More than the Steelers?

Because I know I loathe the Pats even more than the Flyers. Most despised team in all of sports besides the Jamaican track team. They are too fast.

It appears Arizona is dangling Boldin out there again to see what they might be able to get prior to the draft

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4071716

I didnt know what Boldin's contract was exactly before I read this article, but I find it pretty bad that he's got 2 years left on his contract and is making over $5.5 mill/yr on his current contract and is bitching (and was bitching last year around this time). I would guess when he signed that in 2005, that put him in the bottom half of the Top 10 or barely outside of it, which is what he should be played. He's not elite of the elite, and he benefits from Fitz and vice versa, but he should be paid around the 10th best WR in the league. He certainly aint getting $10 mill per.

There are situations where players deserve restructured contracts or extensions (see James Harrison), but with the money he's making, he isnt one of them. He should just shut up and play and revisit this again next year.

I don't hate the Steelers. I hate the fact that the Steelers won two recent SB's and the Eagles haven't. I like the Steelers' style of play. I wish the Eagles played smash mouth football.

This surprises me less than Irvin getting busted after he retired. Jimmy couldnt even keep his nose clean on gameday probably.

Was that short lived show on ESPN?

Yeah. They definitely wouldve had another season, it was popular, but the NFL told ESPN that if they had another season, they would ban ESPN from airing NFL games.

Obviously, ESPN caved.

Its worth watching

Tony Gonzalez went to the Falcons today. They mean business over there. I wonder if they'll have another season like last year.

I cant believe they traded him for only a 2nd rounder, and not even a 2nd rounder for 2009 :D

corey · Apr 23, 2009, 10:46 PM

Yeah, that's kinda crazy...but it was a great deal for the Falcons. I've never been a Falcons fan, but it's gonna be interesting to see how they do this year.

AMightyCaporal · Apr 24, 2009, 09:34 AM

i was just coming over to post about that trade

how did the chiefs agree to that deal? I think they needed TG for matt cassell to get accustomed to the new team- have some targets to throw to. Oh well- hope the falcons continue to do well

corey · Apr 25, 2009, 09:48 AM

It's Draft Day! I've gotta work until 5 or so, so my brother is gonna text the updates to me.

Here's hoping that the Titans get a receiver that can catch the ball. :)

Leontheslut · Apr 25, 2009, 12:44 PM

Boldin to the Eagles today, book it!

3rd, (next years) 2nd, and Winston Justice

A second rounder is good value. How many more years do you think Gonzo has? I would say two tops. The chiefs aren't doing shit anyway, they might as well build.

I would say he has at least 3 good years left, and probably more.

He was the best TE in the NFL last year, and he was ON THE CHIEFS!! :D

I dont think a 2nd is terrible value, but if youre rebuilding like they say they are, how can they substantiate this deal when the pick isnt even for this year's draft?! It doesnt make sense

Boldin, if he gets moved, will have a 1st round pick involved - or a player better than Winston Justice

This is 1 weird draft
