However hot you think she is on camera, double it. She is just, I mean every cliche about beauty applies to her.

She's almost smart and funny

Freudian slip - "almost"? Or should it have read "also"?

Pretty funny.

So the NFL is supposed to know ahead of time that all these teams on the losing side of TNF would have had injured or suspended players?

I agree that the games are a big inconvenience for the teams. But some of the these blowouts took place due to unforeseen circumstances (injuries, suspended players, etc., etc.). The first two games were pretty competitive games. And coming up there are some evenly matched team on the docket.

thursday night games were a bad idea to begin with, the turnover is too quick. Teams are not prepared and guys are not 100%, it makes for bad football. The product is getting worse, but hey at least football is making a boatload of money. That what really matters.

Money ruined the NBA and has devastated Nascar. Nascar is barely watchable.

They really need to plan for the Thursday night teams to have byes before that game. I understand that nobody complains about the teams playing on Thanksgiving, but still, it's pretty brutal - especially if you're playing back to back division games.

Its really been amazing to watch, but a ton has changed and not overnight. I think in order to "family-tise" it for media and corporate sponsorship has done the most damage. Over haul of the image made it terrible. But if you look today, you have stuff like 4 car, multi team orgainizations where its become like a franchises which is horrible because we've eliminated the independents and smaller team which were the heart of the sport. The rules and regulations of basic racing has been terrible. Changes to the cars which made them basically all the same...the manufactures used to have more input, and cars were different. Also it less about the drivers and more about the cars...meaning the drivers and their driving styles have been eliminated. The points systems and the playoffs...cant find the right combo, but I think actually this year way makes the most sense.

There is alot more, but those are the beginning. Nascar has lost a ton of folks, ESPN has stepped away, folks arent going to the races like they use to...and its easy to see why.

Thank god the skins didn't sign him. The saints will probably be better without him.

People here were going crazy when we didn't sign Byrd.

And we wonder why the professionals tune our voices out. :)

Through four 2014 games, Pro Football Focus has graded Byrd 65th of 76 qualifying safeties. (Kenny Vaccaro, his Saints safety mate, is ranked dead last in PFF’s ratings.) And appearing on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast earlier this week, NFL Films senior producer Greg Cosell opined that Byrd might be “playing the worst” of any safety in the NFL this season, pointing to missed tackles as a big problem for the ex-Bill.

I don't get a front office that seem to base their moves with a cold pettiness that is finally catching up with them. If they were honest, the WR that should been cut is amendola, but they are not gonna admit when they are wrong. The fo, coaches and team looks dysfunctional...why is the media giving these guys break? I think Kraft bears responsibility as well, but the media would never criticize him. Fact is they haven't won a Super Bowl since they stop cheating. Fact

Every show is just 4-6 people talking at each other,not saying much. Then they cut away for human interest/puff piece. I am surprised there are not more "X's & O's" type shows/segment, NFL Playbook or the stuff from Ron Jaworski. I find that type of show interesting and has a little more depth to it.

Just looked on espn and saw that St. L has made it a game with Philly. Philly might be the best team in our division but they are not going far with that defense.

<sigh> Already last in the division, and every team ahead of us wins, with us likely to get a curb stomping tomorrow night...

The NFC East is no longer the worst division, IMO. Dallas and Philadelphia both have plenty of flaws, but they're winning anyway. NY is looking solid too. And then there's... you know, [I]us[/I]… but we're not as bad as last year either.

The gap between us and the Eagles/Cowboys getting that much wider. Well, at least we get to keep our first rounder this year. Too bad it's going to be a shit draft.

I love the NFL Network Sun am show. Those guys don't take themselves so seriously and just have fun with it. Today Irvin just killed Wilbur Marshall. They were talking about players that they were afraid of. Although if a white guy said what Irvin did he would have been fired on the spot. Needless to say I was lol for about 10 minutes.
