Martavisavius?

that really put the sketch over the top, bringing in real players. Seemed like the bit was getting stale before that

Sucks for Martavis, and Steeler fans. He's one of the steals from the 2014 draft. Had he stayed his Senior year at Clemson, the guy would not have made it to the 4th round.

So he was busted for weed. Doesn't the NBA have more lax rules with weed use? If so, maybe it's time for the NFL to take a look at the NBA's policy.

Bradford looks so fucking good out there. He's gonna put up some insane numbers if he can stay healthy. Eagles are gonna be fun to watch.

What a clusterfuck in DC. I feel for ya, darth, bad owners are the worst in sports.

Sources: Redskins brass at odds over ending Robert Griffin III era

Dianna Russini and Adam Schefter

High-ranking Washington Redskins front office officials and coaches want to move on from quarterback Robert Griffin III, but are meeting resistance from team ownership, per team and league sources.

The Redskins even have had trade conversations about Griffin with a handful of NFL teams, per sources, but have found no interest and it remains unclear if ownership would allow Washington to trade him, per team and league sources.

But it is becoming increasingly apparent that Griffin has lost his starting quarterback job and, depending on the events and conversations in the coming days, possibly his roster spot. Outside of ownership, there has been a groundswell of support from a strong segment of football people within the organization to change quarterbacks, but there is a question about whether they have the authority to move on from Griffin.

Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan was hired this past offseason to build and rebuild the team, so he looms as a possible "X" factor in any big personnel decision that involves Griffin as teams trim their rosters from 90 to 53 players over the next week. McCloughan's ability to produce a resolution that all sides can live with now looms large.

One of the main issues now for the Redskins and other teams is Griffin's contract, which is guaranteed for $16.1 million in 2016 for injury only. When the Redskins announced they picked up the fifth-year option in Griffin's contract in April, many expected it to tie him to the franchise through 2016. Instead, it has had the opposite effect.

Washington knows that if it plays Griffin again -- and the NFL still has not cleared him to return from action from a recent concussion -- the Redskins cannot cut an injured player. In addition Washington risks him being hurt and having that $16.1 million for next season guaranteed. The same contract figure has helped scare off any teams that could potentially have any interest in trading for Griffin.

But even if ownership prevails and convinces other football people within the organization to keep Griffin, he is not expected to hold on to his starting quarterback job. The Redskins are determined to start a different quarterback than Griffin on opening day against the Miami Dolphins, and Griffin's time as the starter now appears over. The more significant question is whether his time in Washington also is.

Don't envy Rex Ryan's decision. It has to be Taylor or Manuel.

Do you really think they'll cut him before the season like the rumors are saying?

Bills cut Fred Jackson. Boy, he had a good long run at RB there.

RIP Fred.

Please pick this guy up, Cowboys. Honestly one of my favorite players in the league.

He'd actually be a pretty good fit in Dallas.
