The NFL has reportedly suspended 16 more players for violation of its substance-abuse policy. The Associated Press reported that of the 16 names 12 are starters on their respective teams. While an official announcement is expected from NFL Commissioner, Paul Tagliabue at a formal press conference Tuesday morning, the respective coaches have already been notified. Players that are rumored to be on the suspension list are: Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper, Raiders WR Randy Moss, Chargers RB Ladainian Tomlinson, Dolphins rookie RB Ronnie Brown and WR David Boston, Browns RB William Green, Denver RBs Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson, Eagles DE Javon Kearse, Colts WR Reggie Wayne, Patriots DE Richard Seymore and Panthers DE Julius Peppers. The others on the suspension list include Patriot LB Dan Klecko, Seahawks DE Joe Tafoya, Buccaneers CB Juran Bolden and Raiders T Chad Slaughter.
The report states that the players named will be suspended for the first four regular-season games without pay. For Cleveland RB William Green, the penalty may be more severe. He was suspended for violating the same league policy during the 2003 season and was forced to sit out 4 games and enter a diversionary program. Miami WR David Boston falls into the same fate as this would be his second violation.
The suspended players will be allowed to attend team meetings and work out, but they can't practice with the team during their suspensions. The league changed a rule this season to allow suspended players to participate in some club functions. Under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, all NFL suspensions are confidential. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello would only confirm the suspensions.

Its Wednesday... are they going to make a move or not? Might they let Lindell play this one game, and then release him, or does that do something with the cap? Season is approaching TD, put down that crackpipe and let us know whats up.

I think your team sucks... haha!
Actually it looks pretty good, just have a question how many teams and how many points you get for tackles on D. You will probably lead the league in tackles with your starting trio, but if you don't get many points for that, or less points for that than interceptions, turnovers, etc. you may be hurting in that aspect. Your biggest gamble is Collins, and i have him on one of my teams, so i am praying right along beside you that he has a 30 Touchdown year. If he does i win my league because i have moss too. Really good draft, and good luck.

can we get a link or something to verify this... or is it just radio reports?
-
I don't mind the move, and maybe in order to ensure that he is here for the next few years we had to sign him otherwise somebody else would have, but i wonder about the fact that he has no time to build chemistry with moorman or the holder in the next week. It may not matter, but if i see a punt snap that goes to high or too low, or through moorman's fingers, i will really be bothered by this.
That being said, i wonder if moorman was given a say on this roster move. Think TD and MM said, "We have a chance to get this guy, do you think it will make an impact on you in a negative way?"

Who the heck is Schneck, and does anybody know more about him... is he a stud field goal snapper to go with France our hopeful new kicker.
-
Not only that, but if he gets hurt, you or his mom need to be there or you will never forgive yourself. I am a hockey mom and I've missed many a Bills game and Yankees games and Sabres games, but I just tell myself I have the rest of my life to watch those games but only a little while to watch my boy grow up donig something he loves and something I love watching him do. They grow up all too fast, enjoy it while it lasts.
Surely feels like time moves slow from a relative young man's perspective.

I had a similar thought the other day.... mostly about Gray... Who would step up to follow in his shoes if he were to get a HC job? I think he is invaluable to this team and we should be very thankful he is here. I was very happy to read an article where the list of the next few coordinators to get a HC job didn't include JG. I wish him all the best, but Jerry i hope you remain in buffalo for a long time.

My Dad was unable to go tp my games, and I remember for quite a while looking for him in the stands. I wouldnt be comfortable with myself missing my son's games games, especially since I can record the games on TV. I can watch the DVD's anytime, I cant say the same about his games.
Hire someone to videotape his games... Even better, make sure he is similar in appearance to you, have him sit way in the back and put the camera over his face and you will be golden... just don't tell your wife you are at the pub watching the game.
-
Hmmm, his NFL E numbers don't look too great from 30-39 (don't get me wrong much better than Lindell), that being said, does anyone know if its a windy day at the ralph? i would feel a lot more confident if we signed him after watching him kick in at least windy conditions.

My message retracted with the evidence shown now.... And i worked for a college basketball team, you would be surprised how fickle some athletes are, a certain amount of water, not too much sun on road-trips to warm climates. We were in Hawaii for seven days a few years back, and nobody went to the beach until the sixth day, after our final game. Depends on the player i guess, my experience is that the most important thing is winning, and if a flight, or an evening out will slow you down just a little bit, it isn't worth it. To each his own...
-
you will be a bit low regardless, so it may be a bit tougher to see over the players... to see the entire field... but it sounds like the 4th row on the 50 is your best bet
-
Thats what i was thinking, but it is possible to catch a flight after practice and get back in time for the next practice... so it is possible that it was him... however i do doubt it because athletes of the highest caliber take care of their bodies 100% leading up to a game, and being on a plane that much in a short time will dehydate you, and if you are sluggish in one days practice, you will be sore the next, and that means his first day he might be feeling fine is Thursday. A big price to pay just to be at your alma mater's game

Just have to wait until wednesday until the first real injury report is released. Also there is penalties if you lie or cover things up, so we will find out in due time.

