Steelers run the wildcat with Bell and D'Angelo Williams.
 
Gruden: "You'll see these kind of plays with Vick."
 
 
Vick, of course, had nothing to do with it.
Maybe he means you'll see that a lot with Vick because they don't want Vick touching the ball much.

I realize nobody gives a shit about this, but my fantasy team entered MNF needing 8 points from Antonio Gates for the win. Now I guess I can go watch baseball.

Per MNF, DeAngelo Williams asked NFL if there was a way for him to honor his mom all season by wearing pink somewhere. They said no. Wow.

Yeah..Tirico said..he asked the NFL if he could wear some pink...they said that couldn't happen (no explanation of why) so he decided to dye parts of his hair.  The NFL..where caring about breast cancer matters as long as it's the month of october.

I never get these false start rules. A little hand twitch is a false start. LG standing up and turning around isn't. I mean what if the DT jumps when the LG stands up next time?

Ben and Stafford are both fat. It's no secret why Brady is so durable and playing so well at 38. Man takes care of himself

Brady also doesn't seem to get hit hard terribly often, and he's actually pretty good at taking sacks in ways that don't end with him getting hurt.  This is in stark contrast to someone like Tony Romo who often tries keep plays going as long as possible and then gets hammered by some guy he never saw coming.

Cut him a break. It's not like he's lazy. His effort during his early career was just spent on running that dog-murdering syndicate.
 
To be fair, only about half were murdered.
 
Edit to add that I also think Vick is a piece of shit.

Flutie played a hell of a game. Pats featured a CB named Steve Israel. Bledsoe gets a PI on a hail mary to Glenn Clos... I mean Terry Glenn. Pete was roaming the sidelines. Wade Philips was coaching Buffalo, and Vinatiery walked in for a 2-pt conversion as Bills couldn't care to defend the last play/PAT. 
 
Good times!

Jacoby Jones is the absolute worst.  The only reason anyone thinks he's good is because he occasionally gets lucky when he takes the kick return from 9 1/2 yards deep in the end zone.
