Steelers down to their third string quarterback.  No worries, business as usual!

I'm in a bit of a bind over this. Rothlisberger has been practicing this week, so will they play him next week? Rodgers is my other fantasy team QB and he has a bye week. Do I ditch Rothlisberger or play him and pray he starts?

The local news are reporting that he will practice this week.   However, I would urge caution and wait until later in the week.

Quite an ending to the Michigan v Michigan State game

The Bills have just conceded four touchdowns in six minutes. Are they Villa in disguise ?

[cdbearsfan]

The original Buffalo Bill played at Aston Lower Grounds so there is a connection!

[UK Redsox]

great effort by the Bills to get themselves back into the game but a combination of those early turnovers and they fact that EJ Manuel hasn't got much of an arm meant that defeat was alway likely

It was a great game though, hope this Sunday's game is as good.

Detroit are bad, Villa level bad

[CT]

Definitely. Supporting the Detroit Lions must be very similar to supporting the Villa.

They're appalling.

[OCD]

They were really good last year. Surprising how it's fallen apart.

That was incredible! Reminds of the one the Saints scored as time expired and then the kicker missed the extra point s they lost.

Giants 49 Saints 52!!

Beyond awful from Green Bay.

Not helped by yet more injuries

That was incredible!

The whole officiating crew have been suspended by the league. Apparently there were at least four offences committed that should have negated the touchdown

Wembley was great fun yesterday, a real event.
