

Oh agreed, from a case standpoint the NFL is dead in the water. It really is ridiculous.

But Brady did cheat, everyone knows that.

What have the Bears done recently and which teams are the ones to watch this season?

I haven't been paying much attention to the teams this year since it was hard for me to get over Marshall. Sad

So wondered if anyone could catch me up?

The Bears have kept Jay Cutler and lost Brandon Marshall. That's all you need to know.

For all other enquiries, refer to the news Smile

Let's see how that Bears draft is doing:

@ChicagoBears wrote:Bears GM Ryan Pace announces WR Kevin White will undergo surgery on shin and miss at least first 6 games.
Bears GM Ryan Pace says possibility Kevin White could miss entire season.

Ouch.

In more general news, if anyone's a bit intimidated by the existing threads but looking for a(nother) fantasy league; still 4 expansion spots open in the IDP league (advertising slogan: "It's The One With JJ Watt In It").

Kelvin Benjamin. Ouch.

Newton now has no number 1 wideout.

A big loss. Devin Funchess did ok in their preseason game last week. They could always look as someone like Wes Welker.

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 20, 2015 10:29 pm

I'm not sure about Funchess. He's big, sure, but he's not all that fast. Plus, teams can just focus on him if he's that good.

The lack of options has to be a massive concern.

Jordy Nelson torn acl - big blow

Maurkice Pouncey high ankle sprain at least.

http://deadspin.com/watch-cris-carter-tell-nfl-rookies-to-get-a-fall-guy-1726009743

At the 2014 Rookie Symposium, Cris Carter and Warren Sapp instructed rookies to get a fall guy in case they got into any legal trouble. The above video was on NFL.com until this afternoon, when they deleted it.

by GSC Mon Aug 24, 2015 11:40 pm

Sapps the voice of experience there.

Doesn't surprise me on that count though, Sapps always been a scumbag.

To be fair, Sapp didn't open his mouth and looked a bit shocked when Carter started his soliloquy. Bridgewater was like "wtf am I doing here?".

by GSC Tue Aug 25, 2015 3:41 am

He was probably wondering why he didn't think of it

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Aug 25, 2015 6:35 am

Lol at the Colts beat guys saying we've signed Wayne to try and gain an advantage on getting Luck's plays etc - like we didn't just whoop them twice last season Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:10 am

So Sky get SNF as well - what do we think?

Not sure I can take that much Cadle/Reynolds

by Breadvan Thu Aug 27, 2015 8:24 am

No SNF on Ch4 then? Shame. It was a good show with the right mix of action and ads. Eurosport still have MNF?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 27, 2015 8:35 am

Nope that's on sky as well

by **Pr4wn** Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:02 pm

Such a shame that we won't see Carlson this season.

by Lowlandbrit Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:13 pm

Looks like you can probably add Ahmad Brooks to the list of people that won't be playing in San Francisco this season.

Sky Sports coverage is horrific. Buy GamePass if you haven't already.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 28, 2015 4:48 am

I'm presuming Sunday night football and Monday night football won't be blacked out on gamepass cos sky have it?

Nope, only two games on Sunday afternoon/evening.

Does gamepass offer red zone?

My purchase is looking better value for money already now that it is the only way I can watch the NFL now!

Olly wrote:I'm presuming Sunday night football and Monday night football won't be blacked out on gamepass cos sky have it?

SNF/MNF defo not blacked out

adams_legend wrote:Does gamepass offer red zone?

It has done the last 3 years

by NYJ Sat Aug 29, 2015 5:43 am

adams_legend wrote:Does gamepass offer red zone?

Yes. Plus NFL Network live and an archive of shows like Hard Knocks, A Football Life, Total Access and much more. You can watch any game from the past 5 years on demand too if that's what you're into. No need for Sky Sports at all and I would urge everyone to buy it.

by Number-25 Sun Aug 30, 2015 4:40 am

So RG3 after seemingly having recovered from his concussion sufficiently to practice normally this week now seemingly has significant enough symptoms to miss the rest of preseason.... funny that.

Gruden must be gutted Whistle

by mikeygnfl Sun Aug 30, 2015 6:31 am

Have just found out the news that SNF will be shown on Sky Sports. That is interesting considering Channel 4 were sending this email out to people:-

"Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding NFL: American Football Live

We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed that we are not going to be broadcasting coverage of the forth coming NFL season. Please be advised that the reason for that is because we no longer hold the rights to this particular event. We can confirm that the BBC will be broadcasting coverage of this year's games."

I wonder if that is still a possibility?

by CFCNick Sun Aug 30, 2015 8:07 am

Nope. Not a chance. Sky have been having a big song and dance about all the NFL they will have for the next two seasons.

Oh Washington: http://deadspin.com/wife-of-skins-gm-apologizes-for-accusing-espn-reporter-1728376386

There’s no point in even writing a joke here in the kicker, as nothing I could write would be funnier than the actual real life situations this football team gets itself into.

And we'd done so well keeping the team out of the news until last week. Now it's like a pot boiling up - things keep spilling out and they can't seem to turn it off. Rolling Eyes
