Why do you think you are screwed? You can start Spiller/Jackson in one spot and Moreno in the other. They aren't great options but not the worst either. Also Martin's injury is minor but if it turns into a big deal you have Rainey as a handcuff. A couple of other options: Ahmad Bradshaw Colts - if you watched that game he clearly is there best back I would look to add him if I were you Justin Forsett Ravens - new starting RB grab him quick if he isn't already gone Lorenzo Taliaferra Ravens - supposedly the guy to watch on the Ravens as Forsett is more scat back than lead back Shonn Greene TItans - if available he got a lot of the work Terrance West - likely not avaialble but scoop him if he somehow is. More likely tho.... Isaiaih Crowell - Now the second back for the next few weeks. Also pay attention to the waiver wire. See if people over react and make stupid drops such as Ben Tate while injured.

Unfortunately it was worded with outs all over the place. Effective immediately, violations of the Personal Conduct Policy regarding assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault that involve physical force will be subject to a suspension without pay of six games for a first offense, with consideration given to mitigating factors, as well as a longer suspension when circumstances warrant. Among the circumstances that would merit a more severe penalty would be a prior incident before joining the NFL, or violence involving a weapon, choking, repeated striking, or when the act is committed against a pregnant woman or in the presence of a child. A second offense will result in banishment from the NFL; while an individual may petition for reinstatement after one year, So basically the first offense is 6 games maybe more maybe less. Then it is a lifetime ban that lasts one year.

From what I heard on the radio (no vouching for accuracy) the Casino that it happened at is going out of business. This removes all legal ramifications of the video leaking (who can be sued if there is no company?) and could explain why it hasn't leaked before. That said the part that stinks (as in I don't believe it) the most about the NFL not having seen the video is that they said the police is who they use for their investigations, the police in due dilligence should have received/got a warrant for that video, which would have made it accessible to the NFL. I'm not buying that they didn't see it for a second. I hope for exactly the reason you stated but I doubt it. By all accounts Ray Rice was a great guy. Hell he probably is still a great guy but this one action will smear his reputation (deservedly so) forever. It could truly be a one off instance of violence. It could be that they came to an agreement that she would marry him to show solidarity and get paid to do so. It could be that she suffers from battered woman syndrome. It could be a million things but I hope it was simply to divorce him and take half Man there are so many guys with convictions for so many things. Leonard Little killed a guy, Michael Vick killed dogs, Greg Hardy can't stop beating women, etc... He will be back and I would be willing to make a friendly wager with anyone who doesn't think so. Couldn't help but think of Ryan Braun here, Lied about PED use to everyone and Aaron Rodgers even came to his defense, then got pissed when he realized Braun was lying. Me, I would probably just distance myself from that person. Regardless of what I believed my wife would have none of me hanging out with a guy who hits his wife period. Not for nothing but Brandon (and I am not making excuses) has a history of mental disabilities. He has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and has actually become an advocate. Admitting the problem and receiving treatment for it has probably been why he has turned it around. Image is exactly the reason though. Conduct detrimental to the league is a punishable offense. Most companies will terminate an employee that does something that garners this much negative attention. Certainly the medical board would investigate this incident and it could lead to loss of licensure. I understand what you are saying but I think the "league" steps in to dole out punishment because that is Goodell's role as commissioner. He is hired by the owners to deal with exactly this. I agree completely that the Ravens could have and should have been more proactive in how they dealt with this situation. I would have liked to have seen them extend his suspension after it was handed down by the league. I don't disagree with the cutting but that and the "indefinite suspension" are clearly PR moves and that is obnoxious to me as well. Came to this cluster of a thread just to put this here. Should have figured you would have beat me to it

Its a notification that most people expect the thread to get locked so they post in as in "I got in before the mods shut down this redundant, repeated thread" It's the new "first" On that note IN -
I think they thought that this video would never surface. However the casino is closing that this happened in. Therefore the casino is off the hook liability wise so the video can be sold. If the casino was going to still be in business I don't think this video leaks. edit: and what I mean by off the hook is that there is nobody to sue for the leak.

