Yep, they did it to me this year. Unfortunately I am going without this year. I wanted to get my normal rate lower, so I had to sacrifice.
You cancelled and they didn't offer to lower it for you?

Haven't you seen the commercials about the "free" NFL packages offer from
DTV??
Get on the phone and demand the NFL packages for no cost.
I'm sure the overwhelming majority of teams practice this, but I dislike the move with a passion.
A team should be penalized for this and the "dedicated injured player" should be ejected from the game.
Former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, now an analyst for Fox Sports 1, lifted the lid Tuesday off a commonly used practice in college and the NFL.
Urlacher revealed that, during his tenure with the Bears, the team -- like other clubs around the league -- would fake injuries to slow high-powered offenses.
"We had a guy who was the designated dive guy," Urlacher said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Urlacher went on to say that a Bears coach would simulate the diving motion a swimmer makes with his arms, and the player designated as the dive guy "would get hurt."
Urlacher said the team wasn't coached on how to fake injuries but said the practice was part of the Bears' game plan.

I don't think that means hes going to play. If he stays on it, I don't think he can play will week 6 or 7.
Got it. Question. If they make him inactive week one can they snag one of their practice squad players?
I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that you can't do that unless they are PUP or IR. I assume Gronk will be on the Inactive list til he's cleared to play. Teams are supposed to have a list of 8 Inactive players each game, whether the players are injured or not. I think.

Speaking of the number of players that are active on gameday, does anybody else here think that number should be increased from the current
45 players allowed to dress per game?
This might be a rule that is outdated and in need of change. Why not have the team dress 49 or 50 players for each game???
How many of you here place regular
wagers on NFL games?
A friend of mine has been placing bets via an online site for several years. I'm finally taking the plunge and opening an account for myself since this site lifted the ban on "new customers" from USA.
I didn't watch the whole game, did they count this?
No TD
Ruled a touchback.
To make matters worse, Denver LB Wesley Woodyard
hobbled off the field with an injury because he was trying to recover
the loose ball in the end zone

But they're so hyped up and thinking about dancing, that he forgets all about that.
If you see the footage of the entire play, this moron did dance in the back of the end zone.
They he appeared to confront a teammate when that player informed him he dropped the ball prior to scoring.

WTF was Woodyard doing trying to pick the ball up instead of jumping on it?

The only footage I saw of the game was this footage of the non-TD.
I have not seen any footage of how many players attempted to recover
the ball or what specifically Woodyard did

FUCK!
How did his lower leg not break. That had compound fracture written all over it.
All because his ignorant teammate had to showboat into the endzone.
