Tidbits

This makes absolutely no sense to me. But why does each team have to de-activate a group of players for each game? Every one of the guys that is de-activated is still getting paid full salary.

With all the injury issues that occur, the rosters should be increased and all the players should be active in each game......For anyone that follows the NFL closely(and there are many out there), a great site to check out especially if you are a fantasy football player is NFL.com/transactions. This site keeps you updated on all the transactions that occur daily including players that are placed on IR(injured reserve). Interesting stuff......Being a #1 draft choice does not carry the clout that it used to. After a few seasons, teams are shuffling, releasing, and trading former #1 picks. For example, yesterday, the New England Patriots traded former #1 pick Laurence Maroney(21st selection in 2006 draft out of U. of Minnesota)to Denver for a 4th round selection in the 2011 draft.....To say the least, Terry Bradshaw is really outspoken concerning Big Ben. It is very interesting to hear what Bradshaw has to say but Big Ben is sitting around for 4 weeks not getting paid and serving his suspension. I suspect in the next few weeks, the press and the fans from Pittsburgh are going to hear comments from Terry Hanratty about Ben Roethlisberger.
