So he should be. Disgraceful conduct by all the management at Penn State.

Completely forgot there was a game on tonight - bit of an added bonus!

Aye and here's me just about to nod off, wonder if I can make it until the end?

Could do with Rivers and Jackson having a repeat performance of last week(without the INT's)

Oh yeah

Not really many good games for Thursday night though this season. But when the new TV deal is done didn't the new CBA say weekly TNF to be sold to the highest bidder (probably be someone like ABC/TNT)

1] That non-PI call is a terrible rule
2] McNeill just forgot what day it is

The rule kind of makes sense really. If you're on the returning team and you're running down the field, you might have no idea that they're going to pass the ball, so why should you be penalised for blocking someone when as far as you're concerned it's a punt?

Love the non TD call though. Cracking rule.

Palmer with a good showing last night. The Chargers are just an average overhyped team.

Norv Turner will be sacked at the end of the year though so at least the Charger fans will be happy!

Thought the Chargers were pretty diabolical last night even when you consider they had a few injuries in the offensive line.

Watched it a few times and I think what Jackson on the Rivers INT in the endzone was disgusting. Didn't even look at the flight of the ball and just seemed to give up. Disgraceful - great player but he should be punished for that.

The Raiders Defense surprised me last night and their 3rd down conversion rate was strong, but both teams are turnover machines and won't make a mark on the playoffs.
