Around the NFL ~ Week 06

On Jacobs: If you have a potentially damning video nobody wants you to see....and they take legal action so that no one CAN see it....do we think its going to be of him helping an old lady across the street? The NFL is such a hypocritical entity. So why was he ever placed on the Exempt List to begin with then? And why was he then taken OFF the list? 🤔 And listening to Packers' fans rationalize him returning is always hilarious.

If the NFL wants to see the video to decide on a suspension, why aren't they keeping him on the CEL until they get it or it's permanently sealed? Seems odd they would put him on it and then take him off without announcing any type of suspension.

Yep, sure is odd. Something just isn't "adding up".

Sam Darnold has been pressured 55 times, contacted 33 times, and sacked 13 times in the last 12 days.

Well, they're tied with the Titans. Both teams won their last game on Dec. 21, 2025. Chargers defeated the Cowboys & Titans defeated the Chiefs.

Dolphins aren't far behind. Their last win was Dec. 28, 2025 against the Bucs.

We'll see this week if any of that changes.

Dolphins on BYE this week. Chargers play at Chiefs & Titans play at Colts.

That is funny! I am so happy we didn't sign Harbaugh. Didn't like him for the Vikings.

This move is now official. https://t.co/XZjezyBNXV
