    I didn't know that signing with the Vikings was cause for suspension...

    • Guess what Lions' fans!

      Calvin Johnson is the next Madden 13 cover athlete!

      • Assuming the Colts draft Luck and RG3 goes to Washington, who has the the better percentage of wins as a starter? I bet it is RG3.
        We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

          RG3. He plays for the better team and probably is the better QB to begin with.

          The only qualifier is that the NFC (and NFC East) > AFC (and AFC South) by a lot. He'll face stiffer competition than Luck.

          This year, RG3's Redskins will face the NFC South, the AFC North, with games against the Vikings and Rams. Tough schedule.

          • Pro Bowl will be suspended this year, according to reports. Sources show doubt beyond 2013.

              • No one wants the game. It has sucked for decades, and most true stars avoid it like the plague due to injury risk..

                The NFL should just make sure that whatever it funds (NFL charities?) is taken care of and end it. Make All-Pro something that only happens on paper.

                • Turn it into a skills type competition. Anything to make it watchable.

                    They said they will continue to do the fan/player/coach voting of the Pro Bowl to go along with the press All-Pro. That does mean no need for Pro Bowl alternates anymore which will shrink the total number of pro bowlers each year.

                      They had a skills challenge and no one cared.

                          • Screw the Pro Bowl chat; that game is dead whether the league realizes it or not. What I'm wondering about is first-round trades tonight. There seem to be a lot more rumors than usual.

                            • The trades won't start until the draft does. (the only prediction I have, with the exception of the first two picks which I figure everyone is predicting)

                              • Going out on a limb here, but I honestly think Andrew Luck will go first overall. Don't be surprised to see Luck in blue and white next season, he has all the intangibles needed to be a successful NFL quarterback. He can make all the throws, is comfortable in the pocket and knows how to read the game. He's an underrated athlete, great speed and toughness, his vision down the field is impeccable. Good size and height as well, he's a prototype QB and a man that can be the face of the franchise.

                                I have him #1 on my big board.

                                I'm also thinking that Baylor QB at #2 to the Redskins but that's just a wild guess. Don't hold me to it.
