Exactly, which makes me wonder if it even happened the way it's being portrayed. California has very strict gun laws, discharging a firearm in most towns will get you some trouble. Couple that with someone getting shot in the process, and I would think there would have been criminal charges brought against them. Seems like a money grab to me...

He sure looks horrible on TV.

I think it will be interesting to see what the Jets do this season - will they completely implode, actually have a so-so record, surprise almost everybody and have a winning season, other? Obviously they have a lot of issues, and I won't put rent money on it, but I guess it's possible that they may surprise. OTOH, they may provide some great daytime soap drama if things get out of hand.

From your link-
"Smith and Walker appeared on the balcony of Smith's home to try and end the party and began to fire shots into the air, the lawsuit said."

I'll have to remember that tactic for the next affair at Chateau Petard! ;)

Kind of interesting that the Bucs players voted on their Captains and Freeman is no longer wearing the C

Broncos trying to take back signing bonus from Von Miller. Maybe they figure they don't need him that much after all

Looks like Pouncey and Larry Foote out for the season for the Steelers. Their RB, Stephens-Howling, also got hurt.

Did the Hair get hurt also.?? Thought I saw a Stealer fan comment about it.

I didn't see anything about a Polomolu injury.

When the safeties and corners are worried about the QB running ability, it's easier to get open.

An important point for the people assuming Boldin would be putting up games like this for us. San Fran has a unique ability to force defenders to play zone to keep Kaep from taking off, which Boldin excels against.

Good point.

Plus, Green Bay's defense hasn't been very good in a few years.
