I don't know why he feels the need to do shit like that when offensive lines are frightened of what he can do legally anyway. Dude is a head collector, but this season he has almost four times as many personal fouls as sacks.
 
Staying in California, Matt Barkley is making it rain for SC and making a mockery of the PAC-12 title game. SC are banned from playing in it (they have won the PAC-12 South at a canter), so UCLA will take their place. The two teams played in a conference match on Saturday, SC winning 50-0. Barkley was 35/42 for over four bills and 6 TDs. Averaged over ten yards a toss. With Stanford stuttering, Barkley is making a late run at the Heisman.

UCLA should just forfeit their place in the title game. It's a joke. Oregon are going rape them. Vegas has them 35 point favourites. If UCLA lose they'd have to request a waiver to be bowl eligible. The whole situation is a mess.
 
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- Ndamukong Suh's stomp will cost him two games.

The NFL suspended Detroit's All-Pro defensive tackle on Tuesday for roughing up a Green Bay Packers player in front of a national television audience during a loss on Thanksgiving Day. Suh will miss Sunday night's game at New Orleans and a Dec. 11 home game against Minnesota and he won't be paid until he is reinstated Dec. 12.

Suh called NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday to apologize, but it didn't seem to help. He has three days to appeal the suspension and if he does, the league plans to expedite the hearing to make a decision before the Lions play the Saints.

"We respect the process the league undertook in order to arrive at this decision," the Lions said in a statement before Tuesday afternoon's practice. The team will have a roster exception during Suh's suspension.

Message seeking comment were left by The Associated Press with Suh's agent and sister. Suh can't practice or be at the Lions' practice facility during the suspension.

Earlier this season, the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year requested a meeting with Goodell to discuss his play after he drew several penalties. Suh said he had a better understanding of the rules after that meeting.

Instead, he will be watching his teammates scramble to keep up in the NFC wild-card race after what the league was his fifth violation of on-field rules in his first two years in the NFL.

And everyone saw this one.

Suh lifted up his right knee and forcibly stepped on the right arm of Green Bay guard Evan Dietrich-Smith during the third quarter of the Lions' 27-15 loss last Thursday. On the same play, Suh shoved Dietrich-Smith's helmet toward the turf while separating himself from the Packers player on the ground.

He was ejected for kicking and insisted during his postgame news conference that he didn't intentionally step on Dietrich-Smith. After the Lions criticized his conduct the next day, Suh issued an apology and the talk of the league was whether he was the NFL's dirtiest player.

NFL vice president of football operations Merton Hanks notified Suh of the penalty for "unsportsmanlike conduct" on Tuesday. The suspension was first reported by Fox Sports.

Suh has already been fined three times for roughing up quarterbacks and another time for unsportsmanlike conduct.

He grabbed Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton and threw him to the turf after he had gotten rid of the ball in a preseason game this year. He was docked twice last year for shoving Chicago's Jay Cutler high in the back and for twisting Cleveland's Jake Delhomme's face mask and slamming him to the ground. He also was fined $5,000 during Week 9 in the 2010 season for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Suh has been able to absorb the fines, making $40 million guaranteed with a chance to get paid as much as $68 million in his five-year contract he signed after Detroit drafted the former Nebraska star No. 2 overall in 2010.

His reputation, though, has just taken a big hit and it will cost his team that is clinging to hopes of earning a spot in the playoffs for the first time since the 1999 season.

Meanwhile, in Oakland, Caleb Hanie can't even hit the floor with the ball properly.
[/quote]That was funny as fuck.
 
Turned out the MAC game was quite good fun.

Houston have fucked their own BCS hopes into a bucket in the C-USA game right here. Southern Miss have taken them to the shed.
 
The Messiah has done it again ... Denver is now in a first place tie with Oakland @ 7-5.

Tebow is 6-1 as a starter, and the last time Denver won 5 straight road games? Yup, Elway was leading 'em ...

How the fuck did Jennings just have "some control" yet Calvin didn't?

Ha ha ha. Let it go, dude...
 
How casual a kick was that from Bailey to try and win it? Bizarre.

Headed for overtime.

