No offense to you or your daughters olddude but I wish the NFL didn't have cheerleaders at all. I hate the way they are presented on television as sex objects and nothing more.

They were with the Bills rap. One short stint with the Pats by my oldest but her work load was too heavy to continue when she moved to Boston. I am glad they don't do that anymore. never had anything but kindness from the players, the fans ... another story entirely ... I came close to getting thrown out of several games.

Urlacher is still great because he just has that innate sense and the intelligence it takes to play what I call free safety. Gosh... so many other names come to mind besides Dick and Brian... first one is Ronnie Lott... man he was fun to watch. Tight ends going over the middle had tight ends!

He is still playing great, he may not completely disrupt an offense as he did in the past but he still has it. However Green Bay offense is really churning and now they have a running game again. It should be a great game for sure

I was always amazed at how he got away with late hits on guys already down. It was as if even the refs feared him.

By the way, my oldest was in 3 super bowls. It was great to see her on the national stage and her dad was right there watching. Didn't care a crap about the game was there for my daughter. I sure hope this year is a great game, they have been getting better lately. In the past they were not very good games. Lately they have been very exciting games to watch. Anyone know who is favored in the GB Bears game, first I saw GB by 3 then I saw Bears by 4

I have daughters, and two of them were NFL cheerleaders, and not once did they ever have any actions by any players that were inappropriate over the 10 year period. I also know what Ben does for sick kids. Things are not always as they seem on the TV or internet. It is easy to always believe the bad without knowing the circumstances or the accuser.   Now back to the game, Steelers will hopefully be in the SB ... and I sure hope Green Bay beats the tar out of the bears ... never liked that team but I did like some of the players in the past (especially Walter Payton)

Actually, I have a confession... Th4 Steelers were never "my Steelers"... MY late wife, Judy, grew up in Youngstown, Ohio & turned me into a Browns fan... Now in Ohio yer either a Steelers fan or a Browns fan but me being a Virginia boy kinda liked 'um both... That way when I went to Ohio with her I wouldn't piss off anyone too bad... Pure survival instincts... That took...

Go Steelers!!!

Everyone is talking here. Why were Welker, Branch, Gronkowski... benched? Was Welker disciplined???? Edelman was not sent in to replace Welker??? That's just the tip of the iceburg.

The consensus is that the whole thing is fixed. Seriously, that's what Eddy The Bum 2 and even the guys at my Sobey's food court are saying and those guys are experts. Now, I don't frequent Tim's so I haven't got conclusive research but it sounds like The Belly may be gettin "fat".

Big Ben is a very good decent person, like many other guys sometime he thinks not with his brain but other body parts. He was setup by others who just wanted quick cash, he was stupid and showed poor judgment but he is no abuser of any type to any one. He is young guy with money and it played out just like Jack said.

I think it will be Steelers/Packers

They both seem to have better leadership and more playoff experience than their opposition.

>>Or indicating how tons of money can pay off victims, but they suspended him for 4 games without protest.


When these players beat thier wives, torture dogs, or comitt sexual assult without being kicked out of the game it cheepens the game. This is the best game in the world and the players should not be criminals. <<<

No and no.

Obviously, if there had been payoffs, one of the accusers would not be suing.


These men are not competing for Miss America, they are not "spokesmodels" They throw balls, catch balls, run with balls and beat the living crap out of each other. What they do off the field has no bearing on that.

I think that Ben was an irresponsible drinker with poor judgment, but I don't think he is a rapist. The girls come up to him, bat their eyes and flirt cause he has 2 Superbowl rings and a 103 million dollar contract. He takes a liberty. They see dollar signs and cry "rape."

Stupid? Yes. Rape? No.

Hopefully, missing quarter of this regular season has taught him a lesson.

They suspended him for misconduct... not for rape. He is innocent until proven guilty. Your comment that victims were paid off is a tad too much.

In any case, this thread is about the games on the go.

And the Pats are in shit. That punt ruse was ALMOST a real good idea.

But, I still expect them to pull it out of the fire. Just watch what happens in the second half when The Belly brings in Welker AND Edleman at the same time. And then fires to Branch in the long game. <;-)

No way the Jets will stay in this game if their QB keeps overthrowing wide open receivers ... brought up 4th and 1 and they had to punt ... that receiver was wide open and he keeps over throwing them.   Big Ben won't do that ... will be interesting whoever plays the Steelers
