is there a new rule where the defense isn't allowed to shift en masse? b/c i'm pretty sure i've been watching that happen for years.

theres a new rule where the opposing team has to accuse the patriots of cheating every game

ah makes sense

yeah there's some ambiguity there i guess though trying to draw yr opponent offsides isn't some dastardly new scheme. i hope if they do 'resolve' the ambiguity it doesn't eliminate that kinda craftiness.

raiders just signed aldon smith

NOW THAT'S HOW TO BE A GODDAMN HEEL, FOLKS

(or just, yknow, desperate, but still)

NFL investigating Steelers' assistant coach for allegedly assaulting a Patriots' fan Thursday night:

lol

NFL just keeps becoming more and more like pro wrestling and so far it hasn't hurt business, but I know for myself I really find myself watching it less every season and I have been a die hard fan since I was a kid.

Steelers/Pats game on NBC...blech! Didn't even turn in myself. Al Michaels used to be a great play by play guy but god he has become a total sanctimonious blow hard. I really kinda hate the whole prime time variety show aspect of the big night time national games and try to skip that stuff myself.

apparently here is an illegal $$ subscription nfl streaming service similar to ball streams for the nba tho they r full rn http://nfl2go.com

how much?

$25 i think

damn, i was gonna mention there's a student deal for sunday ticket that's only $99 and you only need an edu email but fuck that

10000+ turnovers cutler

houston looking good

aaaand gruden won't go for it on 4th and 1 deep in miami territory so the hatcats miss a field goal

why do i have the feeling things are going to go badly from here on out

Today marks 8 months, 1 week - cold turkey. So now that it's out of my system, I can probably watch ONE day of RedZone now, right?

TOUCHDOWN washington

bills up 16 ?!

looool @ fins

tannehill should really be past the phase of making plays like that

damn bills lookin p good

24-0 in Buffalo now, and Taylor's looked better under center than Neckbeard Jesus all game, but it's the Bills and I won't breathe until it's over.

As mediocre as Miami has been...10-7

Lol at the Flagskins

colts defense might make ej manuel look good

Lotsa weird results en route

next series washington again manages to get backed up almost 25 yards on penalties

oh wait there's another one

omg we are so terrible
so so terrible

rams noooo

browns run d possibly even worse than last year

that was one hell of an int by the dolphins

Omfg McCain!

bears are running some very bad goal line plays

it's amazing that that ridiculous toss & catch b/w Rodgers and Cobb is just a routine thing in the NFL now

"They're not on a mission like I am," explains Josh, who will finish the year with straight A's, a 98.72 overall average and a nearly perfect behavior report. "So school's kind of, like, just a business day now."

About an hour into algebra, Josh leaves the classroom and returns with a bottle of water and a plastic container of protein powder. He mixes and shakes until the concoction is thick and brown. Then he swigs the drink as he checks his math book.

is it bad to hope that kid chokes on his protein shake

^ Sounds almost as bad as figure skaters.

or professional dancers.

at the risk of being overly trenchant, it's sad that the only winning endgoal future this immensely driven, very clever, disciplined kid can see is as an athlete. prob would not be the case if this was a white middle class teenager.
his ugly early upbringing clearly colors a lot of why discipline seems to matter so much.
otoh:

Bill counters and says Josh "understands this isn't just about sports. He knows that he has a purpose here in life; it goes above and beyond sports." Bill points to Josh's near-perfect grades, the way he greets people with a smile, handshake and eye contact, and his goal to attend a strong academic college to pursue a career as an entrepreneur.

"A lot of people would be like, 'I don't understand how he does it. There's no fun in it,'" Josh says. "But I enjoy it. I like the regimented plan and I enjoy getting better and working hard. I like seeing the results."

The family's Christian faith is also "a big part of Josh's life," Bill says. He and Josh talk often about praying for guidance and asking God for signs during trying moments, such as the high school decision process. And Bill is quick to credit God's blessing — and not training or coaching — for Josh's athletic abilities.

"We talk about leaving a legacy, making an impact, making a difference in other people — and not just through sports," Bill says. "He's a smart kid. He gets it."

in any case, sandra bullock needs to buy the rights now

^never liked turley as a player but i agree with him: it is hella stupid that the nfl doesn't have a more proactive and extensive retiree (and rookie!) outreach and engagement program
