I still can't decide if the Texans/Patriots game is going to be an epic shootout, or a low scoring fight 'till the bitter end. The football fan in me wants to see the shootout just 'cause, but either way - that's got potential to be a possible GOTY candidate.

As a Denver fan it's kind of annoying to see Watt and Smith praised like they are without a mention of Von Miller who has played just as well if not better than them. Granted that is because he's in the shadow of Manning but he wins the DROY with a season most LB's would love and comes back with a better season than most will ever have.

And now, a letter from Roger Goodell:
To NFL Fans:
The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Golden Anniversary marks a major milestone in the history of professional football and the National Football League. The Pro Football Hall of Fame opened its doors on September 7, 1963 and has achieved 50 years of excellence in honoring the legends of the game, preserving pro football’s historic documents and artifacts and educating the public regarding the origin, development and growth of this sport we love. The NFL, its players, coaches, and owners are proud to participate in many events and activities to celebrate the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s first half-century of success.
The NFL has designated all the games played during weeks 14 and 15 of the 2012 season to pay tribute to the Hall of Fame. During these games, each team’s players will wear the Pro Football Hall of Fame 50 Year logo patch on their uniforms.
Also, Hall of Famers will be in the broadcast booths to announce and comment about the Hall of Fame’s 50 Years and teams will use the occasion to honor their alumni and celebrate their team histories. Another very exciting element of the 50 Years celebration is the completion of the largest-ever expansion and renovation of the Pro Football Hall of Fame facilities. I strongly encourage all football fans to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio during its 50th year to witness, first-hand, the major enhancements that have been made to America’s premier sports museum and showplace.
In order to “bring the Hall of Fame exhibits to the fans,” the Hall of Fame has launched a 7,000 square-foot interactive, multimedia national traveling exhibition, titled, “Gridiron Glory - the Best of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.” This exhibition is currently at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh and will travel to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans followed by a five-year nationwide tour to major cultural institutions.
Congratulations to the Pro Football Hall of Fame for 50 years of success and thanks to the fans for helping to put the foundation in place for even greater success in the future. We appreciate your continued support of the NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Sincerely,
Roger Goodell Commissioner, National Football League

That explains why the Broncos and Raiders were wearing a Hall of Fame logo on their jerseys last night.

According to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, "from everything I hear" Terrell Suggs (biceps, questionable) will at least try to play in Sunday's game against the Redskins.

Well Art Donovan knows alot more about football than he does wrestling so he won't be asking how much this guy weighs.

With all the talk on possible changes to the game with kickoffs, I thought Pat Kirwin had an interesting idea on Sirius today. He suggested that if changes are to be made they should keep kickoffs for the start of the 1st and 2nd half as well as to start OT (including the ability to onside kick as a surprise) but following scoring plays the other team would get the ball on the 20 like a touchback had occurred. Teams would also get 1 onside kick to be used in place of the opposing team getting the ball on the 20.
I thought it was a pretty good idea compared to the 4 and 15 bullshit.

According to Yahoo Sports, new Browns team president Joe Banner is "lukewarm on the prospects" of Brandon Weeden "developing into a star quarterback."
After speaking with three "NFL sources," Yahoo's Jason Cole considers Buffalo to be Michael Vick's most likely landing spot in 2013.

What's the record for most consecutive games with an interception thrown?
Brees surpassed Unitas' record- whose record is Palmer chasing?

Ed Werder Very good source tells me that Saints owner Tom Benson would sue league for millions if Sean Payton allowed to leave for Dallas or elsewhere

I don't see why Buffalo would want vick if they are going to draft a franchise QB in the draft and they already have a stop gap that knows the offense in Fitz

Sunday's forecast for Green Bay is calling for "multiple inches" of snow during the day, and the Lions-Packers game on Sunday Night Football could be played on a "snow-covered" field.
