For legitimately being on adderall, or for illegal abuse thereof?

This is absolutely and utterly the first time "Aqib Talib" and "stupid" have ever been linked together.

Two years ago, the guy was looking like he was developing into one of the best young corners in the league. Now, he mixes perfect, in-your-pocket coverage with completely getting blown off the field. When he's capable of being on the field, the moron. I mean, the guy clearly has the physical skills to be a proverbial stud CB (not "Revis-stud", but very good), but man, is he a complete and utter freaking idiot. Last year, he and Ronde Barber were the starting CBs. There could not be a bigger gap in brain power between two starting positions on the field anywhere else in the league.

Apparently he's not appealing, so I assume it wasn't prescribed with approval of the NFL.

I though you might approve of my choice in language.

That's the fourth Adderall suspension for a DB this year, that I've heard about. I wonder if they take it to help them focus during team meetings, or just to offset the pot smoking.

can work as a stimulant for some people who are actually not ADD I think.

and damn this week is a hard pick em week.

I've flipped back and forth in my pool and I'm convinced whoever I pick in the Bengals Browns game will lose.

Freeman INT in the red zone.

Haha. And now Tampa Bay gets an INT in the red zone against KC.

Oh no. Greg the Leg missed.

I don't understand how Tebow keeps getting yards. He's thrown 2 passes on the year, but had 14 rushing attempts, and a few more today. So it's like a 90% chance that he's going to run. And yet he's getting 4.1 yards per carry.

Apparently, the Vikings are going to play some home games in London. I bet that'll go over well since they just got a bunch of taxpayer money for a new stadium.

Wait, Shonn Greene is doing something? So confused.

Well it can't be for a while because the Jags are playing in Londpn for the next 4 years. Unless there is be more than one game.

wooo. When it doubt never pick Tony Romo... even if hes against Joe Flacco.

RONDE BARBER!

Takes one back for a TD. Between INTs, fumble returns, one blocked punt and an early-career punt return, that's TD #14 for his career.

Edit: Wait, forgot his glorious pick of McNabb in the NFCCG the Super Bowl year. Counting postseason, 15 TDs.

Oh wow.

Punt block in Tampa. Punter picks it up and tries to throw it. And gets intercepted.

How in the hell do the Chiefs have 4 points?

ESPN.com error. They scored a defensive TD and for some reason the ESPN.com scoreboard was only crediting them with the point after.

Next season is sooner that a while.

Browns!

So that would be more than one game here a season then. Like the end of my post said

Wow, the Chiefs are utterly and completely terrible. It's 31-10, and it honestly hasn't been even vaguely that close.

I left at halftime to go work out. I didn't have it in me to start watching again.

Rams missed a 65yd FG. But he had the leg, just missed to the left again. Wind in Miami apparently.

Ravens are choking it away. Wow.

Need Tony Romo to show up.

Dez Bryant took care of things. What a putz.

So the Chiefs still suck, but I'm 3-0 so far!

Ugh. Stupid Browns and Jets decided to stop sucking today.

All the home teams won the 1pm set.

Except the Eagles.

Dammit. Old Alex Smith is showing up today so far. 0 TD, 2 INT.
