Isolated thunderstorms are possible in the evening hours through the beginning of the weekend, but the majority of the Panhandle will stay dry until Sunday. Monsoonal moisture currently settled over New Mexico will shift east through the next few days, bringing isolated thunderstorms for the end of the weekend. Rain chances are looking even more promising Monday and Tuesday as a weak cold front blows through, also bringing a quick burst of fall-like temperatures. 50 Caprock is likely best known for hosting the Texas State Bison Herd. (Photo courtesy of the Caprock Canyons State Park Service) Retired volunteers receive service awards By Alex Mann (806) 273-5611 As numerous volunteer organizations and noprofits across the Texas Panhandle continue towards their individual goals, the constant need for experienced volunteers can be a difficult problem for many groups to deal with. This issue has inspired one organization to gather a massive pool of volunteers for the very purpose of supplying local nonprofits with experienced, eager volunteers. The Retired and Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) recently hosted an awards ceremony in the First United Methodist Church Garden Room to honor the men and women who choose to volunteer their time, labor, and wisdom. It s a recognition banquet for the volunteers in Borger, says Gloria Goyne with the RSVP volunteer office, We have about 1500 volunteers who work through us, not for us. We re a nonprofit organization. That s across Perryton, Pampa, Wellington, Borger, Hereford, Amarillo, and Clarendon. For those who may not have heard of RSVP, the organization is not only a value for nonprofits, it offers opportunities for those seeking new fulfillment in retirement. It s a great organization, because it gets people out who aren t ready to just sit at home. Gloria says, It utilizes a lot of the potential that they have, and a lot of the experience that they have as volunteers. A lot of nonprofits can t afford to hire staff, so it s a win-win for the volunteers and the nonprofits. She continues, We have 40 years across the area... It s been going strong. Because we re federal and state granted it sometimes gets a little iffy, but so far so good. As for the awards ceremony itself, RSVP volunteers were individually recognized for their years of service. See Volunteer Awards pg. 2 Start your new subscription today!

The board listened readily to Martin s comments and tasked City Manager Eddie Edwards with investigating possible solutions for the problem. Overall the board supported the efforts of Martin to come up with solutions to improve the park for local kids and visitors.

Before those matters were heard, Charlotte Martin, local resident addressed the board concerning Huber Park. Martin, who stated that she lives near, and frequently walks in the park, was concerned with the upkeep of the park following weekend activities throughout the summer. Following the weekend s use she said, our park is trashed, just trashed...the trashcans are overflowing. I don t believe in walking past a piece of trash without picking it up, she said, but the trashcans are all full. Martin is primarily concerned for the kids in Borger. I think our kids should see a clean park, our kids are important and they deserve a clean park.

While most offer camping, hiking, and stunning scenery, each park is unique in itself, and the landmarks, rangers, programs, and events can vary greatly between the different regions of Texas. Apart from its own unique scenery, recreation, water-sports, and landscape, Caprock Canyons State Park is proud to claim the exclusive honor of hosting the state s official herd of high plains bison. The bison have been released to the whole park, they re out and about, says Dawson Enlow of the Caprock Park Service, We ve got a lot of campers, and the lake is up. We ve got swimming areas open, the boat dock is open too... people have been doing a lot of fishing. The hiking is good, and the weather has been fantastic. While the landscape itself of Caprock might be preserved in its original state, one aspect of the park is still growing, and changing. We do have some young bison, some calves coming up. Dawson says, They re the newest part of the herd. After a staggering amount of bison were killed off during the development of the western frontier, an idea to preserve the animals and land was put forward just in time. The park actually started with Mary and Charles Goodnight. Dawson explains, Back in the 1800 s, they collected six calves, and these bison are actually full blooded bison; there s no mixture of cow or anything else in them. They re the original southern bison herd, and now they re the official State Bison Herd. We have about 125 bison right now, including the new calves. The herd s growing. With the long weekend approaching, Dawson challenged his fellow Texas get out and explore the great state that inspires such pride in its residents.

