I honestly feel Dallas probably be 7-2 without all these injuries solely on defensive line. And running back

Bill Voth @billvoth 39m
Real good chat right now with Steve Smith. He was ADAMANT the #Dolphins situation is not what happens in NFL locker rooms.
Bill Voth @billvoth 38m
Smith, who readily admits to his mistakes, says he’s never seen or heard of what Incognito’s accused of doing in his 13 years in NFL.
Bill Voth @billvoth 37m
Smith then asked Greg Olsen for his opinion. Olsen: “Nope, that is in no way indicative of an NFL locker room. It’s an isolated incident.”
Bill Voth @billvoth 34m
Smith was mostly upset at media and players who have been saying it’s just the culture of the NFL. Again, he claims it’s absolutely not.

From a player that has broken two teammates noses in separate incidents. Really Smith should take Martin under his wing. He would have surely told him to fight Incognito...........................or I will fight you. -

Who would have thought that in 1 year the media would be forced to discuss 2 people:
1. The fake dead girlfriend

Man charged with using stun gun on wife to settle Bears-Packers bet
By Will Brinson | NFL Writer
November 6, 2013 12:51 pm ET
A man and woman wagered a Taser bet on the Packers and Bears Monday.
A man and woman wagered a Taser bet on the Packers and Bears Monday. (USATSI)
Are John and Nicole Grant from Florida? Because that's really the only way to explain why they would make tasering one another part of a football bet. Which is what they did, you see.
We learned about this "friendly wager" after John was taken to Dodge County Circuit Court on Tuesday and charged with using the stun gun on his wife. Nicole -- a Packers fan -- let John -- a Bears fan -- use the Taser on her after watching her team lose.
John claims that Nicole consented to letting him use the stun gun on her if the Packers lost. Nicole, who alleges he stunned her twice in the butt and once on the thighs, obviously felt differently and called the cops after it happened. John was charged with "possession of an electric weapon."
He showed police Nicole's cell phone which featured not only a text message where Nicole told her sons about the Taser bet, but also a video in which Nicole is apparently laughing while being stunned.
Presumably what happened is the woman agreed to this bet because the Packers were going to dominate Josh McCown and the Bears. Then Aaron Rodgers got hurt and things got awkward quickly.
No one is in any serious physical harm at this point, so it's OK to point out that this story has the full Local Area Man checklist covered. To recap quickly:
A stun gun is involved
There's a bet over a football game
This took place at "Dan's King Pin bowling center"
The couple is living in a truck because they are (literally) a couple of truckers
The man allegedly wouldn't let his woman and his dog in the truck after his team lost a football game
They were smoking cigs in an alley when this happened
His blood alcohol content: .137
Her blood alcohol content: .155
A stun gun is involved
That just about covers everything unless I'm missing something about a handlebar mustache.
H/T For the Win -
So Ravens are the only NFL team with Male cheerleaders? They already employed ayenbandejo wouldn't be surprised if they signed Kerry Rhodes.

Tony Dorsett apparently shows warning signs of CTE in the brain (I believe Seau was affected by this..shot himself in the chest).
http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20131106-dallas-cowboys-legend-tony-dorsett-confirms-he-shows-signs-of-cte.eceUpdated: 06 November 2013 11:23 PM
Dallas Cowboys great Tony Dorsett confirmed Wednesday that he has been diagnosed with having signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative condition that scientists have linked to depression and dementia.
“It hit me like a ton of bricks,” said the Pro Football Hall of Fame running back, confirming an ESPN Outside the Lines report that he and two other former NFL players were diagnosed with CTE after three months of brain scans and clinical testing at UCLA.
“Not a good thing,” said Dorsett, 59. “I’m looking at ESPN, and it [the news] is rolling across the ticker tape.”
The other players diagnosed, according to Outside the Lines, were Hall of Fame offensive lineman Joe DeLamielleure and former All-Pro defensive lineman Leonard Marshall. Another unidentified player was tested, but his results are not yet available.
Dorsett said a UCLA researcher phoned him Monday in Dallas to give him the news. Last year, according to Outside the Lines, UCLA tested five other former players and founds signs of CTE.
That was the first time researchers had found signs of the disease in living former players. The disease is shown by a buildup of tau, an abnormal protein that strangles brain cells.
“Don’t ask me what tau protein is because I don’t know exactly what it all is,” Dorsett said. “All I know is that before, [doctors] could only be able to find tau if you die first and they open up your brains.”
Dorsett, who has battled memory loss and depression for several years, is among more than 4,500 former players who are plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against the NFL. Last month, plaintiff attorneys and the NFL announced they had reached a $765 million settlement, though it has not been finalized.
“It’s enlightening to know what I have, what I’m dealing with,” Dorsett said. “Now it’s time to find out, how can we can come back from it? I actually was told [by researchers] that it can be reversed. I was like, ‘What?’ They said, ‘Yeah, it can be reversed, slowed down, stopped.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, OK, so we need to get on out of here and get on that program immediately.”
CTE has no known cure, though according to the Outside the Lines report, researchers are hopeful that findings in Dorsett and others will lead to treatment. Dorsett said he already has been placed on a new nutrition and vitamin regimen.
“But I’m not being inactive. I’m being proactive. I’m trying to cut it off at the pass, slow it down, do whatever I can to fight this thing. But it’s tough, man, it’s frustrating as hell at times.”
Dorsett’s 15-minute phone interview with The News was punctuated by long silences as he stopped in mid-sentence, searching for his train of thought.
Dorsett won the 1976 Heisman Trophy at the University of Pittsburgh and rushed for 12,739 yards during 12 NFL seasons, but nowadays he often can’t remember routes to places he’d driven for years.
“I knew something was going on. It takes me back to the fact that we [as players] were treated [after head injuries] and still put back out there in harm’s way, when from my understanding management knew what they were doing to us.
“They were still subjecting us to that kind of physical abuse without the proper treatment. It really hurts. My quality of life [long pause] deteriorates a little bit just about every day.
“But I’m determined to beat this.”
Isn't the old Bears QB McMahon showing signs as well? I thought I saw that character on TV like last year. -
-
Prayers go out to Tony Dorsett. He is really a good dude and I hate to see the man go out like this.
-
Leonard Marshall is showing signs of CTE too.
