Just wanted to share this tweet from Adam Schefter:

RT @AdamSchefter: Looks as if Vince Young has won Packers backup QB job. Packers are releasing QB Graham Harrell.

Nice! From what I've seen this preseason, he's earned it.

Good for him.

Good Luck

I have absolutely loved the entertainment coming out of the New York Jets this pre-season...what was a pitiful and sad state last season has become an obvious and comical situation this year. How could they stick with Mark Sanchez and not trade WAY up to snag a legitimate QB in the draft? Geno Smith? Come on, the guy was obviously never going to be some stud NFL QB...if arm chair GM's like so many fans are see this, how do the people making the big bucks within the NYJ's not see it coming 2 seasons in advance?

I seriously cannot wait until pre-season is over. Get to see the teams actually playing football instead of this sand bagging that the front runners are showing to people for the last few weeks?

Also, a bit of bright news for Falcons fans concerning the first game of the season...the Saints seem to have lost BOTH of their starting DE's, which just further degrades their defensive front. Rob Ryan is going to have his hands full getting that group together and functional against the top teams in the NFL (including the Falcons).

Some people see it as retribution for wasting Tebow's time and talent....

Well... the Vikings finally won one...

Packers have released Vince Young, leaving a practice squad QB to handle their backup QB duties. Patriots have released Tebow as well.

Just saw that and it's puzzling seeing as they released their back up Graham Harrell a few weeks ago to make Vince the back up. Something must have happened we don't know about yet to warrant his release.

Yeah, that must be true. I can't see a team handing the backup QB role to a practice squad QB out of nowhere

Kickoff in few hours!!!!

Kickoff for the Broncos vs Ravens game is at 8:30 PM ET on NBC, right?

 

[John Yester]

Yup that is right

Actual game coverage is scheduled for 8:30ET... kickoff likely 8:37-ish...

More or less... currently experiencing weather delays for lightning...

 

[kch50428]

kickoff now 8:55ET....

 

[kch50428]

As seen via Facebook.... NFL Memes... Weather delay? No, that's just God saying he can't stand Ryan Seacrest at NFL opening night either.

How ironic is it that the NFL/NFLPA won’t let 22 guys run around on the field with lightning in the area, but it’s ok for the 76,000+ people in the stands (largely steel seats) while the lightning is flashing around them...

I was thinking the same thing Fausty.

Good Luck

I'm not a Broncos fan. However, that offense looked good. Number 18 is pretty good too.

I wonder if Peyton is that good when he is playing Madden

Forget Madden, he's killing it on Fantasy Football right now.
