The Plax sentence is a bit harsh. This is America don't forget where you are allowed carry concealed weapons with you if you have a permit.

You have to be intelligent enough however to actually go get a feckin permit, he didnt and is doing a stretch because of it. What an idiot.

Going for a snooze now, will get up at 12 and make the dinner and sit down and watch TItans @ Steelers. Hard to tell who'll win this one. Anyway great that the NFL is back on the box. C'mon Falcons!!
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

I hate the layout of the new nfl.com match tracker. It won't update at all on IE6.0 for me but will on firefox. Why did they change it from last year's one, it was perfect!

Highlights of Titans/Steelers should be good to watch. Big Ben 2 interceptions and they still win!!

Good game. Polumalu was having a great game *appart from the flags* before he got injured *!!Madden Curse!!* . His one-handed interception, or tackling Johnson in the backfield was brilliant.

Steelers really need to do something about their running game, if they could find another Bettis, or someone like Jacobs or Michael Turner to run between the tackles and have Parker to run outside. If they dont, Parker wont be able walk by December. Or just stop running the ball.

Hines Ward though, surprised to see him lose the ball the way he did. A bit reckless. But he wont make tat mistake again.

I haven't used it yet but I worried about the change as I found it good beforehand. If it aint broke.....

Is the Bears/Packers game on Five or will Sky have it? Made it my business to tune Five into my "Other Channels" last night just in case.

I wonder is it their run game or their offensive line? Big Ben gets battered around the place every game and only he is such a good scramler, he would be in A&E every weekend. I really thought Mendenhall would be good this year, so much so that I picked him up in one of my fantasy leagues. I still think he could be good with a O line ahead of him. At the moment though, it seems Tomlin doesn't have much time for him.
Bold prediction - the Steelers don't make the play-offs this year.

Read a book by a basketball journalist "When nothing else matters" that followed him for a year or two when he was with the Wizards, if you are a big fan dont read it ! Comes across as a total c**k

You have a ticket to the Bears at the packers and you aren't going to use it. Are you a fan of either team?

Tell me about it, it was  a great system last year, now it doesn't make anys sense. All the game stats are on another page that you have to click on. WHY?

Giants are looking like contenders. Falcons chances have greatly improved as the Panthers are looking abysmal. Good win against the Dolphins today though Turner didn't get going at all though. Gonzales making an impact already.

In case anyone was wondering about getting it, I got NFL Gamepass,for one week to try it out, and its really good. You can choose any game and flick back between them at will.

All the games are available to watch at any time once they are over too.
