I like this: sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/report--nfl-will-narrow-goalposts-for-pro-bowl-game-192025016.htmlReport: NFL will narrow goal posts for Pro Bowl game This year FGs inside 40 have been 93%. League wants to see if making it harder could make 4th down decisions more exciting But it's worth noting that the NFL has long sought ways to make field-goal kicking a more difficult procedure. Kickers are so good these days that extra points are the statistical equivalent of automatic, and field goals don't get interesting until they get out past 40 yards.

I like it also. I shouldn't be nervous when a 68 yard field goal is attempted.

Not even two minutes in, one turnover each? Dumpster fires. Dumpster fires all.

ESPN reported this morning that Jay Cutler is currently the highest paid NFL QB. They said he just signed an extension less than one calendar year ago, and now he is benched.

If the Bears want to trade him, they'll find a taker. They most likely won't get much back due to his contract though.
Too many teams with even worse garbage at the helm than what Cutler is currently playing like.

Maybe they're referring to the guaranteed money? $54 million guaranteed was ludacris. I can't see anyone taking on that albatross of a mistake contract.

He's only took a team to the playoffs once? Twice? I know one was Denver and that was at the start of his career.

I think he said that because he left. Didn't he take almost the exact same deal the Lions offered with the Seahawks?
