NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Joe - on my one bench, i have 5 guys on a bye, so i have no reserves this week! GREAT drafting by me. haha.

 

did you guys catch this thing with cam newton and the female reporter? i feel they are making more of it than it should be. sexist remarks? everyone is so sensitive these days.

Cat they are completely correct that he was over the line. Why can't women know about football? It's many of their jobs to know about it. Instead of answering the question he had to make a remark like that and laugh? Also if we are to believe the reporter he did not make it better when they spoke off the record shortly after.



He hasn't seemed to grow up yet. If anything he was an idiot in the least for even saying it and thinking it wouldn't bite him.

 

Amendonla and Beckwith did well for me last night. Amendola had some yards called back which sucks but Beckwith has been solid taking over with David and Alexander out.

Tampa probably wins that game with a better kicker but it would have changed the entire late-game dynamic. For instance Gostkowski likely nails a FG instead of a punt at the 2 (which Tampa drove to score a TD on). So in the only truly acceptable alternative, New England at least has 3 more points, so Tampa couldn't have simply kicked a FG to win it in the end if they made their chip shot.

yeah well Joe, she is no Saint either and has messed up in the past with comments she made...

 

2 wrongs don't make a right. Doesn't change anything about Cam.

Also shame on her but shame on people that have to dig up dirt on people the moment they get famous.

Guys this is why you need to look through all your Facebook and twitter things that use your real name or can be tracked to it and delete all messages which could bite you. Not just for instant fame biting you back but for work among other things.

 

Agreed. It was really demeaning.

 

i don't know if you are referring to me about "digging up dirt" Joe. the post i found was actually in the same article about Cam and the reporter. So someone else did the digging.

But you are 1000% right - no one is safe. i could get discovered for one of my screenplays, it gets made into a big movie and i somehow win a screenwriting Oscar. i bet every girl i hooked up with will come out of the woodwork bashing me about how i mistreated them 20 yrs later or made them do the "walk of shame" home as i went back to bed. with camera phones now - celebs need to be Saints out there or else face the backlash of their actions.

 

I'm not referring to you. I mean the media. CNN even blackmails people. It gets despicable.

 

no one can fart without someone putting them on blast. i know people hate celebrities but they can't even go out to eat or go to an airport without being hounded. im sure it gets old fast. someone always has a camera !

20 yrs of stories now surfacing over the head of the Weinstein movie group ! 20 YRS WORTH ! No is safe. Now it looks like Harvey is a dirtbag pervert, but people bringing up 20 yr old stories. wow.

 

Odell's foot twisted outward against his calf with his toes pointing to his knee.

That is definitely season ending and possibly career threatening.

 

Teams will be lining up to pay him the highest contract in NFL history now. It wasn't happening even if he was healthy. I could see him just walking away without even trying to come back from it.

 

“Maybe I don’t have it anymore,” Roethlisberger said, via Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Media.

Asked what he meant, Roethlisberger said, “I’m not playing well enough.”

Not exactly the words you want to hear coming from your QB. His statement has lead some to wonder if his head or heart are in the right place. Ben definitely bummed. In my opinion its just 1 game... forget it, learn from it and move on.

 

^ben is getting up there in age and threw 5 int's and now i read brown's tantrum a few weeks ago was bc of the tunnel/national anthem thing? wow. pittsburgh is turning into an episode of the jersey shore! he has 2 rings and is probably a lock for Canton or damn close. does he have anything left to play for ?

 

He has millions of reasons to keep playing.

 

Miami Dolphins...

It didn’t take long for the strange story of Dolphins offensive line coach Chris Foerster to reach its logical conclusion.

The Dolphins issued a statement saying Foerster is resigning his post today.


“I am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions,” he said. “I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professionals.”

After video of Foerster snorting white powder with a rolled up $20 bill emerged last night, the Dolphins issued the kind of statement that you issue when you don’t know what else to say.

This morning, they added a little more.

“We were made aware of the video late last night and have no tolerance for this behavior, the team statement read. “After speaking with Chris this morning, he accepted full responsibility and we accepted his resignation effective immediately. Although Chris is no longer with the organization, we will work with him to get the help he needs during this time.”

Foerster’s the second offensive line coach they’ve had to jettison in recent years, after Jim Turner was let go as a result of the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito bullying scandal.

^^ to tack on Will's post with a video of him doing coke. HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE ? In a tech savvy world, why would you ever tape yourself doing coke ? wow!

 

he already has concerns of CTE. He has enough money. he has 2 rings. no need to keep playing if the team goes in the tank this year.
