Pushing back trade deadline from week 6 to week 8 was tabled until May. More discussion with NFLPA needed.

can the eagles retroactively get a review for that non-fumble fumble against atlanta?

[Sgt PSN]

As a football fan in general, I don't like the replay rule. 

As an Eagles fan, I farging LOVE IT!  This is one less scenario where we have to worry about Reid either wasting a challenge or stubbornly not throwing the flag. 

[SunMo]

i don't know why they don't adopt the college rule where someone upstairs reviews every play.

(AP) GREAT FALLS, Mont. - Authorities say former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been arrested in his Montana hometown on burglary and drug possession charges.

Great Falls Police Sgt. Dean Bennett says Leaf was arrested Friday afternoon.

The circumstances surrounding Leaf's arrest are not immediately clear. Bennett says he hasn't seen a report detailing the allegations.

Cascade County Detention Center Officer Robert Rivera says Leaf was booked on charges of burglary of a residence, theft and felony criminal possession of dangerous drugs.

Leaf was freed on $76,000 bond and is scheduled to make an initial court appearance Monday.

The former San Diego Chargers first-round pick has had several past run-ins with the law. In 2010, he pleaded guilty in Amarillo, Texas, to various drug charges and was sentenced to 10 years' probation and fined $20,000.

Ha, this guy is a train wreck. Lol at the last line, that he has a publicist.

HELENA, Mont. (AP)

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was arrested again Monday, just days after he posted bail on similar charges that he burglarized a home and stole prescription drugs, authorities said.

JaMarcus Russell was bad, but who tops our list of the biggest draft bust in NFL history?

Leaf was first arrested on Friday after police found oxycodone pills in his golf bag that an acquaintance later said Leaf stole from his home. Then early Monday, three days after posting a $76,000 bond, he was arrested again, Central Montana Drug Task Force Commander Chris Hickman said.

''It's based on a burglary that happened yesterday afternoon after he bailed out,'' Hickman said.

Leaf was scheduled to make an initial court appearance in Great Falls on Monday afternoon on two felony counts of burglary, two felony counts of criminal possession of a dangerous drug, two misdemeanor counts of theft and a probation violation.

Bond has been set at $101,000 for the burglary, theft and drug charges, but the probation violation charge does not carry a bond so Leaf cannot be released from jail, Hickman said.

A call to Leaf's publicist was not immediately returned Monday.

they need to do a 30 for 30 on him and the leaf/manning thing

especially now

[Sgt PSN]

I'm guessing there's already something on it in the works and they're just waiting to see what else Leaf is going to do to himself before getting to work on it.

Right.  Because that story hasn't been told enough times.

The Nike NFL unveiling is going on now.  The big white equipment shield is gone from the collar of the jerseys and they're back to looking like the 90s.  The new Seahawks jawns are coming up next.  They're now navy blue, gray and lime green...


EDIT: here they are

I got a problem with anything neon. It's one of the big problems I have with Nikes sneakers as well. All these hodge podge of neon friggin colors shoes.

When it comes to the NFL keep it classic and take that XFL shtein down the block.

Agreed.

The Classic Seahawks jerseys, as bad and plain as they were, are looking more and more awesome the worse their new jersey's get.

It seems as if teams in the 70's and 80's (with the exception of the Buccaneers) had it right when it came to uniforms.

[ice grillin you]

the sherman smith seahawk jerseys were pretty much the opposite of bad
