2015-16 NFL Season

[Longfellow]

My Cowboys have started poorly, but I'm remembering that it's just preseason.

At least you know who you're starting QB is

[WPWells]

I just hope he doesn't play like Arts and Crafts Tony Romo

Cowboys suck

Aren't you a New England patriots fan? If so, I cracked a joke last night and told my co-worker I thought "fix-a-flat" would be a good sponsor for them. Lol.

Hah! That's probably the best deflate-gate joke I've heard. And I've heard all of them. It does get annoying sometimes, that and being called a bandwagoner. By the way, I've been a patriots fan since I was 7 years old. I seriously started cheering for them because they are red, white, and blue. I'm a true Patriot

Bandwagon fan....they were winning their first super bowl when you were 7

[Longfellow]

Judge rules against NFL, nullifies Brady suspension

[Lionheart88]

Good to know you're allowed to cheat in the NFL.

[beach bum]

Good to know you're allowed to cheat in the NFL.

Its deflated footballs for goodness sake.... NFL recievers already nearly never drop passes. I am a Chiefs fan and can't stand the Patriots but this is a whole bunch of nothing. Nearly, every other player in the NFL thinks this way too. Taking steroids is cheating. Who cares about a ball that is barely under deflated to standard. Whether those balls were deflated or not the Patriots are the best team in the AFC by far.

I read an article that came out right after this broke that the Colts had some footballs with the wrong pressure too....but I guess when you lose 45-7 nobody cares what you do

The rules are the rules.  If you're not going to enforce them why have them?  Besides, there's no way the Patriots would've gone to all the effort they did to ensure the PSI was where they wanted it unless they believed they were gaining some sort of competitive advantage out of it.

My question is this: why does Leveon Bell get a smaller suspension for weed/dwi than Brady does for this. The patriots didn't threaten anyone's life. Bell drove under the influence of drug and alcohol. Greg Hardy beat his wife, and only got four games. Tell me what the NFL is really worried about.

I can understand having a slight advantage, but not a 38 point advantage...

Because the NFL sees cheating as a bigger issue than drugs and violence.  Whether or not they should feel that way is a completely different question as to whether or not those who break the rules of the game should be punished, though.

Wow do you raise your kids that way? It's ok to do drugs and drive and beat women, but we get a 8 month court battle because a guy in the Patriots organization deflated a football. To be generally aware is not proof of guilt. I'm generally aware of a lot of things, but I'm not responsible for them

[HorseFeathers]

Not sure how accurate the article was...but I read earlier that the cba doesn't allow suspensions for tampering with equipment, just a fine. Not to mention the Colts illegally checked the psi of a ball on the field....

Don't forget that the NFLs lawyers said in court we have no evidence proving that brady or the team knew that the balls had been tampered with

Would I raise my theoretical future children to see cheating as a bigger deal than drugs and domestic violence?  No, but I'm also not a sports league whose existence depends on viewers and the integrity of the game.  Do you think that sports leagues shouldn't punish cheaters?

They should...but they shouldn't agree to one set of punishments(Tampering with equipment is punishable by a fine not a suspension), then try to arbitrarily hand out a different one with no justification.

Before you scream he destroyed a cell phone, the NFL withheld stuff too...

According to Mike Tomlin, "We were listening to the Patriots' radio broadcast on our headsets in the first half."

It's always something with the Patriots, haha.

[VHSCoach2]

I just called DirecTV to confirm, and I do, indeed, get NFL Sunday Ticket for free this season. 

[VHSCoach2]

First NFL Sunday of the season!

Watching all the pregame shows that I can.  Can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning.

[VHSCoach2]

Pete Carroll went for an onside kick for the opening kick of overtime against the Rams today.

Rams recovered, but the Seahawks held them to a field goal.

And then the Rams stuff Marshawn Lynch on 4th and 1 to get the win.

[WPWells]

How many fantasy teams does everyone have? I have two

[HorseFeathers]

How many fantasy teams does everyone have? I have two

I've got 1...first year I've done it though. Not giving a flip about the nfl may have helped me though... I was projected to win the league...

[VHSCoach2]

Mariota with 2 touchdowns already, while Winston has thrown a pick-six.

Titans lead Bucs, 21-0, halfway through the first quarter.

[WPWells]

Let's go Cowboys!

[VHSCoach2]

Tough last two minutes of the half there for Dallas.  Looked to be driving down to go up 10-3 or 13-3, then two straight turnovers makes it easy for the Giants to take a 13-6 lead into halftime.

[BigLion10]

Lucky defense play for the Giants again come on cowboys

[WPWells]

Yep

[HorseFeathers]

Lucky defense play for the Giants again come on cowboys

I hate the cowboys but somehow had Romo fall into my lap for fantasy....so go....nope can't do it. Cowboys suck

[VHSCoach2]

What a drive by Romo and the 'Boys!

[VHSCoach2]

Now that the first Sunday of NFL is over, I can look forward to Monday Night Football. Hopefully my Falcons can beat the Eagles.

[WPWells]

I'm hoarse after that last drive. My Boys are 1-0 and it looks like both of my fantasy teams will be 1-0

[BigLion10]

Way to go Cowboys!! #1-0

[VHSCoach2]

Scores from last night's Monday Night Football contests:

Philadelphia Eagles 24
Atlanta Falcons 26
Final 

Minnesota Vikings 3
San Francisco 49ers 20
Final

[WPWells]

In one of my fantasy leagues I beat my opponent by 115 points. That team is loaded

[Longfellow]

I have gronkowski and Julio jones. Needless to say, I won this weekend

[VHSCoach2]

I can honestly say that I have never played fantasy football.

Am I really missing out as much as I have been told I am? 

[WPWells]

I beat a team that had both Brady and Gronk

Nah you are not missing out. It completely changes the way you view NFL games and not for the better. That being said I have been playing every year since 1998.

[BigLion10]

I lost by 12

[HorseFeathers]

In one of my fantasy leagues I beat my opponent by 115 points. That team is loaded

I beat the number 2 scoring team in my league by fiftyish this week...only flop I had was Odell beckham...

[BigLion10]

Blah Beckhams overrated imo. Only reason he got so popular was thay catch he made

[HorseFeathers]

Blah Beckhams overrated imo. Only reason he got so popular was thay catch he made

Whoever does the fantasy projections for nfl.com is in love with him

[BigLion10]

True but honestly other than that catch what made him so special
