Ok, so the panthers are really starting to piss me off. 0-2?!?!?! That's ridiculous!!! If they don't win their next game, I'm going to ride with San Diego for the rest of the season. Philip Rivers is doing AWESOME and, of course, L. T. is still holding it down.
What's everyone elses take so far?
I'm so impressed with my Vikings, but next week against the Bears is going to be quite the test. Thankfully it's at home.
hard to fucking tell with the colts. they've proven they can go all season and play well, then fuck up big time in the playoffs. i don't think they've really played great so far, just had the luck of playing inferior teams. time will tell, i s'pose...
The Titans coaching staff is pissing me off. If we are going to be losing anyway, then dammit, take Kerry Collins out of there and put in Vince Young so he can get the experience.
The Ravnes look awfully nasty, if Mcnair can stay healthly the will be a player in the end. That said I am a Bengals fan and thrilled to be 2-0, although we may have had a few key injuries today. Its Squelers week!
Go Steelers! Big monday night matchup comin up, don't miss. Two phyisical teams goin head to head.

DA BEARS!! Better watch out for these guys....looks like they finally found an offense to go with that killer D!

Saints fan since 1970 (6 years old). In fact, I remember Archie Manning's first game against the Rams (then Los Angeles) in 1971 and he ran it in on the last play of the game to win 24-20. We watched on TV but recorded the game on cassette (not video cassette,
audio cassette!!) and my brothers and neighbors and I would play the final drive on the cassette player and act it out. I don't think I ever got to be Archie, I was always a Ram.
Ahhhh, those were the days!

ARG!!!! What happened to them last night? Lowest scoring game EVER in monday night football? Steelers defense was lookin good, but their offense never put anything together.
What a disappointment.
Roethlesberger (sp?) was apparently running a fever yesterday before the game.
The post-game interview was kinda funny because he was telling the reporter that he felt good about seeing everything, but he just wasn't able to connect on some of the plays where he felt like he should have. He was being really positive about everything. Then she asked if he still had a fever and he replied, "I'm not feeling very well".... so I'm not completely convinced that he even knew where he was last night.
Its been all over ESPN radio today about Big Ben and his supposed not feeling well and him having 104 degree temperature. I think that is the worst excuse ever for a piss poor offensive performance. People need to give the Jags credit for holding a good Steelers ground game to 26 yrds rushing and the hell with Big Ben and his temperature. Also if he felt so bad why not start Batch?
QuoteAlso if he felt so bad why not start Batch?
That's what I was thinking. Also, him feeling bad doesn't have much to do with how the backs ran the ball. It doesn't take much to hand the ball to someone, even if you are sick.

Can't win 'em all. Ground game never got goin, and when it doesn't, we usually lose. Jags are a former division-rival, and always seem to give the Steelers problems.

How many Super Bowls has Cincinnatie won? I seemed to forget, please refresh my memory.
We gave that one away. We'll even it up next time in Cincinnati. Maybe we'll sack Palmer 10 times next game.

The Bengals haven't won any Super Bowls.
Havent won any Superbowls and I wasnt talking about Superbowls. Just talking bout the game yesterday and giving you a friendly ribbing. Also, to me it looks like the Steelers are awfully giving this year gave Jacksonville the game and gave Cincy the game yesterday. So when they give these games away is it the same as a loss or no? Maybe the Steelers have an extra column in the stats, Win-Loss-Tie-Gave Away is this correct?
The Bengals look pretty damn good so far. If you Palmer can manage to throw 2 INTs and still have a game like he did yesterday, I'd say they're in pretty good shape. I'm kinda rootin' for them this year.
I don't really have a favorite NFL team. I kind of float around as to who I enjoy watching. I tend to pick a couple of teams in the beginning of the year and watch them pretty closely. Oh, and I always catch myself rooting for the Bears, no matter how hard they might suck. But I think that all goes back to how cool I thought they were back in the '85 era with McMahon and Company.
WHO DAT?
Are you ready for some football??

Shittsburg looked less like Super Bowls winners and more like a team who should have lost in the first round had they not injured the star player of the other on the first play of the game. They overachieved last year and this year their down Randel El and the Bus. If the can stay healthy Cincy going to do this year what they should have done last year, win the whole damn thing! The steelers will be lucky to make the playoffs.
aMD glad we can agree on one football team. ;)

The fucking Giants messed up my Sport Select. If they would've put in an effort in the first half I would've been $460 richer this week.
Well, congrats to the Saints.
They looked in top form tonight.
Yeah, it was nice to see that happen. I saw most of the 2nd half. I also gotta root for them 'cause they got Roman Harper in the draft. :)
Damn the Madden curse. My brother told me in the off-season that Shaun Alexander would be injured this year. He then went on the explan the Madden curse to me. And I'll be damned if he isn't out indefinitely with an injury. Ain't that some shit?

