He's an asshole.  He didn't even look good in the exhibition game either.  The Dolphins may cut him.

Has always struck me as an attention whore anyway. Last thing the Fins need is an ego-maniac like him IMHO.

Absolutely agreed.  :yes:

I'm not sure who I will be pulling for this season. I'm leaning toward Denver for obvious reasons. (Manning and Stokely. sic? - I like both of them and hope they do well this season).

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Six-time Pro Bowl receiver Chad Johnson was released Sunday night by the Miami Dolphins, about 24 hours after he was arrested in a domestic battery case involving his wife, a person familiar with the decision said. . .

So the Dolts, winners of the suck for Luck contest last year, spanked the Rams 38-3 today in a pre-season match-up. . . Luck threw a short screen for his first NFL pass and it resulted in a 63 yard TD run by Brown.  (Longer than Manning's first NFL toss to Marvelous Marvin for the same result).

And while some may be so naive as to think this is a good omen, I would point out to them that the Dolts of the past rarely won a pre-season match-up. . .

Preseason has little meaning to guage the upcoming season.....but, it is always "fun" to see your team do good as long as you don't assume that means THIS is the way things will go when the REAL seaons starts.  It WAS a very cool way for Luck to start his career off though...

Indianapolis Colts: It's another concussion for receiver Austin Collie

http://www.indystar.com/article/20120820/SPORTS03/120820044/Indianapolis-Colts-s-another-concussion-receiver-Austin-Collie?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|IndyStar.com

When the hell is the NFL going to declare this guy ineligible to play football?!  :mad:

And they wonder why thousands of current and former players are suing the hell out of them over the long term ramifications of this very injury?

How many of them have to drive off cliffs, beat their GF's or spouses, and shoot themselves before they understand the documented connection here?

Austin is going to be a babbling idiot with rage issues within the next 5-10 years now!  :mad: :mad: :mad:

The Troll


  With all of the strength, weight and speed of the players, I don't know how they can stop the concussions.  When a player is thrown into the air 6 to 8 feet and then land on his head, what would be the "G" load on his brain be? :o

  What would be the size of the helmet be?  The size of a large beach ball?   It will sure be interesting what the out come is.   :'(

Different team, same old result. The new Dolts cannot run any better than the old ones, nor can the defend the run any better.  :rolleyes:

I must have really been out of touch with football related news lately.  I had no idea that the NFL officials were negotiating a new contract and wouldn't be officiating until one is negotiated and signed.

I am there with ya, I have not heard anything regarding that until you just mentioned it.

NEW YORK -- The NFL will open the regular season next week with replacement officials and said it was prepared to use them "as much ... as necessary" afterward.

Replacements will be on the field beginning next Wednesday night when the Dallas Cowboys visit the New York Giants to open the season, league executive Ray Anderson told the 32 teams. Negotiations are at a standstill between the NFL and the officials' union.

The NFL Referees Association was locked out in early June and talks on a new collective bargaining agreement have gone nowhere. Replacements have been used throughout the preseason, with mixed results.
