This photo does nothing to disprove the theory that every picture of Jay Cutler looks better if you photoshop in a cigarette.

But, damn, when a team so obviously quits by week 6, I don't know how the owner/FO can just do nothing for the next 12 weeks.

And I don't know the cap implications, but there has to be some contending team that would benefit from Kamara, right? I'd love the Saints to trade him for a mid round pick.

He's too good to be wasting one of his last two or three years on this team.

The Browns are moving to a dome in the burbs? So much for that aura of frozen that Cleveland had going for it. That sucks.

I just heard someone on the radio talking about this. Consensus is that Doug Peterson is going to get fired when the Jags get back from London, regardless of whether they beat the Pats or not on Sunday. And Dennis Allen is getting fired at the end of the season, but there really is no reason to fire him now. A new coach isn't going to magically heal all the injured players.

They have a long way to go before this could happen. Cleveland could fight it. And if the Browns want a lot of public money, it's a hard case to make that putting a $2.4 billion domed mini-city in the middle of nowhere next to a mid-sized airport is going to bring in convention money. They'd get the obligatory Super Bowl, but perhaps reluctantly.

Jim: have you ever run numbers or seen numbers on whether injuries are consistent among teams over the long to medium term? Or are there some teams/training staffs that seem to consistently be better at keeping players healthy?
