One Fan That Wishes He Would Have Stayed Home....

This weekend in the NFL was filled will wild moments.  The Steelers come back to win big against a Lions team that was up by 23 points in the 3rd quarter.  The Bangles put up 31 points in the second quarter against the Browns.  The Panthers get a big win against Tom Brady and the Patriats with a contraversial call on the last play, but what may be the most wild and bazzar moment of this weekend took place at the Bills/Jets game, in the 300 level of the stadium.  A drunk fan on his way to the bathroom, thought it would be a good idea to slide down the railing of the stadium steps, with no protection and nothing to stop him from falling 45 feet to the next level, which is exactly what he did.  To make matters worse, the only thing that broke this mans fall, was a fan sitting in the 200 level, who was trying to enjoy the game.  Both fans were seriously injured and were sent to the hospital.  This brings up a question that has been debated for a long time.  Is it better to watch a game live, or at home.  Well of course it is safer, espicually if your a fan at an away game.  You dont have fans throwing beer and food at you, trying to fight you, and in some cases like this one falling from the sky.  There are other factors as well such as prices.  You get a better view of the game from your couch,  the weather is never bad in you living room, you wouldnt have to pay $12 for a hotdog and soda.  But as a fan, almost all of that seems worth it just to see your team get the W in person.  But when it starts raining men, thats when I draw the line.  What do you think?

Dolphins Richie Incognito under investigation

The Dolphins snap there four game loosing streak this past weekend with a big win over the Bangles in overtime.  The celebration was cuz short however when reports about Dolphins left guard Richie Incognito was virbally abusing former right tackle Johnathan Martin.  It was said that hazing was the cause of this, and that it was taken two far for second year player Martin.  Incognito used threats and racial slurs towards Martin, leaving voicemails and text messages.  As a result, the second years offensive tackle left the team for the remainder of the season. The reports released sunday and the Dolphans quickly acted by suspended Incognito indefintly.  Maybe players were asked about the events at Mondays practice.  The responces were mixed, many speaking out for incognito.  WR Mike Wallace spoke to the media, supporting Incognito, wishing he was at practice.  It seems like many players believe that this was just hazing that might have been taken a little to far.  That their is no need for punishment.  If that was the case, then why is a second year player still being hazed, why has it not stopped, and why did it not stop when it was clear that it was affecting Martin?