I still think they can make the playoffs. . . maybe.
Oh just thought I'd say that who dey music video they made was the dumbest pile of shit i ever seen i was kinda embarassed for them. it was worse than the superbowl shuffle.
Its a long season yet so bengals fans dont counts your chickens before your eggs hatch. Bengals still gotta play steelers again and you better know they'll be playin some damn good football as the season goes on.
Quoteit was worse than the superbowl shuffle.
I don't think you wanna start pissing off Bears' fans now. Those '85 Bears had the balls to do a noational song saying they were going to win the SB. What did they do? by God, they went out and kicked everyeone's ass on the road to the title.
Maybe this years Bears should do the same thing.
I will say this, we may be seeing a Bears-Bengals Super Bowl come February.

Holy crap! The Philadelphia/Dallas game was kick ass! Thankfully the Eagles won!!! Poor TO made like 3 catches... :'(
You're all in trouble. The Bears are the best team in football by a long shot.
QuoteYou're all in trouble. The Bears are the best team in football by a long shot.
maybe as of right now, but later in the season their youngness will show some weaknesses. their defense is outstanding, but i think grossman is still too inexperienced to carry them all the way. we'll see, though.

They're drawing a lot of comparisons to the 1985 bears...but, why? I agree that they're awesome, and you can't argue with their undefeated record.
But I agree with Rats. Grossman is inexperienced and it'll show later in the season.
(would I say things to stir it up?)
As far as experience goes, this is Grossman's 4th year.
Didn't Rothliesberger do it his 2nd year?
So....
grossman has been hurt the majority of his career, so.....
and good ol' big ben is showing his true colours (i think) this year so far...
It may be his 4th year, but he had to miss a lot of time in his first three seasons cause of the injuries and what not. His stats are really impressive and he's a hell of a QB. But I think he's done so well because of his offensive line, and a little luck.
I mean, I'm not saying that he's bad or anything and I don't doubt that they will end up in the playoffs...I just can't see the Bears making it to the superbowl.
I might be eating my words later in the year though ::)
yeah i agree with Primushead. i'm not knocking grossman or anything. i wish him the best. i'd certainly rather see the bears go all the way instead of the seahawks. i just think inexperience usually catches up in the end, unless you're lucky as fuck like rothliesberger was last year, and we've seen what he's like when the luck wears off.
in the end, i think this season will be quite exciting, as no one team still has impressed me fully. both the colts and bears are undefeated, but they've mostly played shitty teams, so it's still too early to tell how they'll play quality opponents.
I'm a die heard Saints fan, but pulling for McNair and the Ravens closely. I'd really love to see Steve do well after he put his heart and soul into the Oilers/Titans and they let him go, plus he's a Mississippi guy.
Great season so far (unless you're a Raiders/Lions/Bucs/Titans/Fish/Browns fan)
I think Grossman is the real deal. Hes been in the system for 4 years, so hes not learning as he goes. He played for Steve Spurrier and nows about pressure and large expectations. Plus its not like he has any super star wide recievers, I dont really know if they even have a legitimate NFL #1 wide reciever. I see the Bears going 14-2 or 15-1. If they get home advantage through out the playoffs they ARE going to the SB. That said WHO DEY! ;)
I respect every single one of your opinions (am a die-hard Bears fan), but I do believe the Bears are far and away better than most every team in the NFC, with the possible exception of the Eagles at this point in the season.
The thing about Grossman is that he has been watching and learning this offense for 2 years now, so he really knows the system better than most people give him credit for. Will he make mistakes? yes, but he has the defense to pick it up for him if the o is off. the running game is going to be fine all year long with 2 if not 3 legitimate starters (Jones, Benson, & Peterson.) The receivers catch the ball when they need to (3 rd down), can go deep if asked, and will get yards after the catch. Shit, we even have TE's cathcing the ball this year.
This defense is good enough to carry them to the Super Bowl. Hell, Mark Anderson ( a rookie) already has something like 5 sacks this year. Yes, it's only 5 games into a long season, but the Bears are not just beating people, they are dismantiling them. GB and Detroit suck ass, Minn and Buff are not terrible teams, and Seattle went to the big one last year. Get on the bus now, b/c this is going to be one hell of a seson.
Quotegrossman has been hurt the majority of his career, so.....

