God the Cardinals are awful

Whole division is very underwhelming at the minute.

The NFC Worst again.

Looking forward to tonight. Bizarrely, there's a bit of a family connection to Mitch Trubisky so hoping he can do well. Bears without Trevathan and Willie Young is disappointing as the defence is overall not bad and I'd have fancied them against Case Keenum but with a few guys gone already and those two out it could be difficult.

Bradford is expected to play for the vikings tonight at QB

Nasty looking injury for OBJ

Both him and Jj Watt could be done for season.  Broken ankle and leg respectively.

I listened to it again. I'm sure he was just comparing it to his day to day QB and WRs room where they talk about Routes all day, with other players and coaches, and it sounded odd coming from a woman. But man, even in that sense giving him the benefit of the doubt it sounds stupid. She's a professional reporter, in the NFL. Why wouldn't she talk about routes and route running?

Exactly. It's not like there are very few female sports reporters.

I wonder what would happen if male sports reporters were allowed to enter female changing rooms when the athletes were changing/showering etc?
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Seanie, Mitch is the pride of Mentor, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb.  His sister doesn't still live there, does she?

She's in college. Think his family are still there. They were afraid he was going to get drafted by the Browns!!!!

Love that fake punt call last night. What an execution as well.

Broke my 6 game losing streak at Leafs games last night

That kid from your parish is pretty good AZ  ;)

Matthews? Yeah, sure he'd be a natural skating on all the frozen ponds in Scottsdale :)

AP to the Cards

QuoteTrade! The New Orleans Saints have traded Adrian Peterson to the Arizona Cardinals for a conditional pick per sources

magpie seanie

Think that trade will benefit all concerned.

USA out of World Cup.  Lost 2-1 to Trinidad & Tobago, while Honduras beat Mexico 3-2 and Panama beat Costa Rica 2-1.  Honduras now play Australia in a play-off, while Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama go to Russia.

Dunno Seanie don't think he has anything left, and Cards have terrible O line.

AZOffaly

Exactly. I'd have been happier if they traded for a proven O Lineman that might stop Carson Palmer's life insurance paying out.

I'm pretty sure he has more juice left than Chris Johnson. And that's not even close.

I may have more juice left than Chris Johnson. I'm not sure he's that much of an upgrade though. If they get a couple of OLine guys back he might be useful.

Ellington is the most dangerous of the backs at the moment. Mind you that's like saying the tallest pygmy.

magpie seanie

Yeah, we'll see. The o-line is very bad which limits the upside of AP alright. I think he'll do fine, he was a bad fit in New Orleans.
