Right after Romo was brought up yesterday I checked my mail and received the new ESPN magazine. Any way someone can post the cover for me?

Both Mannings, Brady, Romo, Brees, RG3 could all be retired in the next 3 years.

Pretty much sums up these conversations.

No shot.

Not even because I'm a Cowboys fan but there haven't been many athletes in my time that I would feel extremely happy for if/when they win the big one.

Cosign the bold. It took Peyton Manning 9 seasons before he won his first chip at age 31 if memory serves correct.

Would you mind giving a brief summary of what's mentioned in that issue? I'm actually interested in purchasing a copy when I get out of work.

Haven't delved into yet, man. Sorry. I'll get to it tonight probably and let you know if you still haven't bought it.

They sometimes post it for Insiders on the site. I'll see if I can find it.

FYI . again , not trying to say this play was the reason the Pats lost , but interesting nonetheless

LOL ESPN putting their capes on for the Pats... Not surprised.

that only-child bitterness

I had $$$ on the Pats... I wish there was a flag there to give them another shot.

I just didn't see Gronk make a real attempt to come back through Keueueuechly to make a play on the ball, just let him ride him to the back of the endzone.

Just sayin there's been plenty worse calls than this and ESPN got the Sports Science boys on high alert to figure out if the Pythagorean Theorem x Newtons 3rd law of Gronkmotion can be used to prove Gronk could have "maybe made a play on the ball".

Sports Science? LOL.

You Patriots fans are better than this...

Interesting stat: Eli is throwing an INT more frequently at a rate of 10 less pass attempts per INT compared to last season. I have the exact numbers in the office. Like 31 pass attempts last year. 21 this season per pick.

I believe he only has 3 TD in the 4 game winning streak.

Already surpassed last season's INT total of 15 with 17 this year.

DJ Hayden placed on IR

Groin?

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Raiders have placed first-round pick, CB DJ Hayden, on IR.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Groin?

Yep! I'm not ready to call him a bust, he missed all of Training Camp

 

[champcruthik]

I like him a lot. One injury wrought year won't change my opinion one bit.

Crazy how DJ and Milli haven't exactly panned out so far given their high selections.

 

[do work son]

Groin?

Yep! I'm not ready to call him a bust, he missed all of Training Camp

the fact that he's alive is still a miracle. good to place him on IR. let him fully recover and come back at full strength. i think he'll be a decent player in this league

Skins insider just tweeted that an unnamed player tried to fight Keith Burns (ST Coach) in practice.