His true colors? I'd like to see you comeback from a near death experience and play foorball.
Quote
His true colors? I'd like to see you comeback from a near death experience and play foorball.
come on, you know as well as i do that he wouldn't be playing right now if he weren't completely ready for it. i agree that his accident and the operation are a factor in his play, but i just think he's over rated and got extremely lucky last year, and we're beginning to see the 'mortal' side of him.
as far as near death experience goes, no matter how uncool it might look, i would never be such a fucking idiot as to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, so i don't have any sympathy for the guy.
Most quarterbacks go through periods of struggling, it happens. Don't count him out yet. I know he'll get through it and go down as one of the greats. I don't care what any of your opinions are theres nothing that will disuade me of mine. And I do think they'll turn the season around and atleast make a push at making the playoffs.
Big Steeler victory today AND losses for ravens and bengals. Don't count em out yet.
steelers definitely looked fuckin' impressive. i don't know how much kansas city's shittiness had to do with it, but the rest of the AFC will have to watch out if they play like that. the bengals got screwed on the officiating, but i learned from high school sports that you have to play well enough to not let the officials dictate the outcome of the game, and they most definitely didn't play well enough to make that happen. ravens proved they don't have shit on offense and only rely on their defense to win. the colts had a bye week, but still they've shown real problems against quality opponents. the AFC is still up for grabs, methinks.
lots of blowouts and lots of close games this week. it's shaping up to be a very good season.
I know Tracy's happy about the Saints this year...
(5-1)?!?!?
Didn't see that one coming.
Who Dat?

the bengals have not looked good of late. that was a bullshit roughing the passer call, but the bengals should have blown out the bucs anyway. They need to get their offense back on track and quick.
I'm guessing most of you saw last night's MNF game.....FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!! it took me 3 hours to unwind after that one.
anywho, the Bears' kick returner, Devin Hester, goes by the nickname "ANYTIME."
Basically, to make a long story short, I blared "Anytime" on the stereo over and over. :D
GO BEARS!!!!!
I'm going to send Neil Rackers a thank you letter. WOW what a finish. Domestic violence is up in Arizona. Did you see Dennis Greens post game conferance, you gotta love the bitterness. I feel bad for Lienart, he did everything he was supposed to do to put his team in a position to win. The Bears got away with this one. They better get there shit all in one sock during the bye week or there could be trouble on the midway.
GO BEARS
Poor Cardinals. :-/
the good ol' colts might be back, folks. they looked really strong and dominate against washington, at least in the second half. if they can keep improving their run defense and improve their offensive running game, watch the fuck out.
living in bengals country, i'm somewhat obligated to watch the games, and they showed promise today but still need a lot of work to show they can play a consitent 60 minute game.

COLTS! First team in NFL history to go 9-0 two seasons in a row. (although they almost became the DOLTS with a fumble pick for a touchdown right before halftime).
Dammit Carolina. You lost to the Redskins?!?! Throw it to Steve Smith more!! Delhomme...sigh...get it together dude.

Fuck that Favre is the man. And thats coming from a steeler fan.
While I'm on the subject....the steelers are done, stick a fork in em. Hines Ward had knee surgery today, hope it went alright.
Saying that tomorrow's game for my Vikings is huge would be a gigantic understatement.
Nice huge loss, Red.
We'll see how real the Saints are this Sunday night against a very hot Cowboys team. Look for the Saints to pressure the hell out of Romo and expose his inexperience.
The Deuce will be loose!
the bengals are starting to turn it around. that's what happens when Carson and the defense are healthy. oh and the refs stop calling roughing the passer every time a bengal touches the other teams quarterback.
btw, Favre had another career game with 51% completions, 2 INTSs, and QB rating of 54. He's well on his way to 27 INTs like he had last year. I hope he never retires!
The Saints/Cowboys game should be fun to watch. I'm looking forward to that one.
It also looks like Grossman is really fuckin' shit up (in a bad way) for the Bears. He had a HORRIBLE game this weekend. He's damn lucky the special teams and defense were able to put points on the board.
yeah, those are probably the best two teams in the NFC this year. that'll be a good game. Lovie may have won coach of the year last year but I think he is subpar. He was outcoached in the playoffs, he can't find a QB to save his life. And yesterday at the press conference he kept saying were 10-2 with Rex as our quarterback so he's our guy but last year they played Orton in a similiar situation. I don't think Grossman or Lovie have what it takes to win deep in the playoffs.
As far as the nfc goes the seahawks are getting healthy at a good time and might make a good run.

Because I think he's overrated and always has been. yeah, he's on a bad team now but his superbowl team was pretty superb with Reggie White and the like. He's always been a overrated, "gun-slinger" who threw too many interceptions and these past two years he's really shown his true colors.
Another reason I like to talk so much shit about him is beacuse no one else does, as you say! He throws 4 INTs and the announcers blame it on his defense or the wind. He was the worst rated starting QB last year and the media still acts like he's the best thing since sliced bread. Then he won't tell his team if they're coming back or retiring, meanwhile Aaron Rodgers is getting paid to watch Favre throw 27 INTs a year and Favre refuses to even talk to him because "that's not his job". if T.O. did that the media would have a field day. his selfishness is going to hurt the GreenBay organization for years and everyone treats him like a stand up guy. sorry for the rant, but you inquired.
Fire Delhomme.
Please. Or just bench him for a few games to get his head back where it needs to be.
Panthers should NOT have lost to Philly. Boo.
Jake looked pissed on that last drive....
how about the Titans beating both Manning brothers in two weeks!

