Re: 2012 NFL Season
The Time Has Come Buzz
Still think the Bears will win tomorrow? I picked Viks to win
Bears have stumbled a bit of late, so the Vikings could be catching them at the right time. But Cutler is supposed to be good to go. I still think the Bears are the better team, so I'd give them the edge.

Giants are having their way with the Packers right now. Son of a bitch!
Yeah, watched that game with my Giant fan friends. It's not easy having Giants fans for friends when they've beaten the Pats the last 2 Super Bowls they've met in. 
I have to say though. The Giants are ridiculous, and you can't base anything off of what they do prior to December. Every year they go through a lull it seems, yet they can turn it on at any time. Eli played like shit the last 3 games, yet he is one of the best clutch QB's of our time. So that means nothing. What the game tonight means, is they have a big advantage over the Packers. Yes, they had some key guys out tonight. But the Giants have beat their asses the last 2 times. That's a psychological advantage right there. If they meet in the playoffs this year, that could be tough to overcome, no matter who's healthy.
I hope I'm wrong, because lord knows I never want the Patriots to have to face the Giants ever again in my life. But that's just me.

Kansas City Chiefs' Jovan Belcher kills himself, police say

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the team's training facility after killing his girlfriend in a seperate incident Saturday morning, Kansas City Police spokeman Darin Snapp said.
The shooting occurred at 8:10 a.m. local time at the team's facility near Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City Police communication supervisor Kathy Childs said.
Belcher killed his 22-year-old girlfriend at a nearby residence before driving to the training facility, Snapp told NFL.com's Albert Breer. Police have not released the woman's name, but confirmed she and Belcher had a 3-month-old child.
"About (7:50 a.m), we got a call to a residence, in regards to a shooting, on the 5400 block of Crysler Avenue," Snapp said by phone. "We arrived and the lady there informed us that her daughter had been shot by her on-again, off-again boyfriend. The young woman was taken to a local hospital, where she died a short time later.
"At about 8:10 a.m., we received a call to the Arrowhead practice facility in regards to a black male armed with a gun in the parking lot, and he matched the description of the shooting suspect," Snapp continued. "Officers arrived, saw a black man with a gun to his head, and some Chiefs employees. As the officer got out of his car, he heard a gunshot. It appeared the individual shot himself. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead."
According to Snapp, Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, coach Romeo Crennel and another unnamed Chiefs staff member were talking to Belcher just before he shot himself, Breer and NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported. Snapp said Pioli and Crennel "never felt like they were in danger." Belcher thanked Pioli and Crennel for all that they had done for him.
When officers arrived, Belcher walked in the opposite direction from where they were standing. He then shot himself, Snapp said.
Snapp said the shooting occurred outside the front doors of the facility.
The Chiefs released a statement in regard to the incident:
"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning. We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."
Belcher, 25, grew up on Long Island, N.Y., and played for the Maine University. There, he was named first-team All American in the Football Championship Subdivision. After going undrafted in 2009, the Chiefs signed Belcher as a free agent. The fourth-year player was named a starting linebacker in 2011.
The Chiefs are scheduled to play host to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Panthers reportedly have been told by the NFL to keep plans to travel to Kansas City for the game.
Re: 2012 NFL Season
The thing about Alex Smith, he was actually playing better than Kapernick is now when they decided to bench him. He was the NFC player of the week the game before he was benched. It's completely baffling. I'd say if The Vikings or The Cards could get him they should. The dude isn't mediocre. Far from it.
Is it wrong to hope your team just loses out the rest of the season so we can get Jarvis Jones?
