    Yes, well said EF.

    Typically (not you Juliet), these are also the people who whine about the SEC getting preferential treatment in the college game, and believe that David Stern is rigging the NBA because of the Chris Paul deal.

    It's all a big conspiracy, and they need an outlet for their anger- generally they spew it on the subhuman ESPN comment sections. We get it, whatever.

    Great game by the Colts last night! I hope Reggie gets negative results on his MRI today. That would be a huge blow if he's gone for the rest of the year.

    Regarding Decker's non-touchdown call - the refs made the right call, however, I disagree with the "Calvin Johnson" rule, in and of itself. That should be a touchdown every time. I hope the competition committee visits this and changes it in the near future.

    Reggie Wayne out for the season with torn ACL.

    Which is terrible because you know when people say "it couldn't happen to a nicer guy?" This time it's meant totally unironically. Reggie Wayne is (and has always been) a total class act to my knowledge. Shows up, does his job (well) and has been overshadowed by other higher profile teammates for years. Now finally with his work ethic and being out from under their shadow to have this happen is heartbreaking.

    I hope he comes back next year and destroys the league.

    What carnage. Wayne for the season, Bradford for the season, Cutler for weeks, Briggs for weeks, Hall for the season, Cushing for the season.

    Also temporary paralysis for Jermichael Finley, he was in ICU last night. Second neurological injury in three weeks. Really brutal week.

    Man, I came in here to post the Big Red as the Koolaid Man gif. Laaaame :p

    And yeah, that is awful about Reggie Wayne. I felt a little sick when I saw that injury last night. Peyton kind of did, too.

    Not to mention concussion for Foles, and another hamstring injury for Foster.

    This was definitely a brutal week for injuries. The Chiefs have been really fortunate this year in that arena *knock on wood*. This after we had three of our biggest players out with ACL injuries 2 years ago. Even though our #1 Corner Brandon Flowers has been in and out this season with a knee injury, luckily rookie Marcus Cooper is making that almost a non-factor.


    EDIT: Oh, and we are lucky. Because according to analysts and the D-line, the Texans scummy O-Line was going after Dontari Poe's knees all day. And even I noticed something they pointed out- the Texan's Center was basically false-starting on every play. He kept moving his head and shoulders up before hiking to try to get guys to jump. Unreal.

    Of course then Cushing is crying foul about Charles' chop block. Hey, maybe it was because your guy had been doing it to our guys all day long. I can tell you Charles is far from a dirty player. But he's also a small guy trying to block a big guy. And he's a guy who was playing a team that had been running full speed at its nose-tackle's knees all day. Just saying.

    I can't remember a week where nearly every game (except for Jets/Pats which had Gronk's return and I think Ravens/Steelers) had some sort of serious injury of some sort. Of course the week still isn't over as we still have Monday night to get through.

    Given the state of the Giants, I'm sure my state of mind and my liver are going to take a beating tonight.

    This makes me happy for reasons beyond being flat out hilarious. Seeing our coach fired up and excited is awesome after being stuck with Todd Haley for so long. Romeo seemed like a really nice guy but I don't know if you would have seen this out of him.

    Reid actually seems rejuvenated after his last couple of seasons in Philly.

    Hmmm, an 86 yard punt return for a TD courtesy of Marcus Sherels (of Minnesota)? Not bad, not bad at all.

    Happy for Reid. Glad to see that his dead son didn't ruin his career.
