Is Romo back? No? PHI wins, :/.

Um.....hmm DEAD BATTERIES need a win, they beat my Bears in a shootout.

[lepton]

Doesn’t that fall under “Over Gronking”?

There appears to actually be a book out about that.

[Impy]

A couple or 3 years ago we played them in a snowstorm and it was clear that Brady is a White Walker (ice dudes from Game of Thrones), it was totally no fair!

Peanut Tillman did well last night. Glad he’s back in the playoff mix.

Woman who accused Patrick Kane of rape no longer cooperating with investigation

http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/140450...estigation
Quote:
The woman who accused Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane of raping her in August has notified authorities that she no longer wishes to cooperate with the investigation, several sources told The Buffalo News.

The woman reportedly told authorities that the investigation has caused her and her family a great deal of stress.

“She was no longer interested in going forward,” a source told the newspaper.

The woman inquired with the Erie County, New York, district attorney’s office about the status of the investigation and spoke to investigators at length last week. Ultimately, she signed an “affidavit declining prosecution,” which is currently under consideration by District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III, The Buffalo News reported.

It is Sedita’s decision whether or not to proceed with the case. Last weekend, The Buffalo News reported that criminal charges against Kane were unlikely to be filed due to there being too many questions about the allegations.

The woman first contacted police with her allegations last August. She was examined by doctors and police investigated Kane’s home in Hamburg, New York. The case took a strange turn in September when the accuser’s lawyer quit the case after the woman’s mother was allegedly involved in a hoax designed to cast doubts on police’s handling of the DNA evidence in the case.

Nice to see, I was afraid he might not play again. Glad he’s not languishing on this Bears team.

The lying whore is packing it in eh!! Thanks for wasting the time and money of Buffalo authorities, skank.

[GOPsterinMA]

Yes & yes.

I hope Kane sues her.

Week 9?! Here we go!

WEEK 9

Nov. 5

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals 8:25 Andy Dalton and the Bengals looking to get to 8 - 0, best start in franchise history. While I'm not sold on the Bengals as world-beaters, the Brownies are in disarray (what else is new for the Browns in November?). Bengals.

Nov. 8

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills 1 Dolphins staged a mini-rally with a new coach and two wins. Then they had to play the Patriots. Oops! The Bills meanwhile are doing a Jekyll-and-Hyde impression. Bills.

Green Bay Packers at Carolina Panthers 1 Packers sure looked helpless against the Broncos last week. Now they get another unbeaten team on the road. Panthers keep winning, winning ugly yes but winning. I think they'll win (ugly!) again this week. Panthers.

St. Louis Rams at Minnesota Vikings 1 Two up-and-coming teams. Not quite ready to jump on the Rams bandwagon, but they should roll over the Vi-queens, as they're not as up-and-coming-est as the Lambs. Rams.

Washington Redskins at New England Patriots 1 Ah, the Deadskins... traveling to Foxboro to play Brady (who's having a record season) and the Pats. Look out Deadskins! Patriots.

Tennessee Titans at New Orleans Saints 1 Saints seem to be a different team from the one of the first four weeks of the season. Titans won't really give them a test, what with a new coach, and no Mariota. Saints!

Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Jets 1 Jets blew one last week (or maybe the Raiders are actually decent?). But there's nothing to pick you up like having the Jags come visit. JAY - EEE - TEE - ESS! JETS!

Oakland Raiders at Pittsburgh Steelers 1 Speaking of the Raiders..... Men-of-Steel almost pulled off the upset against the Bengals. Almost. With another week of healing, Big Ben will play better. Steelers.

Atlanta Falcons at San Francisco 49ers 4:05The Niners are falling apart - how bad do things have to be that you announce Blaine Gabbert as your starter???? Falcons may have stumbled a bit after a very hot start, but they have what it takes to beat San Fran. Falcons.

New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4:05 And the Jints... It's not often that your QB throws for six TDs with no picks... and you lose! Regardless of the Buckos winning last week, they have no 'mo'. Eli and Company rebound. Giants.

Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts 4:25 The Broncos beat the previously unbeaten Packers last week. Handily. I don't think they'll have much trouble against a disintegrating Colts team, which has yet to win a game against a non-AFC South team. Broncos.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys* 8:30 No Tony Romo, no Win for the 'Boys. Sorry Bend. Eagles fly!

Nov. 9

Chicago Bears at San Diego Chargers 8:30 What a great Monday night game! Gag! I like Philip Rivers regardless of the Chargers record. How can you not love a guy with eight kids?! Chargers.

Lions fire their GM and Team President. But the zombie coach remains.

[dfwgator]

Lions need to fire their owner.

[GOPsterinMA]

Doesn’t make sense.

[RckyRaCoCo]

People always ask..."what does being "Lion-ized" mean?"

Nothing changes until ownership changes...actually a franchise change.

...this one is stigmatized because of it's failures(deliberate or not)over the decades just to simply be competitive, and as such, DOA no matter what it does, or who it brings in.

...changes always prop up ticket sales(prop being the keyword)...

...for the NFL & the Ford family, I suppose butts=bucks is what really matters, success is irrelevant, particularly as long as the fan-base $upports futility.

...still, it's fun to listen to all the cornbread being dished out on Detroit sports radio right now(where were these people when I tried to sell my "pet dog poop" for $50?...note to self...hire Detroit Lions marketing firm via flagship media slappies to do product promotion).

BREAKING: 90 year old owner, Martha Ford, to speak in 15 minutes about the changes being made...

(bless her heart).
