3 Things I Know: NFL Week 8

And just like that the NFL season is already half way over, well half way over if you're a loser franchise who won't make the play offs. For Pats Nation its only like a fourth of the way over or something like that. Math. ON TO WHAT I KNOW:

1. Someone grab a pulse check on Jamie Collins for me, Suicide Alert ALL TIME HIGH. The big news coming outta the league, and especially Foxborough, today was my man Jamie Collins was shipped off to football Purgatory aka The Dawg Pound aka Believeland aka The Cleveland Browns. I mean talk about a real first to worst turn around. Legit going from the greatest sports franchise of all time to literally the worst sports franchise of all time. That's not even an exaggeration that's actually scientifically accurate, ask Co Host Andy. But if we're gonna be honest with each other I HATE this move. Hate hate hate it. Jamie Collins was a stud. Just an absolute freak athlete who could do everything on D from rushing the passer, to blocking field goals, to even dropping back in coverage to cover WIDE RECEIVERS. Dude played D Line in college and covers NFL Wide Outs! Just an absolute physical specimen who his former coach/GM Bill Belichick (is that how you spell it, never really learned that one, that's on me) once called "the greatest athlete I've ever seen come out of the draft". Gonezo. Yes I know everyone immediately points the finger at cap space. A. I've said it once and I'll say it again if you bring cap space or salaries in a sports argument to me you are a nerdy dork and your opinion becomes irrelevant. 2. I thought the whole reason we traded Chandler Jones was to free up cap space for Collins, Butler, and Hightower? 3. WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING IN RETURN! We got a 3rd round pick that pretty much disappears if Collins doesn't re-sign with the Browns, which is ultimately not gonna happen. I don't get why we didn't just keep him for the year and let him walk if we weren't getting anything for him anyway. Bizarro move for sure. Oh yeah and all this comes on the heels of Bill saying the defense has been a disappointment this year so far. Thinking face emoji thinking face emoji thinking face emoji.

Also, Jamie's bout to get PAID this offseason, Von Miller numbers. Suicide Watch back down to average.

2. The NFL rigged this week's London game to make them tie, more appealing to soccer fans. This one's pretty obvious, the Brits love soccer, soccer loves kissing your sister. The NFL wants to build their #Brand in Europe, what better way to do that than tie sporting events. A real 'when in Rome' moment by the NFL. At a point in time where Goodell seems to be doing nothing right, he pulls this genius move outta no where. Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go out and pull a stunt like this... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF! Just all all time savvy move by commish. And about ties in football, I don't get why everyone hates them I am ALL about ties in the NFL. The LOL factor is outta this world and if 2 "NFL" franchises can't score one single point in 15 minutes of play neither team deserves to win. All in on ties.

3. I am officially OUT on my former boy and favorite player Cam Newton. Dude shut up. You guys STINK this year! The Panthers are a joke! What happened River Boat Ron??? What happened to that unbelievable defense? Definitely didn't need Josh Norman though. The Cats are sitting pretty at 2-5 and last in that uber talented NFC South division. Looks like that 14-0 start last year and having the easiest schedule in the league last year had a little more correlation than people thought. And the worst part of it all is how much they complain! All the Panthers have done this year is piss and moan about the refs and the fans and the other teams. Have just a smidge of accountability for me will ya! I stood by Cam through think and thin since his Auburn days, telling all the nay sayers to go long he just loves to have fun. But his latest quote "It's really taking the fun out of the game for me, I don't even feel safe anymore" Dude grow the hell up. This is the NFL son if you don't wanna get hit go play tennis. How bout instead of complaining to the refs you take it up with your Swiss cheese offensive line, SuperCam. I mean talk about a PAC 12 quote if I've ever heard one, it's hard to believe Cam once played in the SEC.

Also, for Pete's sake Cam, will you take those damn hats off. There's no way he actually looks in the mirror and is like yep, this looks great.

Also, also what's good with his font / the way he types on the Gram? It looks like hieroglyphics (btw nailed hieroglyphics on the 2nd try, nbd)

SEE EVERYONE FOR WEEK 9