2 Borger News-Herald Obituaries Diane Dee Chisum Diane (Dee) Chisum entered the pearly gates peacefully on the morning of September 1, 2015. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 pm on Thursday, September 3 at Wesley United Methodist Church. Interment will follow at Highland Park Cemetery under the direction of Minton Chatwell Funeral Directors of Borger. She was born Mary Lois Diane Heitgers on November 29, 1943 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Charles and Gladys Heitgers. She met the love of her life, Cecil Ray Chisum on the other end of a switchboard while they were both serving in the military. They married on May 24, 1966 in Montgomery, Alabama only 3 days after meeting face-to-face. Theirs was a union that would last until his final breath on August 12, 2007. Oh what a glorious reunion they ve had now. Our parents were not perfect, but I can tell you that not a single day went by that we ever doubted their love for one another. That my friends, is rare. It s a true gift and a blessing they left upon our hearts. Dee was a vibrant, spunky woman with many talents and interests. Though born and raised a Yankee, she was truly a Texan. She was a social butterfly who loved the company of others. She worked at the Borger Kmart for many years and also sold Tupperware, Home Interiors and Avon. She loved collecting things, including but not limited to, Indians, Elvis, John Wayne, crosses, and Coca Cola. She loved the Dallas Cowboys and called Jason Witten her boy. She was patriotic and very proud to serve her country in the United States Army. She was also proud of her Native American and German heritage. She spent a lot of time researching her genealogy. She was very involved in her children s lives. She worked as homeroom mothers at school and also spent years as a Brownie/Girl Scout and Boy Scout leader. She loved animals and her dogs were four-legged children born of another mother. Her last furry companions were Blondie and Sassy Jane. As sweet and kind as she could be, she was also quite the spit-fire, very funny and in later years could be a bit of a pill. Mrs. Chisum was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Everett and Tom, and infant twin daughters, Terrie and Jerrie. Survivors include one daughter, Tammy Pfeiffer and son-in-law Fred and their children Ekaterina, Alex, and Ian of Loveland, Co.; son, Chris Chisum and daughterin-law Kelley and their children Bailey, Natalie and Nicole of Borger; son, Tim Chisum and his children Dustin, Starla, Aspen and Trevor. Dee was not a person you will ever forget if you had the privilege of knowing her. Her time here was too short for our liking, but the timing was perfect in our Father s will. She missed our Daddy terribly and was ready to go home. She was a woman of faith who knew her Lord and Savior and is now sitting with him at his table and walking with him on streets of gold.

Nothing brought more joy to her life than being around people, especially her family.

Services entrusted to Brown Funeral Directors. Caprock Canyons Continued from page 1 Texas has so much to offer. Dawson says, I come from New Mexico, and as I came to Texas, it was just so big, and there was so much to offer; fishing, hiking, water kayaking, water sports, Caprock has bison, and each of the state parks offers different activities. There s so much going on in Texas that people really need to get out and explore. They need to get out and learn about Texas, and these state parks are the perfect place to do that in a safe environment... People live in Texas, but they need to experience it. Whether visitors are eager to set up camp on the waterfront, or seclude themselves in nature, Dawson explains that Caprock is ready to accommodate. We have camping by the lake if people want to be there, we have camping by the red rock canyon and the cliff areas, which are beautiful. We have primitive camping where you hike two miles, camp, and then explore other trails. It s such a variety, there are sites for people who want to stay close to people, and there are sites for people who really want to be separate and get out into nature. While nature lovers and enthusiasts are always welcome, Dawson was especially eager to encourage families and kids to get out and explore the wonders of nature. Bring the family, nothing is better to bring a family together. He says, Get them out of the house, and have them experience something different People remember these things, the bison, the views, the park, and the beauty the Good Lord made. These parks are an incredible way to spend your Labor Day. The family is so important, and doing something together as a family is good for everyone. It s so special for kids that I can t even put it into words. When I was a kid, that s what I remembered. I remembered going out and camping, hiking, and looking at the bison, elk, and enjoying the outdoors. With the weekend quickly approaching, it would be simple enough to write off a last minute camping trip as impossible, but Dawson urges families not to let excuses get in the way of lifelong memories and experiences. He says, These days you can get so busy and caught up with work... but this is really a way to get out of the box and experience a special moment that might spark a sense of adventure. A lot of people have never experienced it, but once they have, they keep coming back. City Council Continued from page 1 Taxes to remain steady City Manager Eddie Edwards then addressed the board concerning the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget. Overall the city finances are in better shape than they have been in the past and goals are currently being met. Of special interest to citizens is the Ad Valorem Tax Rate. Although there was no citizen input concerning taxes at the meeting, Edwards detailed the goal of not raising property taxes, and was pleased to tell the board that this year no increase will be required. The Proposed Tax rate is $0.86 per $100. That is the same amount as the previous year s tax rate. At this rate, an individual with a home valued at $50,000 can expect to pay the same $430 in City Ad Valorem taxes as in the 2014 tax year. The council voted in favor of this budget introduction including the tax measures. The next opportunity for the public to speak regarding the matter will be September 8 at 1:30 p.m. Volunteer Awards Continued from page 1 Gloria says, I think the volunteers have a lot of pride when they re awarded for the pins they get at 5, 10 15, 20, 25, 30, some even have 35 years volunteering. She continues, They delight in it, and some of them, if they don t get their 5 year pins, will come after ya! They all deserve it as far as I m concerned, but you ve got to make sure they re awarded for their right years. While nonprofits across the Texas Panhandle continue to seek the volunteers of RSVP for their decades of experience, Gloria insists the volunteers true value comes from hearts eager to serve, and a love for their communities. I ve been in RSVP for 17 years, and I love it. Gloria concludes, I ve met some incredible volunteers, some people who are just wonderful.

