really scary McElroy wants to do that considering he throws passes at the wrong marker. his throw from the first down marker at the end of sundays game was one of the dumbest things i've seen during a game.

I don't even know what team he's on. He was a solid college QB, but I don't think he's NFL caliber. Then again, you could say that about half the QBs that have jobs in the NFL. He's biding his time...he'll be saving lives in an OR in the near future.

Peyton, please make a recovery so you can start the season. I have a bet with my cousin that Peyton will break Farve's record.

it is their first mnf game in 10 years. i've always liked the lions out of pity. also was a big barry sanders fan as a kid. nice to see them finally appear to be on the verge of respectability again.

NFL Films, NBC Sports partner to create “NFL Turning Point”

Posted by Mike Florio on August 24, 2011, 1:27 PM EDT
You possibly saw the promo during halftime of Sunday night’s Chargers-Cowboys game on NBC. If you didn’t (or if you did), here’s more info about the first-ever NFL show to air on VERSUS.

NFL Films and the NBC Sports Group have partnered to create NFL Turning Point, a new weekly series in which the crucial moment of two games will be dissected, with the help of the football footage that only NFL Films can capture.

“NFL Turning Point is symbolic of the high-quality, relevant programming viewers will see more of on our national, all-sports cable platform,” said Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBC Sports Group. “It unites two of sports’ premier storytellers in NBC Sports and NFL Films to bring viewers a new perspective on the game.”

“Showcasing the sounds and images of the game, from the smallest detail to the big picture has been our strength for nearly 50 years,” NFL Films president Steve Sabol said. “We are thrilled to get an opportunity to produce that type of show with a new partner in VERSUS.”

If you don’t already have VERSUS, call your cable or satellite provider to find out how to get it.

for 81:

LeSean McCoy last year became only the 10th player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards and catch 75 passes in a season. If he does it again, he’ll become only the fourth player ever with consecutive 1,000-yard, 75-catch seasons. The first three? Brian Westbrook (2006, 2007), LaDainian Tomlinson (2002, 2003) and Marshall Faulk (1998-2001).

I remember a rodney peete led birds squad hanging near 60 on them in a playoff game back in the day. that was great.

Always looked forward to watching the lions just because of sanders. glad detroit is supporting them. I know they're a popular playoff pick, but I don't see it happening. The NFC is pretty loaded this year

I told you westbrook was a beast for a couple of years. McCoy can still be.

Question about Sirius and NFL Ticket.

Are the preseason games on sirius?

Also, my Sunday ticket mobile stuff shows the schedules for the preseason games this week. Is there a chance that the games will be available on the Ticket mobile app?

I'm curious because I have had the ticket for years and could never watch preseason games before...

EDIT: Confirmed! Preseason games are available on the Sunday ticket app but not the tv. Weird.

Redskins vs Ravens... This game is pretty pretty pretty good.

The Juggler

okay....now let's go ahead and fast forward to 9/11



edit--feels weird wanting to fast forward to that date.... :?

I tried to get tickets to that game right at 10 AM when they went on sale. It was sold out in 3 minutes. Then I tried to get tickets to Thanksgiving vs. the Packers. It was about 10:09 at that point, and the whole upper bowl was sold. All that was left were a few $270 seats way down in the lower bowl.

Last year, I just walked up to the box office a few weeks before Thanksgiving and picked out some tickets.

The attitude has changed so much in just 1 year. It's really something.

Edit: I should probably add that this is the first MNF game the Lions have had in like 10 years. The last one was when they were still playing in the Silverdome.
