Will the Panthers make it back to the playoffs?
Will the Patriots repeat?
Will Rex Ryan do any better in Buffalo?
Will Peyton Manning make the best out of what could be his last season in Denver?
Will Tim Tebow become the comeback player of the century?

Let's find out.

Greg Hardy suspended 10 games without pay

4/22/2015 4:15:22 PM

And the Panthers are the 11th game of the Cowboys season.

4/22/2015 4:27:09 PM

Is this a consolidated list of Donovan McNabb tweets?

4/22/2015 4:27:38 PM

If the Bills get just decent quarterback play they are going to be a very tough team. Unfortunately for them (my team) I don't know if that will happen.

The first 2 games of the year will be very telling

4/22/2015 4:51:54 PM

It's crazy how many 10s of millions of dollars are going to be lost from all the 1st and 2nd round talent guys who slip a round because they were dumb and failed drug tests the week of the draft, or carruthed their ex

4/30/2015 7:36:27 PM

Top 2 QBS aren't even in the building, maybe Chicago was a bad idea?

4/30/2015 8:04:13 PM

could have been worse. could have been Baltimore

I never realized how boring the draft is. At least people are constantly booing Goodell.

4/30/2015 8:59:06 PM

at least they only have 10 minutes to make a selection now instead of 15. that was so much worse.

4/30/2015 9:17:07 PM

lol at the audio issue

5 ACC players in the top 16 picks. Where you at Jibbles?

4/30/2015 9:56:07 PM

smh chargers. Gordon is overrated as fuck.

4/30/2015 10:14:55 PM

another vote of no confidence in Smitty

4/30/2015 10:57:55 PM

...or they're replacing Torrey Smith.

5/1/2015 7:32:37 AM

it can be two things!

Lol. Why was the first two people Leonard Williams hugged two guidos?

5/1/2015 8:51:45 PM

Wasn't sure where to post this, but Anthony Boone (Duke QB and former student at Weddington High School where a few of us went), was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Lions.

Very happy for him.

Brady suspended 4 games

and Pats fined 1 million, lose next years #1 pick and 2017s #4 pick.

they should trade for Glennon. would give them their best chance at back to back titles.

5/11/2015 5:42:36 PM

what a goddamn joke

how long would they have suspended him for if they had actual proof? the entire season?

this is Goodell attempting to save face for royally screwing up the Ray Rice case

[Edited on May 11, 2015 at 6:02 PM. Reason : .]

5/11/2015 5:42:44 PM

still more of a "punishment" than unc will ever see

5/11/2015 6:02:44 PM

^^You think the punishment is too harsh?

5/11/2015 6:07:36 PM

given the evidence they presented, yeah

they're totally grandstanding

5/11/2015 6:09:05 PM

6 games for adderal
4 for blatantly cheating
2 for knocking your wife unconscious


Keep up the good work, Roger

5/11/2015 6:56:43 PM

I don't have any sympathy for Brady or the Pats. Constantly pushing boundaries, and often breaking rules. Fuck em.

at least beating up your girlfriend doesn't give you an unfair advantage on the field

[Edited on May 11, 2015 at 7:01 PM. Reason : .]

5/11/2015 7:01:27 PM

Anyone else think losing the 1st rounder hurts them more than losing Brady?

That's 64 (possibly 80 with the 5th year option) games worth of a quality cost controlled asset vs 4 games worth of, admittedly, a top 5 all time QB.

5/11/2015 7:08:08 PM

^^ that's exactly what's wrong with all of this

there have been other teams who have broken similar rules and had nothing done to them

it's obvious that after almost a year of being a laughing stock, Goodell is doing this to gain public support because it's the Patriots. losing multiple draft picks over this, especially without a smoking gun, sets a horrible precedent

add the fact that his 1st game back will be against the Colts on Sunday Night Football...

