Why?

You know what you did

Picked against GB?


Hahaha I did too, not because GB isn't a much better team (they are of course), but because NO is at home and likely to be desperate. A cornered dog can be a dangerous one.

Picking against GB is of course a scummy action, but it's not the reason for the bans (that would be sooo 2012). You are already hurting yourselves by picking the loser, so there's no need for further punishment.

The reason for the bans is unsportsmanlike conduct. Backstabbing and taunting, respectively. Further clarification:

1. You must not support Ninsect/pezus.
2. Laughing about me is bad enough, but putting me on the same level as that Ka-pi96 character is flat out insulting.

:-O I'm sorry, could you ever forgive a folish NobleTeam360?



I'm shocked Kennan Allen only has one TD this year. o_O



Another great game by the Broncos. The Chargers actually played pretty good they have a pretty tough remaining schedule but still could make the playoffs though and Antonio Gates is still a beast.

As an additional because I wont be here to actually predict it, for the Thursday game in Week 8...

I predict the Broncos to beat the Chargers.

Let me know if you get this and mark it down.


I hope you marked this down.

Will post the rest later today.



                            

I am now a Cowbro. But I also think GB on a good day is unstoppable this year :D



Denver's new Brandon Marshall is making everyone forget about that other Brandon Marshall in Chicago. How did this guy get cut, twice, by the jaguars? He's been a force on the field so far this year, doing more than an admirable job in filling in for Danny Trevathan.

I dunno, I think that was a compliment

Anyways, I don't know much about the NFL, but go Cowboys!

Yay! Go Cowboys!!



The Lions are Ready For Sunday!!!

Not only are the Lions five hours ahead of you right now, they’re also weeks ahead in terms of game-planning for the Falcons.

According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Lions adjusted the way they prepared for this game because of the time difference and travel lag. In addition to talking to military officers and a sleep specialists about the adjustment, they also changed the way they prepared a game-plan.

Coaches were given the option of staying late on Fridays and Saturdays, typically the shortest afternoons of the week, to work ahead on Falcons tape as opposed to cramming this week while they were flying and getting adjusted to the new schedule.

(Jets quarterback Geno Smith was not apparently consulted on this.)

“It does take quite a bit of preparation and time and you hope it doesn’t take away from the preparation of the present team that you were playing,” Caldwell said. “And I don’t think it hurt us a bit in that regard.”

In fact, the Lions have won two in a row, so any time they took away from previous weeks to get ready for the Falcons was obviously not a hindrance.

That allowed them to set up shop at a resort there, and have what amounts to a normal week of practice.

“You always have a few glitches here and there, but for the most part, it’s in place,” Caldwell said. “We have to work through a few bugs and I think we’ve gotten those worked out. But the difference is, anytime you relocate it’s bit of a challenge, right, logistically? But if you can adapt and adjust, you’ll be better for it. Our guys adjust very, very well.”

They didn’t talk to players about the Falcons at all until this week, but the fact coaches were willing to buck the “one game at a time” mantra shows an impressive flexibility on Caldwell’s part.
