Interesting video CFH. Personally I think that's an extreme end of the spectrum, his attack on Goodell and others. I like Goodell, and think he's done a pretty good job so far. His whole "accessory" thing, and the idea of us all being accessories after the fact is pretty normal for American TV, and I don't think is in any way the truth. Just typical overwrought pseudo-journalism. This has been a fairly big screwup/oversight, on a large scale, and I reckon maybe will cost Goodell his job, which might be a good thing in terms of statements being made by the NFL, despite the fact I reckon he's been ok for the NFL in general. As for Rice, he's gotta go, right? I have Mick the [censored] Vick in my Avatar, so I reckon he should be brought up here. The two crimes are obviously not comparable, but I have to wonder what the NFL's policy will be on the fact that Rice is unlikely to do time, and is begging for a second chance?

Does anybody here play NFL fantasy?

Went halvsies with the guy I buy coffee from every morning. He's a mad-keen Cowboys supporter. I feel a little dirty.

Tough being a big NFL fan without foxtel.

Ok, getting in nice and early for this week... Cards to beat Giants. Saints over Browns. Seahawks over Chargers.

Wowee. Cards win... I thought Rivers would snaffle this up.

Yeah he's regretting it right about now... Look at the Cards go... Rivers with 2 minutes... this will be exciting.

Lol. Didn't last too long. Still... they look ok... Palmer even looks ok at times.

Wow how about the freaking NFC at the moment... Eagles (by default), literally everyone in NFC North, Falcons, Saints, Seahawks, 49ers and Cards... That's 10/16 teams that look like they should be in playoffs.

I take back everything I said about the Cards. Their D is sensational. Almost Seattle like actually. Well... So far.

Yeah, I won't be picking the Eagles next week. Pretty disgusting isn't it. I am a huge fan of Goodall and his leadership, especially given I'm a fan of one of the worst run leagues in the entire world... But their handling of this is looking pretty dodgy. The video is disgusting but you hate to see them being reactionary... Kudos to the Ravs for pissing him off though. If you're really, really nice to me I'll give old Chipper a call and tell him you can have Barkley for your second rounder next year. lol You missed the boat on dirty Sanchez though. Like the eagles are now. Ok, I'll stop.

I do try to respect them. And I do succeed to a degree. But they're missing something. Or at least they were last year. Can't help but feel a bit meh towards Palmer. Maybe that's it. But yes, their brand is a lot of fun to watch.

Well if I'm still up for points I could just pick the away team in both... lol... But no if I had the whole round to choose from, I'd have gotten 2/3... Bengals, Vikings and Saints... and lost on Saints. These two games? I'm Eagles, so I'll be watching the Gmen get slaughtered. Then after that, Chargers to win.

Yeah. 16-0 is almost impossible. And yeah that's good to know for my tips.

Faaantastic. Ok. I'll go for round 2. Just put up your picks on a regular post?

lol. Looking at 49ers today and Seattle on Thursday humiliate the Packers who are a legitimate SB threat.... I will be picking the Hawks with confidence.

100% agree. I had a mate who likes a bet ask me who to bet on. I said Seattle. He said which game. I said, whichever one you want... They really could go 16-0

Yeah. As a die-hard Eagle, watching Romo screw up today on 7mate after a massive relief of a second half was pretty awesome. Yeah I am happy with Eagles generally. However, we haven't played anyone yet. Jacksonville aren't very good (getting better) and they made us play absolutely disgusting footy for a whole half. And yeah I think you'll find Foles isn't THAT great. Chip Kelly is a freaking genius... But Foles can be patchy. Take today, he was all over the shop the whole time... missing easy throws. It's the scheming and clever use of TEs and WRs that gets them open. The Maclin TD was because Chip had confused the hell out of Jacksonville's players. I think Eagles will take Division. And SHOULD win a playoff game. But there's no superbowls for them this year. Wow Seattle are good. And there's about 4 other NFC teams better than Eagles. Or at least more proven. Yeah NFL is the only relief out there for me. Other than the Ashes last year. I think you should keep a weather eye out on Vikes. They'll be up to their ears in it all year. Too much talent not to be. There' a comp?!!!!! I came back a week late.

Yeah. What happens if you go 3-3? Or 2-3 now that you've won one... Surely you must be thinking postseason?

Love it. Only the NFL comes up with cool stuff like this... So cowboy from hell, but Vikes fan?

Yeah to be honest, that is a damn awful situation. I think pretty much everyone feels sorry for Rams. Are you sort of partly glad now that you'll look past Bradford in the future? I mean.... Mariotta will be in the draft this year?

Ah Georgiou... that surprises me. I rate da behrs quite highly. Took Cutler as my QB in fantasy too... Could it be possible it was just a bumpy start for week 1? I have them as my second wild card team?

Refreshing change from AFL? I agree...

Hello again boys!!! Good to see my old thread on here still going strong years later.... page 83.... Look at the Eagles fly!

Wow. Tough loss for Eagles. Maclin TD and I'm celebrating thinking we're almost to a 4-2 record before the bye, then the wheels came off completely. Not one phase of the game did their job in the last 6 minutes. Devastating loss. Eagles now probably less than a middle of the road team. McCoy not playing like a pro bowler, Vick going to get benched if he goes on like this. Reid likely to get canned. Very, very wobbly. Interesting to see the Giants manhandle the 49ers... who put up 80 points or something in 2 weeks. And with RG3 running all over the place against a strong Vikings this year. The only solace, Dallas look even worse than the Eagles... Got a lot of work to do.
