He's had multiple behavioral problems, yet no suspension? Loooove how subjective that is with the commish.

NFL fans, like any large group of people, are disfunctional and illogical. Chad Johnson gets vilified (unfairly IMO). Yet at the same time, we have a guy who ACTUALLY trashed his own team, insulting his own coaches in an interview right before a playoff game, wouldn't be a team player in a gap control defense that's proven to work, went from "probowl" when we were bad to "less than average" when we were good because he wasn't #1 in the media anymore, and proved he was a ***hole off the field with how he treated his restaurant employees, and Redskins fans just voted him one of our 80 greatest players.

just doesn't go far enough, sometimes.

I didn't want to address that, but I'm on your side on that one.

Anyway, did anyone see any of the Dallas game? I woke up and checked the box score and saw that some guy I'd never heard of had over a hundred yards on 3 (?) catches?! Did they find yet another Laurent Robinson?

He may get another chance somewhere i would think. His personal issues not withstanding, I think giving up on him after only two preseason games was premature. He had been out of the NFL since 2010, and i think he needed a few more games to get going...

For both teams, colts could really make some noise if they can keep the offense upright

Thats what the Cboys were discussing down here, talking about cutting Derick Dockery so they wont have to pay him the whole years salary, then picking him up after week one or something like that.

Dwayne Harris is a straight baller. I had the pleasure of watching this guy play for 4 years while here at ECU. Just because you haven't heard about him doesn't mean much. People had never heard of Chris Johnson until he blew up the NFL. The only reason Dwayne Harris didn't get drafted in the 1st round is due to his speed. He simply doesn't have top end speed that many of the NFL WRers have. He's a was a very good return man for us as well.

Not sure why the Colts did this. Not like they are going to compete anytime soon.

Quick, name one of the starting CBs for the colts..............
......

exactly. Vontae is a very solid CB. I don't really think the Dolphins 'won' this trade, sure they have Sean Smith, but now in a division with Brady and the pass happy bills, I think its kinda dumb, then again the dolphins aren't going anywhere great for the next couple of years.

Why can't Indianapolis compete? They have a very good QB, solid targets and a decent defense. I could see them winning 6 or 7
