That was in the 2007 game. The player bitten was Jerraud Powers, now a cornerback with the Indianapolis Colts.

Why do they need dogs that close to the sidelines? You would think it would be dangerous to the dogs, but I guess it is also dangerous to the players.

Thanks for the correction. I will never believe what I read on the Internet again.
The ref was pretty nonchalant about that dog bite.

Just days after using his interview to satisfy the Rooney Rule, the Cowboys are dumping coach Ray Sherman.
Sheesh. The NFL should fine Jones for making a mockery of the rule.

"The contract of Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha has been voided after Asomugha played fewer snaps in 2010 than he did in 2009 (thanks to injury). The Raiders are unable to designate him their franchise or transition player as per the terms of the deal, making Asomugha an unrestricted free agent."
I hope someone has an enormous novelty cheque ready.
Despite being a Dolphins fan, I think the Jets should make a play for him. Revis + Asomugha would be hilarious.

Maybe Ray Sherman had an awful interview.
The league ought to ensure that teams take the rule seriously, or they should just get rid of the rule

The stadium fans in Seattle caused a seismic tremor during Marshawn Lynch's epic run last Saturday.

That'll teach'em to expect fairness and equality in hiring. As Randy Newman said:
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
We're keeping the nxxxxxs down.

Former CFL and AFL star Chester (Cookie) Gilchrist dies at 75 "I was a big guy for that era," CFL legend Angelo (King Kong) Mosca said in a telephone interview. "But I'll tell you one thing, when he came through that line it was like a train coming through."

Everyone always wants to talk about Seattles 12th man, the fans. That could not be more true then when they played the Steelers in the Super Bowl in Detroit. I think i saw 12 people in Seattle gear that entire day.

Ooooh that's harsh.
So, Seattle's had their one and only home game. It will be interesting to see how many Seahawks fans make the trip to Chicago.

What a week the Hoser just had. He should get a 900 number and advise people.
On anything they want to discuss.
My wife just ordered something online. I think it was either vacation getaway lingerie or another bulky sweater.
Hoser, which one was it? I need to know.
