Your “Let’s Just Agree to Disagree” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• ESPN says ankle sprain, but OBJ & the Giants are getting an MRI just to be sure.
  • And just to pour on the salt, PFT questions whether OBJ should have held out, to avoid the preseason bumps & bruises…and given them copy to talk about his petulance.

• Cam Newton is expected to start this Thursday.
  • Likely, he gets a quarter, since they don’t want to push it, since the first two games have proven they’ve got nothing else.

• Chuck Pagano – DEAD MAN WALKING!
  • “Scotty didn’t play bad. It takes 11 guys hitting on all cylinders offensively, defensively and special teams. So Scotty did not play bad.”
  • And with no timeline for Andrew Luck’s return, it’s pretty much too late in the process to consider bringing in someone like Colin Kaepernick at this point.

• Hue Jackson will end the nation’s speculation & announce the Browns starter possibly as early as Wednesday.
  • It’s either Brock Ostweiler or Cody Kessler.
  • DeShone Kizer will likely be groomed for a late-season takeover.

Finally, it appears Rex has a crush on someone with quick feet & likes crab legs. Tonight’s “Hard Knocks” has the first meeting between two guys who have said many, many things that have had them called into account.
