Watched a video about Romanowski last night that was a real trip. I'd never actually heard the guy talk and he's pretty much the exact opposite of what I'd expected. His voice and demeanor are completely incongruous with such a raging asshole. He seems like he should be serving food at a Chilis or something, and yet it's a given that on his first day he'd smash a plate across a customer's face leaving them with cuts, burns, and maybe a broken jaw.

 :lol :lol :lol

Romanowski was, is and will always be a Grade A jackoff.

Buddy of mine went to high school with him.   Calls him a dick, but I don't get the sense it's because he's a raging out of control lunatic, but because he's so singularly focused.   Sometimes people that don't operate at anything less than 100% rub people around them the wrong way, and that's Romo.

Now....moving on to the game:  this new 'leading with the helmet' rule is going to add yet another judgment call.  Just what we needed.  I absolutely, totally understand the reasoning behind it, but two of the five fouls called tonight were borderline with absolutely no intent.  The others were shoulder leads to the midsection or under the arms that were just 'plays' last year, no intent or spearing at all, but drew flags tonight. 

I'd hate to be a defensive player now.  I can also see a bunch of games being decided because of this rule, and that just doesn't seem right.  If they are going to do this, I'd prefer just a five yard non-automatic 1st down penalty to result instead.

Agreed.  Offense should be off the charts this year given these new rules.

From everything I hear the Browns are expected to be much improved this year. There’s no way Tomlin will have his team up for Week 1 against them and I fully expect the Steelers to start the year 0-1. Until then, just hoping the pre-season injuries are minor.

Browns vs Giants this Thursday could be cool to see the top two draft pics.  I read Barkley is really shining in camp and they are already limiting his reps to keep him fresh for the season.  Saw a clip of him taking a screen pass to the house in practice, loved it because it was motion with OJ.  Those two on the field has a lot of potential and am really looking forward to seeing the offense.

Their offense could be quite prolific with Barkley, OBJ, Engram and Shepard. If Eli has time to operate...they might be going back to the playoffs.

Yeah and who knows if Bell even shows up, or if he does, if he'll be remotely ready.

That is the key, and the defense.  I'm not sure what to expect from the defense this year.

I think they will be the team to seriously challenge the Eagles in the NFC East.  The defense is still very talented - I don't hold last year's bad games against them since that can happen when the season is going to shit under a bad coach who was on his way out - and the return of OBJ and presence of Barkley should make the offense really good again.

Lots of preseason tonight. Good opportunity to see flag after flag after flag on people trying to figure out how the hell the game is played now. If I'm ESPN I'm bringing in William Shatner to explain how lowering your head is a foul if the player is leading with his left leg, unless it's Tuesday after dark, in which case it's a dead ball (except on Wednesdays).

Pretty much, but I am interested in checking out my current favorite football player suit up for the gmen for the first time.  I doubt I watch much more than the first series.  But also a new coaching staff could make it worth watching to see what this team may look like, but even that in the first game is not really meaningful.  I'd love to see the preseason shortened.

For the most part, I couldn't care about the preseason or offseason in any sport.  In fact, I tend not to pay close attention to the first month or so of the MLB season until hockey is done and the first month of the NHL season until baseball is done.  Because the NFL only plays once or twice a week, I can more easily overlap the beginning of the NFL season with the end of the MLB season and the first half of the NHL season.  I just don't have the time for exhibition games.

What was?

I didn't see it.  I have read, however, that it is already clear that Hue Jackson is in over his head and many believe all of these improvements they made to the roster may not pay dividends right away until they get a new head coach. Hard to have faith in a guy who is 1-31 so far.

Hard Knocks sucks.  I tried watching again and they're bleeping out every other word.  Unwatchable.  It's HBO FFS.  What are they trying to do?  Keep the NFL respectable?  :rollin  Kinda too late for that isn't it?  If they're filming a HK episode, they should tell all the potty mouths to clean it up so the audience can watch a program that flows and is coherent.

I haven't watched in years.  Its kind of hit or miss based on the team, but if you watched one season, you kind of watched them all as it's really the same story with different players every year.  At this point, I'd only watch a season if it was on my team.  I did put it on last night and I was able to fall asleep within 5 minutes.

I never watch pre-season. But low and behold, I get home last night, turn on the TV, and there are the JETS, barely up against the Redskins. I watched the Jets RB get stuffed on third and goal, and I say to my wife -- I don't care how much time is left, and the Jets are up, they are going to lose this game.

Well...

Boom.

Being a Jets fan...sucks. You know what is going to happen, and it always does. SHould have turned the TV back off.  :lol

Well, you're not alone Sam.  Being a Cowboys fan isn't much better.  I was watching their 1st pre-season game at the Niners.  Boys led the entire game up until 18 secs remaining.  Lost by 3.  Same stupid shit.  Different year.
