    lol I'm a Bengals fan, nothing can make me feel bad.

    Pacman is a fun character to have around as well as a decent nickel/dime back. Win-win!

    So, the new OT rules will be in play for the regular season as well as the playoffs now.

    The trade deadline may get pushed back to week 8 (pending more discussions in May).

    Goodell seeking more counsel with NFLPA for player sanctions relating to bountygate.

    Brandon Jacobs signs with 49ers.

    I love that. Covers up one of Kubiak's biggest weaknesses.

    this is smart, a turnover is just as big a play as a score.

    Still nothing to clarify the "completing the catch" nonsense that refs still have no idea how to properly call.

    You'd think after it happened to Megatron they'd have at least looked at that.

    Terrance Newman to the Bengals. They honestly are an AFC team I'm halfway worried about. BJGE in the backfield along with the Dalton-Green tandem is a nice nucleus to build around. Those two first rounders are going to really help them reload.

    Upside is, they have holes since both Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell left, as did two of their starting D-Linemen (Rucker, Fanene).

    Injuries.

    Had a wrist or arm injury last year that kept him out for awhile, if not the whole year.

    Sources: Leinart To Go To Raiders

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7...it-oakland-raiders-sources-say-signing-likely

    They're saying thanks big Al, RIP, we'll take it from here now?

    Trade deadline extension makes sense, after all the poo-pooing last year about Texans getting screwed after Leinart went down, not being able to pull off a deal to help them forward. Though really it should be week 9 or 10 instead of just an incremental move.

    Feeling bad for my Horns in the NFL without a job.

    Actually saw Cedric Benson out last week. He was drinking, didn't seem like the nicest guy.

    IMO, niners lost out big by dropping Costanzo and Snyder. Good pick ups by Chicago and AZ.
