What kind of league are you in where you actually picked that guy up? One that carries three TEs?

I had a TE on a bye, and had to fill in with something.

A LB'er on Julio Jones 40 yards downfield. Brilliant.

I really appreciate [MENTION=22]Texas Ace[/MENTION] leaving 3 players starting that are on byes.

Ware with another sack. Colts up on Denver 17-0 just before half is kind of surprising, tho.

Denver returns a punt 84 yards for a TD with no time left in the half to get back in it. Why kick it to him?

Wonder if this will get much media coverage?

Julius Peppers, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, B.J. Raji in sideline altercation

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- As if the Green Bay Packers' on-field defensive problems weren't enough, their troubles have now extended to infighting on their sideline.

During the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, Fox Sports cameras captured Packers veteran outside linebacker Julius Peppers and second-year safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix exchanging words on the bench. Veteran nose tackle B.J. Raji came over to separate the two, then forcefully pushed Clinton-Dix back after it appeared Clinton-Dix said something that angered him.

Fellow safety Morgan Burnett grabbed Clinton-Dix and led him to away from the scene, while Raji was shown still gesturing and yelling.

At that point, the Packers defense, which had given up a combined 1,048 yards in the team's previous two games, had surrendered 414 yards to the Panthers and trailed 37-14.

I've been watching football all day, and this is the first time I've even heard anything about that. No mention of it.

If Dez even looks crosseyed at anybody on the sideline, they break coverage of games to bring up to the minute news of the tragedy.

And this is the last time you will ever hear of it.

You won't get a Dungy comment. Nor a Costas lecture. You get nothing.

True that. Fuck those guys.

People talk about Dallas having bandwagon fans, the Packer fans that suddenly have erupted since the early 1990s is unfathomable.

Sorry, about 100,000 people live in that city. You can't effing tell me that the fans you see are just from the rest of the state.

Correct. I've always seen cowboys fans my whole life around here. Didn't matter if they were good or bad.

Packers? I don't think I saw or met a single packers fan growing up in the 80s.

Well, Denver is right back in it.

I lived in the Midwest in the 1980s.

It was most definitely not Packer territory.

I believe you are missing the point.

I live in Philly. Nowadays I'll see packers fans on occasion.

I never saw any when they sucked.

This isn't cowboys territory either, but good or bad I've always seen cowboys fans.

The Bucs WRs are killing Winston.

Too god damn many women covering football nowadays.

Then we have been in different parts of the midwest.

Not even close.

There are pretty strong followings for the Vikings, Chiefs, Broncos, Packers, Bears.

They certainly can't lay claim to owning the entire Midwest.

I was smack dab in the middle of Butt Fuck, Iowa. That was Vikings country.
