Yep. $1.5 BILLION to show the NFL. The NFL ain't dead yet.

I was hoping that they would do something different than giving Sunday Ticket back to Directv. Oh well. I'm not the one with the $1.5 bil. checkbook.

The NFL is fine. It's the number 1 sport in the country, and will survive all of these problems.

LOL , It's is the number one sport in the country and pretty close the world it it's making more money than God and because of some public relation problems you think the state of the game is all his fault ,you just hate him and I know why but I like him because he won't let the inmates run wild and I like that .Mark Cuban is a spoiled brat ,until the NBA has the NFL number he needs to STFU.

Not by a long shot. Soccer is still the heavily favorite worldwide.

Remember, Cuban is self made owner. There is a difference. And Im having a hard time understanding you g1, but im mad about numerous things with the game and not just one. The domestic abuse handling and cover up is not one im too upset about, but still an issue because Goodell dropped the ball after the Belcher incident.

Praise TDJ!!
Charlie Whitehurst is one handsome man, says Nashville magazine - CBSSports.com

Thus, this shouldn't surprise you at all. Whitehurst has been named to Nashville Lifestyle's list of the top-25 most beautiful people in Nashville. Make sure you check out that link and find the photo of Whitehurst wearing a hat and doing his best Johnny Depp impression (he said that look was on purpose and, in fact, a tribute to Depp).

It's a pretty big deal, right?

"Taylor Swift is on that list," Whitehurst said, via the Tennessean. "That's all I can say. That legitimized it for me."

A fair point.

But Charlie -- and I know this is a sports website, but bear with me for a moment -- what kind of maintenance do you do on those brown locks of yours?

"It's kind of weird, there is no maintenance," Whitehurst said. "I wash it about twice a week. You don't have bed-head. You put it in a ponytail and you go. So it's virtually no maintenance, which is what people would not expect."

Unfortunately for Whitehurst, he's likely to be relegated to backup status this week as Locker is expected to return. But damn if he won't look good sitting on the bench.

Another crappy nfl Thursday night game, shocker

[CrustyRedskin]

Vikings are fixing to get a good ol nationally televised strumming, Redskin style!!

[skinsfan69]

The NFL needs to dump these Thursday games and just leave it for Thanksgiving. The games suck, the players hate it, so do the coaches. I turned it off. Christian Ponder? No thanks.

[SirLK26]

I bet this game would be a lot closer if Teddy were playing. He was able to avoid the pressure last week and still make plays.

Oh, and no matter what Minnesota thinks, Ponder still sucks. As we're seeing tonight...

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.
