The Colts have lost their undrafted rookie, Jordan Hemby, for the year to injury.
60 points for you Colts and Hemby owners.
I’m guessing he’ll have a shot to compete for a roster spot next year.

There are points flying all over the place today, including some related to the Giants/Steelers game that is currently still in the second period.
Let’s run them down:
The Redskins have put Mike Furry on IR, ending his season. He had a concussion issue. 60 points for you, and a year of working toward next year for him.
The Falcons have placed Kerry Meier, a rookie receiver, on IR. He had a knee injury, and will be back next year I’m sure. 60 points.
Shawn Nelson, who was suspended recently for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, has now publicly apologized for it,...

Okay, some from tips, some just because today is insane with NFL news… but here’s a whole mess of infractions and points for you to chew on:
-Terrell Owens published an open letter to the fans (calling himself Batman in the process) in the Cincinnati Enquirer. 20 points.
-Ndamukong Suh was in a car accident. He is unhurt and wasn’t at fault in the crash. 40 points.
-Rex Ryan teared up and got emotional in front of the press when asked about Tony Dungy’s critical remarks. 40 points. What an idiot. He can do and say all the stuff he does and says but when one...

The Bills’ tight end, Shawn Nelson, has been suspended 4 games by the league for violating the substance abuse policy.
There isn’t any indication what substance he abused, but I’m sure he’ll claim it was harmless, which is what they all seem to do when they’re suspended for substance abuse. “It wasn’t drugs, it was a supplement.”
Anyway, 45 points for you Bills and Nelson owners. He’ll return in week 5, I imagine. Hey, a shorter season is probably a blessing when you play for Buffalo.

Antonio Cromartie was embarrassed on the most recent episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks–the reality show that follows an NFL training camp. When asked to name his kids, Cromartie is shown stammering, pausing, scratching his head, and generally struggling to remember the names of his kids.
That might be because he has eight kids in five different states.
But he claims he got the names right on the first take, and the producers then asked him to do it again, but pause in between names. Even if I were wiling to believe that HBO would manipulate the show that way, why the hell would the player...
