Just about sums up the 49ers/Cardinals game.

[ClockShot]

Chicago is 0-3.


They can send Adam Gase back to Denver anytime they're ready. His offense worked for Peyton Manning.

[road doggy dogg]

maybe the Lions have a chance to finish better than the Bears in the north

[Ruien]

How long is Cutler out? Bears have 0 chance of winning a game without him.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bears cleaning house a bit. Traded Jared Allen to Panthers for a conditional 2016 6th Round draft pick and Jon Bostic to the Pats for 2016 6th Round draft pick.

[Droford]

Sooo Droford, remind me again, how many games will Baltimore win?

Gonna be 3-3 after the next 3, just wait

According to ESPN, that hasn't happened since Week 14 of the 2013 season.

[Innovator]

Giants are working out Hakeem the Dream Nicks, Wes Welker, and Chris Cooley today

[Innovator]

I would be ok with Cooley coming in

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I love Wes Welker. He helped us win a Super Bowl.</font>

[Droford]

The Ravens should be calling them too. Outside of Steve Smith they have a steaming pile of shit for WR depth

[road doggy dogg]

Steve Smith is the best player ever though so that's okay. Legit prolly my all-time fav player

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Only 3 weeks into the NFL season and there are already a ton of columns about whether or not the Pats will go undefeated. Wow.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Like...I get it. If they were ever going to be motivated to take a dump on the rest of the league, this is clearly the year for it. And their schedule is incredibly favorable.

But there's a reason it's only happened once. I think you need to go at least 8-0 or something before it becomes a real discussion.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wait...what? Saints and Drew Brees agree to a contract restructure, freeing up around $2.5 million in cap space this year but bumping his cap hit next year to about $30 million, highest in the league.

So they decided it was important to save money on this year's cap despite the season basically already being in the toilet (0-3 with 2 division rivals already at 3-0) than it was to just eat the money now and give themselves more flexibility for next year.

Dumb.</font>

Pats-Saints trade:

Pats traded TE Michael Hoomanawanui to the Saints and got DT Akiem Hicks in return.

The joke is probably on Drew Brees they'll just cut him instead after the season and blow it up in NO

Steelers released Josh Scobee and signed Chris Boswell as their new kicker.

3rd kicker for them this season and already have $6 million tied up in the salary cap because of that problem.

[parkmania]

Should've signed Landon Donovan instead. He was reportedly interested.

[McLegend]

I want to see that.

[Ruien]

Feel like PHI would be so much better with Foles.

[McLegend]

The Eagles offensive line is horrible which has caused Bradford to never look down field.

He's too afraid he's going to get hit to throw the ball.

[Ruien]

What happened to the line? It was badass last year.

[McLegend]

Chip Kelly cut 2 lineman

[Ruien]

Sounds like Chip. Really wanted PHI to win the division too.

[McLegend]

I want Landon Donovan right now.

[Emperor Smeat]

The Eagles offensive line is horrible which has caused Bradford to never look down field.

He's too afraid he's going to get hit to throw the ball.

He wasn't that good in St Louis with a decent line either though. Think ESPN had some stat about him being the worst or 2nd worst QB when it came to blitzes.

[McLegend]

I'm not that mad.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow at that missed FG for the Saints.

[Ruien]

Giants look like the favorite for their division. I can't believe I am thinking that either. They should trade for Forte.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I was very impressed with what I saw from the Giants yesterday. Yes the Bills shot themselves in the foot with a ton of penalties, but the defense actually looked really good.

