And 28 year-olds don't have strokes when they're in peak physical condition without something weird going on. It's stupid to think he could have possibly not been on steroids.

You have NO proof of that. You can call me stupid all you want. I'm sure there have been plenty of 28 year olds that have had strokes in the history of the world. You're making an assumption and you're entitled to your opinion but it's hardly fact. So in your mind after recovering from the stroke the Pats should've assumed he was on steroids and just dumped him right then and there? I'm sure no other team would've taken a chance on him because they're so morally conscious.
Wait, was that a quote from someone else? If so, direct that post to him. I understand people threw out that card when this all happened, but nothing has been proven. We could argue about this all day. I'm not gonna change your mind, your not gonna change mine so it's pointless.
In other areas, the Packers looked real solid last night taking down the Vikings. And the Raiders looked awful. They will give the Chiefs a serious run for worst team in the league this year. And wouldn't you know it, they face off next week, a serious test for both teams.

Re: 2008 NFL season
The Packers looked pretty good last night. The score wouldnt have even been as close as it was if they would have quit shooting themselves in the foot. They'll have to correct that because not every game will be like that. Some team will take advantage of those mistakes.
Re: the Colts, I think alot of it boils down to rust. How long has Peyton been practicing? The Bears were impressive however, take nothing from them.

I'm not so sure how much I buy the rust factor for the Colts. It's not like Manning isn't very familiar with the system they run and the guys on the team. How much practice does he really need? I honestly don't know, maybe a lot. Did he not practice at all this summer? I didn't even realize that was a home game, opening a new stadium to boot. I just assumed it was at Chicago when I saw they were winning. Maybe the Bears are better than I thought, or maybe the Colts are worse. Everyone seems to want to give them a pass though.
Re: 2008 NFL season
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tore both the ACL and MCL in his left knee, the Boston Globe reported Wednesday.
The newspaper also reported medical tests revealed no damage to the other ligaments and no torn cartilage.
Brady suffered the injury during the during the first quarter of Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. He was hit in the back of his left knee by Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard and crumpled to the turf, clutching the knee.
A typical course of action is to wait 4-to-6 weeks for the MCL tear to heal, then reconstruct the ACL. According to the paper, the reigning MVP will undergo surgery in one month. He is expected to face 6-to-9 months of recovery and rehabilitation following the procedure.
Brady threw a single-season record of 50 touchdowns last season for the AFC Champs.

damn...6-9 months 
Re: 2008 NFL season
Well, on the bright side, there's not a better time for a season ending injury than in week 1 (or pre-season). At least the team has time to adjust for the entire season, AND the player has more time to recover. 6-9 months from January would put the beginning of the next season in doubt. This way, he should have plenty of time to be ready for next year.
If Cassel doesn't fall flat on his face, which remains to be seen, the Patriots should get better as the season goes along and they get accustomed to having a new man at the helm. I would expect them to come out and play with a lot of emotion this week against the Jets. After that they could have a letdown. But barring any more serious injuries I would expect them to improve with time. Of course, this could be the beginning of one of those lost seasons that are just marred with injuries. I sure hope not though.

Re: 2008 NFL season
Bills win again, this time it was very tough, but I'm feeling pretty confident now. Jacksonville seems to be the toughest game until after the bye, and now with Oakland, St. Louis, and Arizona it's possible the Bills could be 5-0 going into the bye. I'm not expecting that, but even 4-1 would be really nice. Edwards has another fine game, the D holds up fairly well, and although Special Teams struggled they made a few plays towards the end to seal the deal.
Pats and Jets both look bad. Wish they would've shown Chargers/Broncs instead, I don't know why they assume I'd rather see the Pats-Jets. Didn't see the Packers game but watched the score scroll across the bottom line and it looked crazy.
Carolina may end up being a serious contender out west.

Pats won, it may not have been pretty, but it doesn't have to be. A win, is a win, is a win. There's no style points in football. They controlled the game throughout, it was never in doubt. So while it may not have been pretty, it was efficient.
Bills should beat Oakland and St. Louis, 2 of the league's worst teams. But don't sleep on Arizona, I'd say they're the favorites in the NFL's worst division right now. The Pats/Jets game was the clear choice for the national game. The Brett Favre factor, Cassel in for Brady, that's why you got that game instead of Chargers/Broncos. Plus, regionally, if you're on the east coast you're not getting that game either. Chargers did get hosed on that call. In my opinion that was far worse than the "tuck rule". Of course, I'm a little biased. I love the tuck rule.
