1st offense is typically a fine and license suspension/restriction. I dont know anyone who has gotten a DUI/DWI for the 1st time without an accident and had to do any kind of jail time. Also dont know anyone who was fired or suspended by their employer for it.

Headed to watch my man Stafford destroy my trash ass Lions on sunday. It's a rite of passage as a Lions fan to be present for this beatdown.

Ima get my paper bag ready.

[TiMSport]

What I'd give to see the Lions shock the Rams. I hate the Rams, including the tiny headed Aaron Donald!

[lakefront]

This is the season for Stafford to show just how good a QB he is. Been buried on a terrible team for way too long.

[F30lolz]

Trade Mahomes!

[TiMSport]

Titans taking the Chiefs behind the wood shed! Mahomes had like 49 yards passing in the first half. After 3 quarters he has an INT and a lost fumble. Maybe people can stop talking about the Chiefs now.

[TiMSport]

Looks like the Chiefs aren't the only ones taking a beating. Ravens getting smoked by the Bengals.

[EDWYER]

Tua my fantasy team thanks you!!! (w/ Dak on bye)

It looks like the star of the game is Kyle Pitts, he seems to have put things together.

[lakefront]

Bengals.....41 points against Ravens D? WOW.

[F30lolz]

All this talk from NFL ‘experts’ saying Deshaun Watson would be a Dolphin this past week though Tua didn’t play too bad today. Still, Dolphin fans want him gone.

Colts gotta win this game to keep pace in the meager AFC South. Wentz can look great one game and play like Jeff George the next.

Everybody has known how good he is, but he wasn't getting the media attention that goes along with it because of the sorry sack of shit of an organization he got stuck with for 12 seasons.

Went to SoFi today expecting my Lions to get pummeled. They actually played a decent game but were fighting Goof's poor QB play all day.

On a side note, great looking stadium, but as a result it has the highest prices in the league. It's stuck in the hood, there is no bar hopping that can be done pre/post-game like in some other cities, and no public transportation. You are completely car-dependent so will pay $80+ accordingly for parking and sit in traffic as a result.

Jared Goff showed exactly why the Rams got rid of his sorry ass. He chokes, period.

I was debating about going to the Raiders @ Giants 11/07 as the tickets aren’t too bad but the parking exceeds the ticket prices. If the Giants were a decent team I wouldn’t mind going but I’m sorry, not going to spend my money on mediocrity.

Other teams with suburban stadiums and no local merchants within walkable distance solve this problem with strong tailgating scenes in their parking lots. In Orchard Park, the Bills Mafia have hundreds of BBQ grills burning, adult beverages flowing, and tables being smashed before every home game. There is also a smaller post-game tailgate scene, while people finish off their pre-game BBQ while waiting for the exiting traffic to lighten up. There's also dedicated RV party parking lots.

I'm pretty sure that Jets/Giants fans have a similar ritual in The Meadowlands, although probably nowhere as wild as it is in Orchard Park.....

I reached in the nick of time but I recall seeing "no tailgating" signs. The parking lot looked spotless so I doubt much tailgating happened. Plus the stadium is in the hood, so outside the confines of where SoFi is built, the area is not conducive to tailgating. I understand why Kronke picked a suburban stadium: cheap land in that area plus downtown LA is simply impossible. That 10/101/110 interchange is a traffic nightmare all times of day; imagine throwing the traffic of an NFL gameday into the mix.

I've lived a lot of my life before this in Seattle and Detroit. Their stadiums are in the downtown area and within walking distance of a lot of bars and restaurants. The gameday atmosphere in those places is a lot more electric. And in Seattle the fans are way more into the game. In LA people just want to chill and take photos.

Where do you guys think DeShawn Watson will land?

I say Carolina.

Must suck to be a Jets fan right now. Ouch.

I went to the game fully expecting the Pats to get smoked.

Giants of all teams held them to a lousy 3 points which may intensify them to make a move now rather than the offseason. Sam Darnold is just not a good starting QB but they’re still commanding a kings ransom for Watson. I’m sure the Panthers/Miami are asking the league about any pending/future ramifications against Watson but still, no charges.

I blame the coaching staff as these players aren’t prepared. Zach Wilson will go through three coaches during his rookie contract.

I’m starting to think we could all be rich by betting for every team that plays the Jets that they’ll cover the spread.
