Ex-New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs to sign with San Francisco 49ers, source says - ESPN

If I was a 49er fan I would like this signing. They would be Hoping Jacobs could produce and can take 4-6 of the tough short yardage plays a game away from Gore to keep him healthy.

New Orleans Saints' Sean Payton to appeal 1-year suspension, source says - ESPN

No way Payton gets it reduced to less than a year. I heard the main reason he's asking for an appeal is to have a sit down with Goodell to find out exactly what the parameters of his suspension are.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah i can't see the NFL reducing or even eliminating his ban, heard that if he can't get it overturned they're going to try and get Bill Parcells in as their interim coach.

If you guys care, check out Tuesday for the new NFL Nike jerseys. Let me tell you Nike > whatever the NFL has now. The jerseys will look cool and excited for the new look in the NFL.

 

[We Are Legion]

Still think the NFL came down ridiculously hard on Peyton. Every friggin coach in the league does that shit.

I wish they would release the name of the player that ratted him out.

Nike releases new NFL uniform designs; Seahawks get major overhaul | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports

Nike Released all the new uniforms today, not a lot of changes, expect for the Seahawks who got a complete overhaul.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I Actually like the Seahawks new uniform's. From what I've read, the Nike uniforms are much more comfortable than the old ones they had, think they switched over to Nike from Reebok.

 

[We Are Legion]

I'm not seeing how the Seahawks got a "complete overhaul".

The uniforms look the same to me.

I wish they would release the name of the player that ratted him out.

I heard it was Jeremy Shockey

 

[We Are Legion]

If that's true, no surprise it was an offensive player. What a bitch.

Jesus christ at Flacco wanting Tom Brady type money. I think the guy is great and all but he is not on that level yet. Glad the Ravens got Webb locked up in a deal but this could be some shit for Flacco to want that type of money, have to pay Ray Rice and now Ed Reed kinda talking about wanting a new deal.
