I know - I'm just worried about Vick breaking every bone in his body on the first play.
Why Colts ran less no-huddle

Ballard is just a guy. This is only a big deal because he was on the Giants and the Pats took him.
Yeah, I saw that on the local news this morning...sigh.
One can only hope it doesn't turn out badly.
Huh. Almost sounds insulting to the guys on the team if they read that.
Then why would you draft him
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Yeah, I'm looking forward to him finally having a great season where he's not injured all the time.
Oh, wait...
And you're not worried about Manning?
He's taken about the same amount and type of hits Vick took this preseason and popped right back up

The hit Vick took on his ribs what a pretty vicious one. Manning has not taken a hit like that this preseason.
And he likely won't. It's Vick's style of play along with his slight frame that gets him injured so much. Manning just doesn't open himself up to hits the way Vick does.
I know Giants fans like the guy, so a Steve smith update
Despite working a lot with first unit, he is on the bubble. With Amendola being the clear slot guy, they needed Smith to demonstrate he could play on the outside. He's been having lots of trouble playing out there. Gets jammed a lot and can't beat man coverage consistently. What may save him is the two rookies aren't close to being able to start. Neither has played with the starters except a play or two a game. Problem for Smith is it's hard to keep a guy who isn't a playmaker and can't play ST
edit: ez Smith's drop rate (in NY) is about the same as Brandon Gibson's. If he can't play outside he really doesn't have value. Their roster is a mess since neither rookie is able to play right now. Those two are the only WRs with speed. They didn't think much of Blackmon and said Quick was going to be fine even though he played at Appalachian State. He's not. Offense is probably going to be hot garbage until the WRs mature and they replace the QB

The thought of the Rams cutting any guys who can catch the ball is funny to me.
Speaking of WR's, I guess Toon is finally going to play this week.

Satan will be watching over me for the next month or two. All I have to do is look up from my computer and there he is, in full view. I think if Bionic worked in my office he'd have to quit.
I can't wait until they paint those Uggs on him. It's got to be an Uggs ad right? I'll update once I can confirm.

That's awesome. Don't be surprised when your career takes off over the next few weeks, with the eyes of a semigod watching over you. His awesomeness will rub off on you.

It would only be right for them to paint Jesus Walkers on him
This is so awesome.
Fucking sweet. Welker is definitely gone after this season, but at least the two TEs are locked up long term.

By the way watching those guys paint that always impresses me. They're on their way down now, we should find out what shoes he's wearing in an hour or so. They're spending more time reworking his hair. Just like Tom.
I've only heard good things about Madden. I'll be playing it nonstop regardless but its always better when its actually a complete game.

Nice detail -- Aaron Hernandez is donating $50K to the Patriots Charitable Foundation in honor of Myra Kraft with this deal done.
Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer
... Hernandez is making the donation as an appreciation towards Robert Kraft, for having the faith to take him in the draft, extend him now.

First half complete. Browns fans, start licking those chops!

I still can't believe they found both of them in one draft. Year after year of failed TE picks, and in one year you get two studs. It's also nice seeing the draft picks improve over the last few years. Some of those drafts were brutal.

Well Hernandez donated to Urban Meyer's family. It's only right to do so for Bob Kraft
I disagree. We have had solid players at the tight end position for years. We just happen to have two of the best in the entire league at the moment. I also remember some fans crying about "why the hell did we draft two TEs in the same draft, you idiot Belichick!".
wtf. I literally cracked up at my desk at work.

That's amazing. Are you in an office environment where other people come to your desk? Every other day you should add more Brady photos to your desk/wallpaper. Start showing up to work with strange haircuts and shoe choices.
HR will give you a paid vacation to purge demons.
