I've heard an "NFL Pundit" talking on the radio that many people, including him, think that Brady is guilty, but that the League's handling of the situation has in essence made all the fans want to support the "bad guy" (Brady) because they are making themselves look like the Bad Guy™

At this point to me it's a huge argument between Lawful Evil & Neutral Evil, the only issue is the huge future implication of the power's given to the commissioner by the union being employed against the union & future cbas

I've said it from the word go, Goondell needs to go. But honestly he's lost and is going to lose his last 4 cases that went to court yet he is still in power. He has made the NFL too much money for them to depose him now. My guess is the NFL useS a "reduction of comissioners judge/jury/executioner" as a negotiating chip in the next CBA to get something else they want.

And i expect a strike when they try to hold onto that power...which is great for me because that means that other networks might pickup some NHL contracts

Yeah you did... against the Rams.
Incorrect, off by quite a few years plus it was accusations that stem more from the fact that the Rams soft receivers didn't like defense backs that were allowed to play than anything else!

Has anything been confirmed with his injury? I was looking around and didn't see anything. That would be pretty bad for the packers as he's such a weapon for Rodgers.

Suggs definitely targeted Bradford, but that gut punch (from McClellan? #50) better not be a preview of the Ravens style this season.
Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

What Suggs did was completely legal and what the OLB/DE is supposed to do on a read option but he had Bradford's entire body to aim and just happened to go for his knees
So GB has Nelson out for the year, 1st rounder carted off & Rodgers getting bandaged up a fair bit in one game, not a great week there

Then on the other side, the Steelers lost their Center (again) with a broken ankle.... The more and more these sorts of things go on, the more I would think HCs will begin sitting more and more starters, with many of them seeing maybe a drive in preseason, and only getting on the field in week 1, when it actually matters.
Starting to get excited now.. although worried as Ipswich Town is doing well in the footie.. and its rare for both my white horses to play well at the same time.
Hoping for an interesting season, new coach and all.. go Broncos!

All bow before the wonderfulness of Rugby League (not quite as good as Union but hey). And the fact he's a filthy cockroach can be ignored now he's overseas ha.
All you people cheering loudly when he catches it is what confused me. He's a fullback, all he does is catch and run. It's literally his job. Do people often not take those in the NFL?
Spoiler:
And that fend, quality stuff
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...
Fullbacks are a pretty rare commodity in the NFL so yes people don't often take those in the NFL. There are a few people I hope make it in the NFL jarred hayne is one and Nate Boyer the long snapper that got cut by the Seahawks a couple days ago is the other. They are nice stories.

If he muffed the catch Dallas could have recovered and started a new set of offensive downs, which is why punt returners are taught to ignore any kick that goes over their head.

Prepare yourself for a disappointing NFL season then!

Except that it wasn't "read option" play. It was a simple hand-off from the shotgun. A play that EVERY team uses and has used. Philly hasn't run a single "read option" play yet.
Suggs could see that Bradford did not have the ball since Bradford was turned toward Suggs after the RB went past. Suggs THEN dropped his body to aim his shoulder at Bradford's knee. He also had time to either pull up or turn to avoid hitting Bradford, he took 3 steps before the hit.
By calling that hit "legal" then any QB on a shotgun play is open game regardless of what the actual play was. There are reasons that certain hits on QBs are restricted.... Just ask Joe Thiesmann.

Blandino said the ref was mistaken and that he plans to communicate with all of the league’s officials this week to make sure they understand that quarterbacks are to be treated as runners unless they are clearly in a passing posture or clearly don’t have the ball.
“If the quarterback has an option, he’s considered a runner until he either clearly doesn’t have the football or he re-establishes himself as a passer,” Blandino said. “So it’s not a foul by rule.
Suggs also takes one step before hitting Bradford, my issue isn't the legality of the hit it was that he intentionally went for Bradford's knees on that read option play

I agree, it's not as though Bradford is a big guy like Roethlisberger or Jared Lorenzen. There was absolutely no reason to go that low, unless you're trying to hurt people.
This is one, among so many reasons why I dislike Baltimore
