They're empty because all teams are still yet to cull their lists from 80 to 60 to 53.

Re: New NFL.com
On the old NFL.com you could still look at the charts during the off season. They even updated when transactions were completed. Maybe being a bit anal but like to study the charts well before the season starts. Other than that looks ok

How great is this new NFL.com
No longer do I need austar or perhaps even sopcast
I just caught up with all the preseason games via the video highlights... every game... 2 minutes plus for each... and i'm sure the regular season coverage will be 5 times as good
Now just got to hope they dont start charging for it.

Re: New NFL.com
Come out, come out wherever you are...
There's obviously a raving Indy (err, I mean Manning) fan trapped inside that Cowboy's fan, desperately trying to get out.
Think Dr Frankenstein: "It's alive! It's ALIVE!"
You've finally crossed that line where you start buying another team's merchandise. Gradually seeing more Colts purchases and less Cowboys.
After a thunderous 41-10 victory, let's see how their performances thru the year affect how much or less you spend on them. If the Colts don't win another Superbowl for 20 years...

Re: New NFL.com
Buy your girlfriend a Manning ladies jersey, to be worn as a nightie, that way you can really let her know what you think of him!
Doggie style of course, so you can see the name plate.

The thought had already crossed my mind - but to show my true Dallas colours... she wears my old Deion Sanders shirt.

Re: New NFL.com
Deion wouldnt do it anymore. Always gotta find new toys, new thrills, new ways, etc. And we're talking Manning here. You wouldn't leave her alone for about 20 weeks in the year! Eventually she'll twig onto your shameful ruse, and wear it off-season as well. Your butt always finds its way to the edge of the seat whenever Manning is mentioned, so this is like some long-term man-crush.
Or, left hand, right hand thing. Deion and Peyton.

Re: New NFL.com
Just checking out the NFL site proper this morning to see the results from overnight, and the site just blew me away. Was able to dial up highlights from the Broncos game just hours after it finished, and detailed analysis soon after that.
I dream of the day the AFL puts together a site with sortable videos and the type of functionality nfl.com now has.

Ordered some stuff from NFLshop Midnight our time Friday night.... it hit Australia today and should hit my door-step Thursday morning.
That is unbelievable!!
$180 worth of stuff... about $40 freight. I'm happy with that, will definately buy again.

I hope NFL.com irons out the problem with gamecentre. To say it was flakey for Sunday's games is an understatement. It couldn't even keep up with the two Monday Night Football games.

Good NFL websites
I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where we could list certain sites that we use to find out what's happening in the NFL. (Especially with ESPN and the like making you pay money to view a lot of the content.)
Personally, I use www.realgmfootball.com
It focuses more on the administrative side of the game and most of its stories are from newspapers that you wouldn't read on other sites. The titles say it all most of the time do you don't even have to read the article if you are just after a few stories.
What other sites (besides ESPN and the NFL one) do you use?

Good all round for US sports but NFL section with Dr Z Paul Zimmerman and Peter King is tops. PFW as redragger mentioned is another good one.CBS and USA Today also.

I also prescribe to redragger's nomination.
I use to hone into www.gridiron grumblings on a weekly basis but they flicked the switch to look after subscribers so I thought, no loss for me.. adios muchachos

If not bias towards the Pats, they are the best week by week statistical analyzers, using (IMO) good stats to judge offence, defence... Plus they have the best analysing of the Offensive line and Defensive line I have seen anywhere...

http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/2_1135_Def._Hog_Index.html
Bendability, scorability etc...
They have an okay small forum, if not overrun by Pats (But hey, which site isn't these days?)
And they created the Cult of Dan
It is the sole provider of the '32 Teams in 32 Days' thread
Plus it agrees most with what QB's I think are the true greats
Great site IMO