[Edited on May 11, 2015 at 7:38 PM. Reason : assuming that Brady doesn't win in arbitration ]

5/11/2015 7:37:29 PM

What similar rules have other teams broken? Too bad Goodell never released the Spygate tapes that the NFL "lost". They sure do have a hard on for the Pats!

Goodell is a perpetual fuckup but I see nothing wrong with this penalty

"With 12-degree temperatures and 17 mile per hour winds, Sunday's game was the the coldest home game the Minneota Vikings have played in 38 years, both teams were doing anything they could to gain an advantage over the cold."

When both teams are doing the same thing, I don't see how one of them is gaining a competitive advantage over the other. That's not the same as deflating air out of balls to help lead the NFL in fewest fumbles over the last 3 seasons.

5/11/2015 7:58:22 PM

I would be happier with a 6 game suspension, but 4 ain't bad.

5/11/2015 8:11:22 PM

Wouldn't a deflated ball be harder to throw?

5/11/2015 8:23:02 PM

you ever thrown a football before? how is this a question?

I heard someone on the radio point it out that it helps guys from fumbling too, and then looking at the stats you see the Pats barely ever fumble no matter who is toting the rock.

[Edited on May 11, 2015 at 8:26 PM. Reason : made sense to me]

5/11/2015 8:24:52 PM

Easier to hold on to, yes. But you can't throw it as far.

5/11/2015 9:06:02 PM

well, here are his 2014 numbers on how far he actually threw downfield

5/11/2015 9:18:59 PM

NFL QB's could still chuck it 50 yards. Accuracy is much more important on 98% of throws.


Interested to see who they sign to back fill. Likely a vet since Garropolo is still a kid, plus Garrett Gilbert who's never played.

Tebow

5/11/2015 9:54:43 PM

I thought suspending Greg Hardy for 10 games was him saving face about Ray Rice? You know, since they had nearly identical offenses, whereas beating up women and deflate gate are apples and orangutans.

I'll say again, Goodell is a clown, he is inconsistent as fuck on the penalties he hands out, and he has a habit of just generally screwing around. But if Brady's suspension and the Pats fine and draft pick losses are him trying to make up for anything it's probably the Patriots being accused and found guilty of multiple violations of cheating in the last 10-15 years, and STILL cheating. I just don't get any type of link between this and domestic violence unless it comes out that Brady was beating Giselle

this is going to drive owners against goodell far more than his botching of the ray rice investigation did.

the NFL basically created a story, had an investigation built to prove it, and then made up punishment against even those that the bullshit investigation exonerated. for christ sake, the investigators basically planted words in the ref's mouth so they could then draw a line that actually made the balls improperly inflated. it's amazing how many people read the report and miss the blatant lie in their faces because they're getting their jollies off over seeing the pats knocked down.

the wells report cleared the coaches and the organization and NE still gets hit with a million dollar fine and a 1st round draft pick? what owner is going to let this guy stay in power and put himself in unknown crosshairs?

[Edited on May 11, 2015 at 10:11 PM. Reason : .]

5/11/2015 10:06:34 PM

Sounds like Robert Kraft is the only owner who isn't happy about it, though he clearly knew Brady was guilty which is why his statement was basically "well we didn't know of any wrongdoing, but we'll accept any punishment"

Quote :

Sean Payton got suspended for a year for something that supposedly was only known about amongst defensive meetings. Too bad, he was in charge and it happened on his watch, so he had to deal with it.

What would be your proposal, fire a couple $30k/year equipment managers and make them take the full blame?

they've been found guilty of one thing and were penalized for it

perceived guilt by the public should have nothing to do with the penalties that are handed out. the NFL commissioned an investigation that found nothing definitive and also absolved the franchise of any wrongdoing yet they still hammered them severely. it doesn't matter how much you hate the team that got hit, it's totally fucked up.

5/11/2015 10:27:49 PM

One of the more telling issues for me is the fact that they waited days after the investigation was published to hand down a punishment