Wow got to disagree with you on some parts of your Favre assessment. Granted he can be extremely reckless, but the guy will go down as one of the top five qbs ever. You can rip on him all you want for the last few years worth of play but he is an old man with shit for talent around him.
And as far as being selfish, Aaron Rodgers has shown nothing in games or practices from what I read and they may draft another qb in the next year or two. Plus who is the player everyone wants to see when they go to a GB game, its not Bubba Franks.
I might sound like a huge Favre fan but I am not, I am a Lions fan and that SOB has ruined many sundays for us here in Michigan the past 13 or so years.

Wouldn't argue with you there on Marino. He is my top qb, best pure passer ever. However who else can you put above him? Unitas, then maybe Montana (but that whole team he was on were all pro bowlers and hall of famers) and then I would go Elway. But he only won the super bowls with Terell Davis ripping it up. He didn't win it with the likes of Winder, Lang, and Humphrey running the ball.
So yeah I would say definitely top five qb.
Plus super bowl rings don't factor a players greatness. Peyton Manning will go down as one of the best whether or not he wins a championship.
top five? that's crazy! He's not in the top 5 current QBs. now do you all know what I mean by OVERRATED!?!?!
btw, your misery on sundays may have more to do with the facts that you're a lions fan and less to do with Favre, just like Favre's only ring has more to do with Reggie White and Mide Holmgren than Favre.
Here are SOME of the QBs I would put ahead of Favre:
Joe Montana
Dan Marino
Steve Young
Terry Bradshaw
Bob Griese
Joe Namath
Johnny Unitas (also should have retired earlier as well)
John Elway
Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
Bart Starr

Wow we got some Favre haters here. Well no sense in arguing with you guys forever on this one. I will just end it with two things- Reggie White was awesome but had to go to play on Favre's team to get the ring. Correct me if I am wrong on that one.
And the other thing numbers don't lie. Favre is second all time to Marino on passing yards, completions, and TDs. And I don't believe Reggie White and Mike Holmgren caught any of those.
Good night and maybe we will argue tomorrow. :)

And as far as numbers go, Emmit Smith is the all-time leading rusher but he is behind the likes of Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Barry Sanders, Tony Dorsett or Earl Campbell in the pure talent category.
Numbers shmumbers.
Fast Willie Parker with franchise record 223 yards in a 27-7 victory against the brownies tonight. 303 yeards total rushing. Parker got all those yards and still sat out most of the 4th quarter. Only RB to have two 200 yard games in a season for the steelers.All time browns-steelers games now tied at 55-55 for the two rivals.
that was an awesome game...parker is really coming into his own.

Thats the thing, theres no truth to what you say. Calling my hometown shittsburgh pisses me off, whether you mean to or not. We might be having a down year but cincinatti has had way more down years lately than us. I was happy about what my team did and I don't need your snotty little comments. One more game between our teams, we'll see who talks shit then.

Folks, I swear, I am just having fun here.
I apologize if my sarcasm is interpreted as belittling.
I am under the impression that we are all fans of the NFL here and I say the same things to people here (in arguments) that I would say to my closest friends. Intellectual jousting with insults (see The Dozens in hip hop culture) is how we see it. No harm.
Perhaps I am taking too many liberties with my quick wit and my craftmanship of the English language.
If I disagree with your choice of favorite NFL team, I will disagree. I'll try not to get too personal (families, pets, hairstyles, etc...) however, if you leave yourself wide open to some good hearted ribbing, please accept it for what it is.
Please, dish it back, but don't take it personally. Just having fun with my sarcastic wit; if you don't find it funny, then don't respond.
But if you say "The Steelers are great...the Bengals suck" or "so and so can't take criticism", then I have to respond....because it's F U N
Be careful out there...

What about the 49ers? and yes, Shittsburg has a better history than Cincy but let's try to live in the now for a minute. Shittsburg sucks. "Fast" Willie Parker is pretty fast as long as no one touches him. Big Ben is banged up. Cower put him in too early and may be leaving after this season. Bettis and randle El were big lossess but shouldn't have been big enough to make them suck so hard this year.
Oh yeah, and they come from a stinkhole of a town that, for reasons that couldn't be coincidence, has a name with "Pitts" in it which rhymes with shits. A city that is so terrible that the people's only chance at happiness is to root for a shitty ass football team. I might be a little over-sensitive to criticism too if I had to root for Shittsburg.
Man, this is fun, isn't it? Thanks Tracy, your manifesto was exactly what this thread needed.

