Yeah, I feel so bad for the guy. I have an irrational soft spot for the guy, hope the Saints give him another shot next year.

My brother picked Bell first overall... luckily someone else dropped Conner right after the draft so he picked him up.Me too
I have a hard time blaming Leveon for how he's handled the situation. He's got a short time to make as much money as possible and risking injury without a hefty guarantee would not be my choice. Just look what happened to Earl Thomas and Dez Bryant this year.

Yeah part of me doesn't really blame him for trying, but to be honest it's properly backfired on him now given how little they've actually missed him in the end.

Exactly why I hated the Ezekiel Elliott pick for the Cowboys, RBs are so replaceable and you can find them everywhere.
I can see some team with crazy cap money like the Jets going for Leveon but if I were a GM I'd have a really hard time giving a RB a second contract.

The thing that's annoyed fans and his teammates is how Bell's behaved. He told ESPN back in October that "sitting out the entire season was never an option". He went on Twitter to let everyone know he was going to be ready for week 1. He wouldn't speak to Tomlin unless it was through his agent. He's not even returning calls and texts from his teammates. Bell's unwillingness to settle is entirely fair (as is Pittsburgh's unwillingness to meet his demands) but if he had been honest with the fans and his teammates from the start I doubt he would be getting as much criticism as he currently is. I've said it before, Bell's an exceptional talent but an absolute wankpuffin.

I think thats fair, I was just more thinking of the financial side of the deal.

Massive game tonight for the NFC North, Seahawks Vs Green Bay. Green Bay lose or tie tonight and they would then have to "run the table" in order to stand a chance.
To be honest looking at the fixtures they have left, they are more than capable, the next two are huge for them, seahawks and vikings back to back.
We take on Vikings at the weekend, we win that, I would say we are on course for 10 wins.

You could say that about a lot of pro athletes in most sports.In fairness that applies to the majority of NFL players to be honest

Agreed. NFL players do seem to be a special blend of arrogance and stupidity though I reckon
Ok it took me a day to figure out why the fuck you thanking me - I get it now haha
Man ive only just got my head around half the rules of NFL and now im expected to understand NFL banter? dude gonna take me a while longer haha
Last year was the first year I followed NFL and chose the fucking Seahawks who were bloody dull last season but this season the run game is pretty good. I appear to have started to follow the Seahawks AFTER their successes - just my luck

Haha I did wonder whether you would know or not!
Hey I started supporting the Chicago Bears just after we won our division in 2010....since then its all been awful. But things are heading in the right direction again.
Tomorrows game against Vikings is a big big game for us.

Is it really that great? It's like the Americans who say soccer would be better with bigger goals so every game ends 8-7.
Yes its that great. Alot of offense, yes. But 3 defensive tds that could have been 4. Highly entertaining. 2 great teams. Cant ask for more. Best NFL game in a while, IMO.

Plus the ‘All Star’ ref squad absolutely did their best to ruin the game.
How did they not call holding on that Goff td run? How did they not call Peters for picking Mahomes up by the face mask but then they called Hill for doing the peace sign.
The refs were an absolute joke.
Amazing game though, I thought the Chiefs were the better team but threw it away in classic Tottenham fashion.