They'd be 4-0 right now if not for those 4th quarter meltdowns but regardless things have broken the right way for them to pull ahead and build a lead in the division. Need to keep doing what they're doing and avoid the letdown game vs. SF next week.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>also re: Forte, not sure how much of a help he'd be. He'd be an improvement to the current roster certainly, but I think Jennings/Vereen/Williams are a good trio and the fact that they haven't been able to get a whole lot going speaks more to the O-line's lack of run blocking ability than anything else.</font>

[road doggy dogg]

I wasn't watching fully because Lions weren't playing/had a hockey draft/just don't care about football as much, but while casually watching Redzone it seemed like there were a LOT of missed FGs yesterday. Anyone have a total tally of all the missed kicks

[Nark Order]

The 9ers offense is really garbage. Felt really bad for the defense because they held off Rodgers for so long when everybody thought Rodgers was going to torch them for like 75 points.

And now every Packers fan forgets that the 9ers beat them all the time.

[Nark Order]

There's been some weird rules in the past couple of years. The Niners always beat the Packers (until now) despite them for the most part being better. And the Giants always beat the 9ers no matter how bad of a record the Giants have.

[ClockShot]

Dolphins fire Joe Philbin.

Also supposedly the Fins practice squad hates Ryan Tannehill.
On Saturday during practice, [Ryan] Tannehill, after a couple of practice squad players forced turnovers, Tannehill made negative comments toward them, including saying: “Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy.”

Sources say this has been going on for the past few weeks as the practice squad players have been intercepting Tannehill and frustrating the former Texas A&M wide receiver turned quarterback.

And now every Packers fan forgets that the 9ers beat them all the time.

Why do you think every Packers fan forgets that? Them remembering it is probably why they enjoy playing them now that they're bad.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow Lions at that fumble.

[#1-norm-fan]

They'd be 4-0 right now if not for those 4th quarter meltdowns but regardless things have broken the right way for them to pull ahead and build a lead in the division.

They were practically begging for another meltdown yesterday. Up by 14 inside Buffalo's 10 yard line with just under 4 minutes left. Run the ball, run time off and kick a field goal to go up by 3 scores and you essential kill any chance of a comeback. Instead they call a pass... and Eli throws a pick. lolwhat

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, I don't know what the fuck this McAdoo guy is thinking with some of his playcalls. He overthinks things at times. Coughlin never overrides him, either because he's a believer in just letting his coordinators call all the plays no matter what.

Fortunately the defense was on point for the most part and the Bills cocked things up with penalties as well.</font>

[Clerk]

Jimmy fucking Haslam. This is a point of a Browns fan motherfucker! We wear other teams hats now. Not only are your colors and name an embarrassment. Who the fuck names a team off another man. Should have gave the Ravens the fucking name when they took the fucking team. Baltimore Browns. No one wants to have caramel corn fucking colors or candy corn whatever. Jimmy Haslam, you have a fucking ability right now to change this shit. Fire that piece of shit fat faced faggot Mike Pettine. By the way, Kyle Shanahan got out of his contract last year wanted the fuck out of Cleveland didn't he. You should have just said "You know what Kyle, Stop! Were going to fire the rest of the coaching staff your the new coach you hire whoever the fuck you want". Jimmy Haslam look i hate Mike Pettine, I swear to fucking god I hope he gets the worst form of fucking disease out there the guys a fucking joke. You have the ability to change this franchise. I know people say "You can't get new coaches every year" Well in this case you have to until you get it right. No sense in keeping a guy who fucking sucks on the fucking job. Case and point I expect Johnny Manziel to be named the starter for the rest of the fucking year. And I'm not one of these fucking guys like "Oh Johnny Manziel's great he's gotta fucking play" No I just wanna see what we got in him. Were going nowhere with that pussy ass soft fucking pussy defense. You can't get to the quarterback, you can't tackle, you can't cover anybody. You're $100 million cornerback is getting abused like a fucking tampon he's a fucking garbage. It's time to fucking put Manziel in. Don't put him in to hand the fucking ball off put him in to play the fucking game like he did in college. IT'S TIME TO DO IT NOW! I want Pettine gone. Honestly if Mike Pettine somehow miraculously wins the superbowl this year I want that fat faced fucking slob gone. I want everything gone about him. He's playing richto tech football in 2015. I want him gone.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ryan Tannehill talking about a trophy? When he has he ever done anything?

