@eighteen : Yep, I was there. I'm a lifelong fan and season ticket holder. I went to the first ever Saints game, I think I was 12 years old. Just got home, my ears are still ringing. No one sits except time-outs. For sure some fans get visible livid st the refs, even when the call is correct, so you can imagine the reactions when the call is questionable.

But I did not know until today that a Texans player (Stills) did not stand for the anthem.

@Enzo : I found out today as well. Curious what action will be taken, if any. Duane Brown got traded to the Seahawks the same day he protested, but unclear if there were other issues surrounding his exit. New generation in the big office, maybe they already knew he'd be protesting in this fashion.

NFL week 2 starts Thursday night.
Here are the winners:Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers - Panthers
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans - Titans
Los Angeles Chargers at Detroit Lions - Lions

New Orleans Saints at Los Angeles Rams - Saints
Chicago Bears at Denver Broncos - Da Bears
Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons - Falcons
Cleveland Browns at New York Jets - Jetsmaybe we should also have a lottery - how many times will Watson get sacked? I guess 4 times.

and p.s. - I picked correctly 11 times in week 1, 3 games incorrectly, or 4 if you count the stupid tie between Lions and Cardinals.

I thought the doo doo Browns would've done better with a hotshot QB and OBJ. I was really wrong there. I think 8 of my picks won including the tie.

Week 2 Picks:Panthers
Ravens
Bengals
Chargers
Vikings
TEXANS
Pats
Bills
Seahawks
Colts
Washington
Oakland
Denver
Rams
Philly
Jets

@eighteen : including the tie? you count that as a win?

@Enzo : Well, it's not a loss.

@EddyFree : I like you pick in the Saints-Rams game......

@Enzo :Easily the best game of the day to watch IMO...I'm sure the Saints will be using last year's playoffs defensive pass interference "no-call" that probably kept them out of the SB as motivation....I expect them to have those game faces going and be out for some sweet revenge....

@Enzo : What was Deshaun's final number? I only caught one sack.