The PlemonsStinnet-Phillips CISD met Monday night, August 31, for their regular board meeting and now routine construction update from Western Builders and PBK Sports. Essentially we re on schedule, said Superintendent Bill Wiggins. Right now, we ve got seats being installed, we re hoping to have it open by October 27. These final stages of the project are some of the most exciting but timelines are tight. Last year, we were handed the keys to the football stadium at 5 o clock and played our first game at seven. It was really down to the wire. The project seems to be moving along at a steady pace but Wiggins has learned from the past two years of construction that it s important to be flexible and ready to roll with the punches. Those challenges are common when it comes to construction projects. This past year Veterans Memorial High School in Corpus Christi, and Tom O Connor, Jr. Athletic Center in Victoria, both found their construction projects delayed following heavy unexpected rains. In the past two years, I ve seen all kinds of things, said Wiggins, explaining that while spirits are high, it s important for the community to remain supportive if any unforeseen challenges present themselves. Overall though, the project is nearing completion. It s really coming together, and starting to look like something. Wiggins said. In addition to the construction update, the board welcomed the new district employees and heard about the first days of school. We re off to a great school year, Wiggins said, it was a really good first week of school. The Plemons-Stinnet-Phillips CISD will meet again September 21, the meeting is open to the public.

Main The Color of Things by Daris Howard Daris HowarD Guest Columnist My friend, Nathan, is an electrician at the university where I work. He has put in long hours lately because the campus is finishing a new natural gas heating facility to replace the old coal-fired one. It is huge, and the equipment inside will heat every building on campus with heat to spare. To use the surplus heat, turbines were installed that would generate enough electricity for most of the campus. It is new and innovative, but it also required a new electrical grid, new wiring, and new lines all over campus. That is where my friend came into the picture. Being an electrician, he was responsible for a lot of the new wiring. Since it was more than he could handle alone, ads were posted for two students, skilled in that area, to work under his direction. Two young men were hired, and Nathan parceled out work to each of them according to their abilities. As they showed they knew what they were doing, he gave them more and more responsibilities. As the project was winding to a close after months of hard work, they had to replace one last underground wire to the final building. Nathan took his equipment and went to the area they needed to lay the electric cable. He located where the old wire was and used red spray paint to mark a line above it on the grass. He then assigned the two young men to take the trencher, which looked like a giant, mobile chainsaw, and cut the trench. After an hour or so, the young men came back. We can t see the line you marked, the first one said. I m sure I marked it as well as possible, Nathan replied. Are you positive you are in the right place? The young men told him what lawn they were on, and it sounded right. However, Nathan decided he better check. They didn t need a trench cut across the wrong lawn. That had happened before, and the landscape person who had to replace the sprinklers was not happy. Nathan was just heading out with the two young men when an older electrician, who also worked there, stopped him. Let me go with them, he said. You have plenty to do. Nathan thanked him, and the older man left with the two young men. He returned after about fifteen minutes. Did you show them where I marked the line? Nathan asked The old man nodded. I went right to it. It was obvious. I showed them one of your marks and left them to it. A little while later, Nathan finished up the work he was doing and decided he better check to see how the trench was coming along. To his dismay, he found it had been cut across his well-marked line at a 90 degree angle, destroying much of a formerly beautiful lawn. Nathan stopped them. What the devil are you doing? You are supposed to follow the line I marked. The young man running the machine hung his head. I m sorry, Nathan. I couldn t see it so I just guessed where it was. Nathan took a deep breath to calm himself even as he spoke. What do you mean you couldn t see it? It s clearly marked. I m color blind, the young man said. Red and green look the same to me. The other young man gasped as he spoke to the first. You re color blind? So am I. Why didn t you tell me? Nathan asked. The young men just shrugged. Then Nathan thought of something else that made him shudder. These two color blind young men had been doing color coded wiring in the buildings all summer. Holmes Pharmacy 600 S.

