The suspension of Tom Brady for having deflated balls has been upheld. He's out for the first 4 games

This is going to get messy. The NFL have backed themselves into a corner over what was at worst a minor misdemeanour. No good will come of this for either side.

Blount and Bell both suspended for Pat's Steelers game too. Patriots roster actually looks quite weak this year. Wilfork, Revis, Browner and Arrington have all gone.

They still look strong on Offence though with only Shane Vereen really going.

[DaveD]

Yeah that secondary is a major worry, given the pass rush is weak.

Oh Geno !

Raiders looking pretty much certain to move from Oakland.

St. Louis and San Diego seem to be trying harder to keep the Rams and Chargers.

Although the Raiders are my team, I hope that they don't get public funding for a new stadium, whether in Oakland or LA

I can see them going back to LA and having the Rams also move back there and sharing a stadium.

For those of you who play Madden, here's something a bit nuts ahead of Madden 16

Do you go to any Argonauts games TV?

Do you go to any Argonauts games TV?

Not really. I'm not much into the CFL. I have some friends who are Hamiton Tiger-Cats fans and I sometimes go to their games. In fact I'm going on Sept 11th to watch Argos vs Tiger Cats. The only time I really ever got into is when I lived in Ottawa 2002-2004 and they had the Ottawa Renegades. Who are now gone off course replaced by the Ottawa Red-Blacks.

Looks like the Packers have lost Jordy Nelson for the season.

[DaveD]

Yeah, that's a real shame. You never like to see one of the game's top players miss an entire season. I really fancied Green Bay to go all the way this year too.
