The NFL Thread

Did not take long for Vilma to proclaim his innocence.
What a joke!!! I thought this guy was a man. He wants the public to believe others are lying about him. Give us a break already.


Vilma released a statement later Wednesday denying any role in the alleged bounty program and vowing to fight his suspension.

"I am shocked and extremely disappointed by the NFL's decision to suspend me for the 2012 season. Commissioner Roger Goodell has refused to share any of the supposed evidence he claims supports this unprecedented punishment. The reason is clear: I never paid, or intended to pay, $10,000, or any amount of money, to any player for knocking Kurt Warner, Brett Favre or any other player, out of the 2009 divisional playoff game, 2010 NFC Championship Game, or any other game.

"I never set out to intentionally hurt any player and never enticed any teammate to intentionally hurt another player. I also never put any money into a bounty pool or helped to create a bounty pool intended to pay out money for injuring other players. I have always conducted myself in a professional and proud manner. I intend to fight this injustice, to defend my reputation, to stand up for my team and my profession, and to send a clear signal to the commissioner that the process has failed, to the detriment of me, my teammates, the New Orleans Saints and the game."

Nobody except Drew Brees believes him.

Just heard a Saints fan call into Chicago sports radio and say, 'As a Saints fan I don't really care about the suspensions. We don't play any defense anyway'.

I laughed.

It's true. Our defense has been shit past 2 years. Makes the whole scandal funny to me.

Patriots sign RB Joseph Addai.

Good news for Cowboys fans: I still question his durability because I followed Murray when he played in College. The guy does get injured often.


After months of rehabbing his surgically-repaired ankle, running back DeMarco Murray is anxious for some on-field workouts with his teammates.

“It’s going great,” Murray said Wednesday during the Cowboys Golf Classic. “Just happy to be around the guys, happy to be able to catch some footballs. I’ve been working out since the season ended so I’m excited to get things rolling a little bit. Rehab is great. I’m definitely cleared and ready to go.”

Any sentence that starts with "Good news for Cowboys fans..." and doesn't end with "...Jerry Jones has died" is simply fool's gold for you idiots.

Justin Blackmon busted for DUI
A police spokesperson says Blackmon took a breathalyzer test and blew a whopping .24 -- three times the legal limit.
Why is it that most OK St. wide receivers
don't make the right decisions in their life
or don't live up to high expectations in the NFL???

Patriots sign TE Bo Scaife.

Patriots to release Ochocinco.

Patriots to release Ochocinco.

The Redskins previous management, 4 years ago, wanted to trade TWO first round picks for him.

Dumbest trade ever, right?

Well, the Bengals turned them down, so who's stupider?

[Facedown]

They tried all day to trade him but no takers.

You know what? When you can drink yourself to 3 times the legal limit, the limit is too fucking low.

It may be that the limit is too low, but your logic here is lacking.
The fact you can sit and drink to x times the limit has nothing to do with the point at which your driving might become impaired.

When you can drink 3 times the legal limit and not pass out, you've got a high tolerance. That guy obviously drinks a lot.

I missed the Whiny Bitch portion of his career..what happened?

He seemed like a team player in NY.

[Facedown]

Cried when he lost...which was a lot.

Sounds like San Diego sour grapes to me. He was easily one of the top 10 or so backs ever.