Autumn marks a great time to clear away clutter Clutter is a concern for many homeowners. Clutter can gradually accumulate, and over time a home can turn from a welcoming respite to a claustrophobic place overwhelmed by items of little or no value. Homeowners who have battled clutter in the past often find that it is most likely to accumulate over the winter, when frigid temperatures outside drive more people indoors. Spending more time indoors means more trash indoors. Newspapers and magazines might be easy to discard when the weather is warm, but a trip outside to discard such items takes less precedence when it must be made in below freezing temperatures. The likelihood that even the cleanliest of homeowners might accumulate some clutter over the winter only highlights the importance of clearing a house of clutter in the fall. While clearing clutter can seem like an arduous task, the following tips can make the project much easier. * Clean one room or area at a time. A disorganized approach to getting organized is likely to waste time and may even prove fruitless. Work your way through your home or apartment one room at a time rather than jumping from room to room. Have boxes or crates designated for items you find that belong in other rooms, and place items in the appropriate boxes as you clean rather than returning items to the right room as you find them. Once you have finished a room, move on to the next one and try to finish a room on the same day you started. * Invest in a paper shredder. Old bills, bank statements, receipts, and other once-important papers have a way of accumulating on desks, in drawers and on counters. Such documents often do not need to be held onto, but men and women are hesitant to discard them because they contain personal information. A paper shredder is a great investment for homeowners and apartment dwellers alike and can be the safest way to discard documents with potentially sensitive information. It s also a friend to anyone attempting to clear clutter. Many shredders can shred multiple pages at a time, making them a quick and safe way to discard documents that have been littering a home long after they were useful. * Decide to donate some items. Many unused items lying around your house can likely be donated to a worthy cause, which can help motivate you to clean out your closet of all those extra sweaters and other items you no longer wear. Encourage fellow members of the household to donate as well, and set aside a few boxes for clothes that will be donated and those that will be discarded. Donated items need not be clothes, as many goodwill organizations accept appliances and other products as well. * Put seasonal items away. Storing seasonal items like patio furniture and swimsuits can help reduce the likelihood that clutter will build up in the months ahead. Pack items from your summer wardrobe together and store them in a suitcase in the back of your closet. This frees up room for your fall and winter clothing and helps you avoid overstuffed drawers.in addition to clothing, store seasonal furniture neatly in the back of your garage or storage shed, pulling out items like snow shovels or snow blowers you may need come the winter. * Tackle the hall closet. Hall closets are con- venient dropoff spots for items of all shapes, uses and sizes, as the hall closet is not necessarily opened each day and therefore men and women can simply ignore it as it gradually accumulates more and more random items. But hall closets can be valuable storage spaces when used appropriately. Designate a significant amount of time to tackle hallway closets in your home so you can thoroughly reduce the clutter within them and get back to using the closets as the valuable, organized storage units they re intended to be. Discuss having different purposes for each closet, such as one devoted to cleaning items, another to coats, and so on. Resolve to keep the floors in each closet clear of items, as clutter tends to be on the floor and then work its way upward, eventually encompassing the entire closet. Once the hallway closets have been cleared, work hard to keep them clean as autumn turns into winter.

