Can you listen on the radio? Is there still Westward One? I have not listened to sports on the radio for a while.

 

Saleh said it was an ankle injury

Must of been on the regular coverage. Lol.

[NFLfan]

Stefon!

 

My Vikings username on the Vikings site still has "Diggs" in it. Lol. I don't like change.

 

Rodgers is OUT for the rest of the game. Yikes!

That’s rough. He’ll take some vitamins and be on Pat’s show tomorrow I’m guessing. Was he walking on his own? Or did he need help?

 

He was limping.

He took a cart to the tunnel, limped in and got on a different cart.

If he’s already out rest of the game, then it can’t be good. Yeesh. 

[Dunk]

My dislike for both of these teams has eased over the years since they are no longer division rivals.

Still don't care for the Pats or Fish though.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Both these defenses are so good.

They really make Monday night a little more enjoyable.

 

Often times the regular broadcast just bores me too much 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like Rodgers’s has a sprained ankle. X-rays were negative but he won’t return.

Well isn't this a big fat hoot! I take a nap and wake up and no Rodgers. This game is over already. Wilson sucks! 

[w87r]

John McEnroe is soo bumbed out.(big Jets fan)

 

They are showing all kinds of clips from McEnroe.

 

JV football team

Slamming rackets

Kicking FGs

 

 

Just showed a Jets fan giving Wilson the bird after throwing an INT.

 

Peyton was like "look Eli, that looks like you"

 

Eli said "I use 2 hands".

 

 

Something to that effect.

[RollerColt]

Wilson is showing he’s learned nothing from Rodgers.

I did not add ESPN 2 to my a la carte package of channels. I don't watch much TV. I do have ESPN and NFL Network and some other channels that I watch.

I have both ESPN and ESPN 2 with the new company I went with. It is safe to have ESPN 2 because sometimes anything you might want to see, will be on ESPN 2 instead. Peyton and Eli are on ESPN 2.

[NFLfan]

If Rodgers is out for the year, I wonder if we could interest the Jets in taking Kirk Cousins. Maybe we can then draft a QB in next year's draft.  @VikingsFanInChennai

I have not watched ESPN 2 in a few years. I used to watch shows there in the past. A lot of college sports are shown on ESPN 2.  With all the realignment, college sports don't interest me anymore. I will still root for Stanford football but I'm not looking for their games on TV anymore. I don't even know what conference they will be in next year.

 

Not good news for Jets fans. I feel bad for them.

Jets on the phone with Carson Wentz.....yikes

[w87r]

Wasn't promising talk by Schefter there.

 

 

Talking it could potentially be an Achilles? Speculation.  X rays were negative, but that wouldn't show that

Yeah a lot of college football games are on ESPN 2 as well. Same with college basketball so I just got it. I have the main sports channels that I need, ESPN 1 and ESPN 2, NFL Network, MLB Network - that is baseball 24/7, NBA Channel, Cubs channel, Pacers channel, and of course CBS, FOX, NBC, and ABC.

[Gramz]

Earlier this evening I said to my husband Aaron is either going to have a stellar game or Flop.

 

I never expected him to not even make it through the first series tho....

[2006Coltsbestever]

There is ol' Peyton talking. He is always full of energy  . Rodgers may have an Achilles issue, if so, that is bad obviously. 

[NFLfan]

Another look at the play that caused the injury:

[2006Coltsbestever]

Peyton and Eli look like they could still play  , those guys don't age. That was a nice pass by Wilson.

Mine either 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Jets still have 2 good RB's and a decent D, you never know. 

[NFLfan]

The Jets also drafted Geno Smith in addition to the 3 first round draft picks (Sanchez, Darnold and Wilson). Geno was a high second rounder, almost a first rounder.

 

Ooh. I like Breece!!

That couple of extra steps he took while turning to face the field when getting sacked.... ended up in this.

 

Jets won't have money to take Kirk anytime soon. They should wait for Rodgers to heal, if it takes next year .

 

Until then, Wilson gets a chance. Maybe, they could get Colt McCoy, or Minshew

 

They could trade for Trey Lance though.. that'd be fun.. they can give a 3rd round draft pick, and pay Lance in his rookie deal.

 

We can call him then "Trey'd" Lance

[2006Coltsbestever]

Peyton called that play, He said they were going to run it. 1st down Jets. They need 7 here.

I bet Greenberg shut the lights out, put a blanket over his head, and went to sleep. Go from Aaron to Wilson

Looks like Rodgers might have torn his Achilles. Yikes. He will retire if that’s the case.

He is on ESPN every morning at 8am. He has a show called getup. He is like me, always doing lists  . He is around my age.

Rich Eisen is probably crying hysterically into his wine.

If he doesn't work out, he will be then "Trey'dud" Lance.

 

If Cowboys won't give Lance, Jets can get Cooper Rush, he'd do better than Wilson for sure 

[w87r]

Eli and Peyton asking if Jets are calling Tom Brady tonight. Lol.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Tom Brady to the Jets
