League suspends Saunders eight games for PED policy violation | ProFootballTalk

Dumbass -> Carolina football program is on probation because of his bad judgement, and he's taken it with him to the league. Steelers dumped him last year for the same reason.

I thought we already had one of these started? Anyway, if you have something to post and it's not necessarily worthy of a new thread, post it here!

I've been reading a lot of hype about the young kid Thompkins. Sounds like a younger Randy Moss! Hopefully he pans out for them!

 

[JDM]

He's not all that big (6' 1") or fast (4.54). He definitely looks like he will be involved significantly whether he or Dobson win the first spot (I like Dobson). I think them two are the one and two guys. Not bad for rookies, even if there's not a lot of competition.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I don't think I've heard much about Dobson? But that's cool! I love seeing younger guys come out and hold their own. How's Amendola looking?

Did you guys hear that Tom Brady was injured?

Bring it.

^^^ Speaking of which:

EJ Manuel out for Bills' preseason with knee injury - NFL.com

The Bills announced Saturday that rookie passer EJ Manuel will miss the remainder of the preseason with a knee injury.


Bills coach Doug Marrone told the team's official website that Manuel experienced swelling in his left knee Saturday morning and was examined by the Bills' medical staff.

"An MRI revealed that he will need to have a minor knee procedure and that has been scheduled," the team said in a statement. "He will miss the remainder of the preseason and then be re-evaluated at that time. Kevin Kolb will be our starting quarterback for this weekend's game at (the Washington Redskins)."

Vick takes bulk of first-team reps at Eagles practice - NFL.com

The Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback job is Michael Vick's to lose.

Philly.com's Jimmy Kempski tweeted Saturday that the veteran passer took the lion's share of first-team reps in Saturday's practice, with Nick Foles settling in with the second unit.

As SiriusXM NFL Radio's Adam Caplan notes, it's the first time we've seen such a clear distinction in workload. Both quarterbacks regularly have split first-team reps throughout camp, but Vick was outstanding in Thursday's preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. He's clearly on track to start the team's critical Week 3 preseason matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 24.

^^^ Now that's interesting. If they could unbundle the games from cable, and sell them streaming, especially (on a subscription basis, for example).
