Thoughts From the NFL Week 5
Week five in the NFL is nearly in the books and were continuing to see offenses explode. Or is it defenses break down? Either way it's exciting football. If this is an aftereffect of the lockout and the missed practice time, it would not surprise me to see the NFL look into ways to take away...
