    I think the Falcons are not as good as their record indicates. I'd go with the NFC North.

    For those who don't watch the College game, here's a guy to watch for in the 2014 draft.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=W26Dcns1Mxg

    Why 2014? Despite being considered the most talented player in College Football and a sure pick for the number 1 pick in this year's draft, Clowney, at 6'6" and 256 lbs, is still only 19 years old, has not been in College for three seasons, and is therefore not eligible. This kid is a * monster, and some NFL scouts think he'll be one of the top 2-3 linemen in the league his rookie season.

    People are saying he's the best player in college football right now. It would be nice to see a lineman win the Heisman.

    Not surprised to see Andy Reid getting sacked, it's been a long time coming.

    Who is everybody picking to get through the play-offs and win the super bowl? I'm backing Denver.

    I take it Lewis has some sort of persistent injury. Still seemed in decent condition this season.

    Dude was acquitted and has changed his life. But as a a ravens fan it will be odd without him playing.

    Was he actually acquitted?

    If memory serves, they didn't have enough evidence against him, so they made a plea agreement with him on other charges and that he would testify against others who they did have more evidence against.

    I really don't remember to be fair. I was young at the time and didn't pay attention to what players did off the field

    That's what wikipedia says (I know it's a load of * 99 percent of the time).

    Still a legend in the football sense though, shame has last game will be Tom Brady running him all over Foxborough :icon_mrgreen:

    Truly gutted that Ray Lewis has decided to retire. He is such an inspiring figure and he is also my favourite player in the NFL. Watching the Ravens just won't be quite the same without #52 on the field.

    I guess retirement comes to even the greats, it just makes our lives that bit smaller when it does.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do in the future Ray. You're a great man, a great football player and it's been my pleasure to watch you in action.
