You would have some competition in us for him. Idzik would go after him hard.

So apparently contract terms were the real reason behind the Patriots-Ravens week 16 game being flexed out:

The current broadcast contracts (which expire this year) require that the gap between games pilfered from CBS and FOX for Sunday night be more than three. If Pats-Ravens hadn’t been flexed, the gap would have been at three, with CBS losing 25 and FOX losing 22. Without taking a game from FOX for Week 16, only FOX could have lost a game for Week 17. Now, both networks are in play for Week 17.

The funny part to me is the nfc(fox) has more of the "glamour big market teams" compared to the afc(cbs) so you wouldve thought they wouldve had the edge in primetime games not the other way around.

I don't know about that. RGIII is more talented, but the way he has carried himself this season has been pitiful. Talk about a player that reeks of arrogance. It'll get really interesting if Cousins plays really well the final three games.

"He's pretty old, so I don't know how physical he'll be," Elam said. "He's a big guy, but he's older. I guess when they get older they're not going to be as physical, you know what I'm saying? We're going to have to be physical, make him uncomfortable."

It's gonna be fun to watch him get burned.

I think the Bears are going to win the division because they're a good team and stuff.

As a Ravens fan, I've got a bad feeling about this...

Dolphins center Mike Pouncey misses practice to appear before grand jury

Dolphins center Mike Pouncey missed practice Wednesday to travel to Massachusetts to testify before a grand jury in the Aaron Hernandez murder case, a source confirmed.

Authorities capitalized on Pouncey’s visit to New England on Oct. 27 to serve him with a subpoena after the Dolphins lost 27-17 to the Patriots.

Now — perhaps coincidentally — they forced Pouncey to miss practice four days before the Dolphins play host to the Patriots in a key matchup for Miami’s playoff hopes. ...

Yeah, cops in Massachusetts scheduled his appearance on the last full practice before the NE game, total coincidence...

7-9 Dolphins!!!

I have Lions and Broncos cap on this weekend. I hope the Panthers are overlooking us in preparation for next week against NO. If we somehow upset them, we'll be 4-0 against the NFC South

Bears coach Marc Trestman announced Jay Cutler will start Sunday against the Browns.

I think that's a bad move. They're in a race for the playoffs, you need to stick with the hot hand. (Especially considering Cutler is unlikely to be there next season)

Go Panthers! We have eliminated Pittsburgh last week, now it's Denver and Carolina's turn to do their job...Hopefully after this week it will be a two-horse race between us and Baltimore.

Wait, Martin, is that you?
