This is bullshit, but not new. Big corporations bullying media. It's a article about the NFL pressuring ESPN not to run a particular special on head injuries.

Akers

Yeah, I thought he had been with us but wasn't sure.

Steve Spurrier II



Eagles HC Chip Kelly on contrast between tempo/speed of officials in NCAA & NFL: "Zero difference. None."




Yes, this man will fail miserably. He'll find himself in over his head...outmatched by other head coaches and as an added bonus, he'll get the already injury-prone Mike Vick severely injured...and then Nick Foles.

He thinks he can come into the NFL and run his college offense just as successfully as he did in the Pac-12. I applaud the optimism and self-confidence, but he's coming off as arrogant and looking unprepared. Week 1 is going to be a lot different than the preseason.

Steve Spurrier went undefeated and we scored the most points in the preseason. Once the real games started, his career stepped into quicksand.

This is totally understandable. Big media partner upset with other media partner and them working it out. It's an article about the NFL pressuring (their good friend and benefactor) ESPN not to run a particular special on head injuries.

I fixed that for you. ESPN is not an unbiased media group.

Felix Jones traded to Pittsburgh Steelers by Eagles - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000233090/article/felix-jones-traded-to-pittsburgh-steelers-by-eagles)

Nice move by the Steelers to grab an ex-Cowboy.


Also, it was hilarious that the Lions destroyed the Patriots; 40-9. Reggie Bush looked really good, although they're using him a bit too much, in my opinion.

Russell Wilson not looking invincible tonight

I feel like the refs are calling more penalties this preseason then the usual game last season. Might just be an experiment for the refs and players getting used to playing again but the amount of penalties are making these games difficult to watch.

Also watching Aaron Rogers, he has the best arm talent in the NFL but I am noticing he does not have the pocket presence Manning, Brady, and Brees all have.

The Seattle Oline has been getting owned this game. Just like the Patriots Oline yesterday.

This. And man is Brady Quinn trash. Not a terrible arm at time but no awareness, nothing.

Hilarious!!

So, he's still the starter then? RT @MMehtaNYDN: Geno Smith's first-half stats: 11 for 25, 134 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT, a 34.8 QB rating.
