Bring in the subject matter expert in Brian Urlacher to judge his faking ability!!!!!! I'm sorry, but at this point it is comical. Get this guy OUTTA HERE... no cancers like Flutie and Peters.

Have you seen the wideouts they have? It is a mixed bag of garbage! Amendola- a brittle wideout who has only started SEVENTEEN games in four seasons. Edelman- the only consistent WR the Pats* have that is the only reliable WR they can count on. Dobson- a 2nd round pick this year who has failed to impress. http://www.boston.com/sports/blogs/goingdeep/2013/08/aaron_dobsons_development_rema.html Boyce- Injured early, but he's still getting into the system. Nothing he has done is that impressive. Thompkins- An undrafted free agent who could go either way- a preseason Pro Bowler or a steady producer. How will he hold up when defenses play for real?

He'll be back if we start off 3-1 though...!!!! This is a power play, pure and simple- call it what it is. No extra effort to get out there and play, but here's the thing- Bills fans would have understood if he had taken care of himself last year and rested, but now it looks petty. We should just let him fully heal and trade him. I know it is rewarding his behavior, but if he's leaving we need to move on and maintain the positive motivation and chemistry vital to win.

Cynical, are we? Remind me again who started in the NFC playoffs last season as quarterbacks. I'll wait!!!!!!!!

You mean act like Byrd?

He sounds extremely high maintenance...

I called this DAYS ago:

PLEASE... he didn't produce when the defense HANDED him a game to win by producing just a little. We had a Top Three defense, and he didn't do crap like Brad Johnson did with the Buccaneers. That says a lot.

The Yeah B word, Magnets!

No, but you didn't do anything wrong! The idea is to make sure your players are all one type of chemistry on a side (like Ground ad Pound on O or Run Stuff on D) so your team plays better. The gold cards have high chemistry, the silver next highest, then bronze.

His card goes for at least 17,000+, but of course that's his regular card, which is rated very high, in the 90s. I chose J.J. Watt because the game automatically gives you a good QB, HB, and WR.

There is a game mode called Madden Ultimate Team, or MUT, where you play games for coins and assemble a team from packs of cards and you have card auctions and trades. It is seriously fun!

Man, I'm getting pretty ticked off they have Geno Smith in MUT but no E.J. Manuel... seriously pissed!!!!

If anyone needs any help at all, I've been doing genealogy for 20 years, long before ancestry.com Just PM me!

You don't know that!!! The Patriots aren't the 16-0 team from a few years back. They are on the decline, and having Manuel in there could turn the tide. I'm not buying this at all. E.J. will start Week One, and Belichick will have little of a game plan to rest on because, as he admitted, there is little film to study.

Did anyone ever stop and think that Marrone is doing this ON PURPOSE to make Billy boy think Manuel will not start Week One to screw up his preparation? OK, continue with the sky is falling talk...

This thread needed a laugh real bad....

"Athletes can be gamers too!!" No crap.

Ba doop ching!

I guess I didn't have as much heartache with him leaving because he couldn't handle a couple of posters than I did with people actually trying to defend him, as if he was Grantland Rice or George Plimpton and was severely wronged. I could not believe that the equivalent of a stubbed toe could cause someone to cry bloody murder!

Holy crap, we actually agree... LOL I should write a piece about him and call it "The Tale of Sir Robin" This came out today as well... only legislation will move this Rock of Gibraltar! There is hope yet for PC opposition forces...! http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9375313/roger-goodell-defends-washington-redskins-name

Actually, my point went unnoticed because of the volume of this debate. The person Jim Brown obviously is not like many of the other athletes of his generation, and he has a personality problem. If the guy is a wife beater and is proven to be a jerk because of how he acts long after his playing career was over, then people have a right to call it as they see it. Here is my example HOF list of players who don't have the image problem Jim Brown does: Lenny Moore, Baltimore Colts, b. 1933: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2011-11-23/sports/bs-sp-catching-up-lenny-moore-20111123_1_joe-paterno-lenny-moore-penn-state Willie Davis, Cleveland Browns/Green Bay Packers, b. 1934: http://www.lasportshall.com/inductees/football/willie-davis/ Jim Parker, Baltimore Colts, b. 1934: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-sp.parker19jul19,0,2116898.story Did they have any less of a past of overt racism as Jim Brown did? Did they suffer any less than Jim Brown did? Probably not... he reacted poorly to the bad things that happened to him, and that's a choice he made, not anyone else.

These men don't have the same attitude or are wife beaters, and have sterling legacies: Lenny Moore, Baltimore Colts, b. 1933. Willie Davis, Cleveland Browns/Green Bay Packers, b. 1934. Jim Parker, Baltimore Colts, b. 1934. Jim Brown has an attitude problem and despite what affected him, he's still acting like he's entitled. Experiences don't justify crime, so why should we justify how Jim Brown acts?

That's how bad it can get, that's for sure... but he may be lucky and have it only partially affect his abilities to speak and to prevent further spread of the cancer.
