Around the NFL...Preseason Week 2 Style

Ironically this might be the most tragic part of the Seau suicide.

Junior Seau's system found to have no alcohol or illegal drugs - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8286994/junior-seau-system-found-no-alcohol-illegal-drugs)

The autopsy said Seau's brain didn't appear to have any trauma. His family has donated some of his brain tissue for research.


Lots of mixed emotions when I read that. Obviously the first one being that he didn't have to die. Second one being that his death may have been from nothing, as theres a strange sense of honor in what he did.

But of course then theres hope that if this falls through and he didn't have any damage then it'll show that not every player with a long career will have to worry about head trauma after their career which of course brings us back to the fact that Junior needlessly died for virtually nothing.

Buffalo Bills release veteran LB Shawne Merriman - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp12/story/_/id/8284576/buffalo-bills-release-veteran-lb-shawne-merriman)


I remember when some Skins fans were foaming at the mouth to trade for this guy(after his injuries). Dude is a former shell of himself since the injuries.

Merriman was actually one of the guys I was interested in watching this season as the man was blowing up my Twitter feed virtually every day this past offseason talking about how hard he was working. Wanted to see if it was just talk or if it would end up amounting to something and I would be proved a fool to doubt him.

Ha. Correct thread postage.

Vick and his ribs, tisk tisk. Looks like 3/4 of the NFCE have O-Line issues.

3. Defensive end Jermaine Cunnngham was able to turn the corner on veteran tackle Todd Herremans and apply a cage-rattling hit on Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. The hit was to the left side of Vick's torso, and knocked him out of the game. He had X-rays on his ribs following the hit, it was announced.

Nope

The eagles are gonna have a long year if foles plays much, he's still raw and obviously he's not vick so...

Raw yes but I think he's done ok so far. Made a few bad decisions but ok overall IMO.

This could be the happiest year of my life. Seeing the Phillies and the Eagles stink it up in the same year would be too good to be true.

Philadelphia won't be a sb contended actually I'm not sure they make the playoffs

That's what I'm thinking. The Giants will be SB contenders again, but Philly sucks and Dallas is mediocre at best. There's no way we'll be in the cellar this year.
