This made some headlines today: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap20...ryant-unhappy-with-tony-romo-in-sideline-spat

Opinion is split. Some say it's passion, other says it's childish. I'm more towards the childish side. Look at Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson. Those guys keep their mouths shut for the most part and they deliver. Bryant, on the other hand, feels the need to brag he's better than Megatron (Which he isn't!) and be a T.O. 2.0. And the coaches took no control whatsoever. It's players like him that make hate Dallas even more than I already did in the past.

I agree that Bryant needs to grow up. His team was still in the game (barely) and they had the ball with a chance to win, you can't explode on the sideline In that moment

Bryant is getting bad press because of his past... but the meme was dead on :) Tho one can argue you earn that kind of power.. Bryant was doing his part that day for it. That sprint up the sideline was incredible.

Fingers should have been more on Jason G for those two 3rd down plays at the end when trying to run the clock out... oh and the fact they let them get down the field in under 30 seconds.

Jason Garrett doesn't call plays anymore from what I've heard. I heard that Bill Callahan was calling the plays this year.

I feel that the Brady and Bryant incident are two separate ones. Brady is a QB, the supposed leader of the team and they are given more leeway to call out players who don't perform or coaches who don't call the right plays. Bryant is a WR where the only thing you can really control is running the route that the play calls for, the physical action of catching and then trying to attain yardage or stay in bounds. In my book, if you really want the ball, show your QB and show your coaches you want it instead acting like a baby and whine when you don't get the ball. Get into to that second or third gear to get yourself open and overcome whoever defending or covering. If you're not getting the ball for whatever reason, show your coaches and your team you're still for the team and you'll take whatever action is necessary to win for the whole, not just yourself.

Speaking of Brady, I don't know why more people aren't talking about this, but it's really a shocking stat. Brady has a QB rating of 61. That's worse than Chad Henne. I know he hasn't had the receivers, but now he has Gronk back and he's still not himself. I heard he has a hand injury, but if it's really a problem, why put him on the field? Yes, the Pats are still finding ways to win, but still. His TD-INT ratio isn't good, either. I'm not sure the stat, but I think he has more INTs than TDs as of late.

For anyone interested in reading an article Jermichael Finley put out about experiencing his spine injury...

http://www.nflevolution.com/article...ounts-spinal-cord-injury?ref=0ap2000000271891

But here is a line that really is scary.

I was very conscious, but I could not move. I looked my teammate Andrew Quarless directly in the eye and whispered, "Help me, Q. I can't move; I can't breathe." The scariest moment was seeing the fear in Q's eyes. I knew something was wrong, but his reaction verified it.

Fantasy Football warning: Justin Blackmon, WR for the Jaguars, has been suspended indefinitely for breaking the NFL's policy on substance abuse. So its time to scraping around the waiver wire for someone to replace him.

Fantasy owners who drafted him made the mistake of drafting him to begin with.