(AP) DeSean Jackson said he can relate to what Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is going through. After Griffin lost the starting job on Monday, Jackson compared it to his leaving the Eagles after the 2013 season. "It's just unfortunate he has to be in this situation like that," Jackson said on Tuesday. "But this is the game we're in, this is the league we're in, this is the NFL. Nothing's for certain. I had to learn that for myself a couple years ago." Coach Jay Gruden announced that Kirk Cousins will be the team's starter after Cousins performed well in Saturday's preseason game. Griffin was unavailable for the game via the league's concussion protocol. While empathizing with Griffin, Jackson said it "means a lot" for the firstteam offense just to know who will be under center. He also expects to be ready to play with Cousins on Week 1 after dealing with a sprained right shoulder this preseason. In the interim, Colt McCoy will play the entire final preseason game Thursday against Jacksonville. Cousins will be the backup in case of injury, Gruden said. "Unfortunately, we 7 Redskins Jackson can relate to what RG3 is going through BEREA, Ohio (AP) Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has dealt with a sore right arm since before he lifted the Heisman Trophy. Manziel, who hasn't thrown a pass in practice since Aug. 23 because of elbow soreness and tendinitis, said those issues date back to his freshman year at Texas A&M when he made a dazzling play almost every game for the Aggies. The 22-year-old is confident that rest will help his elbow and the issue won't derail his NFL career. "I'm really not concerned about it at all," he said following Tuesday's practice. However, he and the Browns were alarmed enough to seek second opinions, and they reached out to famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews to make sure they were taking the correct course of action. The Browns believe treatment and rest should alleviate the soreness, and Manziel said he has been told surgery isn't necessary. "No, this is an injury, that from everything I've heard, no matter what the case it wouldn't require that (surgery)," he said. "It's just sore, just a little bit of overthrowing and I'm making sure I'm icing and doing what I need to do." The Browns have limited him to just handing off during practice and they shut down Manziel from playing in the team's final two exhibitions. If he had been healthy, Manziel would have taken some didn't really have time to get a guy in here and teach him the playbook," Gruden said. Cousins completed 20 of 27 passes for 190 yards, a touchdown and an interception against Baltimore on Saturday. Griffin had completed 6 of 13 passes in two previous preseason games, and the Redskins said he sustained a concussion in the second against Detroit on Aug. 20. Griffin hasn't said how or even if the injury occurred, setting off speculation. Jackson also endured a frenzy when Philadelphia released him in March 2014 amid suggestions the move was connected to off-field issues. He had career-high 1,332 yards receiving in the 2013 season, and signed with the Redskins in April 2014. Jackson said Griffin will have an opportunity to bounce back. "The best advice I could tell him is just to keep his head high," Jackson said. "When he has an opportunity to play again, wherever it's going to be in this league, I definitely think he'll do what he needs to do to get it done." Jackson and other offensive players said the offense's principles of balance wouldn't change with Cousins, considered a more traditional pocket passer. Browns Manziel says sore elbow improving, no surgery needed snaps with Cleveland's starters against Tampa Bay and would have likely started this Thursday's game in Chicago. Not being able to get on the field has been frustrating. The injury has also slowed the positive momentum Manziel has built since the offseason. He has impressed the Browns with his commitment following a rough rookie year, which was followed by a 10-week stay at in a Pennsylvania rehab facility specializing in drug and alcohol addiction. "Yeah, it's tough," he said. "I wanted to be out there last week bad." Manziel feels he should be able to resume throwing next week and that the added rest will allow him to be ready for the Sep. 13 season opener against the New York Jets. Because he won't be throwing as much during the regular season as he did in training camp, Manziel doesn't think the soreness will "creep back" and be a problem. However, he also conceded the soreness may never "go away completely" and acknowledged dealing with some last year. "Your elbow will get sore just from being a quarterback and throwing, but that's not anything out of the ordinary," he said. Manziel said other teams were aware of his elbow issues in college before he was drafted with the No. 22 overall pick by Cleveland. As far as Manziel knows, other teams weren't scared off by his past.

Lady Plainsmen win three out of four at Brookhaven tournament IRVING, Texas (AP) The Cowboys have placed cornerback Orlando Scandrick on season-ending injured reserve following surgery for torn ligaments in his right knee amid moves to get down to 75 players. Offensive lineman Chaz Green and linebacker Mark Nzeocha, a pair of injured 2015 draft picks, will miss at least the first six weeks of the season after moving to reserved lists Tuesday. Green, a third-round pick, had offseason hip surgery. Nzeocha, a seventh-rounder, is recovering from a knee injury in college. The Cowboys waived three players with injury designations: defensive Kenneth Boatright (neck), assists, Karli Thornton had two, and Hunter Lenz and Johanna Mueller both chipped in one assist.

