eff Scandrick, he sucks Romo's balls

Orlando was already planning his celebration for picking off Matt- freaking- Flynn when a funny thing happened...

Jordy Nelson reached over the top and caught a TD instead, capping off the 1st drive of the second half...You remember, the one where Lacy ripped off a 60 yarder to jump start the comeback in 2013 ?

Jordy's awesome play over scamdick helped the Mighty Green Bay Packers pull out an epic win @ Dallas. Cowboys suck

It actually sucks that Scandrick is out for the year. He's terrible. Dallas might stumble into a few UDFA's that are immediate upgrades. 

Is Jerruh no longer the GM there?

"Jason Cole of B/R reports that the Cowboys are shopping around in the trade market for cornerback help following the season-ending injured sustained by Orlando Scandrick."

See, this is how NOT to do it. Smart teams plan ahead.

Dumb-asses like the Cowboys don't have a platoon of young hungry lions fighting for reps. The first injury hits and they need to scour the trade options. It also speaks to the whiff on Morris Claiborne. The cowboys did what many wanna-be GMs advocate- they traded up for a player in the 1st

They spent a 1st and a 2nd to grab Claiborne, only to have him suck.

Now, they've got no depth, no CBs and will spend yet another pick to fix the **** up from earlier

That's exactly how you don't build a sustained winner.

Maybe they'll trade us a LT for a DB

Karma's a bitch.

There's such a dearth of good quarterbacks around the league, let alone backup quarterbacks, that the Jets are excited about signing Matt Flynn.  Even Jason Campbell is being sought after.

I really like the QB depth on the Packers now.  Tolzien seems comfortable as the No. 2 and Hundley is the development guys a la Hasselbeck, Brooks and Brunell from the Wolf era.  Pack QB position has got to be the envy of the league.

Don Barclay has a bottle of Windex.

Steelers WR Martavis Bryant is facing 4-game suspension for violating Substance Abuse Policy, per league sources. Suspension under appeal.

Jeebus, et tu Bryant?

It would be quite different if the league had some sort of super secret testing program.

Seems like the right time and place for this. 

20% of New Orleans 2015 cap is tied to dead money. If 1/5 of your cap is going to guys no longer playing for you, you have really screwed things up in stunning fashion. Detroit not handling things much better. 12.1%

Green Bay? 2.1% Thanks Ted. 

Especially the starter.

That's amazing.  If you look back every year to 2011, the dead money on the Packers cap has not been more than 5 million dollars, and ranged from 3 million to 5 million over that period.  Compare with Ozzie Newsome, who is widely praised as a great GM (and I don't necessarily disagree), the Ravens dead money has ranged from 10 to 17 million since 2012.  In 2011, they had 3 million in dead money.  Ted has been masterful at managing the cap.

They've had some misses. But Russ Ball and Ted have done an awful lot of things right over the last 8 years. 

Hawk and Jones accounted for about $11mm in dead money last year.  

Dr. Gruden at work.

@JasonLaCanfora: Skins saga w/RG3 takes another turn. Neurological expert decides he isn't ready to play Sat after all. Must be assessed another 1-2 weeks.

 

@AlbertBreer: Redskins release a statement from an independent neurologist explaining that Robert Griffin III won't play tomorrow.

Somehow, RG3 took all that love everyone had for him after Shanahan ruined his knee and still managed to get everyone to despise him. And yes, Russell Wilson facilitated the process.... sorry. I meant RG3. 

I know, preseason. But Blake Bortles just gashed the Lions' D on JAX's opening drive, just completed. DET looking sieve-like but Bortles made some excellent throws.  Great touch. Kid has some skillz.

Your first 3 words said it all.

and Golden Tate III, just took over Jordy's 20+ yards leader.        JMHO.

The front of the Jag's helmets look like they're finished in primer...

Don't harsh my buzz...kid looks good.

Avant garde.

Jerry is in full delusional mode thinking if he goes on a spending spree, picks up the scumbags of the league and tells himself he's a good GM it will produce a title.  

I wouldn't be surprised if the freaking Giants win the NFC East.

and I can say here....I hate the white uniform pants a lot of NFL teams wear....they ALL look like they're wearing depends.  JMHO.  So glad the Packers don't EVER  wear white pants.    

Just like my '50 Olds was!

No....that's why YOU like them, fedya.

I'd have thought you'd like them for being more revealing. 

 FTFY

#Redskins made LT Trent Williams the highest paid T in history. $13.2M avg. $43.25M in guarantees. $32M at signing, per agent Vincent Taylor

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 29, 2015

Something for Bak to consider.

Bak will have to improve quite a bit just to be half as good as Williams.

Some details.

@mortreport: Julio Jones and Falcons have agreed to a new 5-year contract worth $71.250 million and $47 million guaranteed. Team about to announce.

LT is the top of my wish list for next years draft.

ILB #2.

And WR...never can have too many of those.

Outside LB. We need more pass rushers.

Jags cut  punter Kasey Redfern today.  I hiope the packers bring him in for a tryout. here are his stats for preseason games:

Punts	Yds	Net Yds	Lng	Avg	Net Avg	Blk	OOB	Dn	IN 20	TB	FC	Ret	RetY	TD
1	PIT	W  23-21		4	187	155	54	46.8	38.8	0	0	0	1	1	0	3	12	0
2	@NYG	L  12-22		3	142	139	53	47.3	46.3	0	0	0	1	0	1	2	3	0
3	DET	L  17-22		1	42	42	42	42.0	42.0	0	1	0	1	0	0	0	0	0

Amari Cooper is the real deal. Wherever he is, Al is smiling.

I'm fairly confident that Amari Cooper is going to quite a good pro. That's Patrick Peterson he does this to. https://t.co/XsRu4nppSE
