The most leveraged contract in the NFL 2014-15 WEEK 2 thread. Uncuttable and untradeable.

not remotely shocking

but yeesh

The Vikings press conference today was beyond pathetic

I really don't have anything good to say about the NFL off the field. I would figure for the right comic using a line like Goodell would have only gave Rae Carruth 4 weeks suspension might have worked if people remembered who Carruth was. All this domestic violence is just covering over dudes like Aldon Smith who just seem to be kinda f-ing nuts.

On games...
I still can't believe the Bears came back and beat the Niners. I'm still not sure what happened to the championship juggernaut from Seattle who got beat in San Diego and can't blame that loss on playing out of their time zone.

Cowboys have one good game and now ESPN is already talking DeMarco Murray to potentially rush for 2000 yards which had me shaking my head while I lifted weights today.

I'll give the Chargers this much... if you're going to call out Richard Sherman, it doesn't hurt to do it after the game, three years before the next time you'll face him.

Apparently they are in deep deep shit with their sponsors after that fiasco and the new Peterson news

"I never intended to hurt him". Well don't fucking beat him in the balls with a fucking stick.

Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell
The Colts traded a first-round pick for Trent Richardson. The Eagles traded a fifth-round pick for Darren Sproles.

I didn't realize until Berman mentioned it at half time that Philip Rivers has SEVEN children. I knew he had a few, but is he trying to field his own team?

When you've lost the fans, you've lost. And by that standard, the Minnesota Vikings are in trouble.

VikingsMessageBoard.com, a longtime board devoted to discussion of the Minnesota Vikings, has shut down forever because of its owners' disgust with the burgeoning Adrian Peterson scandal. And oh, are there plenty of people to be disgusted at. Sure, there's Peterson himself, indicted on charges of child abuse. But the proprietors of the message board also offered the following note, via SB Nation:

Vikings Message Board has been shut down permanently. It will not return. There are two primary reasons.

1. The Vikings' cowardly decision to reinstate a child abuser and think that an apology will make this blow over. We will not stand for this arrogance and we will no longer be the home of any support of the Vikings. We stand for those who cannot defend themselves.

2. We will not give a voice to thugs who think child abuse is "cultural" or worse, openly advocate child abuse as a reasonable method of punishment. This ends here. Yes, a few board members have ruined it for everyone. Congratulations, [jerks].

ugh "thugs"

at least zygi's getting his stadium built

Anheuser-Busch has issued what's basically a threat to the NFL: get your house in order or we'll stop giving you money.

^ Just trying not to get dragged down in the general PR disaster.

time for a week 3 thread?

yes, this is how it's supposed to work. companies don't want to associate their products with abettors of abuse.

with his highschool sweetheart. Interesting fellow, Phil Rivers.

If you got an owner that got convicted of keeping a second set of books to screw a partner in a deal, you probably are a bit loser with the reigns than some. Really cutting bait while expensive I think will end up being the cheaper way out of the problem, but hey they got tons of money and I don't. Maybe looking the other way when a guy beats up a 4 year old is how you get to that level of success.

amazing collection of screencaps showing position of washington receivers on completions vs jax.

newsflash: the jags are really really bad!

xp JUNIOR high school sweetheart, apparently. and he converted to catholicism. he's so square i can almost respect it.

also he wore nick hardwick's number on the back of his helmet sunday which is cool.

lol that's exactly why I think the "Kirk Cousins > RG3" rhetoric is so overdone right now - hell he may indeed be a better QB going forward but tearing up Jacksonville is not exactly an accomplishment.
