NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[Takashi Miike]

"I wouldn't get too excited about today's win, a team of retarded baboons could beat us at the moment"

[Nutsin]

"Niners win yet again. More sacks and turn overs to add to the tally. Next up Panthers, should be a good game in the first half, you know the D line will start to dominate in the second half as usual, the D line is so deep. Julian Taylor played well today, made some big plays. Ninnnnerrrrs!"

Dolphins royally stuff up an onside kick - FFS!

[Takashi Miike]

"the way they use fournette is ridiculous, no wonder these modern RBs burn out"

[Grumpster]

Cant knock being 6-0 with 4 of the games played away.

[Joe C]

Fucking 49ers

[Grumpster]

"His yards after catching are excellent. Not today though, pitch is going to be fucked!!!"

[Takashi Miike]

"love kittle, he's such a big powerful cսnt :.)"

[Grumpster]

Weather has ruined the game. Defence doing the job again.

Dolphins first round pick ejected for throwing a punch after the very first play!

[ironsofcanada]

Rams need wake up and bring a performance against the Dirty Birds. Saints have a tough match up today with massive injures and need to keep all those NFC South teams down.

[Takashi Miike]

"filthy weather in washington, AP loving it"

"Will Keep saying it but the patriots aren't unbeatable, their defence has been playing at a historic rate but against some very poor opposition, their schedule gets much harder in the coming weeks when they play the Browns, Ravens, Eagles, Cowboys, Texans and Chiefs all in a row so will have to see how they do against actual capable quarterbacks. I imagine they'll still more than hold their own but good offences will still be able to put up some points. The Offence is what really concerns me, they are missing key pieces on the Oline the backup left tackle is playing really poorly (Wynn should be back off IR in a couple of weeks to help that out) they have no tight ends of any use whatsoever (still hoping Gronk will make a return) the running game has been well below par, and the pass catching options are falling apart currently, it was Edelman and 2 undrafted rookies for most of the 2nd half against the Giants with Gordon and Dorsett both hurt. 1st round pick Harry is due back off IR in 2 weeks so hopefully he can start to contribute but will take some time to get going. Would not surprise me if the Pats go hard after a couple of offensive weapons before the trade deadline, heard plenty of rumours linking OJ Howard and AJ green with trades but the bengals seem to have said he's not for sale which seems odd considering how terrible they are"

The Texans are the ones who could pull a surprise in the AFC. But nobody getting past the Pats. So it's all irrelevant.

"Madden's been done with TV for probably 10 years. Used have his all Madden team for ""heart"" guys. Gave the special teams one year to a maintenance guy at the Superdome. A rock concert left their canvas bag up in the rafters and the Saints did fireworks before a game. The bag caught fire and was dropping bits onto the field during the game. The guy went up and gets filmed putting out the fire while the play is at the other end."

"Chiefs upcoming fixtures are the Packers, Vikings, Titans Chargers with a Bye somewhere in between If Mahomes misses all those games you could easily see them losing at least 2/3 of them then they'll be in a battle t even make the playoffs nevermind worry about 1st round bye's and seedings"

"Not sure - the guy must be well into his 80s by now. He won the Super Bowl in 1977, and had already been the Raiders' head coach for a while before then. I guess most people know his name these days because of the computer game franchise. I used to play it very badly - way back in the day - but haven't seen a version of it for about 15 years."

[Far Cough]

"I loved John Madden doing the colour commentary on games, does he even do that any more?"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Btw, the same surgeon who described that dislocation etc., estimated that the minimum amount of time it would take to recover would be 4-6 weeks. But that assumes minimal ligament damage that does not require surgery. If he has to go under the knife, then you're looking at ""several months"", which is season-ending. The bigger issue of all, though, is to ensure that the knee-cap is 100% centred again - or the risk of a repeat injury in future is high. So they may play safe and perform surgery just to ensure the knee is stable over the next few years. If it is misaligned when it heals, then the risk of another dislocation is much higher."

[southbankbornnbred]

"That's the science. Of course, some people just think it is ""the curse of Madden""!"

[southbankbornnbred]

"View of a knee surgeon... ""The patella is held in a centralized location by ligament structures on both sides, medially (inside of the knee) and laterally (outside of the knee). In order for the patella to dislocate laterally, which is the direction it always goes, the medial retinaculum and medial patellofemoral ligament have to tear. ""An MRI scan will assess a few things. It can visualize the medial soft tissue and assess the extent of ligament tearing. Also, when the patella dislocates, a specific pattern of bone bruising is visible on the medial side of the femur and the lateral side of the trochlea, which is the groove on the end of the femur where the patella tracks."" So, in short, it won't be a swift return. Sounds like there will have to have been at least some ligament damage and tearing for the knee to have dislocated in the first place. That will need to heal - so Chiefs fans should be hoping that the damage is minimal."

Must admit i shit it a bit when i saw this morning Chiefs won 30-6 as the guy im against this week has mahomes and watkins but then realised Watkins didnt even play and mahomes went out after 20 minutes.

[Grumpster]

"I must have been tired as was watching live and didnt even realise he'd popped it. As for the game, Broncos are obviously a bit shit currently, but the best I've seen Kansas defend for yonks. Flacco was getting smashed all over the place and fumbling for fun."

[Lee Trundle]

I dislocated my knee 20 months ago. Took me a few months to get back to being right. Although I'm guessing his physio will be slightly more intense than my once a week visit to the gorgeous therapist I had. You also have to get over the thought of happening again mentally.

[crystal falace]

"He'll be having a scan today but assuming there's no ligament damage he'll only miss a few weeks i'd imagine. It is crazy how fast these guys come back, regularly see players break their legs and the timeline for return is 6-8 weeks or something absurd like that."
