Aren't all of Wisconsin's lineman the huge white cornfed farmboy type? You know, 6'7" 325lbs or something. With last names like "Wagner" or "Havenstein"?
I'm shocked more of those guys haven't made the NFL. Too slow maybe?

The Falcons got Peter Konz (guard) from Wisconsin this past draft. He got beat bad last Thursday against the Saints. . It is his rookie year but he was selected to start.

Sanchez couldn't cut it in the CFL.
They should trade for Eli Manning.....

Rivers to the Cardinals
I bet they stick with him. They have a decent amount of talent on the team, they just need someone to utilize it. Rivers isn't Sanchez levels bad yet, so why not?
As far as San Diego in general is concerned, I look forward to them being a good team again. Divisional football is much more fun when there is good competition. I used to love the battles with KC in the late 90's.

I doubt we're even playing the first week of play offs.
11-1 to missing the playoffs...that'd be a pretty epic collapse. If anyone could do it, it's the Falcons, though.
I just love being a Lions fan.
Curious as to who it is.

No, it would be an impossible collapse, herp derp.

When the NFL changed the line of scrimmage for kickoffs to increase touchbacks, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick derisively said it was only a matter of time before the league eliminated kickoffs entirely. He believed that's what the NFL wanted to do.
Belichick might wind up being proven right.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he has taken it under consideration to remove the kickoff entirely.
"It's an off-the-wall idea," Goodell told TIME in a cover story for the Dec. 17 issue. "It's different and makes you think differently. It did me."
Even more intriguing is an alternative concept promoted by first-year Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano. Goodell met with the NFL competition committee chairman about the concept.
"After a touchdown or field goal, instead of kicking off, a team would get the ball on its own 30-yard line, where it's fourth-and-15," TIME's Sean Gregory writes. "The options are either to go for it and try to retain possession or punt. If you go for it and fall short, of course, the opposing team would take over with good field position. In essence, a punt replaces the kickoffs."
It's an interesting idea. We haven't seen the numbers that punts are that much safer than kickoffs, but the NFL must have the data to support the notion if it's considering it.
The implications for strategy are even more intriguing. If a team is trailing by more than one score very late in the fourth quarter, they likely would to try to go for it on fourth-and-15 instead of punting. That's not an easy situation to convert, but the concept still would make it easier to stage a comeback without ever giving the ball back to an opponent.
edit: also, NFL.com is reporting that AJ Smith and Norv Turner are gone by season's end.

Probably suh
"In some ways, Suh played his best games of the season against the Colts. He sacked Andrew Luck on Indianapolis' first play, made six tackles, including four for loss, and hit Luck six more times."
That's damn impressive from a DT who gets double team all the time
Probably Calvin Johnson
Either goldlion or nihontiger.

MMO gameplay doesn't make for an exciting commercial.
The anonymous teammate? Probably everyone else on the team.
You can do it, I believe in you.

Norv, come back to Dallas and tell Garrett how to fix the offense!
I'm starting to think that you are sponsored by Sony and Papa Johns. You need a custom jersey.

I likes Trophies & Pizza! =/
Look, I'm 14 away from Top 100 US Trophy Earners!
Are you the top on Gaf?
This frees up Norv to go to Philly and Reid to San Diego!
Yet both will switch. Reid in SD and Norv in Philly.

I dont even have 1 platinum
That's pretty impressive. The only game I've ever got all the achievements out of was Symphony of the Night. I play it a couple of times to completion every year.
It really makes me wish Nintendo games had some type of achievements.
That good taste in games.
Please, I get platinum before even it's release dates.
NeoGAF should have grammar achievements.
You are offensive and now on ignore list
I remember buying it when it first came out so long ago. $35 brand new at a mom and pop game store. What a magical time.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
You do have it with Wii U Accomplishments (that's what they are called)
Only thing is that there are not a system based achievement system (not mandatory)
I was hoping for a NINty coin system
Bronze Coins (Mushroom Logo or Dev/Pub Icon)
Silver Coins (Flower Logo or Dev/Pub Icon)
Gold Coin (Leaf Logo or Dev/Pub Icon)
Shining Star (Platinum)
Hell if no Mario Motif, make the coins like Zelda Rupees and profit
Achievements/Trophies do bring high attach rates
No clue why NINty shunned them, they have Nintendo Rewards Club, this could've been a big edition on top of that
3rd parties would sell and be played like mad
