Kirk Cousins is super serious about flag football. He didn't take losing to 54 year old Doug Flutie's team well at all.

I'm so happy for Kurt Warner. Such a great guy.

Glad to see good ol Morten Anderson make it in.

Oh, and it's game day!

Wow! Just wow!
I read that and kept waiting to hear it was all an act, like WWE. Kind of changed my opinion of Cousins a little. Can't wait to send a few text messages to Redskins fans this morning.

Dude is competitive.

I'd rather have a super competitive QB like Cousins than a Cutler. Dude wants to win. That's not really a bad thing.

I completely agree. Ultra competitiveness is a great trait in a QB.

According to Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Antonio Brown "frequently ran the wrong patterns" when he was frustrated this season.
Cook attributed the lapses to a "lack of focus" but also wondered whether Brown ran the wrong routes intentionally as a way of pouting for not getting enough touches. In the article Cook makes the case for trading Brown, citing his "look-at-me antics," including an incident against the Dolphins when he prevented the Steelers from running their two-minute offense by jogging back to the line of scrimmage. Brown was also frequently flagged for excessive celebration and was criticized by both Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger for live-streaming Tomlin's post-game speech after beating the Chiefs in the Divisional Round. Despite some of these head-scratching distractions, Brown was still extremely productive this year and has already begun extension talks with the Steelers.

Oh and ultra competitiveness is something all of the franchise QBs seem to have in common. Ryan, Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Prescott, Roethlisberger, etc. It's that drive to be better than the other guy that sets them apart.

So am I, but not to the point I would push a game official. Especially at a charity event.

Yeah I kinda like Cousins in general and I get that things get competitive in the heat of a game, but shoving the ref is a terrible look...

I don't mind Davis getting in as he was a east when healthy but the wrong Terrell was chosen. Owens resume is far more impressive.

[imsounoriginal]

TO will get in eventually, he can't not get in. I don't care about his off-the-field antics or whatever, I remember the drama when he was with Philly and it was annoying at the time, but it's in the past now. The numbers matter more and they speak for themselves.

Makes zero sense that he wasn't in last year. Laughable that he didn't get in this year.

[Batman1980]

Michael Floyd expected to be inactive tonight

[Omegaice]

I hope everyone enjoys the game later today! Looking forward to the commercials. [emoji14]

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "barring a slip up," suspended Raiders OLB Aldon Smith will be reinstated in March.
Smith met with commissioner Roger Goodell in December but his reinstatement bid was deferred for another three months. Now Smith appears to be home-free as long as he can stay clean. Substance abuse issues have derailed Smith's career in recent years but he's still an important pass rusher for the Raiders. The 27-year-old's contract is up after next season.
