NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

The Steelers have also lost Juju Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson to concussions for a while as well as the inevitable suspensions post fight.

I read a couple of bits on tiwtter that Rudolph kicked or hit him in the crotch as they were getting up but i only saw one angle of the incident and couldnt see anything there

[El Scorchio]

"Genuinely don't think he should be able to play again- with head injures and concussion (and trying to eliminate them) being such a hot topic, especially with the players' union chasing the NFL so hard on it Weirdly they will probably be the ones who (try to) defend him... There's absolutely no excuse for his actions."

[Lee Trundle]

"Considering they're happy to give a woman beater a second chance and have him in the team, I doubt they're too concerned about what Garrett got up to."

[crystal falace]

"I Imagine it will be a 6 game suspension so essentially ruling him out for the rest of the season. but i cant remember anything like this ever happening before so not much precedent to go with. Garrett was probably in line for a monster contract in the offseason, maybe the Browns reconsider that now."

[Takashi Miike]

"....and what makes it worse is garrett smirking when talking in the locker room, cսnt clearly thinks it was funny, hopefully goodell will deal with it instead of laying on an open day/work out fiasco for that clown, kaepernick"

[Takashi Miike]

"he should get a life ban for that, lucky schuster smith wasn't nearby as he'd have battered garrett"

[southbankbornnbred]

Hahaha! He just went into random fight mode. I don't blame him - those guys are told to defend their QB whatever it takes. I guess he was doing that!

[crystal falace]

"I did always say what's the point in throwing punches when people are wearing helmets, at least he found a way around that"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Should get a long ban for smashing the helmet over the QBs head. Could have caused a major injury, that. Also, love the fact that one of the Steelers threw a kick at Garrett while he was on the floor - he just kicked Garrett's helmet, and probably did more damage to his foot!"

[crystal falace]

"Absolutely mental ending to the game last night. Think Garrett's season could be over after that as he genuinely could have killed Rudolph! Just as the Browns gave themselves a small hope of the playoffs they lose their best player for the season to suspension, how very Browns."

[Lee Trundle]

"According to the NFL's highlights on YouTube, this never happened in last nights game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PMHlURlxus"

[Grumpster]

"Ended up doing chubb, so overjoyed to see that bastard Mayfield sneak in when the ball was on the 1 yard line! Not the most exciting round of games this weekend."

[Grumpster]

See you can still get 13/2 on Baltimore winning the SB. Seems pretty good odds considering they look the best all round team. Have had some pennies on juju for 1st TD tonight. Would fancy the browns if they didnt have such an awful QB.

[ironsofcanada]

"It was lost on both sides of the line. The Saints let them run and drain the defence. And the O-line seem to believe their own hype though losing Peat was a factor and Armstead was sick, apparently."

[crystal falace]

"Atlanta has a good offence, losing Lattimore obviously was a big loss as he was shadowing Julio Jones. The real issue was Brees and the Oline, Atlanta had 7 sacks in their first 8 games COMBINED, and managed to sack old man Brees 6 times!"

[ironsofcanada]

"Bridgewater was steady, had a couple really good games. But the defence stepped up with him in, which they did not Sunday, at least at the same level."

[crystal falace]

"Bridgewater went 5-0 as the starter while Brees was injured with a sore thumb. heard reports of fans apparently chanting for Teddy to come in when they were getting smashed by the Falcons this weekend and Brees wasnt moving the ball, but that could have been falcons fans taking the piss"

[Far Cough]

"irons, how is Teddy doing, didn't know you had him, that's the Saints and Redskins taking our QB cast offs"

[ironsofcanada]

All the good teams have now had their game where they did not show up. Poor show from the Saints on Sunday made for a pretty miserable weekend. (I have started watching Oilers highlights again as they are strangely doing well and I can hope for more joy during the international break) Always important to get some humility and then back on the horse. Looks a decent year and some good games to come.

[Nutsin]

Poor old Burnsie. I think he has finally realized how shit Goff is. Would explain why he has been MIA for 8 weeks.

[crystal falace]

"Who's west ram United in the fantasy? want to make some trade negotiations, WHO mail me?"

[Joe C]

"Pipe down Burnsie, or there's a cunting in the bastard heading your way too"

[Mr. Burns]

49ers and Seahawks.......what a couple of absolute shithouse teams.

[crystal falace]

"Niners still have to play the Saints, packers, Seahawks and Rams Could end up anywhere between the #1 and #6 seed for the playoffs"
