Wow that's horrible. Thankfully it's not the norm.

What the hell is wrong with this dude. Take your meds for ****s sake.

This is a decent thing for the Rams to do. Still think charging full price for the 1st and 4th preseason games are a huge joke

Shouldn't this be standard in the NFL during ALL of Preseason? Preseason is the best way to get the kids there for cheap and up close. then when the season starts, let the adults and meaningful game commence. IMO

Aaron Hernandez: How a Potential NFL Great Couldn't Escape a Life of Violence | Culture News | Rolling Stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/five-revelations-from-rolling-stones-aaron-hernandez-story-20130827)

I'm looking forward to reading this story. As far as the drug allegations go, I wonder if widespread drug/ped abuse is possible in the NFL. It seems like we hear a lot about illegal substances being used but players not being caught. Also if the part about Urban Meyer is true, that will be disappointing. With all the stories that come out of the NCAA (most of them negative) you gotta wonder how much covering up goes on. It's pretty sad that football culture dictates programs put winning a championship and/or making money over everything else.

Cowboys release Jared Green, I guess we won't be seeing Darell wearing cowboy gear.

Dude on ESPN just said Russell Wilson was the rookie of the year....