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems like the NFL doesn't want the Rams to stay in St. Louis based on recent stuff trying to keep the team in the city. Mostly in regards to a possible naming rights deal for a new stadium having a lower payout fee than they'd like or dwarfed by whatever a LA team would get instead.

NFL already cleared a possible stepping stone for a move to LA by having the Rams owner tweak his ownership of teams in other leagues. NFL has rules against cross-ownership if those teams are in different cities.

National Car Rental secured the naming rights to the proposed riverfront stadium in St. Louis on Wednesday, pledging $158 million over 20 years. The agreement hinges on an NFL team -- the city is fighting to keep the Rams -- playing in the venue.

The move wasn't well-received by some in the NFL, however. They were puzzled that the deal was announced while league owners were meeting and didn't view the $7.9-million per year accord as particularly lucrative.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones jabbed the deal in a conversation with the Sports Business Journal, saying the amount "would buy a lobby" in an L.A. stadium.

The last time naming rights were sold for a proposed NFL stadium, Farmers Insurance pledged $700 million over 20 years for AEG's project in downtown L.A.

AEG abandoned the project -- known as Farmers Field -- earlier this year.

Neither of the current proposed stadiums in L.A. have sold naming rights.

[ClockShot]

Waiting for Wade Phillips and the defense to take OC Rick Dennison off to the side in the locker room and tell him to get his shit together. Defense bailed out Peyton and the offense for the 2nd week in a row.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Colts should forfeit. They will be emotionally compromised next week.

[Innovator]

All is right in the world for a week at least

[Droford]

Psh. Ravens can easily go 12-4 and win the division + super bowl still. Easily.

Didn't see half the team getting hurt and the defense suddenly becoming one of the worst in the 20 year history of the Ravens.

Seriously if Forsett is hurt they'll be going with

3rd string rookie TE
3Rd string Rookie RB
On the Practice Squad last week guy at 3rd WR and 4th/5th guy wasn't even on the team last week.

That wouldn't be bad if the defense was up to pay but half the defense ended up hurt yesterday (dumervil, Webb Arrington and Davis)which pretty much explains how Josh McCown was able to throw for almost 500 yards...

Had they won yesterday I could have seen them making a desperate play to trade for Roddy White from the Falcons but that's not happening.

[screech]

I like Buck Allen.

[screech]

Also read a RUMOR a week or so ago that said BAL was "looking at" Golden Tate because he is "frustrated" with his role.

I would love it (he'd be cheaper than White at least), but that won't happen.

[Evil Vito]

FBI and Justice Department recently opened probes against Draft Kings, Fan Duels, and other daily fantasy betting sites.

The [Wall Street] Journal says there is an “ongoing discussion” within the DOJ regarding the legality of daily fantasy, and whether it actually exempt from the Uniform Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

The New York Attorney General has already asked the two most prominent daily fantasy sites, DraftKings and FanDuel, to turn over heaps of documents, in addition to inquiries from the Massachusetts Attorney General, two congressional committees, and a federal agency.

Continuing their tone deaf public posturing, DraftKings responded to the Journal by blaming the media for their recent problem

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It should be exempt. It follows the guidelines.

1. It is not dependent on one team wins, loss, or score. Every game can effect what happens in Fantasy football.
2. It based on knowledge and skill rather than luck of the draw, roll, or spin.

Nevads recently ruled Draft Kings, Fan Duels, and other daily fantasy betting sites are considered as legal gambling. All got banned in the state until they get a gambling license.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

We win.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not as satisfying as it could have been. But Pats win :D

[NormanSmiley]

Really hope your whole family dies in a horrible fire tonight now

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If you aren't a Colts fan fuck off. If you are one, eh fuck off anyways.

[NormanSmiley]

Not a colt fan

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Then shut the fuck up.

[Shisen Kopf]

NormanSmiley gonna go 0-2 in real life fights. Beat his ass STD!