Another lousy "retro" park. If you are sitting along the baselines past 3rd or 1st, you spend your time with your neck cranked left or right as the case may be. Reminds me of Offerman Stadium.
That's why such were dumped in the first place. Too bad they came back. Picturesque, yes, but a bad thing for the serious fan...it HURTS after 9 innings!
Hey SiC, i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about as i am not a big baseball fan, and have never been to a major league park, and it was five years at least since i was at dunn tire park... care to offer a bit more of a description for the ignorant folk?
Thanks,
Brian

Anybody want to guess what the first play MM will run on offense... For the most part the first series is scripted on wednesday or so regardless if we get the ball first or not. The only thing that may change it is if we get the ball at our 1 yard line, or their 1 yard line.
My guess is that we will see a running play first out of the singleback bunch right formation. I think they will be setting up the play action pass for later on the game. In a dream world, i would love to see a go route reception by moulds, but if it doesn't connect it may rattle JP, and may also make the defense not respect our ability to go deep, which at this point isn't a good thing because i have not heard JP being too successful with throwing the ball further than an intermeidate route... I didn't hear of enough reps, or see enough in pre-season to make me think they have worked on the necessary timing against live opponents.
So in summary, first play, run to the right by willis gain of 7, second and 3 from the Buffalo 38.

Good article on ESPN.com... Very respectable from an athlete that wouldn't be expected to do such a thing.
HOUSTON -- Three-year-old Aaron Carter timidly hoisted a small football skyward to Saints receiver Joe Horn, who reached down and gave the boy a hug before signing.
His grandmother, Jeanne Carter, says seeing the boy happy made her smile for the first time all week. For thousands of Hurricane Katrina refugees inside the Astrodome on Saturday, meeting Horn was a much-needed morale boost.
"Anybody can throw money around at these people, but they need love," said Horn, who spent three hours signing autographs, holding babies and playing games with children. "They need to be able to feel me. So when I leave, I hope they feel a little better."
Horn made good on a promise after the Saints' last preseason game Thursday by driving to Houston to spend time with refugees.
Die-hard Saints fan DeShawn Brown could barely contain himself when he saw Horn.
"This is big," Brown bellowed. "Our mail didn't come out here, and Joe Horn came out here. He's the truth."
Horn wove in and out of the cots and people lining the Astrodome floor as women shrieked in delight and everyone from small children to the elderly lined up to greet him.
"We're going to bounce back," he yelled to the crowd. "Things will get better."
People milling on the Astrodome floor and those sitting in the stands alike hollered their thanks to Horn and kids dashed toward him clasping any paper they could find for autographs. Others had him sign miniature Bibles distributed to survivors.
"Joe Horn came to see us when no one else would," said one person. "It's good to see somebody from home," yelled another from high above.
Bridget Bailey, who came to the Astrodome with 18 relatives after being rescued by helicopter, showed Horn digital pictures of her flooded home.
"Horn came to show us love, baby," she said. "It means so much to see him here and know that he cares."
A middle-aged man pushed through the crowd and approached Horn with a picture of his missing wife. He asked Horn to hold the photograph while he snapped a picture of the player and said he was confident he would find her.
One young man came up crying and relayed a story about watching several members of his family die. Horn said he almost broke down but composed himself when he looked around and saw the smiling faces of several children gathered around him.
Horn held babies, kissing them on their cheeks and making them giggle. He sat down on cots and talked to the elderly. He tossed a football to a young boy and played a board game with another.
"Right now money doesn't matter," said Horn, who has sent more than $15,000 to friends and associates affected by the flood. "Who you are or where you're from doesn't matter. Getting to come out here and give a child a hug or give someone a hug who knows that their house and everything that they have is gone is what's important."
He spoke through an interpreter with Darron Gavrel, 14, who is deaf. He told him to stay positive and shared with the teenager that he has an aunt and uncle who are deaf. Gavrel's eyes grew wide and he smiled, revealing a toothy grin.
It was a softer side to the man who made headlines two years ago when he was fined $30,000 for pulling a cell phone out the goal post padding after a touchdown and making a call in the end zone.
Many people asked him about the future of the Saints and how the season would go. The team has moved its headquarters to San Antonio.
"I don't care about all that," he said. "We're going to be where they want us to be anyway."
On the drive to the Astrodome, Horn was quiet and upset.
When asked if football mattered right now he answered, "Hell, no."
He was different after his visit, smiling and laughing, and had even changed his tune on football.
"I thought football would be irrelevant, but it's not," he said. "They want us to roll. They want us to play, so now I'm more spirited to do that."
He felt like he got as much of a boost from the visit as he gave to the people.
"At first my spirits was down," he said. "I didn't want to catch any footballs. I didn't want to run any routes. Now I'm going back full steam ahead telling the fellas, 'Let's go. That's what everybody wants."
While he was in California watching the footage of New Orleans he said he felt helpless and sickened and could barely eat. He knew then that he had to reach out to the people of the city.
"I feel much better now because I see where their heart is," he said. "They're about helping themselves and helping each other. They just appreciate that I came through just to say, 'You're going to be all right."
He said preparing for the Saints' opener Sept. 11 at Carolina will be tough, but he'll do it for all the fans he met Saturday.
"I'm going to get a grasp of myself because the fans here, they still want us to win," he said. "That's what they have to hold on to. That's why I came. I wanted to come and feel their heart. Now I can feel more comfortable about taking a flight to Carolina and trying to win a football game for these fans."
