I disagree. It's all dependent on the situation.
The Patriots or Giants or Steelers or Packers can bring in a few asshats because they have established a winning culture with strong locker room leaders... whereas with some other teams, the Jets are prime examples, bringing in scumbags and selfish players leads to a complete breakdown of team chemistry.
Having a strong locker room and a culture of accountability keeps the shitbags in check.

yep. i remember in the mid 90's when the Packers had Reggie White. if there were any clowns or bad folks, they shut up in a real hurry because Reggie was the leader of the locker room.
it's all about that positive culture.

Don't do it Tuna! You should get into the HOF next year. Plus, you don't wanna be "that guy".

hey, this has nothing to do with your post, but i just wanted to point out that 5 of the 8 away games for the Packers this year are in domes. you know how much Rodgers loves playing in domes.

It does have me a bit worried about the team going soft come December/January.

The Super Bowl is indoors, it's all good.

can't believe the Cowboys were chosen to take on the Giants on opening night. imo, they missed a great opportunity to have the Packers come in and seek revenge. maybe the NFL just wants to ensure that the streak of reigning Super Bowl champs winning the opener remains safe.
this must mean that they have some other prime time game for the Packers for Sunday or Monday night.....maybe the 49'ers, Bears, or Saints.

top ten NBC sunday night football games by overnight ratings...
1. 1/02/12, Cowboys-Giants 17.1/27
2. 9/11/11, Cowboys-Jets 16.9/27
T3. 9/20/09, Giants-Cowboys 16.5/27
T3. 12/12/10, Eagles-Cowboys 16.5/25
5. 9/12/10, Cowboys-Redskins 16.4/26
6. 12/11/11, Giants-Cowboys 16.1/25
considering the giants-cowboys season finale had higher ratings than the packers-saints season opener... yea... hardly surprising that the league went with dallas. only thing that should be surprising is that nobody really brought it up beforehand, as it seems fairly obvious.

not surprising that it beat out the Saints-Packers considering that they are both small market teams. i think Giants-Packers would have had no problem shattering ratings considering the Packers' wide fan base across the country. i'd say the Saints brought the ratings down last year.

the cowboys have by far the biggest TV fan base... combine that with the natural rivalry with the giants, and the new york market, and the super bowl celebration, and that everyone watches the first game no matter who's in it... and yea. it's a no brainer.
the NFL is about TV ratings now... this matchup is the biggest potential ratings draw.

New rules: OT will be the same in the regular season as in the playoffs.
Also, all turnovers will be reviewed, the same as scoring plays. No coach's challenge required.

i don't like the turnover challenge rule... so what can they still challenge, just if it's a catch or not? forward progress, which never works?
giving coaches challenges added a human element to instant replay... they're slowly stripping it away

49ers signed Brandon Jacobs. I guess if you can't beat 'em, sign 'em!
Shannon, I take it you liked him?

very love/hate relationship with jacobs...
he tends to take large chunks of the season off... but he did bring it when it mattered most. plus he told rex ryan to "shut the fuck up, fat boy"... so there's that.

Brandon Jacobs has the worst shaped head i've ever seen. him leaving the Giants may help me like them a little more though.

As a Bills fan, I'm looking forward to the upcoming season. With the additions of Mario Williams and Mark Anderson, we have a bona fide pass rush for the first time since the 90s.
