It's not worth the extra effort, because it won't go towards anything. One extra week for the newbs to get familiar with the rules is all that's needed.

Jets Release Pennington, Miami Interested

Not that this is a suprise

Good start by the Saints offense tonight, Brees led the team down to a TD in his only drive of the game.geaux321

I was more impressed by the refs on that drive.

Yes he is. Bush looked good on some plays tho, too bad holding was called twice on his biggest runs.

That game is going to set the tone for the season for both teams.

Bush's best run was when he had no room to go anywhere, stuck his head down and got four yards.

Very unlike the Bush of the last two years...

Until Peterson can prove he can go a full season without get injured imo Westbrook has the edge..
