Cynical

Just change the colors: Bonus! The fans who want a standing Buffalo get their wish.

Then I guess the standing Bison was nothing more than a money grab since it was not the original Bills logo. Suit in front office in 1961: Hey, I got an idea ...

Charging. The standing logo looks like a piece of generic clip art. Personally, I would prefer the charging Buffalo without the "streak."

Yeah, I don't know if I want the NFL looking at a second rate league like the NHL for ideas. This must be a hockey thing, because this isn't even an issue in the NFL. Furthermore, if you are concerned this behavior could become prevalent, then you might to rethink the whole penalty box scenario. Are you trying to protect the players, or come up with new ways to generate more scoring opportunities? If he NFL wants to change the rule regarding personal fouls, I think the NFL needs to look at the college ranks for ideas. The Targeting rule in college is automatically review-able. Why not make Personal fouls review-able in the NFL? Have a replay official give the play a look. If the foul was questionable/unintentional (Jerry Hughes slapping a teammates helmet), the team still gets assessed 15 yards, but the player is allowed back in the game. If it looks like the foul was flagrant/intentional (Talibs facemask), then the replay official can eject the player.

And you would know this how? Lets just gloss over the reality that Rex Ryan has been on it once before, and has no interest in doing it again. Lets focus on two NFL rules regarding this show. 1. If no team volunteers for the show, the NFL will choose one. Kind of an odd rule, don't you think? If teams have nothing to lose, why are they not lining up to appear on it? 2. Teams with first year head coaches are not allowed to appear. Why not? Why do they get a pass? Yet, somehow, people do not grasp in order to get that access, the coaching staff and/or organization might find the process distracting.

Spread offenses in the NFL are not new. Option offenses in the NFL are not new. No huddles offense in the NFL are not new. Mobile QB's in the NFL are not new. There is nothing new in the "college spread" offense that is not already being used or incorporated to some extent in the NFL. Nothing. Rules will have a far bigger impact in determining if the NFL becomes a bigger, full size version of arena football.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Apparently not. "City officials say the trestle can’t grow because of the train tracks above and utility lines below."

Saban was the DC. Schwartz was a scout.

Alabama = Savages! https://youtu.be/tfMdDIxe368

This. There have been many interviews where he has alluded or implied that very thing. The biggest example was Drew Brees. Saban wanted Brees for the QB position while at Miami. He was denied by the Dolphins medical staff. (think about that for minute. Brady and Brees in the AFC East for the past 10 years )

FIFY

No. NO. !@#$ NO. And he can take Goodwin with him.

At the professional level, I can see that being the case. An expectation starts to set in. In the pros, great players stick around, and as long as the team can afford them, the great player is there for many years. So the team can remain great for years. In college, the great player leaves after 2-3 years. In some cases, they only started 1 year, because they sat on the bench behind an upper classman for 1-2 years. Throw in the fact that a coach at the college level is dealing with a completely different roster by their 5th year, each year is a different team. Based on that, each championship feels different. In the 3 NC that Saban has acquired at Alabama, my favorite without a doubt was the one vs LSU. The other 2 do not even come close.

ROLL TIDE ROLL! Buffalo Bandits

http://www.chatsports.com/cleveland-browns/a/exclusive-browns-preparing-offer-urban-meyer-biggest-coaching-contract-nfl-history-24607 Some excerpts: "Following numerous conversations exclusive to Chat Sports over the last month with several of our most trusted sources, we have learned that the Cleveland Browns have plans to fire head coach Mike Pettine and offer Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer the largest coaching contract in NFL history. The contract would also likely include an option for a small equity ownership in the Browns' organization. The sources are close to Browns ownership and have ties to several Big Ten athletic departments." "Our sources tell us that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is leading the pursuit of Meyer, and that he is prepared to give Meyer full front-office control, including the future of GM Ray Farmer." Yea, I'm not buying it. Even if its true, Urban would be an idiot to walk into that dumpster fire.

IIRC, Smart interviewed for the Auburn HC vacancy after Chizik was fired. After the interview, Smart withdrew his interest in the position. So, the majority of Tidefans knew it was only a matter time before he left. Going to UGA is not surprising or shocking. After all, "Momma called."

So LSU decided to keep Les. Good for them. http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/lsu-football/analyzing-decision-to-keep-les-miles/ Sent from my XT1080 using Forum Fiend v1.3.1.

Yet, you expressed an interested in RGIII. I smell a conundrum.

Its a sign alright. Kind of like this one: Mash Me

http://espn.go.com/ncf/story/_/id/14204487/good-possibility-lsu-tigers-buy-les-miles-contract-source I can see both sides of this. LSU wants National Championships, and Les hasn't delivered one in years. The "Tiggers" have now lost 3 straight. Les/LSU have lost to Saban/Bama 5 straight times with little perception that direction will change in the future. However: "He has a 110-32 record at LSU, and his .775 winning percentage is the best of any LSU coach -- including Nick Saban (.750) -- in the past century. Overall, Miles has a 60-27 record in SEC play." Hell, there are numerous college programs would sell their soul to experience that kind of success. LSU can probably get a better HC. But there is also a big possibility they can get a worse one.

Mizzu's Gary Pinkel is stepping down at the end of the season. http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/11/13/gary-pinkel-to-step-down-as-mizzous-hc-over-health-concerns/

Interesting. If the article I read was correct, that's a 2 game suspension according to tOSU policy. But JT has only been suspended for 1 game.

Newsflash: RG III is no longer a rookie. NFL defenses adapt. RG III does not appear to have adapted to the changes. Oh great. I that happens, I can already imagine the cries to acquire Kaep. "He needs a change of scenery! He can rejoin Roman! Superbowl!"