[Ruien]

Colts played to loose. There is no need for that many risky plays. At least they will be able to get some momentum off this with Luck's performance and knowing they can hang with the Pats will help in the playoffs.

[road doggy dogg]

1-15 baby

[NormanSmiley]

Typical fucking patriots fan,clueless shithead

[road doggy dogg]

when did Clerk get his name/avatar changed

[McLegend]

Let's get pumped.

[McLegend]

I do think The Giants are good.

I think The Eagles win tonight.

[Innovator]

I think Sam Bradford will have a career night

[McLegend]

Can The Eagles have 1 good opening drive?

Fuck this 3 and out shit.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Damn, nice strip INT from the Eagles. Giants offense has been looking good at least.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That Eagles drive was all on Damontre Moore with his dumbass 3rd down penalty</font>

[McLegend]

Lol stupid Giants penalty

[McLegend]

Hate Byron Maxwell

[Ruien]

Lets go PHI!

[Ruien]

Hope Murray has another good game. Fuck Jerry Jones.

[Innovator]

Giants really don't want to win tonight, or are shaving points

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Crucial INT there. Can't afford to fall behind 2 TDs.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Giants look like absolute shit in this one.</font>

[Innovator]

Yeah this looks to be their annual shit the bed game

[Ruien]

If the Eagles win tonight are they in first? Hope they run away with the division after this week.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>noted racist Riley Cooper getting injured warms my heart</font>

[NormanSmiley]

Whoever wins is in first

[NormanSmiley]

Was hoping riley cooper would have to be helped off the field by two black trainers, who in turn would drop him

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>welp, this game is over</font>

[NormanSmiley]

Long way to go

[NormanSmiley]

Lol chip kelly

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Marshall Newhouse is a fucking human turnstile</font>

[Ruien]

Giants D, while getting shitted on, are doing enough for RDD to beat me in Fantasy Football.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Raw ratings better raise. This game was terrible.

[Simple Fan]

Fred Jackson wrecked his Corvette drag racing Marshawn Lynch outside the Seahawks facility. Teammates helped Jackson as Lynch drove away.

[Clerk]

Broncos are so overrated or the browns are jsut good you choose

[ClockShot]

Broncos offense sucks, Broncos defense rules.


It's a coin flip.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Brandon LaFell is back. Bow down to the Kings again.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Anybody getting up to stream the yahoo London game?

[screech]

I watched about 5 plays of it. EJ Manuel threw his second INT, then Yeldon ran through everyone for a touchdown.

That's enough until 1:00.

[Ruien]

Was a really good game. Bortles came through at the end like a beast.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Colts punishment tour continues. 0-20 against Saints. :)

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fucking eh LaFell.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

10 more years.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Shitttt

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Game over 10 second runoff

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>If the Giants find a way to lose against the Romo-less and Dez-less Cowboys, they probably won't beat Dallas for the rest of this decade.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You can always just turn face and join your fellow New Englanders.

[Ruien]

Colts punishment tour continues. 0-20 against Saints. :)

I love how you hate Indy so much because the Patriots decided to cheat (again). You are a very daft (and sad) person.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If that could be proven Brady would have had his suspension stand. Has anybody died in Jim Irsay's house this year?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It was fun for a few weeks but the Giants are back to looking like a miserably bad football team.</font>

[Ruien]

If that could be proven Brady would have had his suspension stand. Has anybody died in Jim Irsay's house this year?

You are seriously that daft. Brady is not suspended because the punishment was to harsh and there was no evidence that he was directly related.

Did the punishment on the organization go away? No. Fucking hell, are you retarded? That is a serious question.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL Dallas did everything they could to let the Giants pull away and the Giants defense is all "nah"

No fucking way the Giants are winning this game</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LONG LIVE THE REVERSE JINX!!!</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Forgot how satisfying it feels to beat Dallas. Guess that's what happens when you go nearly 3 calendar years without doing it.

