I heard. Hitting his kid with a switch or something, right?

Thing i hate about the Steelers is that they are inconsistent. They could probably beat the Seahawks one week and then lose to the Raiders the next week. Going to have to predict them to lose most weeks from now on though lol.

The Cincinnati Bengals appeared to have moved on from former second-round defensive tackle Devon Still when they cut him this preseason. Still, 25, certainly has looked like a bust to this point in his career, and his preseason play was not an indication he had come around.

However, Still has had much bigger and better things on his mind than football. His 4-year-old daughter, Leah, was diagnosed with stage 4 pediatric cancer back in June.

So when training camp came around, Still lost some desire to play. The Bengals had no choice but to cut him.

[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: ]

“I completely understand where the Bengals were coming from when they cut me because I couldn’t give football 100 percent right now,” Still told ABC News.

But there's a silver lining to this story. The Bengals re-signed him to their practice squad, and the $6,300 weekly salary and medical insurance will go a long way to help Leah. Still is eminently grateful for the team's gesture when he knows they simply could have made what NFL teams like to call "business decisions."

“They could have washed their hands with me and said they didn’t care about what I was going through off the field,” Still said. “It’s like a blessing in disguise for me.”

As a member of the practice squad, Still will practice with the team but not travel. That means he has more time to spend by Leah's side. Blessing in disguise indeed.

Yeah apparently he hit his child with a switch,I guess it had to have been pretty serious for the police to get involved but I don't know much more about the story other than that. It seems to be a certainty at this point that he won't be playing this Sunday.

NFL announces stricter domestic violence policy --- two new cases within a week.

Maybe that's the logic behind the new, more lenient drug policy. Now less players will do it, the thrill of getting caught is gone.

I decided I want to join this week since I love watching nfl and see how I do

go seahawks and bengals :P

Seems I'm making it a habit to miss Thurs night football again... Ugh.

Yeah it's pretty serious.  At first I thought it was people just going overboard...then I saw the police photos of the 4 year old child, that somehow did something so abhorrent as to warrant a beating that left bruises and cuts on his thighs, back, and scrotum.  I'll be the first to admit that as a kid, I earned myself several switchings, but I never came away with marks like that, and it still hurt like a mofo.

You're just making it a habit to give the rest of us a sporting chance!

Yeah, how 'bout that... lol
