Hey dudes, thanks for having me in the league. I'll be managing the Lebowski Urban Achievers. Some Chinaman took my legs in Korea, but I'll go out and achieve anyway.

[KinskiRage]

That was fast. Lebowski Urban Achievers are in. Already winning with a Dude-related name like that.

 

I've randomised the schedule order now rather than play the games in the exact order of last season, which was the default.

[RedKnight]

That team belongs to Chris.

Wonder if Brees and Goodell will be having a get together

[Lee909]

I hoping Willie Roaf sucker punches Goddell on stage.Either that or the Dome Patrol come out of nowhere and knocks him into the third row.

 

 

Looking forward to seeing the battle to replace Meachem.Arrington,Morgan,Roby and Toon all need to make the step up.

Colston,Moore and Henderson will make it the others need to fight out for game time.

[Lee909]

Did anyone watch the game last night?

Kolb out early with what looks like a damaged rib.

[KinskiRage]

Hopefully Skelton wins that job, Kolb is shite. Anyone who can't get Larry Fitz the ball doesn't deserve to be a starter.

[Lee909]

Terrell Owens is back,agreed one year deal with the Seahawks.

 

What year is this?

Chad Johnson,Randy Moss,Terrell Owens,feels like 2004

The Hard Knocks series is fucking awesome (sahme so few are available online to stream). It does highlight one thing though, the NFL is fucking cold.

In the new Hard Knocks one about Miami, Chad Johnson says in the episode "I'm going to get arrested" in a joking tone to the coaches. Guess what, he has just been arrested on domestic violence charge.

[Lee909]

Got there just before i did

If true what a cunt,headbutting a woman.

 

 

 

It appears Chad Johnson might have gotten himself into trouble before ever having an opportunity to help his new team, the Miami Dolphins.

 

 

 

Update on August 11 at 11:03 p.m. EDT

 

The Dolphins have released a statement in regard to the arrest of Johnson for domestic abuse, according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com.

 

“We are aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering all the relevant information,” team spokesman Harvey Greene told PFT via email.

 

Nothing special there. The Dolphins will wisely await all the facts of the case to come out before they make any move. Stay tuned, Dolphins fans!

 

-----End of Update-----

 

 

 

Izzy Gould and Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel are reporting that according to Davie Police Department captain Dale Engle, Johnson was arrested for domestic abuse on Saturday.

 

Per the same report, the incident took place in a vehicle and involved Johnson and his new wife, Evelyn Lozada. Johnson allegedly head-butted Lozada during an argument.

 

Here's more specifics from the Sun Sentinel report.

 

When cops came on the scene Lazado, a star in VH1’s Basketball Wive’s Reality series, had lacerations on her forehead, and Johnson was arrested. Since entering the NFL in 2001 Johnson, a Miami native who lives in Davie, had never been arrested. But he was arrested in college for a domestic dispute.

 

Ben Volin of The Palm Beach Post (via Twitter), lets us in on just what caused the argument.

The Dolphins signed Johnson during the offseason in order to bolster their receiving squad and give aid to whatever quarterback they choose as the starter. The exit of Brandon Marshall made Johnson's presence on the team even more vital.

 

While there were questions regarding who Miami's quarterback might be, they didn't think they'd be worrying about their newest receiver; this incident will change all that.

 

Johnson's off-the-field issues are just the latest in a slew of problems NFL players have gotten themselves into this offseason.

 

It's still too early to know if Johnson will be disciplined when all the facts are known, but Johnson might have just added yet another case for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to deal with.

I set it up for 8 players but will change t depending on numbers.

If we dont get enough from here if anyone knows anyone else who may be interested let me know.

Runs a similar to the main league on here but witha bigger squad of players and covers multiple seasons rather than a new draft every year.

Defences are not picked by choosing a teams defence but individual players instead.

I'm in!
