Hey, I was saying myself last year that the Broncos should have left those in the 60s, so I'm gonna throw away. ;) :)Quote:

They redeemed themselves with the Top 2 ... but Tebow? Newton? What a shit list.
In their defense, everyone interviewed for the Tebow segment started laughing. "Tebow made our list because he did what most Heisman winners failed to do, made his college game work in the NFL." What a crap reason.

Sadly, they are better than the Seahawks new unis :(Quote:

True ... but he was on the Lions. Even the greatest running back of all-time, if he's that, can't carry an entire loser team. The fact that he got them to the playoffs is saying something, and I genuinely believe he could have had the rushing record if he had deemed it important enough to continue playing for.Quote:

the list says nothing about NFL success as a factor..it just says greatest Heisman winners in NFL. Tebow is statistically one of the greatest QBs in college and deserves to be somewhere on that list..not sure about Cam?

RIP Junior Seau:
http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2012/0...junior-seau-e/
Man Seau was my favorite player growing up..still was, even over Jerome Bettis. Reason I wanted to play LB growing up and in HS. And why I wore #55.
RIP
I think the NFL is going to have to consider mandatory retirement rules. You play X many games and/or X many snaps in games and you are done. This needs to be stronger for the guys that play in the box too. Some of these guys like Seau (and in the future Ray Lewis) play a violent position for too many years and games. The brain damage adds up.
We've had Seau and Dave Duerson die recently but there are quite a few more over the past while. It's sad and preventable. An absolutely huge and too expensive price to pay for a game. The new lighter contact CBA rules will help but these stories are awful.
Vilma...the league is suspending a guy for hitting hard....for a year..this commish is trying waaaay too hard..he's too old to be influenced by such a wussy generation I would think..but..
It has nothing to do with hitting hard. It's for running a bounty program that was trying to injure players. If the NFL doesn't come down on this hard they open themselves up for lawsuits regarding player safety. With Seau's apparent suicide Vilma has even less support.Quote:

A Lions coach in 2006 drives through a Wendy's naked and then gets a DUI a week later. He only got a 1 game suspension because it wasn't mainstream news. The NFL is all about protecting image and public opinion.
It's definitely safe to say that didn't hit the mainstream news. Even living in NW Ohio, I have no memory of ever hearing about this. :DQuote:

Yeah. I guess the Lions suspended him for one game but still let him coach during practices. Then the NFL stepped in and got him for another game. I guess naked must have been one game and DUI another! No word on whether he asked Wendy's to supersize his fry.Quote:

Schefter: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs could miss 2012 season after tearing Achilles playing basketball.
See ya, asshole.

Saying partial tear now from a conditioning run on Saturday. Says he hopes to be back by mid-season. Either way, a huge loss and almost guarantees Upshaw will get significant playing time as a rookie.Quote:

Ding ding ding! If you actually wrap up, you're much less likely to get a concussion. Still possible, but less likely.Quote:

That's true Jeff but we can't simply assume concussions only come from big hits. Those are certainly a huge factor but I remember reading a report on helmet sensors where one kid got a concussion on a hit that wasn't even that big. He had taken two big shots earlier and was fine but this third shot (measured smaller than the first two) caused a concussion. There are cumulative effects and as we've seen with boxers, too many shots to the head lead to brain issues down the road.
