    IMO Kyle Cook was the greatest loss.

    And what's messed up is that Britt has EIGHT offenses and gets ONE game. This is Haden's first and he'll get four.

    Is Marvin Lewis an idiot? Who plays their starting QB in the FOURTH preseason game?

    Any idea when the league is supposed to rule on Haden?

    Well at least the Cowboys are trying to do something to fix that online... They traded with Miami for Ryan Cook . Don't really know much about this guy but he can't be any worse than what they already have.

    To
    NFL Fans:



    The 2012 NFL regular season is about to begin, and it promises to be another
    exciting, competitive, and unpredictable year of football which NFL fans have
    come to expect every season.

    Part of our responsibility in helping teams
    and players prepare for each NFL season is to make sure they understand and
    respect league policies and rules. As always, we hold everyone, including
    ourselves, strictly accountable for protecting the integrity of the game,
    starting with the health and safety of our players. This year is no exception -
    bringing with it a clear, consistent, and renewed emphasis on enforcing our
    longstanding “bounty” prohibition.

    Let me be clear: there is no
    place for bounties in football. No exceptions. No excuses. Bounties are an
    affront to everything that competitive sports should represent. Everyone in the
    NFL is responsible for adhering to these rules and we are all accountable for
    protecting the safety of our players - present and future.

    The bounty
    prohibition forbids offering or accepting any reward - cash or otherwise - for
    on-field misconduct, plays that incentivize or result in injury to opposing
    players, or for performance against an opposing player, group of players, or
    team. The bounty prohibition not only preserves the competitive integrity of our
    game, but also protects player safety by removing incentives that could lead to
    dangerous play or unnecessary and/or intentional injury. As a league, we will
    ensure that the prohibition against bounties is clearly understood and
    consistently enforced. Period.

    We will aggressively protect the health,
    safety and long-term livelihood of our players, both on the field and off. We
    can preserve the fierce competition that makes football great, while
    simultaneously committing to the relentless pursuit of safer play. Our players
    do not make excuses on the field; we will not make them off the
    field.

    It is our job to protect, preserve, and promote the game of
    football that we all love. We want an exciting game featuring the world’s most
    talented football players enjoying long and successful careers. The bounty
    prohibition plays an instrumental role in achieving that. And we are committed
    to holding every team, player and owner accountable.

    We appreciate your
    interest and hope you enjoy the 2012 NFL season.

    Kind of surprised to see the Pats cut QB Brian Hoyer. They also dumped Deion Branch while the Skins got rid of Tim Hightower.

    Don't they have Ryan Mallett? If they feel like he could be a replacement for Brady, there's no reason to keep Hoyer around.

    Seahawks have signed TE Evan Moore in his place.

    Wasn't surprised THAT they got rid of Hoyer as much as HOW they got rid of him. I figured they would've traded him before just outright releasing him.

    MJD ends his holdout without a new contract. I'm sure he's gone first chance he gets.

    Herm Edwards predicted the same Super Bowl matchup that I did. Same result too.