Fair play to the Giants special teams today. They seem to be markedly improved this year.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You are seriously that daft. Brady is not suspended because the punishment was to harsh and there was no evidence that he was directly related.

Did the punishment on the organization go away? No. Fucking hell, are you retarded? That is a serious question.

Only because they didn't challenge the punishment just wanted it over. They thought if they didn't challenge it that Goodell would go easier on Brady. The evidence in the report was nothing. They just didn't press it but they could have.

Are you retarded?

[Ruien]

So then you are telling me the balls were the correct PSI during the games. Just like the Colts balls. Right?

You really think the Patriots would have done that severe of a punishment if they did nothing wrong? Seriously? Feel like you are one of those cashiers at WalMart that still fucks up their job.

Colts lol

[ClockShot]

Lions do a bit of housecleaning and ax the offensive coordinator, and a couple o-line coaches.

So, if the Lions can't right the ship, is Caldwell gone after this season?

[road doggy dogg]

thank christ

[#1-norm-fan]

Cool Matt Cassel experiment. Kellen Moore now, plz.

[road doggy dogg]

oh good, "deflategate" is back in the news

leaning more and more towards scrapping my interest in the NFL altogether after this season

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Time for the Pats to challenge their penalty too. Fuck Gooddell and fuck him good.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>meh, at this point I just tune out any and all off the field bullshit and just focus on watching the games on Sundays.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

Not surprised since the NFL made it clear when the original decision was made they were appealing. Today just made it official but think the appeal case won't happen till after the season anyways.

NFL would be foolish to want it rushed since the judge already hinted if it goes back to him, the NFL will still lose. Appeals Court is only going to remove the precedent part of his decision and not actually rule in favor of the NFL.

[screech]

Well, at least my fantasy team is decent.

[Ruien]

oh good, "deflategate" is back in the news

I am not that far gone yet but it is getting bad. Need to stop watching ESPN I think. Is Foxsports just as bad?

[Emperor Smeat]

Texans cut Ryan Mallett earlier today. Reached their breaking point with his antics and lateness.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien wanted him released late last week but the team was worried about just bringing 1 QB for the game against Miami.

[Mercenary]

LOL silly Dolphins

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Pats won.

As good as the offense has been, didn't think the defense would be as good as they have been going into this season.

NFL and police investigating claims made by former Bears Jeremiah Ratliff about considering doing a mass shooting at the Bears training facility prior to getting released by the team.

Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Jeremiah Ratliff said he "felt like killing everybody" at the team facility the day before he was released by the Bears, according to a police report.

Ratliff also called himself "the devil" and said he wanted staff members' children to die, the report said.

On Oct. 21, reporters observed Ratliff and general manager Ryan Pace having an animated conversation in front of the Bears' Halas Hall facility around 11:30 a.m. CT while the rest of the team was on the practice field. Multiple sources confirmed the Bears asked Ratliff to leave the facility because they felt he was not in the proper condition to work that day. Sources added that Ratliff later returned to the building several times before leaving for good ...

Ratliff, who was believed to have owned "multiple firearms," was described in the report as "very angry and irrational."

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure if its worthy of the -gate tag but Buggate might be the newest gate in the NFL depending on how much it spreads.

Supposedly the Jets were a bit paranoid about their lockeroom going into the Pats game at Gillette stadium and asked the NFL for it to be swept to find any "bugs" or listening devices.

Pats responded by saying they have asked the NFL for a while to sweep visiting teams locker rooms since they think teams are either trying to plant their own bugs to blame the Pats or defuse the growing paranoia the league has.

NFL themselves revealed they do random sweeps of lockerooms from time to time during the season but didn't do it this time just because the Jets requested it. Nor did they sweep it because the Pats asked.

Concerns regarding the presence of bugs in Gillette Stadium locker rooms aren’t new; it was one of the main points made last month in an article from Sports Illustrated regarding suspicions about the Patriots. No listening devices ever have been found in any locker rooms in the Patriots stadium.

