So many personal fouls in this game.

To be fair, Denver has nothing to do with it. Janikowski kicking off from the 35 in any stadium is going to lead to a whole lot of touchbacks. That is true. And I have always liked Decker.

63 yard FG for Janikowski

Denver is rocking. And this new kick off rule with Janikowski in Denver is stupid.

Holy. Crap.

I have not read any of this thread so I could be way behind on this but I just read the Rivals150 for this years class and Sam Dekker is ranked 18th. Is this year really that down? Or am I missing something?

well cutler tried to throw it to his man but another man got the ball and ran the whole way down the other direction :-))

Great catch by Calvin. Stafford limping, could be just a cramp though

Houston is up 34-0 right now.

Stafford to Megatron for 6 on 4th down.

Dream team down 7 already.

Tramon Williams has a bruised shoulder. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/09/tramon-williams-has-bruised-shoulder/ Big sigh of relief

He's a mediocre player having a nice year largely dependent on his defensive value. Nothing new for him. 5 years in MLB, 3 of them between 0.9 and 1.1 WAR and a couple goofy outliers. I hope the Brewers keep him around. So do I. Because between Gomez and Morgan the Brewers will always have an elite defensive player in CF. And on a team like the Brewers who are terrible on defense it is really nice to know that at least one position they are above average. Is Gomez really an elite level defender? He looked awful out there last night, hopefully that was just a one game deal, but he was bad. Yeah he is. His UZR/150 is at 24.0 this year. And his career numbers in CF are are 15.4. He also has a WAR this year of 1.5 despite his batting being -4.8 lol. He can't hit his way out of a paper bag but his defense gives him good value. And like I mentioned earlier anyone who can play defense on the Brewers is valuable.

THE BEARS ARE SO LUCKY THEY DONT HAVE TO PLAY HIM Ha that made me laugh. Seriously though, how slow is Colston? I know he was never a fast guy but it feels every year he is slower than last year.

Stafford or Freeman?

This. Brandon Phillips has fun playing baseball. Nyjer Morgan thinks he's a badass and can't even decently execute a terribly contrived alter ego. i guess nyjer morgan doesn't have fun playing baseball? No, because he is a hockey player. Or something like that.

Yeah but Morgan started yelling as soon as he struck out so this is impossible I thought?

No argument here, Carpenter is a whiny asshat. In defense of him, the only problem he has started with the teams you mentioned is none of them. Phillips called the Cardinals bitches and the fight wasn't even a game he was pitching, nothing has come of him and the Cubs (he actually diffused some stuff back in the day with Sosa after Zambrano had his blowup with Edmonds), and Morgan - sorry, T Plush was the one running his mouth the whole game (seriously man, it's on video after his double.) I'd say the situation never happens if Morgan - sorry, T Plush handles being struck out late in a tight game like an upstanding youth league hockey player would instead of screaming immediately and throwing a mouthful of chewing tobacco. I have no idea why you keep mentioning his hockey days. At all. After striking out Morgan he said "F-- you" and Carpenter turned around. Morgan yelled back to him "F you, p--" to Carpenter. And he tossed his chew in his direction. Carpenter was turned around and Morgan starred him down and began walking back to the dugout. Pujols or "Alberta" as Morgan would call him decided to run towards him like he was involved. So Morgan said "F you to" to Alberta. The fact that Alberta got involved confuses me as Molina (who we all know has a short temper as it is) was standing by Morgan and didn't say anything to him. Yes Morgan does talk a lot. He has his whole career. So why now is it such a big deal? Is he the only baseball player to ever talk crap during a game? Is this breaking the so called "un-written rules" of baseball that baseball Jesus Albert Pujols and Tony LaRussa hold so sacred their hearts? Like how according to LaRussa your not allowed to pitch inside to Pujols? Or that the lights at Miller Park are changed from when the Brewers hit and when the visiting team hits? Or is it the fact that the Brewers are stealing signs?

I just saw something on NFL Network. They asked him about his TD pass to Cobb. "The catch and run where he actually ran the wrong route, I was able to read him, Surprisingly. We didn't have off season workouts. Surprisingly I was able to read his body language, and he made a nice catch and run for a touchdown"

I'm anxious to hear the audio. Some people are saying the first thing he did was mock Brees for having OTA's. I am looking for it right now. I will post a link or tell you what he said as soon as I find it.

Could very well be the case. Won't count Brady out yet but it was sure a show those 2 put on tonight.

I have not heard it yet, but during the lockout the media gave Rodgers a bunch of crap about not getting together with his WR and getting workouts together for the team. Well I guess during his post game interview he ripped into the media like 2 or 3 times about it.

Also, Morgan also has the 3rd highest WAR on a 1st place team 11 games away from clinching his division. You call him mediocre, I call him a big contributor to a division championship team.

Won't settle anything, but maybe an ass whipping would help him realize that he's not a badass because he played hockey as a teenager. Oh? Yeah. Getting into it with Carpenter, Pujols or Molina would not be his wisest choice. Being a bad junior league hockey player only takes you so far. You're right that it won't really change anything, I just don't understand how you tolerate it out of such a completely mediocre player. If Prince or Braun gets hurt because Nyjer Morgan, sorry, T Plush, is an idiot who can't handle getting his talk returned... Again, Carpenter started it. Carpenter is the biggest b---- in the league. He crys about everything. From bad fielding to bad calls to fielders forgetting his glove. There is a reason why the Reds, Cubs and now Brewers always have a problem with the Cardinals. If Pujols doesn't run off of first guess what? The situation ends like that.
