IMO Kyle Cook was the greatest loss.

And what's messed up is that Britt has EIGHT offenses and gets ONE game. This is Haden's first and he'll get four.

Is Marvin Lewis an idiot? Who plays their starting QB in the FOURTH preseason game?

Any idea when the league is supposed to rule on Haden?

Well at least the Cowboys are trying to do something to fix that online... They traded with Miami for Ryan Cook . Don't really know much about this guy but he can't be any worse than what they already have.

To
NFL Fans:

The 2012 NFL regular season is about to begin, and it promises to be another
exciting, competitive, and unpredictable year of football which NFL fans have
come to expect every season.

Part of our responsibility in helping teams
and players prepare for each NFL season is to make sure they understand and
respect league policies and rules. As always, we hold everyone, including
ourselves, strictly accountable for protecting the integrity of the game,
starting with the health and safety of our players. This year is no exception -
bringing with it a clear, consistent, and renewed emphasis on enforcing our
longstanding “bounty” prohibition.

Let me be clear: there is no
place for bounties in football. No exceptions. No excuses. Bounties are an
affront to everything that competitive sports should represent. Everyone in the
NFL is responsible for adhering to these rules and we are all accountable for
protecting the safety of our players - present and future.

The bounty
prohibition forbids offering or accepting any reward - cash or otherwise - for
on-field misconduct, plays that incentivize or result in injury to opposing
players, or for performance against an opposing player, group of players, or
team. The bounty prohibition not only preserves the competitive integrity of our
game, but also protects player safety by removing incentives that could lead to
dangerous play or unnecessary and/or intentional injury. As a league, we will
ensure that the prohibition against bounties is clearly understood and
consistently enforced. Period.

We will aggressively protect the health,
safety and long-term livelihood of our players, both on the field and off. We
can preserve the fierce competition that makes football great, while
simultaneously committing to the relentless pursuit of safer play. Our players
do not make excuses on the field; we will not make them off the
field.

It is our job to protect, preserve, and promote the game of
football that we all love. We want an exciting game featuring the world’s most
talented football players enjoying long and successful careers. The bounty
prohibition plays an instrumental role in achieving that. And we are committed
to holding every team, player and owner accountable.

We appreciate your
interest and hope you enjoy the 2012 NFL season.

Roger Goodell

Kind of surprised to see the Pats cut QB Brian Hoyer. They also dumped Deion Branch while the Skins got rid of Tim Hightower.

Don't they have Ryan Mallett? If they feel like he could be a replacement for Brady, there's no reason to keep Hoyer around.

Wasn't surprised THAT they got rid of Hoyer as much as HOW they got rid of him. I figured they would've traded him before just outright releasing him.

MJD ends his holdout without a new contract. I'm sure he's gone first chance he gets.

Herm Edwards predicted the same Super Bowl matchup that I did. Same result too.