As one source has explained it to PFT, the Patriots have become concerned that a team eventually will plant bugs on its own and claim that the Patriots put them there. This has prompted the Patriots to ask the league to certify before each game that the visiting locker room is clean before an opposing team enters. Per the source, the NFL has declined to do this.

Fantasy betting site Fan Duel got hit with a class action lawsuit by NFL players in regards to using their likeness and names without permission for commercials. Unlike Draft Kings, Fan Duels doesn't have an actual deal with the NFLPA to allow them to use players for advertising.

Redskins Pierre Garcon filed the lawsuit on behalf of the players.

PONTIAC, MI — The Pontiac Silverdome will be torn down in 2016.

According to a report from the Detroit Free Press, the owner of the 127-acre property the old home of the Detroit Lions sits on has decided to knock the stadium down to make the land easier to sell.

Over the summer, the stadium went up for sale for around $30 million. CBRE realtor Robert Mihelich told MLive, at the time, the number was flexible, though.

The current owner is Toronto-based Triple Properties, a development company run by Andreas Apostolopoulos and his son, Steve Apostolopoulos.

They purchased the Silverdome for $583,000 in 2009 — less than 1 percent of the initial $55.7 million it cost to build in 1975 — and are reneging on a commitment to redevelop the former Detroit Lions stadium.

A broker with CBRE told the Free Press on Thursday that "It is going to come down..."

The decision is dictated by feedback received while trying to sell the building.

The owners in February launched a design competition, soliciting redevelopment ideas from the general public. The contest deadline was April 12, and the winner who presented the best idea was scheduled to be announced in May or June, according to the contest website, which is still active.

The Silverdome property has a 2014 assessed market value of about $2.1 million, according to the Oakland County Assessor's Office.

Recently, it's only been crumbling.

The Free Press reports the Silverdome will begin going through the demolition process this spring.

Kind of sad, really...the place where Joe Montana won his 1st Super Bowl and where WrestleMania III happened will soon be gone.

Probably not a shock though, given the way the building was treated since it closed to events.

:-\

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Funny how they had games in England before Canada. Isn't it ronic?

> - O _)

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>looking pretty much like every Giants/Saints game in the dome. Brees is just effortlessly connecting on one deep pass after another.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

I have no faith in the Saints/Drew Brees not shitting the bed here...

[Innovator]

I have no faith in the Saints/Drew Brees not shitting the bed here...

They won't, Goants have some mental thing about Brees in New Orleans

[#1-norm-fan]

That was when the Saints/Brees were good at home.

Nowadays they have a knack for giving games away. Doing things like... throwing bad INTs in the opponent's territory in the second half of a close game.

Oh hey, look at that.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That game is just about over. Only reason the Giants were able to make up a 2 score deficit is because they had the benefit of getting the ball twice in a row via halftime.</font>

[OssMan]

STFU Vito Cruz

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Giants are definitely going to find a way to blow this.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Not much doubt that this is going to end on an Eli INT. Too much has gone right for him today.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Jesus christ

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Miss it I need Sneed to get a few more meaningful points and the game winning TD in OT.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Giants and Mets going down in flames on the same day. Start spreadin' the news!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol after being the heroes last week the special teams unit comes back down to earth and blows it.

The NFC East is a fucking abortion</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Vito losing his reverse jinx powers. Excellent.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yes. I got greedy.</font> :(

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>only thing I don't get...the facemask was the right call, but the refs had huddled and said no penalty. How did they then huddle again and suddenly decide to change it? Based on the crowd reaction they probably showed the replay on the video board but the refs really aren't supposed to use that stuff as replays aren't subject to official review.

It's probably irrelevant anyway. Brees would have gotten his 8th TD in OT anyway. He wasn't going to be denied.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Wish Dallas could find a backup QB who is only "sorta" bad.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Backups who are only sorta bad are starters elsewhere.
