The Swamp

I get to pretend that the “public ownership” of our team is pretty awesome, but in reality I am very well aware that if given a democratic vote, the Green Bay Packer shareholders would ban non-whites from the stadium with at least 90% of the vote.

Alex:

We are unequivocally the St. Louis Cardinals of the NFL. I hate myself.

Former NFL offensive lineman Richie Incognito is in police custody on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and making threats, a spokesperson for the Scottsdale, Arizona, police department said Tuesday.

According to the police, they were called to Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary, where Incognito was making arrangements for his father's funeral.

"Incognito reportedly was upset with staff and began to damage property inside the business and shout at employees. At several points during his contact with staff, Incognito threatened to retrieve guns from his vehicle and return to shoot the employees," according to the police.

Well he wouldn't call off the blitz, so Harrison couldn't help over the top so it left Hobbs on an island. So he is, sorta.

I figured the 2007-2010 Lions record of 26 road losses was pretty unassailable, but the Browns are at 22 and none of their road games look too easy:

Saints
Raiders
Bucs
Steelers
Bengals
Texans
Broncos
Ravens

But I'll say they'll tie the Lions record and end up beating Cincinnati to end the streak at 26.

I'll be shocked if Taylor doesn't open the regular season as the starting QB.
