Very interesting to see that NFL teams are starting to run these types of plays.

Mike Martin recorded his first of hopefully many sacks in his second NFL game.  For the season he has 7 Tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 Sack.

GO BLUE!

Apparently, at 2:38 in the 4th quarter the play clock started to run, but the game clock did not for a few seconds.  Those few seconds resulted in an extra stop of the clock for Detroit.  After rewatching the play, the official must have thought that Bradford had gone out of bounds.  It definitely looked like he did.  But the officials on the field said to run the clock.  

Interesting.  This will give the refs more ammo in negotiating, although I do not think the REAL refs are any better than the replacement refs...

For all who are not in Michigan and would like to watch the Lions play the Raiders here you go.

Gotta get the OT stuff in soon, right?  Less than 3 weeks out...

So, apparently, Ochocinco's wife found a receipt for a box of condoms and confronted him about it.  He allegedly headbutted her in response.  Too early for me to take sides, as anyone who's watched Hard Knocks this year knows she is kinda out there.  Either he did one of the dumbest things he could ever do, or she may have actually been the one to initiate the meeting of heads.  She seems like the type of girl that would do anything for payback.

I haven't seen one of these this year, and I thought it would be nice and tidy if we kept the NFL stuff in one thread...

Just to kick things off...10 man ppr, 10yds rushing or receiving =1pt...

I am in a league with a ridiculous amount of bench slots(8!)  which has me thinking about stealing handcuffs(guys that will be useful when/if the starter goes down).  In what order would you pick these guys?
