That's my first look at the overall #2 pick Bears new QB Mitchell Trubisky. Very impressive performance against the Broncos secondary, I think he'll be around for a long time and will probably be the Bears starter.

hopefully he'll come good, and become a platform to build with

Ezekiel Elliot suspended for 6 games - does anyone know the specifics to what happened? May well be reduced but that really could be a season ruiner for the Cowboys.

Shocker! Although his back ups are excellent, even the #3 back Alfred Morris has good pedigree.

At a beer festival in Copenhagen. I thought I was having the best time ever. Then my starting RB gets suspended and flex WR gets traded. And it's ~£12 for 400mls. What a life.

Certainly not a good day! Hope you're charging the beers on the company!

I'm getting quite into Last chance U now on Netflix. Did anyone feel like I did and ending up wanting them to lose? an arrogant institution buying success with washed up primadonnas only interested in their own careers? If I was that 2-6 mississippi delta college losing 48-0at halftime while they're taking TO's and rubbing our noses in it, I'd have been wanting to start brawling with them too! And that head coach what a hun face.

are you talking about Season 1 or 2?

on Season 2 I did as well, the only guy I wanted to succeed was the QB. The big guy that went in a huff every 2 mins got a spot at Penn St. Just shows how much these guys are pandered to. I wonder what will come of them when they leave college? Their coach is a bit of an ass as well.

That teacher Miss Wagner deserves a medal putting up with all that.

Season 1 I liked that team to be honest. Season 2 is a different story all together imo.

I don't mind the individual players. I like big Ron Ollie the orphan DT, I even like both qbs and dj law the superstar RB. The organisation is a bit of a 'flat track bully' though. Great documentary and insight into that world,really enjoying it.

[DarrenSQH]

Love that show. Season 1 I liked the guys on the team alot. Season 2 not so much. The coach is a D1ck throughout though.

First episode of Hard knocks was great. Winston comes over so well. Even as a Saints fan I liked him.

Both sum it up IMO, season 1 the guys for the most part are trying to be better and you find yourself routing for a few of them, Season 2 is a bit different. You'll see what we mean when you get there bollah.

[hibernianyank]

I love the show, but I can't stand Buddy Stephens. Next season they're not following EMCC, pretty sure they will be following Independent CC.

[hibsbollah]

Season 2 isn't a patch on series 1 IMO. I'm not interested in the religious storyline at all. And the players!??

The Elliot suspension fallout is getting pretty dirty. Journalists have been getting leaked information about the character of the accuser and the NFL have accused the NFLPA of leaking the information.

The NFL have said this amounts to victim shaming and is one of the reasons many victims don't come forward in the first place.

The players association have responded by accusing the NFL of trying to deflect attention away from the investigation and it's failings on player discipline.

There's a lot of aspects of this situation that make me feel uncomfortable, but I do have to agree with the NFL, the information that is leaking about the accuser is a clear attempt to publicly discredit her and get the public on Elliot's side. Even if she had made it all up, the investigation and the information during the basis of his appeal should be in secret IMHO.

[NOLA]

Obviously Elliot's management team see current lucrative sponsorships and future deals going up in smoke no sympathy at all. Hopefully the league upholds the ban to send out a clear message

Would there be this much of a reaction if it wasn't Ezekiel Elliot and less well known player? I doubt it.

The NFLPA statement on the Nfl allegations about the union blackening the name of elliots girlfriend is like something Donald Trump would tweet. The two organisations clearly despise each other.

[NOLA]

Elliot's clearly guilty. Hiding behind that beard

Anyone remember the website that tells us what games are on TV in the U.K., including the NCAA games? Surprised looking through the TV schedule that the Michigan v Florida game isn't on BT Sport.

Another preseason week goes by and more players protesting during the national anthem. Frankly I find it absurd that the anthem gets played before every game preseason or not, 🤷🏻*♂️

The anthem gets played all the damn time. I'm surprised people aren't sick of hearing it!

Yeah I got exited when I saw this weekend then realised the proper coverage doesn't start until next week. I normally go onto the nfl UK forum, in the NCAA section someone posts them there.

Bought game pass at the start of the month and madden arrives with 15%off code
