  1. Beckman inherited Buchanan, Pocic, Scheelhaase, Spence, Young, Ferguson,Hugh Thorton, Terry Hawthorne, Johnathan Brown, the current oline, to name a few. Not great but it wasn't completely rid of nice talent. I was fine with Zook being gone but Beckman has been the problem.
  2. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 10:22 AM) Illinois's former defensive coordinator has the same job at UNC, who just happened to give up the most points in school history. Can we please please please get him back then? Dude was incredible here.
  3. ESPN's PR department declined to comment on Lewis' remarks. Lol
  4. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 07:13 PM) Marshawn is a beast. Lol at matthew berry saying he wouldnt take him until the 3rd round. Lot of people were down on him. Up ten with Cam and Alston Jefferson going. He's got Martellus and Antonio Brown. Should be safe. f*** that
  5. Been under a rock. What happened to Reigns? Legit injured?

  7. Welker, Knile Davis, Terrence West, Shonn Green, Chris Ivory or Gerhart for Flex(standard)? Leaning towards West. Would love Knile Davis but f*** late kickoffs and no idea what will happen with Charles. Ivory has been good but splitting touches. Welker tough match up vs Seattle. Also Jason Witten or Niles Paul
  8. QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 19, 2014 -> 12:37 AM) I need help with my second flex spot in a 12 team league. WR Kendall Wright TE Jason Witten WR Torrey Smith WR DeAndre Hopkins Nobody cares about your fantasy team
  9. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) Dwyer arrested for domestic violence. I wish I was joking. And for assaulting his kid. He really did not want to be topped.
  10. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 12:16 PM) I wouldn't think espn.com is doing a story about him if he did that. They only got the lottery perspective. They wouldn't have to be aware or not if he hedged elsewhere.
  11. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) OK, then eat $500 of your profit and fly to Vegas. Or find someone in Vegas to do it for you. Seems like every message board has at least one person who lives in Vegas. He could have for all we know
  12. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 09:12 AM) Here's the big problem with that statement...in probably a majority of domestic violence cases, something bad happened but for various reasons no charges were filed. The NFL still will have to come to a conclusion regarding a suspension in many cases where no charges were filed. For a specific example, look at the Rapelisberger case. He got suspended after a report was issued by the DA saying basically "Something bad happened or nearly happened here but I don't have enough to bring charges". I'm saying that in addition to having no evidence of him having done anything, at least that we know off. Yeah if the cops turn up something, or the nfl does, then suspend him. He doesn't need to be charged for that, just hope there would be any damning evidence before he does go away.
  13. Don't think Mayweather is a good comparison. He was convicted. McDonald was not even charged with anything. No problem whatsoever with him playing. Then again the nfl probably posseses video of him clubbing puppies.
  14. Even bigger lol at that press conference now. Just shows how out of touch with reality the nfl can be.
  15. QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 07:06 PM) It's easier to say they should have been better prepared; generally, one can say that about anything that goes wrong. What they obviously we're not prepared for is a video of a star player knocking his wife out They have had a long history of arbitrarily ruling on drug suspensions and a few higher profile instances (Ben Rothlesberger). So they put mandatory penalties in the CBA. Then Josh Gordon happens. Then Ray Rice happens. All the sudden we've got a heavy-handed, but CBA-required suspension juxtaposed against a plead-out domestic violence arrest with a non-cooperative fiancée who has since become wife. Well s***, how many DV charges do we get a year? 40? 50? Give him a few games. Then the juxtaposition of pothead gets 16 games versus wifebeater gets two games enrages the public...well guess what, folks? Repeat drug offenders in this country get longer jail terms than rapists and murderers sometimes. The NFL is merely following the criminal justice standards. Then the video gets released...oh s***! We better act swiftly! Damage control, damage control...get the hell away from this guy! Well, we see how well that worked. Now we're just arbitrarily acting out of emotion and bowing to public pressure. Rice appeals. Who the hell decided this? On what basis? According to what policy or protocols? Now AP is beating one of his 25 kids out of wedlock with sticks reminiscent of Georgia, circa 1830. How many games does HE get? How will the public react? Should he get indefinitely suspended, only to have him sign with the Bengals next year after the memory fades? I'm sure that would go over well in Minnesota! The entire thing is a mess right now and it's very complex. Let's just put it this way, other than Goodell himself, there's a reason you might be the only person on this planet trying to justify or rationalize how the nfl has responded to these situations. It's been just awful across the board. Actually I shouldn't include Goodell in there because he's admitted as such.
  16. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Hasn't AP thrown some religion at people in the past? Yep. If he's found to be severely and routinely beating his children, he needs to be banned for life.
  17. QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 06:40 PM) I'm sorry, but all evidence suggests you are incorrect. Look at the policies and other statements they've made over the past several weeks...creating new positions, promoting people to new positions, etc. Did you read the Domestic Violence policy they put out a few weeks ago? A) they have people in place to investigate the conduct of their players. B) they've had a long history of dealing with said situations and should have been better prepared to deal with them. That was my point. None of it is incorrect. I'm not sure why you think it could possibly disagree with me. I don't think anyone would.
