Seriously, what the fuck are these collars? Looks alright for the Broncos because it meshes well with the stripe on the side, but for teams like the Bills and Saints that don't have anything "fancy" like that it looks fucking retarded

Colts stayed pretty much the same. Didn't see them changing much to stay with tradition.
http://www.nikeinc.com/news/nfl-unif...s#/inline/9290 The base design of the 'technology' of the uniforms seems to be an improvement over the old ones. Player feedback from those that helped show them off seems to be pretty positive. |

Saw where Nike didn't make any radical changes to the main two jerseys (Home/Away) but they might fuck with the Alternates as a way to sell them..The Ravens alternate is the black top and I hope they dont screw with that.

They don't look that much different. I like the collars. Except for the Seahawks. It looks like someone looked at a highlighter and said, "That would make a good looking color scheme on a jersey." Why do colleges and pro teams in the Pacific Northwest always have the most out there, dramatic, pansy looking uniforms?
By the way, how much does this say about the greatness of the NFL when they're able to pull off stuff like this and have people care? Then they get the buzz back again in a couple of weeks with the draft and aftermath of that. Best run league in all of sports... minus the whole bounty thing of course. It's like how Apple gets buzz with the announcement of every new product they've ever released even though they're most likely going to resemble the one from the generation before. |

Nike is based in Oregon, although I don't know if that makes a huge difference.

New 9ers uniforms and the new Browns uniforms stayed pretty classic and clean. Pretty happy about it to be honest. Didn't want my teams to get all wonky looking. Both looks are pretty iconic anyhow, no need to change much.

Patriots one didn't change at all except for not wanting the new collars some of the other teams have.

The only big thing on the Bears uniform is going back to the older style thick GSH sleeve stripes. The Redskins uniform looks the same, so I don't know what the big deal is. The Seahawks are the only ones to make any drastic changes. |

It is the buttpad built into the girdles/tights/compression shorts. They started making them about 5-6 years ago with the hip, butt, and thigh pads built into the tights so they are lighter and provide better movement.

"I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback," Flacco said when asked where he thinks he ranks among NFL quarterbacks. "I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way. I mean, c'mon? That's not really too tough of a question.
"That doesn't mean that things are going to work out that way. It just means that's the way it is -- that's the way I feel that it is and that's the way I feel it should be." Flacco taking the Eli approach this season. |

Don't see the problem with shifting their "classic" design to the new technology. Apparently the players love the new jerseys and they allow easier movement. Just doesn't make sense to me, they're gonna make the change eventually anyway if the players really do prefer them more. Why delay the inevitable?

How long has he been in the NFL? He still doesn't know how to answer questions like that?
"Do you think you're a top 5 QB?" "Well you know that's not for me to decide. I just go out there every week and blah blah blah" |

Don't want to defend Flacks here, but every starting QB should probably answer that question the way he did. I've always liked the whole "If I don't think I'm the best, then why am I here?" mentality.

If Flacco is the best in the NFL, then Matt Moore is also playing at a Hall of Fame level

That's not really the point though. He's saying that every starting QB should believe that they are the best or have the potential to be the best. I agree with him, to be honest.

Then he needs to back it up. The best QBs in the league, guys like Brady and Brees, don't have to consistently be bailed out by their defenses, and can even win when the D is failing. By making comments like this Flacco just opens himself up to even more criticism for the coming season than he was going to face anyway. Just take the stock neutral answer and shut up

And he can think that all he wants, but that's not how the media will view it. They'll latch on to the "I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best." part, hype the shit out of it to the national audience and then suddenly Joe is under even more pressure all because of an unnecessary "well intentioned" comment

Fuck Gregg Williams. Dude should never be allowed to coach again. Dude was telling his players to hit Frank Gore in the head (read the full article, he wasn't being metaphorical), take out Crabtree's ACL (it's an unspoken rule that taking out another player's needs is off limits and most guys would rather take a head shot than have their knees chopped out), take out Vernon Davis's ankles and put big shots on a player returning from a concussion. It's one thing to tell your guys to go for big hits, it's something else to target specific body parts or injuries. The game was never meant to be that and if he was saying that about the 49ers in that playoff game, imagine what he was telling his guys to do against Favre. No sympathy for the A'ints at all. They got what they deserve. |

No, this works against them and totally fucks Williams. The NFL warned them before the playoffs last year, this shows they chose to ignore it. Whether they directly had anything to do with it is irrelevant in the NFL's eyes, they repeatedly failed to control the guy(s) they're in charge of. It happens everywhere in the world, the actions of a lowly employee can affect everyone above him on the ladder

This might actually fuck the players involved even more too since it's from the night before their most recent game. If NFL personnel weren't aware of this audio existing when they were interviewing Saints players and coaches, any player who didn't come clean about how long it was going on has been pretty much exposed as a liar and can be suspended merely for lying to the commissioner's office, let alone the bounty program.
