NFL - Various and Sundry Items

So Philly, Miami, Detroit, N.O. and Dallas are hurting even worse than the Packers, while Chicago has improved?

Unfortunately for the Bears, they still have his contract on the books so they're still hurting really bad. And fortunately for the Packers, that hammy should be healed up by Thanksgiving.

Ragnar The Viking no longer with team due to contract dispute. Wanted $20,000 per game for the next 10 years. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...scot/72590786/

That petition is funny, it states that he "is the most widely recognized mascot in the world." Umm, no. I don't even think he's the most recognized one in his own state.

I mean... i don't even know for sure if that's a gopher... wouldn't Patrick Stewart or Bill Murray have destroyed him by now if that were the case?

Manziel is on the bench as the #2 QB to allow a McCown to start. Merrill Hoge rejoices.

Manziel is Satan's version of Timmy Tebow.

Fall is here, and the Goodells have appeared in stadia all across the land. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...or-60-minutes/

That’s ending tonight; via multiple reports, Goodell is being interviewed by CBS’s 60 Minutes at MetLife Stadium, in advance of Thursday night’s game between Washington and the Giants.

Steve Kroft of CBS News is handling the interview, which via NJ.com is being conducted on the field at a “makeshift set with lights and cameras.”

Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post reports that a pair of NFL P.R. executives are listening to the conversation via headphones. As someone pointed out in response to that on Twitter, it’s possible they’re actually hearing a Patriots radio broadcast.
