It will be difficult for Sterger to succeed in any lawsuits against Favre or the Jets. She faces severe problems on the nature of the harassment, the filing deadlines and a "notice" requirement. For her to succeed in a sexual harassment lawsuit, she must be able to show that the harassment was "severe and "pervasive" under federal law. That means simply the incidents of harassment must be multiple and disgusting. There is no set number, but most experts agree that there must be four or five incidents before the behavior qualifies as harassment. Source: espn.com
One mans junk is another woman's (meal ticket) treasure
Now I'm not a woman or a gay man, but I'd hardly call getting a personal text by a Hall of Fame QB getting dick (you know what the fuck I mean). So what, forward it to your gay friends or hit him back. You obviously gave him the digits in the first place. Most (non handicapped) super fans get dick form these overpaid NFL assholes anyway. Unless your a lucky fan who's team happens to host those giving J-E-T-S
While Tom Brady’s record streak of 319 passes without an interception got all the attention, even more impressive is that the Patriots quarterback has thrown interceptions on just 0.8% of his passes this season. No quarterback in NFL history has reached Mr. Brady’s totals in attempts (476), yards (3,701) or touchdowns (34) while throwing interceptions on fewer than 1% of his passes. Source: wsj.com
Brady to start in meaningless finale?
Belichick's track record indicates he won't rest Tom Brady and the starters this week, but I get the feeling that he's leaning toward keeping some of them out of the lineup, or at the very least, he's going to greatly restrict their playing time against the Dolphins.
Running back Adrian Peterson, who practiced Saturday after sitting out Thursday and Friday because of a thigh bruise, is listed as questionable but has shown improvement, according to Frazier. "He was able to go through some things so that was good to see," Frazier said. Source: startribune.com
Peterson facing a tough match up
The Bears are currently ranked #1 overall defending the run and are on average giving up 126.4 yards per game. They have only surrendered 11 rushing TDs in the 14 games they have played this year and they also rank 25th (1 being the best) in allowing fantasy points to opposing RB's.
Update: Adrian Peterson was declared inactive because of a right thigh injury.
Aaron Rodgers was unable to get through the NFL’s concussion protocol this week, so he will not play for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night at New England. Backup Matt Flynn will make his first NFL start in Rodgers’ place against the 11-2 Patriots. Source: greenbaypressgazette.com
This week's deep reach at QB
Matt Flynn faces (sort of) a nice match up this week vs. the Patriots. The Patriots are currently ranked 31st (1 being the toughest) defending the pass and are on average giving up 209.7 yards per game. They have surrendered 21 passing TDs in the 14 games they have played this year and they also rank 4th (1 being the best) in allowing fantasy points to opposing QB's. The Patriots have embarrassed Jay Cutler and Mark Sanchez in recent weeks, and relying on a rookie vs. a Belichick defense doesn't sound like the rout to fantasy success.
The Redskins are preparing to start Rex Grossman over Donovan McNabb at quarterback Sunday in Dallas. The move for the Cowboys game will certainly lead to speculation that Washington will cut McNabb after the season, particularly because both McNabb and Shanahan said McNabb is healthy this week. He has participated fully in practice, according to official injury reports submitted by the team. Source: washingtonpost.com
Them's the breaks, kid
McNabb is in the midst of what is, statistically, his worst season as a starter. His passer rating of 77.1 ranks 25th in the league and is a career-low, and he has thrown a career-high 15 interceptions.
