Most of the league smokes weed...lol. Just some are smarter than others and don't do it an hour before boarding a plane to Philadelphia...to think that only a select few smoke weed is naive.

You're right. Historically...there isn't a better team...lol.

What a bunch of idiots. Ugh. But it couldn't happen to a better team!

A much larger portion of the league smokes than you think.
You can buy fake piss or detox kits and beat urine testing easily. I know people who have passed drug tests for federal jobs using fake piss, I doubt the NFL tests are any harder to beat. I'd wager they're more concerned with PEDs.
Apparently, the 'Hawk's D did so well in the SuperBomb because they were touching receivers. The league wants that to not happen again in their showcase game, so the zebras will be enforcing the 5-yard-contact rule more stringently.
One thing I am not clear about is whether that means a WR could plow into a set FS without being flagged, or does the rule cut both ways – and if it does, how would that affect things like Denver's "pick play" (that raised such ire in the AFCCG)?

Don't think that was the reason. Look at yesterday's game against the Bears.
All first string on both teams.
31-0 in first 3 quarters.
Denver looked killer on offense. I have a feeling they are going to be very tough again this year. Very tough.
Good.
Although Goodell should have done that from the beginning. The timing - just a day after Josh Brown's season long suspension - is also very ironic.
It still doesn't make up for the fact that Ray Rice still only has a 2 game suspension though.
I wonder if Roger Goodell beats his wife. It's the only logical explanation for the complete joke 2 game suspension Ray Rice gets for beating his wife on camera.
Meanwhile another guy gets suspended for an entire year for doing something that probably 40% of the league does and is legal in the home states of two NFL teams.
Well, and I can kind of see the point. NFL football is a very violent sport, violence good, but maryjane makes people tend to be mellow (non-violent), so weed bad.
On a slightly different topic, I find these odds posted to win it all:
Any thoughts? Who will play more than 16 games? Who will miss the play-offs? Who will be in the SB?
I am going out on a limb and saying SB ex-licks will be Luck v. Newton, probably going to the latter.

Josh Brent was suspended for 10 games for driving drunk and killing a teammate. Good thing he didn't smoke any weed.
Agreed. That is totally messed up. Brent should never be allowed to step foot on a football field again.
@AlbertBreer: Per sources, Wes Welker has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's PED policy. It was for amphetamines.
Best thing that could have happened to him from a concussion standpoint. Dude has had 3 in the past 10 months.
Checks all fantasy teams. No Welker, whew.

I agree about the concussions. He is the second Bronco to be suspended for the first 4 games.
He denies it of course and ESPN is "implying" that he used the sample collection defense (which was denied).
This is going to hurt the Broncos but now we know why kept so many wide receivers on their practice squad - they must of have known this was coming down.
With the latest concussion he received against the Texans, they also could have been hedging their bets that he wasn't going to be healthy enough to start the season.
Being forced to sit for 4 games will probably help him in the long run, but with so many concussions in the last year, he may be one more away from having to shut it down anyway.
In a sense it will definitely help him, but given the last few concussions, its probably best if he hangs up his cleats. Why risk brain injury at this point.
I read somewhere (espn or football talk) that Manning is the one to blame for his concussions by exposing him to those hits as he throws to him. I don't know if that's true or not but clearly he's getting hit hard as a Bronco
