NFL 2013

[Ginaz]

Icognito suspended from team indefinitely, plus turns out to be a SWELL GUY.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that in April of 2013, Incognito left a voicemail for Martin saying, “Hey, wassup, you half n—– piece of [expletive] . . . I saw you on Twitter, you been training ten weeks. [I want to] [expletive] in your [expletive] mouth. [I'm going to] slap your [expletive] mouth. [I'm going to] slap your real mother across the face (laughter). [Expletive] you, you’re still a rookie. I’ll kill you.”

These days, if an NFL player told me "I'll kill you" I would be scared for my life, esp. since one of them is on trial for multiple murders.

[Paelos]

Rodgers getting hurt? Yeah GB needed that. It ties the room together.

[Ghambit]

Irony.

Edit: Also, apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

A forum member (I've posted there before actually; and it's where I go for phins info.) sleuthed out his dad after some pretty suspicious posts.  The old guy didnt even bother changing his screename from other sites - wasnt hard to smoke him out.

Anyways, I personally think there's way more to this story then meets the eye.  If what Incog's father said is true (Martin was a drug addict and 3-time suicide attempter) then that obviously changes everything.  Regardless, the team seems to be sticking by Incognito and not Martin.  That's telling.

Why?

[Rasix]

An old white man's idea of a drug addict is probably just someone that smokes some pot.  

The accusations about Martin's life excuse nothing about Incognito's behavior, even if true.

Irony.

The link I provided discusses smoking him out.

Also, I call BS on this "changing everything".

On the way home from kendo practice, I was telling Ingmar how I was in pretty good shape in fantasy football this weekend, as I was down 25-ish points but I had three Packers to go while my opponent had no one playing tonight. And then I thought to myself, "Assuming none of them decide to get hurt in solidarity."

Guess who one of my players was tonight? 


(still won, though)

[ghost]

Green Bay is fucked. 

[Nevermore]

Not quite as fucked as they would have been in recent years, though.  Lacy has been running really well.

[MrHat]

He's not known for a stable health record.

:(

[Mithas]

They are saying he will probably miss three weeks. They will lose all three.

[ghost]

Yep.  They're fucked.

[Nevermore]

So does this mean we won't be able to discount double check for three weeks? 

[HaemishM]

Rodgers getting hurt? Yeah GB needed that. It ties the room together.

Yep, forget top 10. If Seneca Wallace is our QB for the next 3 weeks or longer, we are FUCKED. Proper fucked.

EDIT: Also, holy shit, but the Bears defense is fucking BAD. Terribad. Lucky for them Seneca Wallace can't throw for shit. Also lucky for them that Green Bay's secondary can't cover any-fucking-body. Our front 7 is pretty decent at stopping the run and stuff within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, but if the ball gets past that level, we're going to get gashed for 20. Maybe if our 2 main pass rushers weren't fucking hurt again.

Seriously, the Green Bay training staff needs to be fired. The amount of fitness injuries over the last few years has been astounding, especially knee and hamstring issues that continually flare up like Matthews.

[sickrubik]

I assume you're not blaming a knee/hamstring on Mathews current issue.

[HaemishM]

No, but there have been a number of guys on that team that have missed practice time or games because of hamstring issues. Matthews and Nelson both had issues with that last year and this, and there are a lot of knee injuries going on (which may partly be because of the NFL's attempt to get people to stop hitting the head).

[Bunk]

I felt bad about getting excited when Rogers went down. I went in to that game expecting my Bears to lose by twenty. Backup vs. Backup made for a much better game.

You are correct about the Bears defense. In my fantasy league I dressed James Starks, even though he's running behind Lacy, just because I know how bad the Bears are up the middle right now. They were mediocre to start the year, and now are down Melton and Briggs. Not good. Good thing they can score. Tressman's got them running and gunning like they were the Allouettes, its fun.

[HaemishM]

It's amazing how good a Bears offense can be with guys like Marshall, Jeffries, and Forte when the QB actually has time to throw the fucking ball. The Bears O line is just light years beyond last year's model, both on the personnel front and the scheme front.

[Mithas]

The Packers should give Favre a call. How great would that be?

[HaemishM]

It would be lovely, but he'd probably forget about the call 2 days after he signed the contract and never show up.

[sickrubik]

Flynn is available and I have to imagine someone they will try to grab off waivers.

[Mithas]

Flynn has an elbow issue. I think that is unlikely. Word is they will promote Tolzien off the practice squad and probably just stick with Wallace.

Ah, okay... didn't realize Flynn was injured. But.. jesus.. Wallace looked TERRIBLE.

[kaid]

This is pretty much what I am thinking. he knows the scheme well enough and has proven he can drive our offense effectivly in emergencies and is currently on wavers. lets get him back and punt wallace.

This. Elbow issue or not, I'm almost positive he couldn't do worse than Wallace.

[sickrubik]

Clearly.. the answer is...

[HaemishM]

Fuck you. You shut your dirty whore mouth.

Also, thank the football gods it's not Vince Young.

[Nevermore]

It's too bad the trade deadline has past.  I'm sure they could have swung a trade for Brandon Weeden.

Broken collar bone and only 3 weeks? lucky him. Mine was 6 weeks before I got full motion back without pain.

[ghost]

They're fucking dreaming if they think he'll be back and functional by 3 weeks.

[sickrubik]

It's apparently non surgical and fairly minor as things go. He wanted to suit up lats night and go back in.

[ghost]

Yeah, but a fracture is a fracture and healing time is pretty much 6 weeks.  He might not cause more injury to himself, but I can't imagine he'd be at full capability.

[HaemishM]

So still better than Seneca Wallace? 

[Rasix]

I'm not sure I've seen a more awkward throwing motion than what Seneca Wallace was offering last night.  Yes, I am including Tim Tebow.
