Wow... It's getting a bit soap opera-ish in Patriot Nation, huh?

Yeah, not something we're used to. Of course the media is having a field day, they finally got a bone thrown their way. Like I said these past few years the Pats never disclose anything, so the media haven't had 'anything' to talk about.

You'd think they'd still be busy digging up dirt on Tiger: They're all fat and stupid on that feeding frenzy. :bleh:

Cardinals commit seven (!) turnovers and lose to the Niners, 24-9, failing to clinch the NFC West.

The Chargers are looking good for once. They'll probably clinch their division, maybe make it to the playoffs.

Go Bolts! :woot:

They're a lock for the playoffs unless some key player gets hurt.

And most of the pundits agree that they're the most dangerous team to face in the playoffs.

Where have I heard that before. :headscratch: Oh, that's right, 2006, when the Chargers were the #1 seed, they lost to some team didn't they. :victory:

Was it 2006?

Anyways, yeah, the Chargers have disappointed in the playoffs... But they do seem to have the Colts' number the last two years. :sweat:

Bengals' Henry dies at 26
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry has died, one day after suffering serious injuries upon falling out of the back of a pickup truck in what authorities describe as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.
Police say Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday. Henry was 26.

Away from the team because of a broken forearm, Henry was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after being found on a residential road. Police say a dispute began at a home about a half-mile away, and Henry jumped into the bed of the truck as his fiancee was driving away from the residence.

Police said at some point when she was driving, Henry "came out of the back of the vehicle." They wouldn't identify the woman, and no charges were immediately filed.

"Detectives continue to work diligently on this active investigation," police said in a statement Thursday announcing Henry's death.

Henry is engaged to Loleini Tonga, and the couple has been raising three children. Tonga's MySpace page identifies herself as "Mrs. C. Henry" and has a picture of her next to a person who appears to be Henry. She also has a post from Tuesday talking about buying wedding rings.

Neighbor Karen Clanton said the Tonga family lives in the house where the police say the incident began, adding that she didn't witness it and that "they're nice folks."

There were tire tracks on the front lawn Wednesday.

Henry broke his left forearm Nov. 8 during a win over Baltimore. He had surgery and was placed on season-ending injured reserve following the game. Charlotte is home to Tonga's parents.

The Bengals (9-4), in the midst of their best season since winning 11 games in 2005, lead the AFC North and play host to the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