Yup Russel WIlson did it 7 times last year as well. He also threw for less than 250 in all but 4 games last year including the playoffs and his amazing 108 yards passing game. -
Sounds like I wasn't to far off with my train wreck comment. lol
-
I'm sure he will be back but I agree that it probably won't be this year. That said it only takes one team to sign him and if there is a team that is dirty enough to do it, I would vote new england.
-
Great minds but you forgot your asterisk lol
-
He will be on the Pats* within a month. Then we will have to hear about his tremendous growth as a person

section122 replied to Tyrod's Tailor's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
After I read a troll post (yes that is what this is) I always check to see how posts the poster has then I see that you are a mod?!?!?!!? As I said in another thread. I hope you aren't also a Russel Wilson fan because yesterday was a carbon copy of how Wilson has won all that he has won. Throw for about 200 yards to keep the Defense honest and let your run game/defense take care of the rest. -

READ THIS ARTICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moments before that, Manuel sat in the locker room with his headphones on. Generally, the quarterback is quiet before the game, his teammates said. But on Sunday, he ripped his headphones off and started screaming and yelling to get the team fired up. "He turned into like a beast or something and went running through the locker room," Williams said. "I think it hyped everyone up." I will say it again and again I love rooting for this guy. I hope he turns out to be everything we want him to be! :lol: :lol: -
I just had a discussion with a girl at work about this. She was bragging how cheap her gas bill is and I asked her how much she paid for the car. When I then pointed out that she paid about 10 grand more for her prius than she could a car of comparable size she wouldn't listen to me. Just kept talking about how cheap gas was every week. When I asked her how much she was saving over her regular car and gas bill payment vs. prius payment and gas bill she couldn't give me an answer. That said they are great on gas! Soup Salad and breadsticks for 6 or 7$ is a great meal for me. The zuppa tuscana (I'm embarassed as an Italian at how bad I butchered both of those words spelling wise) is delicious! The dressing on their salad is also some of my favorite. Not a place I eat at more than once or twice a year (if that) but I do enjoy it when I go there.

Who Should I start at WR? Please Help!!!
section122 replied to Buffalos#1Fan's topic in Fantasy Football
What a TD catch it was too! Can't believe Derek Anderson is still in the league, can't believe he won a game, can't believe Derek Anderson vs Josh McCown was a match up on opening day, can't believe that Benjamin looked that good! Edit: glad I picked him late in all of my leagues though lol -

Boy I hope you aren't a member of this board that think Russell Wilson was a huge miss by the front office. This is exactly how he has been so successful. Take care of the ball and let your defense/running game win it. It was a very Wilson-esque performance yesterday. -
So it is $100 for the pass for a promotion that runs for 7 weeks. At $9.99 a pop for never ending pasta you would have to eat at Olive Garden 11 times in 7 weeks. How in the world is that supposed to be a good deal? The break even on that is way to high!

Saw that on the ad and my buddy said what does that even mean? Best I could come up with is that she must be a train wreck.

C.J. Spiller's Value in Fantasy Football
section122 replied to johnwalter's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Meh most leagues don't give points for return yardage. -
I haven't seen one person in this thread make this claim. In fact many of us have alluded to the fact that the coaching is a big part for his success in this league.

The part that bothers me the most is this mid round flyer that everyone was so for doesn't state that they knew he would be great. These people are angry that there wasn't a stab in the dark for Wilson and that they are oh so knowledgeable. Yet there are so many mid round misses. In fact almost all of the mid round qb picks are misses. So yes great for any of you that liked Wilson before the draft. All I ask is that you are honest with yourself about how many QBs you liked in other years that didn't work out. Facts: In his last 4 regular season games last year he passed for less than 200 yds in all but 1 (206). This included a game where he threw for 108 yards. In his first playoff game against the saints last year he threw for 103 yards. His high yards in a game last playoffs where HE (lol) led the team to the Super Bowl was 215. All of last year he had 2 games where he threw for more than 300 yards. He had 3 games where his completion % was less that 50 He had 3 more games in the 50s for completion % He threw a pick in all but 5 games last season. See I can play this game too. You have to be blind watching these games to think it is WIlson winning these games and not their Defense and Running Game. I have plenty more stats too if you would like to continue... Yes he is one of the top YOUNG qbs in the game. He also has the benefit of not being asked to do too much. This is a plan that I hope the Bills are planning on following. His development is as much a credit to Wilson as it is to that team around him including the coaches. Why single out Buddy? Everyone did it. Also if you dig around Seattle took him a full round ahead of where they originally planned because they knew/thought that the Bills were going to take him in the 4th. I just put this in here to say good post! I think Wilson is over rated. I don't thikn he is bad by any stretch I just don't think he is an amazing talent capable of strapping a team on his back. Once he gets that big contract the Hawks will go the way of the Ravens ala Flacco. This is exactly where I fall. I think he would have failed in Buffalo. He would have been asked to do too much. He is the benefactor of short fields, tired defenses, phenomenal run game, and excellent coaching. Which of those would have applied to him here? If you check out there stats through their first 10 games I think most ppl would be shocked at how similar they are. Manuel threw for more yard (1972 to 1827) and was close in completion % (61.91 to 58.82) He was also close in td:int (15:8 to 11:9). Wilson did perform better from a W-L perspective but we all have to be smart enough to know you can't view QB performance (especially Wins and Losses) in a vacuum.