Dill, who faces a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Dallas also waived tight end Brandon Barden, linebacker Jonathan Brown and receivers Antwan Goodley and David Porter. IRVING, Texas (AP) Darren McFadden wants to be one of the replacements for NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray. If he is one of two, or even three, running backs trying to match the production Murray gave NFC East champion Dallas last season, that's fine, too. McFadden is used to it. "It's something I've done pretty much throughout my career, at school or being with the Raiders," said McFadden, the fourth overall pick out of Arkansas by Oakland in 2008. "It's one of those deals, it's the NFL, it's a long season." The Cowboys are familiar with McFadden's history, starting with owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones being fellow Razorbacks. Felix Jones McFadden's backfield mate in Arkansas went to Dallas 18 picks later at No. 22 in the first round seven years ago, and he spent five seasons with the Cowboys before Murray took the lead role. The Cowboys added McFadden as an affordable free agent in March, a day after Murray signed a big contract with division rival Philadelphia. Joseph Randle, Murray's backup for two seasons as a fifth-round pick, still appears to be the front-runner to start the opener Sept. 13 at home against the New York Giants. But McFadden made his biggest move yet last weekend, rushing for 37 yards on four carries in a 28-14 loss to Minnesota. "That's a glimpse of what I can do out there if I get a little room to run," said McFadden, who had seven mostly disappointing and injury-plagued seasons with the Raiders. "I feel like everybody got a chance to see that. It's something that I just want to keep building on." The Cowboys don't appear any closer to having settled on a primary back than a month ago when Borger News-Herald McFadden on board if Dallas replaces Murray by committee NEW YORK (AP) A New York judge has reiterated that he'll rule by Friday whether New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve a four-game suspension for "Deflategate." Judge Richard Berman issued a one-sentence order Tuesday saying he planned to rule by Friday whether the NFL properly followed its collective bargaining agreement with players when it suspended Brady for his role in using underinflated footballs in a playoff game. He said at a they reported to training camp in California. Jerry Jones isn't concerned because his primary consideration from the start of camp was health, and Dallas showed it by sitting McFadden for the first two weeks with a minor hamstring injury. "I'm not taking anything away from reps or honing your game or getting better," Jones said Tuesday on his radio show. "But basically what I am saying is we know a lot about what a lot of players can do." McFadden hinted at the plan for Thursday's preseason finale against Houston, and seemed to suggest he would be sitting along with Randle and Lance Dunbar, the third back in the equation. If so, the bulk of the work would go to the long shots to make the Dallas roster. And it would mean the top three have had all the work they will get in the preseason, which is fine by Randle. "We're ready to go," he said. Coach Jason Garrett said he believes all three got enough work, even though Randle missed some time with muscle tightness in his side and back and Dunbar was out almost two weeks with a sprained right ankle. "I think we have a pretty good feel for what each of those guys is and what we expect from them," Garrett said. "There has been good competition and I think they feel the competition to make the football team but also for roles on the team." Randle has 13 carries for 45 yards in the preseason to McFadden's 41 yards on seven rushes. Dunbar has just one carry. "They just gave us a little taste, just a little taste," Randle said. "It's still an opportunity to go out there and get better and to show what you can do." The next opportunity is likely when the carries count against the Giants. Judge: No Deflategate ruling yet, despite bogus tweet NEW YORK (AP) CBS will stream some regular-season NFL games online for the first time. The network said Tuesday that the Oct. 4 matchup in London between the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins will be streamed. That kicks off at 9:30 a.m. hearing Monday attended by Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that he hoped to rule Tuesday or Wednesday, but would decide by Friday for sure. His order Tuesday came out after an apparently new and bogus Twitter account with his photograph claimed he would rule by 4 p.m. Tuesday. The tweet did not come from his chambers. The NFL wants Brady's suspension upheld. The NFL Players Association wants it struck down. CBS to stream some regular season games Eastern time. The Thanksgiving afternoon game between Carolina and Dallas will also be streamed. The games will be available for free on laptops, desktops and tablets at CBSSports.com and on televisions through certain connected TV devices.
