Or because they've been cheating at least twice. Then there are things like Rodney Harrison getting caught using HGH, but only because he was dumb enough to use his own name and address--on an incarnation of that team where old vets like he, Antowain Smith, Seau, etc. seemed to go and miraculously regain a step. Personally, I think it's a bit of "all the above"--they cheat wherever and however they can. You have an owner, coach and star who are sociopathic about it.

That looked pretty serious to me. I'd guess he's out for multiple weeks if I had to wager on it,

Wow, is Tannehill awful.

The Cheats* have a short week this week, too. If JG's out, Brissett will have to start Thursday, we, however, may of course see a vet pickup week 4.

Belicheat's arrogance may come back to bite him--why he wouldn't bring a vet in to backup JG for the first 4 weeks is beyond me. This was fairly predictable as a possibility.

This^^^^

Many thanks for the thoughts--must admit that I agree with most, if not all, of them.

This--she passed away right before he started at USC, I believe.

275 or so yards so far in the first half

Problem is the Jets have a dominant D-line (7 sacks today against a good Cinci line), so it may get worse before it gets better.....

I thought he said that last year, but could be wrong. Wherever you are, Bill, we're still thankful for all the years you did this!

I wondered the same thing--didn't see Marquise at al.. Are they afraid to take off his bubble wrap?

Not quite true--didn't he have like 3 long bomb TD's in limited action his rookie year? Since then, it's been all down hill, however, which his early flashes made all the more frustrating

I believe so--I recall seeing a quote from or about Shaq saying he was going to be getting a lot of mental reps while out, implying he'll be there watching practices.

Just kind of figures, doesn't it?

Logan Paulsen, Washington's former starting TE a few years back, just got released. Not much of a pass catcher, but my be an upgrade over the backup dreck we have now.

Tip of the iceberg in Foxboro--ever wonder way back when how all those over the hill guys they signed seemed to regain a step there? Now we know.....

The Coples signing idea (or a bring him back after he shops himself idea) makes sense to me. Just hope we don't somehow get burned here and lose both.

May have been a game of chicken and Whaley didn't blink.

On Lawson, they may be just trying to save $ and not have to fully guarantee his deal--they may have told him "go shop yourself and come back to let us match if we think it's reasonable". A gamble, but one teams sometimes take.

Then you shouldn't read a Pats* fan message board--I'd bet there are some of those jackholes who are sad to read he's doing well. Very glad to read he's doing well.

Many thanks.

Is Dareus coming back from rehab this year? Serious question (and I'm too lazy to review the whole Dareus thread for that info).

This is clearly the Pegulas saying "enough with this ****--we won't be made the laughing stocks of the the League." No matter how they dress it up, this was not a football decision.

I was there when he had his 78 yard punt--man, am I old....