The thing that gets me is that not only are you attacking my team which doesn't bother me that much, but you're attacking my town. I thought everyone here was cool but you're obviously ignorrant. Steelers aren't the only thing to live for around here.
while you 2 are arguing over 2 teams that are merely playing out the rest of their seasons, let's look at tonight's Saints/Cowboys match up and recognize that the Saints will take over the #2 spot with a win.
Recognize!
(http://www.blackandgold.net/uploads/new-orleans-who-dat-bigcopy.jpg)
what do you mean "merely playing out the rest of their season"? The Bengals control their own destiny to get into the playoffs, they are hot and healthy (mostly) at the right time of the year. The Steelers are out of the playoffs but the Bengals are far from it.
The Saints are doing great this year and I love watching them play, but let's not forget that Cincy beat them in the Superdome and would beat Dallas or New Orleans in the playoffs.
I am looking forward to watching that game, but first I've got to go to the local brewery to watch the Bengals game as it is not on tv.
The Bungles beat the Saints when Brees lit you up for 510 yds (37/52 passing). The problem was he threw 3 picks, 2 in the end zone. I'd feel pretty good about a re-match.
this thread will get much more interesting if the Bungles are in position to make the playoffs on the last day of the season when Shittsburg comes to town. I expect some wagering from you guys.

That was a great post Meg.
GREAT.
The poll question today on espn-Who's the NFL MVP?
Drew Brees?
LT?
your thoughts?
I wish it was like baseball, nl and an al mvp. They both are worthy. I'll have to go with......I'll decide later.
carson palmer.
Quotecarson palmer.
3 pretty decent games out of the season so far don't make a strong case for NFL MVP. rudi johnson has done more for the team than carson. get over it, carson is overrated. chad johnson would be a better candidate than carson.
let's go Bungles/Dolts fans. A little friendly wager for Monday Night?
Quotelet's go Bungles/Dolts fans. A little friendly wager for Monday Night?
sadly, with my money situation and current state of logic, i'd bet against my own team. sad state of affairs, in every way possible..
:'( :'( :'(
i'd say:
bengals 31
colts 21
colts do a much better job of stopping the run, but the safeties are pulled too far up the field to stop the deep passes. i wish i were wrong, but it's wot i feel at the moment.
bengals 38
colts 13
Carson overrated? Your crazy. Name me a QB who currently plays in the NFL who's better (other than Peyton). Maybe Brady but ONLY on the basis of his jewelry. But you're right, the Johnsons are pretty good too.
carson is a damn fine quarterback, when he shows up. i just don't think he's in the running for MVP. admittedly hating to go with popular opinion, but i think LT and drew brees are pretty much tied at the current moment, based upon the impact they've had on their respective teams. if the kansas city chiefs had a better record, you could throw larry johnson in the running as well. the entire bears' defense would certainly win, if that were allowed.
Quote
Name me a QB who currently plays in the NFL who's better (other than Peyton). Maybe Brady but ONLY on the basis of his jewelry.
Drew Brees has a 1-higher QB rating 2- thrown for more yards 3- thrown for more TD's 4- thrown less interceptions 5-has higher completion % 6- better win/loss record.
But I am sure you'll stick with your statement that Palmer is better.
damn logic, okay you're right, brees and LT are better candidates. I think carson's off-games have less to do with him "showing up" and more to do with his major knee surgery less than a year ago. Other than last week and the first part of the season, Carson has looked like his usual self this year.
LT is the BEST candidate.
But...could I throw Philip Rivers' name in there as well? I think he's been a badass this entire season. I mean, he's got an offensive line from hell to back him up, but he's been doing great as a "rookie".

actually I will. Compare their numbers from last year, or Carson's numbers last year to Brees' numbers this year. That's when Carson was 100% healthy and had a O line that showed up for every game. Carson's been sacked three times as much as Brees while trying to protect a banged up knee this season but he's still made throws that Brees couldn't pull off. When Carson retires we'll see who's in the hall and who's not. And let's not forget this season's head to head match-up: Carson 1 Brees 0. (I do like Brees though, because he's a Boilmaker)
http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/6273670
I'm not seeing his name mentioned here.
yo, I already admitted that there are better candidates at this point than Carson so you can drop it. But if you don't want to drop it I can point out that Carson, Chad, and Rudi are all better candidates for MVP than any player from your beloved Shittsburg Steelers.
Quote But if you don't want to drop it I can point out that Carson, Chad, and Rudi are all better candidates for MVP than any player from your beloved Shittsburg Steelers.

