Out today
Keith Rivers is out, Brandon Johnson likely gets the start. Jerome Simpson is out, which means Maurice Purify will be in his first regular season NFL game of his career.
No Andre Smith or Chase Coffman either.

Maybe there is something coming up at the WR spot next year?? I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’ll lay money down that there’s going to be something that happens next year. When is Chad’s contract up? 2011, 2012?? Chad could be traded!!! I think they are waiting to put Simpson in, b/c they have a kid here, that is the most humbled person. They have him where they want him, to mold him in any way they want! Without complaint, under the radar! I think things are going as planned for ML now. With Purify, Caldwell and Simpson as future WR’s. I would suspect, if things play out right for the remainder of the season, they are going to pick another WR in day 1 of the draft. It’s not that Simpson is not good enough yet, it’s that the situation is not where they are wanting it to be, but staying under the radar. Remember, there was a trade offer to Dallas that nobody knows who was being traded. Might have been Chad? Jerry Jones said it would have made an immediate impact on his team and MB dumps a high contract. Just a thought!! Maybe we will see who the player was at the end of the season.

They essentially ported the XBox 360 MP environment over.
For PCs? I don’t think so. No mods. No clan servers. Limiting the games to 9 v 9 (when the PC community is well known for 64-man servers), no player banning… The list goes on.
The saddest thing about that is the MW1 PC community THRIVED and helped keep the game relevant. Nice way to repay them for their loyalty.
I didn't know.
In other gaming news, Epic is saying that Gears of War 3 won’t be out until the next-gen Xbox (720?) comes out.

4 points against the steelers
will be huge. might be the game already. unless the steelers make a mistake and give us the ball back at somepoint. like an interception to take points off the board when the steelers are in our red zone.
My guess.
To protect Huber. He was being held upright, in a defenseless position and he didn’t move for a few seconds. I think they’d do the same with most QBs on regular downs.

the rule is that forward progress spot is when the defender first touches him to drive him back...
by that rule, he should be a yard short because his momentum was carrying him back toward the line of scrimmage.
