I never dvr a sports program. It's just too easy to get stats from, virtually, anywhere...so I don't see the point.
I have a buddy that will send out a blanket text message letting everyone know he's not watching a certain sporting event and not to text him about it during the game, because he's DVRing it. Of course we all tease him about it, and jokingly tell him to get on the waiver wire ASAP.

Yes. I am so worried about MIA coming into Gillette and losing..... Just like i am worried about the LOL SOJ once again.

Don't like to see the SOJ implode as usual? It's always great for laughs

I'm sure many Miami D owners were disappointed, but it's hard to make plays like INTs and sacks when your opponent runs 90% of the time...

Everything I read said it was a near-certainty that Manziel would start. I suppose the coach figures that Hoyer gives them a better chance to win now and as long as the team is in playoff contention they'll stick with him, but in reality a loss this week would pretty much knock them out of playoff contention since all their losses are to AFC teams, so I could see the Browns going to Manziel next week if they lose to the Colts this week.

Glad we are on the same page. Glad to see you aren't worried about Miami losing either.

Unlikely to happen, but what if Hoyer gets things back on track and the Browns finish strong? They still let Hoyer walk in free agency?

Yes Because Hoyer is just a game manager not a franchise QB

What if Manziel isn't either? Hoyer at least gives them a high end backup if he is on the roster.

LOL! Yeah if you're a Seattle fan.
I'd say we have a 1% chance of winning, but that might be too generous!
I will say this, here is the ultimate chance for Sanchez to silence the critics.

Beast Mode gonna go nuts this week

Yikes, this is going to really hurt the Ravens in their playoff bid. Right now they're a game and a half behind Cincy with games remaining at Miami, Jacksonville, at Houston, and Cleveland. If they even lose one of those they could be out of the playoffs.

Baltimore Ravens ‏@Ravens
#Ravens DT Haloti Ngata has been suspended by the NFL for the next four games for violating its performance enhancing substances policy.

Ngata: “I made a mistake, and I own this. I took Adderall and take full responsibility for doing this."

Are these things really "mistakes"? Why is it always a mistake and not "Yeah, I did it. I'm sorry."

Yeah, it would be one thing if he took a supplement that contained a banned substance (like the Starcaps issue a few years back), but it's widely known that Adderall is a banned substance, especially after multiple well-publicized suspensions. The only way Ngata was getting away with taking this was if he didn't get randomly tested.

Perhaps we're using different definitions here, but I thought saying "Yeah I did it I'm sorry" means admission that the action was a mistake. Is it not normal to apologize for a mistake?

I'd say Wilson has more rushing yards. I'm more concerned about our non-existant secondary.

One win can't silence anything when it comes to Sanchez. Unless that win is a Superbowl I suppose.