My point was that the Bengals have three players who are better candidates for MVP than any player on the team you root for so I don't know why you'd choose to talk shit about any of those Bengal players. Another point I made was one that I had already made about conceding the fact that there are currently players who are better candidates than Carson. Man, I don't know if I can make it any simpler than that or repeat in yet another way. I could draw you a picture or maybe you should just read my posts more carefully before you respond.
And again, I didn't mention the fucking Steelers, so whatever dude.
If you read the link to the article I posted, nobody has Palmer listed on their MVP lists.
I could draw you a picture, but it might offend/educate you.

I didn't say that. Jesus christ, people! Do they not teach you to read in Shittsburg? I said that Carson is not the best candidate for MVP. That's six times now. And I know you never said any Steelers were better candidates for MVP, I said that and the reason you don't want to debate it is because you know it's true. Not to mention that I was talking to Conaway at that point, not you. Get over yourself and learn to read. Practice makes perfect:

Hey COLTS! Please do not embarrass INDY once again this evening!
No Steelers fans want to take me up on the bet, huh? Figures they got more bark than bite just like their team. Couldn't stand the heat. :P
Hey, look who's got just one more win than the steelers have.
even though i bet against the colts, i'm fucking happy as hell that they won. we saw who the better quarterback was. i think we all saw why carson will only be a 'slightly better than average' quarterback. he's a hell of a passer in the physical sense, but he doesn't have the leadership skills all the GREAT quarterbackers need to have. the colts' run defense still makes me cringe, but dwight freeney is getting back his fire, and that should be scary to their remaining opponents.

I am a life long Charger fan, probably the only one of the East Coast. I even caught the snowball game vs the Giants back in 95. I agree with your post, the chargers take it this year, but the team with the top record never seems to win it, so I am a bit nervous.
As far as the list of top QBs in history, no one mentioned
DAN FOUTS!!!!! Don Coryells late 70-early 80s offense was one of the most exciting in history. Brady, Roethelsberger, etc, these guys only wish they could throw like Fouts.
Now, I'll get off my soapbox.
Anyone else watching the Vikings/Packers game? Hopefully my Vikes can maintain some dignity and win their remaining games this season.
well, it's been an unfortunate season for my bengals, but I'm just hoping they can right the ship next year (although they're not completely out of it yet). That said, I just wanted to make it clear that my bet on the upcoming Shittsburg- Cincy game is still available if either Conaway or True want to grow a pair and take me on. I'll be at the game making some noise for my team!

Well that was a disappointing end to a disappointing season. Two years in a row I have seen the end of the Bengals season with a lost to Shittsburg in Cincy. Last time Carson's injury made me want to throw up. Yesterday's meltdown made me sick in a totally different way. I can't describe how much I HATE the Pittsburgh Steelers!! That being said I am a man of my word so I have to honor my bet. I'll try and find a terrible towel or something. One month.

Nick Saban announces he is leaving the Dolphins for Alabama....as we all suspected he would....just last week this fucktard said "I am not going to coach for Alabama".I am all for people wanting to better themself and make more money but there is no loyalty in sports anymore.2 years is not enough time to turn a team around...it takes consistency and not having to worry who's gonna be your coach,running back or QB for the upcoming year...now the Dolphins are back to square one.
Just needed to vent....sorry.
well, at least it will be a chance for the organization to look outside their own talent pool...I read somewhere that Jimmie Johnson was the last candidate to be interviewed outside the organization for the coach job. maybe cowher will go there! hahahhahhah

Kordell Stewart?! What's that dude doing these days?
I bet both of those guys would rather stay in Pittsburgh. Maybe they had talks with other teams but I'm sure in their minds they were waiting to see what Cowher does. Kordell was interviewed about Cowher today on NFL live.
I heard rumors Kordell was gay, is there any truth to them? Not that there's anything wrong with that. You know what they say, who better to treat a man than another man. It would probably double his chances for a date on friday nite. It would bring a new meaning to getting SACKED.
somebody stop me!!!! I'm on a roll.

I don't think he's being homophobic. But anyway, that was kinda a running joke here in Pittsburgh, but i personally don't think its true. I don't remember how it got started.