By the way, as a casual NFL observer, this thread has been really enlightening. I've enjoyed going through it quote a lot. MC - would you do me a favor and rate the QB's from hero to zero? I'm interested to see how you'd rank em. Cheers.
 
BCS just took Oklahoma State and Boise to the fucking shed. VA Tech get a BCS Bowl? What. The. Fuck. I could organise a SCM Casuals who would give them a game. Ridiculous. Clemson battered them. Twice. And last season, Boise beat them.
 
Any Packers fans?

MILWAUKEE -- Want to own a piece of the Green Bay Packers? The Super Bowl champions are about to give you a chance.

The Packers, the NFL's only publicly owned team, announced details Thursday about their first stock sale in 14 years and fifth in team history. The money will help pay for $130 million in renovations at historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

Own just one share and technically you're a team owner.

However, be aware that Packers stock isn't like regular stock. The value doesn't go up, there are no dividends and it has virtually no resale value. Stockholders do get voting rights, along with invitations to attend annual meetings where they can meet Packers executives, tour the Packers Hall of Fame and stick around for the kickoff of training camp.

There are currently 112,205 shareholders who own a total of 4.75 million shares. Another 250,000 shares will go on sale Tuesday, available by mail or at packers.com. In either case, the shares cost $250 plus a handling charge.

The sale runs through Feb. 29, subject to extension. Stock can only be purchased by individuals, not businesses, and there's a 200-share cap, a figure that includes any stock purchased during the last sale in 1997.

Newly purchased shares can be given as gifts. However, once ownership is established, a share can only be transferred within the immediate family.

Staughton Wade, 29, of Fort Wayne, Ind., said $250 was a reasonable price to pay for a Packers share. His favorite team is the winless Indianapolis Colts (0-11), and he said he welcomed a chance to buy into the league's only undefeated team, the Packers (11-0).

"It's a completely unique item," Wade said of the stock. "You can't get this anywhere else, and who knows when the next opportunity will be?"

While being a shareholder might come with some perks, it won't help you move up on the season-ticket waiting list, which has more than 81,000 names. Also, cheeseheads who live overseas are out of luck. The offering is limited to people with addresses in the U.S., Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Soldiers and U.S. residents who are currently overseas will have to use their U.S. addresses.

All the money raised in the stock sale will go toward stadium renovations. The Packers plan to add thousands of seats and other amenities in time for the 2013 season. While other teams often ask taxpayers to help pay for building upgrades, the Packers will foot the entire bill themselves through the stock sale and private financing.

That's part of the reason that Joel Tchao, 38 a San Francisco 49ers fan from Fremont, Calif., said he would "definitely" buy a share next week.

"It's showing my appreciation for how they're run as a team," he said.

The Packers have been a publicly owned nonprofit corporation since 1923. The team held its first stock sale that year, followed by sales in 1935 and 1950 that helped keep the franchise afloat even as other small-markets teams were sinking.

At the time of the last sale, in 1997, then-team president Bob Harlan was looking for ways to cover stadium renovation costs. He recalled that other owners balked, worried that the Packers would use the money to compensate their coaches or improve their roster in a way other teams couldn't.

It was only after Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney argued in favor of the idea that the proposal passed. Rooney said the Packers deserved unanimous support because they were a vital part of NFL history. The subsequent vote was indeed unanimous.

Some 400,000 shares went on sale that year for $200 apiece. About 120,000 were sold, raising $24 million.

"We tried to come up with a figure that would be affordable to everyone," Harlan said. "We never got one complaint about them being too expensive."

There's been at least one complaint about the price this year. Michael Constantine, a Wisconsin native who now lives in Washington, had planned to buy a share this year when the rumored price was $200. When he found out the actual price Thursday, he said $250 was just over the edge of affordability.

"For me living in Seattle, I could spend $250 on tickets to go back to Wisconsin and go to a Packers game," said Constantine, 26. "For that price I'd be looking at other Packers-related activity I could use that money for."

Just as businesses have to enter a quiet period before going public, the Packers say they've been limited on how much they can say for now.

"We appreciate the interest that fans have expressed in our fifth stock offering," Mark Murphy, the team's president and CEO, said in a statement. "We are not yet in a position to fully discuss the offering. However, this information will answer some of the initial questions that we've received. We look forward to formally launching the offering next week."
