That jersey sales graphic is such a small and arbitrary window though (May through October), e.g. any earlier and AP takes Minnesota, and longer and Bridgewater takes Minnesota.

Thing I can't understand is Jamaal Charles in Hawaii. Did he go off in a Pro Bowl or something?

Surprised about Luck in Oregon, definitely didn't expect that. I imagine marriota will change that soon enough

There was a lot of chatter, but who would trade for AP at this point? Teams would be steering clear of that PR mess and his bloated contract at any cost. Pretty sure I remember reading that they were very actively shopping him around within 48 hours of the news breaking.
Searched around to try and refresh my memory, but couldn't find anything outside of media speculation about trade talks. No local sources and no credible NFL sources to my knowledge have commented about any official trade talks between the vikings and any other team. Don't think there is any evidence that the Vikings actively shopped him around this year. Could be wrong of course, but can't find anything with limited searching.

Only two teams love convicts and naer do wells. Dallas and Cincinnati. The Ravens only hires murderers and fires wife slappers. So they are an enigma.

AP will take a cap friendly deal for Jerrah. Especially if they get deep into the playoffs.

Murray gone.

Marshawn will be out there as well. Jerry is going to have a ton of ways to blow cap space. Fun!

The Raiders will take anyone, too. But considering it took the entire beer industry to make the vikes suspend him, I have my doubts about this situation and the PR role of it.

True, however NFL can still suspend him indefinitely to avoid another Ray Rice debacle.

If they are smart, they will and use the PR backlash to kill the player's union when they foolishly defend him (and Rice).

Love me some trumpet. Can't recall the last time I listened to the full anthem

Is MNF the only game that the NFL televises the National Anthem during the regular season?

I can't believe Tom Brady beat Peyton Manning in Wyoming. On the other hand, there are so few people in Wyoming that a large family of Pats fans might be able to swing the voting if they went out and bought jerseys for everyone.

The Bengals haven't had a player arrested in like...five years. There are PLENTY of other teams far worse these days. The Bengals are actually a pretty boring squeaky clean team these days.

Pacman didn't shoot anyone in the last 5 years?

But for real the Bengals are fantastic about rehabilitating bad eggs and having them play well. I have respect for that.

Why did they get rid of the 5 yard facemask? That last one was just a slap on the mask...he didn't appear to grab the bars and pull. 15 yards seems excessive.
