So, this happened today. NFL.com slideshow.

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

Ed wins again

I somehow missed half a dozen comments in this thread. Awesome. I shall leave mine there for pointing and laughing purposes. At me or the uniform, either works.

Vilma called out Peter King on Twitter last night:

SI_PeterKing
Curtis Lofton, Chris Chamberlain, David Hawthorne. Get the message, Jonathan Vilma?

JonVilma51
@SI_PeterKing: that u know how to type peoples names??

JonVilma51
@SI_PeterKing reckless journalism is beneath you sir. You've become a glorified blogger

SI_PeterKing
@JonVilma51 It's the NFL investigation, Jonathan. Not me.

JonVilma51
@SI_PeterKing the nfl investigation has NOTHING to do with ur tweet. You've now turned into a blogger who takes shots at players on twitter

SI_PeterKing
not going to go back and forth with you, enjoy your night sir.

KO. Was there a bounty on Peter King?

Perhaps I don't understand the vernacular, but it would appear that King called Vilma out..and got pWn3d.

That's how I read it. 

Also, kudos to Vilma for being able to communicate coherently online.  When his career is done, I'm sure there's a sports writer job waiting for him in Brownsville.

Personally I'm ready to hit something...which is the purpose. I've heard a lot worse.

Williams really likes head

[Sgt PSN]

The audio seems pretty tame in the beginning.  Then he starts naming individual players and targeting specific parts of their bodies.  Gore has had concussion issues, Davis has had ankle injuries.  I don't think Crabtree has had any knee problems but he still specifically mentions taking out his ACL.  I'd honestly be surprised if Payton gets a reduction in his suspension and Williams is probably not going to be back any less than 3 years from now...if ever.

So the fella who released the locker room audio was following ex-Saints S Steve Gleason around helping him document his last days for his son. Gleason has ALS and is making a video journal for his kid to have when he dies. All recordings were agreed to be property of Gleason and their release had to be approved and he did not approve this dude to release them.

What a fleshpopish move on the filmmakers part.
