NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

Glad there is finally some justice for Taylor. Was such a beast on the field and seemed like a good guy |I

Offense > Defense in a Pro Bowl

I know
Just wishful thinking about if they actually got to play hard in a meaningful game together.

Jerry Rice's 1st string Offense and Deion Sanders' Defense :x

Brees, Shady, Graham, Alshon, & Josh Gordon

J.J., Suh, McCoy, Hardy, Kuechly, Suggs, Pat Peterson, Revis, Eric Berry, Weddle

Ryan Mallett? **** it, is David Carr still backing up Eli?

I watched about ten minutes of the draft, and the attempted excitement is

I don't think Sherman meant bad at all, but he has to know better than to "congratulate" your opponent before the game is even over, right when a huge play just erased all the 49ers had worked for. If he had waited until the game was over and shook Crab's hand I doubt he would have that kind of reaction. If I were in Crab's shoes I would be pissed too. It's like rubbing salt in a fresh wound. I don't blame Crabtree one bit for shoving him aside.

I don't think it was genuine given a) the past animosity that's been reported and b) he should know better after playing sports for this long. The only times I've run over to someone right after a play was to a) check if they're injured or b) to mock them. Crabtree wasn't injured.

That said, I'm fine with Sherman and am looking forward to next week. And you may be right about Sherman's intentions as I don't really know him that well and I could imagine someone thinking it was a good idea at the time.

[DeadsetAce]

you guys need more than just cameras....

 

[jewbacca]

Justice served, although not enough for the Taylor family of course........

Justice is never served when an innocent man loses his life.

[dmxfury]

@ the Sean Taylor family situation.

They shoulda just kept it in a warm weather city or a dome. All that "football should always be played outdoors!" is fake tough guy talk. The Super Bowl is an event, you shouldn't have to worry about the weather effecting it. I hope it's a blizzard just to make the NFL look dumb.

Sooooo various meteorologists that I have listened to have predicted a huge snow storm that will make the game be on that Saturday. The NFL is fine with a little bit of snow, and for the stadium crews, make the game clean up before the snowstorm rather than after.

They aren't considering it Monday/Tuesday as that wouldn't be feasible due to the amount of snow, people that spent 1000s on tickets etc.

I see 28 degrees and 70% chance of snow for this Saturday. Don't see much for next Saturday (February 1st).

EA may get her wish. She doesn't handle the cold well.

BS if they move the Super Bowl date

BS if they move the Super Bowl date

I don't know if the UFC 169 card at Prudential Center on Saturday, February 1st, has any impact on moving dates.

Goodell to consider removing league's ban on marijuana if doctors advise it as a treatment for concussions...

That's surprising...

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

This why you have the SuperBowl in warm climate