I'm no homophobe. I love homos(i'm not gay), my barber is a homo, my interior designer is a homo. GOOD PEOPLE. I'm not there judge, God is. I didn't want to start a new thread for questions regarding an ex-NFL Q.B.
Saints fans are just bitter because the road to the super bowl goes through CHICAGO. Although I would rather play the Saints than the Eagles, they look tough.
even though it's only one game after a season long disappointment of games, i'm feeling good about the colts' defense. they're playing with the potential they possess. the offense struggled, but they were still able to grind out the win.
woo!!! 8-) 8-) 8-)
wow..Tony Romo just screwed up big time
tony romo is not as good as his first few games indicated. i think his true colours will show next season. he got lucky for a while, and that luck will soon run out.
it's over for my gmen :'(
Cant say I'm surprised though. Closer game than I thought it would be. And getting to see the 285 lb back up qb take a snap was fun.
I'll say it right now. NO are taking it all. Over the Chargers.
Nah man. Nah.
Rivers is totally gonna beat up on Drew Brees. And LT will help him. A lot. It might actually be all LT. But the chargers are way better looking than the saints. Best of luck to you though!
I'm just now catching up in this thread.
Coupla things...
I can't believe the Colts defense managed to stop LJ the other day. I was pretty sure he'd run for at least 150 on them. Nope.
My wife and I are throwing a B-day party for a friend this weekend and she has already told me that she didn't care if I sneak off to the bedroom to watch the Saints game on Saturday. Woot!
This Saints/Eagles game is gonna be great. Go Saints!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHIT!!!!!!! Congratulations Brother. I wish I had watched that game. I'm glad Peyton won. I really wish with all my heart that we get a Saints vs. Colts superbowl.
You look like your about 29 years old in those pictures, I guess that's what winning a playoff game will do for a man.
Oh Snap, I just noticed the breathe ez strip. Nice. ;D
alright, c'mon Chargers. If i have to watch another New England/Indianapolis AFC title game, i will be sick.
got a good one going here with Seattle and Chicago.
I'm really enjoying this game and these are two teams I absolutely loathe.
That was pretty stupid that Philly punted with under 2 minutes left on 4th and 15. Grow some balls Reid. I am rooting for the Saints to go all the way.
Well, shit. I was really hoping the Chargers would win and get a chance to kick the Colts' ass but that ain't the case. Damn it.
On the other hand, I can't decide who I want to win in the Saints/Bears game. I'm rooting for both of those teams. So...... I hope the winner of that game beats the winner of the Colts/Pats game. Fuck those guys.
Well that makes it easy, now I only have the Saints to cheer for. I hate the other 3 teams immensely.
barf...
dammit, why do they Patriots have to be such pretty boys...i wouldn't be suprised if Tom Brady missed the afc title game because of a photo shoot.
I was at the bears game yesterday, It was MAGIC in the stadium. Gonna be at the NFC title game to when the saints come marching in. I'm not to optomistic, saints are AWESOME. My dream match-up. BEARS vs INDY. I hope it comes true.
BEARS 165 - COLTS 3 . DA BEARS
Seriously, if the Patriots win the super bowl, I'm going to be SO pissed. Haven't they won enough already? >:(
i guess i'm supposed to be happy that the patriots won (again).
but i could honestly care less.
bears suck, they will never ever win. ever never ever win
Quotebears suck, they will never ever win. ever never ever win
Is that all you got ? Come on !!!! They sucked there way into the NFC Championsip game. It wasn't pretty, and I know seattle isn't New Orleans. But the game goes on and we get a chance to go to Miami. New Orleans better get up here and get some practice outside. Or they might get JACKED UP.

YEAH, WHAT HE SAID
oh i got more, they are the luckiest team ever. you're right it wasn't pretty, at all. seriously they are the only team that can win without any offense, they have none. thomas jones isn't good, he's alright at best. rex grossman, one word...junk. they have sub-par receivers. the d is falling apart. i really think they will get to the superbowl, i do, cause they are lucky. they might win the superbowl because of luck.
they don't deserve a superbowl, at all. the nfc is weak, really weak. your'e a bears fan, i get that. lets be real, the superbowl is this week pats vs indy. i don't even like those two teams, i respect them. the bears are good no doubt, they're not great. i wrote that they will never ever never ever win cause lucky teams shouldn't win. The bears are who we thought they were!
I agree with you on somethings, although I don't know to many lucky losers. Luck comes to teams that put themselves in position to win. E-nuff talkin, Lets play the friggin game. And then we'll CROWN'EM. ( Thanks Dennis green for the quote).
I don't like the Pats or the Colts, and the Saints looked pretty awesome and convincing in their win (if only by the hair on their chinney-chin-chin) over the Eagles. I originally predicted a Chargers-Saints bowl, but now I'm saying Pats/Saints. Methinks the Peyton Manning choke is about to happen...like Schottenheimer's with the Chargers.
How about that L.T. :'(. He showed his true colors after the game . They can dish it out but can't take it. I lost alot of respect for that guy. Why would you rip the coach when the players are the ones doing the dancing.
All that dancing is gross. Wait til you win the superbowl.

