West Point's pillow fight was more dangerous...

True, but one of those turds is going to drop further back in the division from the Pats.

And that should pretty much do it for the Miami Dolphins this season. Participation awards all around!

That was one of the most TERRIBLE displays of professional football I have ever seen.  Even the Brits, who got roped into Wembley when they thought they were taking a Jet to Miami, knew that you should run Miller to slow the blitz and THEN throw the ball.

Ah, Joe Philbin. Just talented enough to game plan his way out of possible success at every turn. If weak and ineffectual is what you're looking for, then Joe's your man.

Listening to the Texans coach yesterday after the game, he expects to be fired before the end of the season.

There were some real garbage games yesterday. Ugh.

Hey, those weaponized pillows ended up causing serious damage!

I think you're referring to wrist sprain from observing the female cadets' fights, no?

You probably missed the original news story. There were 30-odd injuries at this year's pillow fight, including concussions and broken ribs

Let this be known as the week it happened again: Number 50 for Seattle tapped a Megatron fumble out of the end zone, causing a touchback and Seahawks ball.  Seattle got a first down and ran the clock out.  Game over.  Seattle wins.  As that crazy old man on College Gameday says, "Not so fast, my friend!"

You see, by aiding the ball out of the back of the end zone, Seattle committed a penalty.  The result should have been: the ball reverts to the team who last possessed it, at the spot of the last possession, and 10 Yards added to the spot of last possession.  So, First and 10 at the Seattle 6 inch line.

Now, there's no guarantee Detroit wouldn't have pissed away their opportunity.  6 inches is STILL not in the end zone, but, all the Lions needed was 3 to tie.  The touchdown likely would have sealed the win for Detroit.  Instant replay comes back to bite the NFL in the ass.  I hope it blows up in Goodell's face.  Bring on the Yanks and the Astros!!!
