[NFL] Gridiron Wars (2016 NFL Off-Season Thread)

Heh. No cheating occurred. Because it was shown that how they test the balls is ridiculously unreliable. As in a preschooler could have done a better job of testing.
"Within spec"

EDIT: for @HCGLNS - Because the tolerances in the spec must have been listed with enough leeway to account for their sloppy testing method. That must be why it passed.

Oh gosh no. The actual testing was much more open for interpretation. Imagine if you will being asked to measure the height of a class of first graders to the nearest CM and the only tool you have is a cardboard cut out of Shaquille O'Neal.

I think the biggest indication of how badly the NFL and Roger Goodell screwed up is that they made Tom Brady into a sympathetic figure.
Really if they wanted Tom Brady to look bad they should have hired a courtroom illustrator as part of their team.
 
So - prognostidigiation time.

New England, Cincinnati, Houston, Denver, KC and Indy as your playoff teams in the AFC; Giants, Atlanta, Seattle, Lions and the Cowboys all chasing the Pack.

And my prognostication for Super Bowl L... er, I mean, "50": last year's champion loses to the team whose head coach won the first Super Bowl. :)

So who will the Jets be playing in the actual Super Bowl? :p

Don't look at me. You're the one who put them there by trying to be all cute and cryptic. [emoji13]

This is going to be one of those years where I'm glad to sleep through the entire season. My Terrible Towel is still at the bottom of a laundry basket. After signing Vick, I was ready to just toss it in the trash.
 
Back on June 1st, the local CBS station in Wausau, WSAW bought the Fox station that serviced most of central Wisconsin, WFXS 55 based out of Rhinelander. This wouldn't be a problem otherwise, but it has suddenly taken a turn for the sour here in the northern part of central Wisconsin - because they have not switched the HD signal over due to licensing issues.

Guess what definition level I have to watch the Bears-Packers game in?
 
It was. People were getting so hyped. Might've been the loudest I've ever heard the Ralph. Probably gonna top it next week though. Mr. Brady is coming to town.

Dez gone? Check!

Romo broken collar bone and gone? Check!

Cowboys going to have a very difficult rest of season? Yes.

:aaah:
 
I am genuinely surprised that the Panthers beat the Seahawks and that we are sitting at 5-0. I thought we were done for when Kelvin Benjamin went out for the season.

I wouldn't be surprised - you guys played a good, hard-fought game, and didn't give up and roll over in the 4th quarter.
