PrintIf you didn't know, Cortland Finnegan of the Tennessee Titans is a bit of a dick. Pictured above is the moment just before him and Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans started punching each other in the face. Today, I read a post saying he's not a bad guy. Oh boy. We'll get to that, but first, your Thursday morning Green Bay Packers and NFL news and links.

In a typical year, minicamps wrap up in mid-June and players go into a month-long period of active rest until training camp. This year, not so much.
I think Neal is going to get some very regular PT if he stays healthy.

He might not be an atrocious human being, but he is a straight up ass on the field. If he played for the Packers, I'd be ashamed to root for him. And the crack about him being called scrappy or tough if he played for the Steelers or Patriots? Yeah, that's why so many people hate James Harrison.

Bills weakest position group? That's easy
Football players. They have a strong fanbase, but are a little weak when it comes to playing the game.

I recently visited
the Buffalo Rumblings fans posts page.
The comments were closed on all of the posts that were more than three days old! WTF?

Sites have different lengths.
The Steelers don’t close their comments at all. The Bills one is annoyingly short though.

Cortland Finnegan is kind of a dick
I don’t know, maybe it was because I had him in an IDP fantasy league & he kicked ass, but I like him. I do like his tough-nosed playing style, and though I like Andre Johnson, I still find myself kinda rooting for him. I guess I like the old-school football play that he displays. He’s not one of my favorite players, but he’s above “indifferent” to me.

IDP
is the only way to go.
I’ve been playing the same (non-keeper) IDP league for 15 years, and can’t imagine a team-defense league being anything but boring by comparison.

Lineup is made up as follows:
OFFENSE
- 1 QB
- 2 RB & 2WR, or 1RB & 3WR
- 1 TE
DEFENSE
- 2 DL
- 2 LB
- 2 DB
SPECIAL TEAMS
- 1 PK
- 1 P
- 1 KR team (only team unit)
Formula for game scores is
offense + spec. teams – opponent’s defense +15 (to keep final game scores in positive numbers.
Final game scores look like realistic football scores.
Though coordinated through this outfit in California,
the league I am in is all local, with a live, in-person draft.

Now, about yours.
2 D Huh?
2 DL
2 DB

It only classified front 7 vs defensive backfield
Linebackers were DL (and rarely also DB). D was either DL or DB.

Ah
