for me it's just because I want to see pittsburgh lose

I picked Pittsburgh because if they win, the Patriots will likely be #1 in the AFC east by 4:30 on sunday :lol

 

[Barrage]

Miami at Pittsburgh
Baltimore at Tampa Bay
Atlanta at Carolina(Hey, I counter-picked last year, and the Panthers made it to the NFC Championship. Might as well test it this year. Not to say my picks have anything to do with the Panthers winning, of course.
Denver at St. Louis
Buffalo at New England
Philadelphia at Houston
New Orleans at Cleveland
Seattle at Detroit
NY Jets at Tennessee
Cincinnati at Kansas City
Chicago at Green Bay
Dallas at Jacksonville

Karkand, I'm currently in VERMONT and I'm a hardcore Vikings fan. I catch about 6-7 games every year and try to attend a few. Nomar can root for whoever he likes. Stop being a prick.

You misunderstand. The Vikings didn't have a (just shy of) five decade history of playing in Vermont, then abandon it and win a Super Bowl a couple of years later after never being able to do so in the Green Mountain State.

But whatever, if I'm being a prick here I'll back off.

UH OH STEELERS FANS!!!

ben roflsberger underwent emergency appendectomy today.

Ben Roethlisberger underwent emergency appendectomy on Sunday and is expected to spend the night in a Pittsburgh-area hospital. It is unknown exactly how long the Steelers QB might be out, but it is expected that he will miss Thursday's season opener against the Dolphins.

THE CHARLIE BATCH ERA BEGINS!!!!


:lol there's no way the steelers win this week. probably no heinz and definitely no Rofls?

edit: gotta edit again... Steelers only kept 2 QBs, too. Oh man. If Batch becomes the Charlie Batch we all know and love, than you guys will have Santonio Holmes at QB. Ruh roh. Time to go resign Touchdown Tommy Maddox.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

In that case I change my pick to the Dolphins. 13 road teams FTW!

Yeah, heard about it hours ago. Actually, Wilson is their emergency QB. But they signed Omar Jacobs to their practice squad, they can always make a move to activate him. Why they didn't keep him on the 53 man roster to begin with is a mystery to me though. If Hines also doesn't play, then forget it, Dolphins win. If Ward plays, they always have a chance.

The good news, if only slight, is that they locked up Ike Taylor with a new deal.

Chargers Linebacker Steve Foley Shot By Officer
(AP) SAN DIEGO Chargers linebacker Steve Foley was shot by an off-duty policeman in front of his suburban home Sunday. Coach Marty Schottenheimer said the wounds were not life-threatening.

"All we're worried about is that he's OK," Schottenheimer told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

The early morning shooting occurred after the officer reported seeing a suspected drunken driver weaving in and out of traffic on an area highway and attempting to pull him over, said sheriff's Lt. Dennis Brugos.

"My understanding is he was shot three times in front of his house by an off-duty officer and that he's in surgery," Foley's agent, David Levine, told The Associated Press.

Paramedics were called to the suburban San Diego neighborhood at 3:47 a.m. and transferred a trauma victim to Sharp Memorial Hospital, according to a fire department dispatcher.

Hospital spokeswoman Kathy Gambito said she did not have any information on a patient named Steve Foley.

"We have confirmed that linebacker Steve Foley was shot early this morning," team spokesman Bill Johnston said in a statement. "We'll try to provide more information as it becomes available. Right now all of our thoughts are with Steve."

Foley has played eight seasons in the NFL, for Cincinnati, Houston and San Diego.

The shooting came eight days before the Chargers were scheduled to open the season at Oakland, and was the second time in four months that Foley has been involved in an incident with police.

Foley was arrested April 21 on charges of resisting arrest after police said he scuffled with officers. Foley also was booked on charges of battery on a police officer and public drunkenness.

The district attorney's office said recently it was not pursuing charges against Foley in that incident.

Lemme get this straight....so Foley was shot in front of his house, by an off-duty cop who followed him for 25 miles without calling for uniformed backup? And the cop shoots him because he he doesn't stop approaching a man in front of his house who claims to be a cop?

Good grief...

 

[Mooreberg]

oh god if ben plays and then the steelers win then we will hear about his heroics for the whole season.

ESPN news had a statement from Cowher saying he's out for the opener and will be "week to week" after that. Dolphins just caught a huge break, unless the Steelers do a Carson Palmer on Culpepper's knee.

my guess is it was called in as a DWB

I was watching the NFL Network at a party a few hours ago the Miami/St. L game and both these items scrolled by back to back on the ticker... everybody there looked at each other and was like... wtf? So Ben is out and Hines is questionable...

Crazy Sunday.

 

[Archaix]

Wait! I've got it. This is all an elaborate plan to get Calvin Johnson without actually having Ben hurt his record.


Genius!

Houston Texans fans said they wanted the top college Running Back on their team. But they didn't say from what year!:lol

Thomas Jones is the Bears' starting back! Hah, people laughed at me when I took him over Benson, but now I've got Tomlinson, Kevin Jones, and Thomas Jones (along with DeAngelo Williams who will be starting by midseason!). It feels good to not have questionable backs (unlike a certain someone who has Portis, McGahee, and Taylor! ;p).

While tommorow will be bad for the Miami Hurricanes as they get obliterated by my Noles, the University will be able to take pride in the fact that two of their finest led me to a GAF Fantasy football title!

And the first bad game Jones had, Benson will be in. He isn't going to be getting paid 4th overall pick money to sit on the bench.

It doesn't matter because the moment Jones is demoted, the Bears defense will beat the shit out of Benson during practice so Jones can start again!

I just made the pick comparing Dante Culpepper to Toothless Ben(who isn't going to be playing as well as he used to for a while anyway).

Steelers | Roethlisberger will probably miss Week 2
Sun, 3 Sep 2006 22:57:21 -0700

Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburg Post-Gazette, reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (appendix) will miss Week 1 and will probably be out for Week 2.

So looks like he is out for week 2, as well.

Its all over steelers fans. Enjoy being 0-0 while it lasts!

Those all counting on Charlie Batch to be a bad QB apparently haven't been watching him lately. He's not Big Ben...but he's certainly NOT Tommy Maddox either.

If the season ended today, the Steelers wouldn't make the playoffs.
