Slaton's problem last year was a residual neck injury that supposedly made him fumble the ball because being hit in a certain place RENDERED HIM MOMENTARILY UNCONSCIOUS, if his neck gets better he should be alright but if not I'd say his career is done.

poo poo, I didn't know he went unconscious, I thought he just had no feeling in his hand the whole season due to a pinched nerve.

By this metric David Carr isn't even the worst Texans QB of all time (GO gently caress YOURSELF CHRIS BROWN)

Wikipedia says they banned tinted facemasks except for medical need in the 1998 season. I tried looking for a better source, but suprise, NFL.com doesn't seem to have a listing of rule changes by year.

There are certainly rules against collusion between teams, but I'm not sure what the actual wording of the rules are. Trades also need to be approved by the NFL.

"No, you can NOT trade Bernard Pollard to whomever is playing the Patriots for the first 6 weeks of the season"

Can anybody give any jersey buying advice? Are the NFLshop ones really worth the price?

Both will get you 'authentics' (fake but extremely convincing, much better than the $90 official replica jerseys) for $38.00 shipped.

e; I went seaching for the old Coupons thread and apparently these kinds of sites are getting shut down by feds?

Kind of a lovely thing to move the thread to the Gas Chamber though. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2911318&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=36

I have some questions about communication.

How many plays, audibles, and coaching signals are players supposed to know?
Does it depend on the position?
What exactly does the QB say just before the play: just some code words, or the full plan?
How often do codes and audibles change?
How often does a playbook change and the plays a player is supposed to know?
If they do, is it to adapt to the opponent, or is to prevent "espionage"?

How much is said over the radio head sets? Who has a receiver in his helmet? Is it possible to eavesdrop on those?

I don't know about the rest, but regarding radios - one person on field for each team has a radio. It's always the QB for offense, and I'm pretty sure it's generally the MLB on defense.

Stupid question:

Is it possible to purchase the apparel made before the Super Bowl for the losing team? I remember seeing some TV story once upon a time showing a bunch of kids in Africa who must think the Buffalo Bills are the greatest NFL team ever since they were all running around wearing donated clothing.

I kind of want to mock the hell out of a friend of mine who's insistent that the Rams should be awarded with an additional Super Bowl victory since the Patriots cheated.

Are there vendors that sell this sort of thing?

Looks like your best shot is a pin, I don't really have any idea where you'd go about finding something like a shirt or hat.

To continue this subject - When the Jets and Giants play each other in NY, would anyone know if they both use their separate home locker rooms, or would one of them have to use the visitor room?

I would assume they would have to use the visitor's locker room, if only because not having your own stuff and your own decorations and colors and not being "home" is the only real part of the "home field advantage" the de facto home team gets in that particular game.

Well, there's also the fact (OK I'm not 100% sure on this so correct me if I'm waaaay off) that the season ticket holders for the 'home team' are going to compose the majority of the crowd, or at least I would think so.

Something I always wondered, if the Green Bay Packers are owned by shareholders but the stock pays no dividends, where do the profits go?

From my understanding, it goes to city improvement. I could be mistaken however.

Welp shows how much I know. At least I'll get some good giggles from it.
Any recommendations for overrated players for me to draft and cackle madly by myself with?

By the way thank you everyone for your corrections.

I don't know if you actually talk to fantasy football players, but if you draft a team of overrated players they're just going to laugh at you and look forward to playing your team. The only real way to troll them is to draft an actual good team while pretending to know absolutely nothing about football at all, and justifying all your actual good picks with ridiculous excuses or stories loosely based on their last names. And they're probably going to see through it.

I suggest you look at a picture facing the other way

Not really getting what you're trying to say here... why wouldn't it be safer? Unless you insist on dunking the ball over the goalpost and it falls on you, but hey, there're rules against that already
