Im jealous. Gonna be a weird two years. We are pretty much giving away our season tickets to family and friends this year, I think we are going to make the Christmas Giants / Cowboys game. Also going to suck watching the games 5 hours later. But go Giants!

An illegal hit? Nice.

How much money will Harrison lose this year?

Bears adding help at WR and re-signing Forte was great. But, still concerned about the potential putridness of the O-line.


I think Cutler will be drawing with crayons soon if the lack of protection continues.

Call it the pussification of the NFL but when former players and coaches are defending the NFL legislating it, you know there's something wrong. The more effective it is at preventing injury, the more tempting it is to forget that it's even there.

Multiple concussions are with you for life. If a player hits someone and he has trouble getting up then that's okay.... but if he has to have a neck brace and get carted off the field...

dont play a contact sport?

they are paid more than adequate hazard pay if you ask me.

players ending their career from hard hits is a tiny percentage of most retired players.

there are much more hazardous jobs on this planet that get paid so much less money.

How does their salary have anything to do with this? also realize that players get paid a lot not merely because what they're doing is dangerous.

I pretty much approve of most if not everything Goodell has done since he's become commissioner. If you look at it in an unbiased light, he's only doing it for the good of the game. There's no way he thinks that suspending star players and/or coaches makes him look like a good guy in any way. If anything, not having star power on the field might even lose money for the NFL and lower his approval rating, if it exists.

Yet he does it anyway... I wonder why?

yeah i know i'm just kidding.

i thought it was funny how the ravens and steelers were like polar opposites. we had a rough start in the beginning and did better with starters on the bench...you did better with starters and had a rough finish.

you going to any games this year?

Seahawks!!! Excited to see what Matt Flynn could do for the team. He was a great backup for the Packers.

Not sure how TO will perform now that they signed him.

Can't wait for the game tomorrow night. Hasselback returns to Seattle but on the other side.

I usually average about 2 a year, with Pens season tickets it makes it hard to splurge on Steelers tickets

no doubt. it's amazing what they're allowed to charge for tix (even more amazing what they're allowed to charge for shitty tix).

i hope to make it to at least 2 games this year myself.
