Does anyone know the status of Big Bens throwing arm? He got knocked pretty hard on it early in the 3rd quarter, got a welt between the elbow and shoulder according to Armen, and I think threw 2 or 3 passes after that. That, besides the fact that they have a great running game with 2 quality backs and an amazing OL. If he's at all injured and not 100% for next Sunday, might as well not even play and give Denver the AFC. Without Big Ben at 100%, they are a completely different team.

Yea - whoops - should've put that money towards NE -7.5 Oh well. I saw the Sabres up on the board and figured it was a no lose at home.

Don't forget about the pizza he got delivered to practice

I might hate the Pats - but I was smart enough to put $30 on them today at the local sports book. No way were they going to win by less than 8 points against a team from Florida in a home playoff game with Brady and Belichik. Ok, now lose next week Pats when I bet against you

Just came back from the sports book betting on the NFL and got the Sabres "pick em" so I had to take it. At home against the Devils on a Saturday?? Money in the bank

I thought of the exact same thing today when I saw the news.

I liken Capers to guys like Dick Lebeau, Gregg Williams, Wade Phillips - all one-time head coaches who were promoted from being defensive assistants, and then promptly demoted back. And they all do much better as DC than as HC - not many guys that can go from being a quality assistant to being a quality HC. Capers would be fine IMO as a DC here. But obviously a new HC with a new mentality is needed, first and foremost.

And the emergence of Crowell at LB.

I work at MGM, saw the weigh-in before the fight in July, it was pretty intense itself, even though they were only on stage for about 5 minutes. Been a big story locally here the last week or so, there's not much else going on sports-wise, except for the National Finals Rodeo at Thomas and Mack Should be a great fight, I think. Hopkins is the favorite in the books here, but don't count out Taylor's youth and fire.

The part of the trade that makes no sense to me is the Vilma AND a #1 pick for Rivers. I can see Rivers-Vilma or Rivers-#1/#2 pick, but not the combination, seems like too much to give up from the Jets perspective, despite the desparation they may have for a QB if Pennington's not healthy.

Luckily for the Sunday Night crew someone hit a career/personal milestone tonight -- Martin moved to #4 all time - someone for them to goo over for the week.

Now with 2 drug related arrests?? Alot of talent should not outweigh two clear violations of the law. Although on the first I know he pleaded no contest basically admitting guilt and this one has yet to go to court, but that's two times two many for the HOF IMO.

Yea, when I see stuff like that is what is said, I don't really mind living on the west coast and basically not watching the pregame shows at all. I'm not missing much, apparently.

Makes no sense to me - why would the Jets trade away the best young linebacker and what will be a top 5 pick for a QB that's played 2 downs in the NFL? That would be highway robbery for the Chargers. So it would never happen IMO.

Was just thinking about the SB earlier - regardless of the NFC rep they will get smoked by the AFC team - be it Indy, Pittsburgh, Denver, Cincy, etc. The AFC-NFC disparity is not as big this year as last year, but the top 5 teams or so in each league do not even compare.

Looked to me like both were good catches. Of course I have Eli and Toomer on my fantasy team so that may cloud my vision. The Eli-Toomer TD was definite IMO, both feet down. FYI highlights on PT now.

Agreed. If at all, its a 5 yarder. Although it should have been nothing, like you said, since it was incidental.

Did he call him Preppy?

Agree completely. I used to have to set my alarm to get up for the home games when I had season tix at 7 am and if it was a road game I got up whenever, never after noon or so. Now I set my alarm for 8:30 am and am always scrambling to get to the bar by 10 am. It's tough to get used to, definitely. However the 5:30 SNF starting time and 6 MNF starting time are awesome. First week this year, since I just moved to Vegas in May, I was about to go to bed after the Colts-Ravens SN'er and realized it was about 9pm. That's sweet.

Eeeeeeeeeeeasy now lol. I work there and I paid full price. We made a prett penny on the shows, but a great majority went to the band, label, et. al. No where near $100 per ticket. We don't make our money on the shows themselves. Yea before "One" Bono was talking about playing some type of fundraiser for the Gulf Coast and Mary J Blige played with them and she was a great singer, etc. I thought who cares. Then halfway through she comes out and sings the rest of the song. IMO ruined one of their best songs. Although they made up for it in the encore by bringing out Brandon Flowers (The Killers - native of Las Vegas) to sing on "In a Little While" and it was great. Mary J does not do a good Bono, though.

Love the start time now that I'm in Las Vegas. Just got home from work, the game is already on. Wouldn't mind an earlier start time, I usually get home at 6pm, so not a big deal there. Sunday nighters are nice as well.

No - here's the setlists for the shows, Vegas is about halfway down. They play almost the same show every night, but no I Will Follow last week. Although I heard somewhere that Mysterious Ways was kind of a rarity. Oh and the production of the show was amazing, I was quite impressed, even with all of the expecatation. http://www.u2setlists.com/vertigo-leg3.shtml

I just hope OJ finds the real killers one day. He's such a great guy and all.

Saw them last week in Las Vegas, it was an awesome show. Glad I got a chance to see the show, as it sold out in minutes, bought the tickets from a friend.

Just had a false start. What a great contribution.
