Around the NFL Week 5

What an interesting week this has been in the NFL.

Indianapolis Colts' coach, Chuck Pagano, was diagnosed with leukemia this week. It is definitely heartbreaking but with optimism, I think he'll beat this. We all know that I am definitely no way a fan of the Colts, however, this past Sunday I was rooting for the boys in blue to pull out a win against the Packers for Pagano. Sure enough, they did. It was well deserved. Reggie Wayne was a badass game. He managed to have a career-high and performed the game winning touchdown with only 35 seconds left all while having severe cramps. What a player do deal with the pain to pull out a win for the coach. Totally respectable.

Washington Redskins' rookie quarterback, Robert Griffin III suffered a concussion Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. This put him out of the rest of the game and this also put his fantasy points suck. He managed to get me ONE point. One. Boo to that. According to family members, RG is doing better and he could be good to go Sunday. Fingers crossed.

Kevin Faulk is expected to announce his retirement Tuesday after thirteen seasons with New England. Faulk was with the Patriots for his entire career. Sad to see him go but glad to have him retire having only played for the New England Patriots! Thank you for all your hardwork through the years!! Proud to be a Patriots fan!!

Wes Welker apparently made a joke during a press conference referring to his catching off 13 passes as "sticking it to Bill's face." Today he claims that him and Belichick have a great relationship but I guess we'll see in the long run how Bill takes Welker's little joke.

Minnesota Vikings' safety Harrison Smith is in the news. Sunday during the game against the Tennessee Titans, Smith made contact with an official. He, of course, is probably going to avoid serious punishment. He got lucky and will not be fined or suspended. Lucky him.

A Chicago Bears' fan was stabbed to death in Jacksonville. The man apparently traveled to Jacksonville to watch the game. The incident happened inside Fionn MacCools restaurant where his throat was slit. Who the fuck does this type of shit? The man who slit this innocent man's throat was seen leaving the establishment calmly after placing the bloody knife in his pocket. What the fuck. Seriously this story just absolutely baffles me. I honestly have no idea what to say to this. This story actually leaves me speechless. My condolences go out to the victim's family. How horrible.
