This stuff about the Lions contemplating letting Stafford go is nuts. I don’t follow college ball. Is there another Brees → Rivers, or Manning-> Luck in the works over there? (Not that I put Stafford in that tier, but he IS good). Franchise QBs are hard to come by. If I were them I’d just be looking for an OC who isn’t afraid to make use of his strengths by throwing the damned football down the field. Lions OC should be one of the easiest jobs in the league. How hard can it be to draw up Stafford to Johnson / Tate all day long?[/quote]
Yes, they are nuts. There are maybe 2-3 positions depending on who you ask where no matter where your franchise is you do not release or trade if you have an elite player at that position. The QB position reigns supreme in that context. You don’t move on unless you have what you believe is a sure thing waiting. The Lions do not. This is a QB driven league first and foremost, hands down no discussion.
I’ll leave this nugget: During the Viking’s game they said up until today the fastest player this season hit 21.8 MPH… And it was AP. That guy is something else, defying age AND the number of carries he has had.
Being as I was bitching about the Bills getting bad calls against, and the refs sucking, I’m inclined to admit here that the Dolphins got fucked on some calls (non calls) today. If Miller held Suh any tighter he’d have to make him breakfast in the morning. And even though the score was similar, the Dolphins played a much better game today than the first meeting. Bills D still awful to watch. Fuck I miss Schwartz. The offense is carrying this team.

Dude’s a freak. However (and this is NOT a knock on the man AT ALL), I would be very interested to get a peak in his medicine cabinet.
This is a very important topic. It is important on many different fronts.[/quote]
What are those fronts in your mind? Is one of them the way people are willing to bend over backwards and do pathetic mental gymnastics in order to not place judgement on woman beaters? Is one of them the fact that some people seem to think that production in a fucking game can bring forgiveness for beating the shit out of a woman?

I know and understand no one should be abused. No one should be abused in any setting. [/quote]
But she clearly was in THIS setting. Look at those pictures. She’s bruised literally from head to foot, front and back. That was a sustained beating. It wasn’t a situation like Ray Rice where he got spit on, snapped, and threw a single punch without thinking. Hardy beat her ass for awhile.
[quote]
Whether Greg Hardy committed the allegations as described or not, one thing I will say I believe is that he is at least partly responsible for the outcome.[/quote]
At least PARTLY responsible? Partly? So you think some of the blame could have been hers? What could she have done in your mind that in some way makes her responsible for the specific outcome that occurred here? What could SHE have done to justify the beating he gave her resulting in these specific injuries? Those aren’t bruises inflected when a 6’4", 280lb athlete tried to restrain a MAYBE 120lb woman who was attacking him. You know damn well that’s true. So please be specific in how you think she could be partly to blame for that bruising.

The only person that has assigned me any responsibility in deciding guilt or innocence in this case is you. [/quote]
That is because I’m a Cowboys fan who thinks people like you are an embarrassment. Let me quote you from 10/27, “I became a bigger fan of Hardy over this weekend and I hope he does get extended.” You are a fucking FAN of this piece of shit. You think football is more important than morals. That’s disgusting.
You think passing judgement on people who have been CONVICTED in court of beating the shit out of a woman is a major flaw with our current society?

I believe they are 0-4 since the Great And All Awesome Leader’s Return.

And 0-6 since Romo went down. I could be wrong but I feel like Romo being out has more of an impact on the lack of success than Hardy playing for them does.

Sure, but it’s not nearly as much fun to poke fun at Romo getting hurt as it is pointing out the Great And All Awesome Leader hasn’t really saved them. Shit last night the Eagles OLine was saying he kept quitting on the field as soon as the going got tough…
The Eagle’s OL comments are interesting. Normally I would take it as divisional trash talking, but did anyone see all the times the camera cut to Hardy on the bench? He was ZONED OUT, staring into the abyss?

That’s cool.
I haven’t seen the Eagles quotes today. Last night I saw Hardy giving a lot of effort on a lot plays and looking a little out of it when not engaged on the football field. I’m sure he wasn’t 100%, and that sucks, we really needed that game.
Talib suspended for one game, Rams (really) desperate for an WR after Bailey’s suspension and sign a washed up Welker to what I guess is 4 games, and Dion Lewis has a torn ACL.

This sucks, don’t get me wrong, but I’m infinitely more worried about the OLine than losing Lewis. [/quote]
The OL is concerning, yes. I think Lewis’ loss to the offense, despite what some might call not Godly yardage numbers, is a huge blow. He added such a dynamic presence on third down. The OL situation is bad, but I assume it will get better once everyone is somewhat healthy (barring NS’s season ending injury). What has been helping though is this season (before this last game) Brady has had the quickest release in the NFL and we have the quickest throwing offense at the ball being thrown on average only 2.13 seconds after the snap (if I am quoting ESPN right).
Luck out 2-6 weeks with a lacerated kidney. Just when you thought it was coming together for them, wow. At least MH still seems serviceable (which is crazy considering his age) and their division is so bad chances are they will still win it.
