RT @ESPN Stats & Info Elias: Orioles can win 70th game tonight. In last 30 yrs, only Pirates (6) and Rays (6) had longer streak of winning fewer than 70 games.

oh boy.  the Steelers are pretty thin at outside linebacker (Harrison's backup, Jason Worilds, is never healthy and is on the preseason PUP list).

RT @AP_NFL Dolphins WR Chad Johnson arrested, accused of head-butting new wife in dispute over condom receipt http://t.co/p2Jqbp81 #nfl

It's like an onion headline...

I thought football players never get arrested once training camp starts?

RT @Scott Brown RT @NotBillWalton: Chad Johnson was arrested for domestic battery. Which obviously means Roger Goodell will fine James Harrison $50,000.

It's silly that everyone is freaking out about the NFL replacement refs.  After all, it's not like games were called perfectly before 2012.

Does anyone remember the San Francisco pass interference controversy?  The Steelers Thanksgiving day coin toss?  The Troy Polamalu phantom fumble? The Calvin Johnson touchdown?  The Ed Hochuli apology?

These were all bad calls made by the normal referees, not mistakes by their replacements... and we survived.

Moreover, the NFL has a very good instant replay system in place (unlike baseball) to correct the important calls.

For example, every touchdown is reviewed; this began in 2011.  Plus, every controversial play is automatically reviewed after the 2-minute warning in each half.

The point is moot.

I saw this too, he stopped an hour early.  I think Leftwich got the most snaps tonight, with mixed results.

RT @Ed Bouchette Willie Colon just punched Cam Heyward in the helmet. Hard. You can break your hand that way. Havent seen 1 of those in awhile. #steelers

Willie Colon is completely pissed off during this year's camp...for some reason.  This is his second reported fight.
