Heads Up

Carolina Panthers star defensive end Greg Hardy has agreed to be placed on the NFL's exempt list. Hardy, who has been convicted on two domestic violence charges, will not play or participate in team activities but will receive his full $13.1 million salary.

[lwd]

Hardy was out last week vs DET too. They rotated a few different backups in and were more than fine. They should be alright without him against PIT who has only managed to play one decent half of football this season imo. CAR by 8 is my prediction. 17-9 or 24-16

[al_c]

Eh ... gotta expect stuff like that from Microsoft.

[GOPsterinMA]

SD will win the SB! I predicted it. :)

[SevenofNine]

I think dreaded Seabirds most likely to win the Super bowl but San Diego kinfolks probably agree with you on the Bolts

[GOPsterinMA]

I would agree with you about SEA, but no one’s repeated as champs since the Patriots...and their cameras.

I still think the SB will be ARZ vs, SD.

[eldoradude]

All right then.

6-10 last week, 16-16 for the year.

Cowgirls bbq the Rams...slowly.

Falcons sink the Bucs

Chargers turn out the lights on Buffalo

Uglies scalp the Dreadskins

Texicans rob NY blind

Saints send the Biqueens to purgatory

Bengals eat the T*&ans

Baltimore wipes the Browns

Packers slay the Lions

Colts finally win one over the poundcats

Occupied Boston over Oaktown

Cards spank the queers

Squawks turn the Broncs into glue, again.

Miami hits KC

Carolina lays off the Stealers

and the Bears shoot down the Jests.

Week One, 10-6
Week Two, 10-6

Looks like the Panthers may have bigger issues vs PIT than just Hardy:

http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/8799/eleven-panthers-did-not-practice-wednesday?ex_cid=espnapi_public

The WR and OL are a problem. They may play 100% though...who knows?

[mware]

Enough to tilt my prediction for PIT.

[lwd]

You may be right. PIT has some kung-fu play makers...bell, the browns. We’ll see on Sunday. The problem for PIT is the CAR defense. They will be lucky to score if they play like they did against BAL or 2nd half of CLE game (their last 6 quarters of football). I’m going keep an eye on the CAR practice reports before doing anything. I think most of these guys will be fine.

[Impy]

Congrats to Devin ****ing Hester!!!! We miss you in Chicago buddy. Finally breaks the return TD record AND gets his first rushing TD too!! Lovie kicked to him, and gets his first 0-3 start as a Head Coach. Josh McClown, either last year was just an anomaly for him or else Lovie’s offense is just that bad (or both). The pirate ship is covered in falcon droppings.

In other news, Gloria Allred should STFU!

Week 3

Thursday, Sept. 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons, 8:25 p.m. Well, missed this one but I would have picked Atlanta. Not to win by 42 though!

Sunday, Sept. 21

San Diego Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m. I've given the Chargers more second chances than my first wife. But... they showed something last week in beating the Seahawks. Tough to travel cross-country and play Sunday morning their time and the Bills are not a pushover this season. But, Bolts defy odds and win. San Diego!

Dallas Cowboys vs. St. Louis Rams, 1 p.m. Bendy's 'Boys beat up on the Lambs. Dallas.

Washington Redskins vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 1 p.m. Foles and Company run wild over the Deadskins. Philly.

Houston Texans vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m. Giants woes continue. Titans.

Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints, 1 p.m. Saints get in the W column. New Orleans.

Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals, 1 p.m. Bengals continue winning. Cincinnati.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m. Ravens squeak this one out. Baltimore.

Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions, 1 p.m. Two Jekyll-and-Hyde teams meet. Who's Jekyll and who's Hyde in this match? I dunno. Detroit.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m. Colts get in the W column too (otherwise their season is over.). Indy.

Oakland Raiders vs. New England Patriots, 1 p.m. Woeful Raiders travel cross-country to meet the Pats. C'mon! Pee-Ay-Tee-Ess! New England.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals, 4:05 p.m. Are the Cards for real? This game should provide a good indicator. Cardinals.

Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m. Peyton and Broncos still can't solve Seattle D. Seahawks.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Miami Dolphins, 4:25 p.m. KC gets in the W column. Barely... Chiefs.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Carolina Panthers, 8:30 p.m. Cam and Company - especially the D - chew up the Men of Steel. Carolina.

Monday, Sept. 22

Chicago Bears vs. New York Jets, 8:30 p.m. Cutler and the Bears enjoy their trip to the Big Apple and the Jets join the G-Men in making NY football fans miserable. Bears.

[big'ol_freeper]

Lovie has never been a brilliant strategist. Packer fans miss him.

[Impy]

I’ll bet. Named after his auntie, what else can you say.

8-10 against Green Bay, not counting the all important playoff loss.

And he started 6-2 in his first 4 years. Maybe it’s just Jay that sucks against the Packers.

[GOPsterinMA]

Yes, congrats to Hester.

Maybe last year was the mirage for McClown? OTOH, he did have an actual NFL-caliber HC to work with.

Break out the power washer, ye ole pirate ship be covered in poo.

Gloria Allred: Should be appearing in GILF flicks.

[lwd]

ATL looked nasty last night. TB also helped a lot. D Hester is first class HOF all-the-way and broke Sanders’ record with authority & style. I hope the MSM talks about it all week instead of this wife beating crap. Now we have this knucklehead Dwyer to hear about...yawn.

I know this is an NFL thread, but I find stories like this to be pretty cool:
