Who wouldve thought this was going to be only the second most  bizarre thing from this mornings highlights, 

very unusual to see two team mates scrapping. But no, then Antonio Brown goes and completely loses it,

at least coach Arians made a quick decisive call to jettison the noxious person that Brown is.

Doesn’t tolerate nonsense Arians, very much from the old school.

Needs a lot of help AB. Felt the cracks were papered over with his ability to help them achieve success last season but the reality is he’s needed serious help for a long time now.

The 49ers will make the playoffs if they win at the Rams next week ... but if they lose and the Saints win at Atlanta, they are out of the playoffs (on conference record or head to head record, which could include the Eagles)

If we get enough starters,  a post season tipping comp can be held again

Same as last year, it will work like this

Week 1 ... 1 point for each correct winner (home or away) plus a bonus point if your margin of victory matches the following brackets (the correct one)

1-6,  7-12 or 13+

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each the correct bracket margin of victory

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct  bracket margin of victory

Week 4 (Super Bowl) ... 5 points for the win plus 5 bonus points for the correct bracket margin of victory

Traditionally, we've posted up scorelines so the margin bracket will be covered in a default manner if scorelines are posted up

Or, you can just post up a bracket margin of victory alongside your tip

Getting in a bit early this year with regards to the post-season tipping comp

The quoted post above explains the rules reasonably clearly and I'll post it up again after the regular season is done

I do every week!

But niners game starts at 8:25, I have to drive to Bendigo that morning, so might get an hour in live.

But do I watch some, then Avoid scores and that evening watch the rest? 
or

Avoid everything and watch the game that evening?

or

watch the hour live, then get the wife to give me updates as I’m driving?

Gorg that’s a pure toughie. When do you set off for Bendigo? We don’t advocate illegal activity here but could you have Kayo/Foxtel playing on your phone in a phone holder? I imagine this is a featured game this week on Kayo or 7 Mate surely? Anyway that would be my call, watch the hour then the rest (not) while driving.

Even as a passenger I’d hate to try and watch it on the phone, plus all the back country roads means the net will drop out or be slow. Prob leaving 9:30-10am

A fair call. Will you have any breaks during the day?

[layzie 33,793]

Every week long Antonio Brown saga seems to view like a soap opera with events and news each day of the week. If you didn't read the news since the walkout on Mon you really fell behind.

Yeah heading up there to visit some places and go to a brewery, so a leisure day.

Yeah, this is going to be very interesting. 
Is the ankle cooked? Did he get jabbed up to play, which is illegal in the NFL. Is it CTE? 

Did He get told to play/go back on after saying he was too hurt.

So much to play out with this.

Chiefs made hard work of it!

All the games being divisional evens things up

Exactly, there’s a hell of a lot to unpack. I do find it strange with Arians claiming he didn’t know about the injury. 

The latest is AB taking a blowtorch to his friendship with TB12. Not pleasant.
