Congratulations Indianapolis Colts on the dumbest play in NFL history

At first it did look stupid but I kinda get what they were trying to achieve. They were trying to fool NE into thinking their ST were running off the field and the offense was about to come back on. If successful, they could have snapped the ball while NE had more than 12 players on the field drawing a penalty. Still very risky.... and damn hilarious

How the frag did Da Bears let the Lions beat them !!!

Gonna be a loooong season

Lions aren't as bad as their record suggests. They should have won against the Seahawks if the ref called a penalty as he should have at the end of the game. I'm annoyed that it gave them an extra W because now they're tied with us in the division Bring on tomorrow and Thursday night football

Watching Baltimore's season has been very, very painful

Hopefully Denver's season continues as is so I have something to cheer for come playoffs.

Come on man, of all the people here you gotta be the one least surprised by the move because you actually know the game. This was always coming.

From what I have heard, there are BIG changes a comin'

We got you guys next. We'll make you look like 'The Greatest Show on Turf' ver 2.0

Oh I could see it coming. I was just making fun of Fox Sports as they reported it as breaking news.

I don't know how the game will go. Foles is a very rocks or diamonds player. It is a shame as the rest of the team is starting to build into something worthwhile. Although as I type this I'm watching the 49ers v Seahawks and if the 49ers don't improve their tackling, young Gurley will have a fun time.

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayne plane to touchdown in Sydney with San Francisco 49ers in $10m deal

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!! I honestly don't know what to do with myself after reading this news. Seeing a 9ers game live has been top of my bucket list for over 20 years. The only opportunity I ever had was the same year mum got sick and passed away so OS travel wasn't really an option.

Oh man, now I have to decide which of my 12 jerseys I'm gonna wear on the day (and no, I don't have or will buy a no. 38 jersey).

Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne close to signing Detroit Lions deal, but still wanted in San Francisco

Oh god...

Well, you know what, I would love for that to happen if it increases the chances of the 49ers coming out here for a preseason game. We haven't had one since 1999 when Jim Harbaugh (ex-49ers Head Coach) was the QB for the Chargers and Pat Summerall (the BEST commentator in all of sports EVER - RIP) graced our fine shores. Oh, and who could forget Shannon 'Want Some Whine With That Cheese' Sharpe

I should go out and buy a lottery ticket! I'm on a roll baby

While I'm not going to say "I told you so" to anyone, my concern is what this means for televised games on 7mate for the remainder of the season and the preseason game that was announced for Oz next year (although not 100% officially confirmed). There's still a chance he clears waivers and comes back on the practice squad. We'll know in the next 48 hrs. I would be genuinely surprised if he gets picked up by another team before then. If he does, it would be purely be a marketing move to get all the Aussie fans on board because he's just too inexperienced to make any difference almost half way into the season.

I'm still in mourning....

Very proud of the Wallabies though. Whilst they were bested by a far superior side, with 15 to go they had their fans daring to dream. Well done to the ABs.