last time I read a statement like that was when someone said the national championship game had been played already between Ohio St and Michigan, and we see what happened to Ohio St and Michigan against really good teams.
Calling a 13-3 team playing for the Super Bowl "lucky" is silly and shows how much you know about football; very little. And this is coming from a Saints fan. Just be a fan and watch the game, no need to talk a bunch of shit about Rex Grossman who has more atheletic ability in his big toe than you probably have in your entire body.
(BTW, if you're trying to talk smack, perhaps step it up a bit, it's pretty weak).
I like how you think MC POW WOW. Regardless of what many think, the last 4 teams standing all deserve to be in it. Win and play again or go home a gracious loser. I'm ready for a SMASH MOUTH game sunday. Time to let the players do the talkin.
kinda like when the STEELERS won the bowl last year. everyone wrote them off, even before the playoffs. Let's ask Holmgren how it feels to be beat by a Wild Card, sixth seed team that played all playoff games on the road.
He looked pissed this weekend when they lost. that dude's headed for a heart attack.

lol thats funny. talking smack...no. talkin' facts. i also wasn't tryin to start an argument. i just gave my opinion, and you're opinion is your opinion. but what did i say about grossman? i called him junk, he's 24th in Qb rating, thats junky. Jones 11th ranked rb, thats above average or alright. i said their d was falling apart, last four weeks they were ranked 27th in the league. and they are lucky.
my favorite line was "grossmon who has more atheletic ability in his toe"
if that was the case, there wouldn't be newspapers, sports radio, and tv shows.
i know little about football, thats the game that has three periods...right?

Who's
your team Tripps?
i don't have one, i just watch football. as much as possible. i guess my favorite team is all of my fantasy football.
Forget Q.B. ratings and all that other bullshit. He is a winner. He also led the 2nd highest scoring offense in the NFL. With New Orleans a close 3rd. Granted it hasn't been pretty of late, I know what he is capable of doing when Good Rex is in the house. You must be a Viking fan ;)

So where did you finish in your FFL. I take it you drafted Grossman with your # 1 pick. I sense a lot of hatred there.
yeah, what's up with the grossman hatred? surely you can direct that rage into something somewhat useful... :)

LT is a sore loser--you can't win all the time (especially when you go against NE post-season). I hope the Pats play the Saints in the superbowl and it goes into OT.

you said i didn't know anything, maybe next time you need to look at the stats. cause you really looked sad. sorry for telling the truth, and you're really get upset at the facts and the stats, why? they don't lie. get the over it.
.
what did i say that wasn't true, don't get all huffy and puffy...tear. the sky is blue, rex grossman is the 24th qb rating passer. water is wet, the bears d 27th in the last four weeks. i'm sorry i can't change that, in order to make you right.
what makes a football fan? a person who doesn't know the stats? then i guess you're number one. or a person who knows and studies the game?
i said the bears were good, but not great. i can't lie. grossman is junk, and if the bears had somewhat of a backup, he would have been gone weeks ago. i'm not going to say grossman is good, when he isn't. i'm not going to say thomas jones is a great running back, when he's not. i'm not going to say the bears d wasn't falling apart, when they were. its not a cheap shot at the bears, cause they did it to themselves. i didn't make the stats, they did.
i'm not a hater, i'm a realist. i don't even know what i said, that was so bad. i didn't expect an argument over calling the bears lucky and grossman junky.

I said you didn't know anything? That's a lie. Come with the truth zippy or fucking stay on the curb. Show me where I said you didn't know anything. And the Bears are in the fucking NFC championship game. There's more to football than stats, assclown. Take your bullshit fantasy football stats to another thread. We're talking about the NFL here,
not how great Chad Johnson is b/c he led the NFL in reception yards. Or how great Mark Bulger is b/c he was 3rd in the NFL in passing, although his team didn't make the playoffs. Who gives a shit about stats when you're playing to go to the Super Bowl? I guess some fanstasy football idiot without a real dog in the hunt.
And you said the bears are lucky, Show me the stats on luck junior.
I have started your bogus fantasy football thread sweetie, knock yourself out.

I was being a little over the top when i said the bears sucks and they will never ever never win. then someone asked if thats all i got. so i had a little more in-depth. thats all. to be honest i think the bears will win.

I don't like it when people talk about luck. Losers talk about luck being the factor, not winners.
i agree, i shouldn't have said that in that way. they did earn every win they got, i agree.
guess i don't hate the bears. i guess i'm a hater of grossman. the more we talk about him, the more i want to hate on him even more. i think it has to do with the probowl commercial the started week 5 or so with grossman and Muhsin Muhammad voting for each other. it was to early, thats when the hate entered my heart.
hate grossman?! dude, wtf? do you know him personally? have you witnessed him beating small children or stealing oxygen from cancer patients? what, if anything, would make anyone HATE a player?
now, with that said, i don't LIKE certain players, but I wouldn't say I HATE them. too strong a word for me. I don't really hate anyone.
Tater Hates Haters !!!!! Sometimes I don't like me either. GO BEARS
Anybody willing to make it interesting, Maybe a small wager. Doesn't have to be monetary, maybe you could take a digit down to the first knuckle or something.

stop being so sensitive. i'm a hater. its just a word. it doesn't mean i hate him personally. a hater is someone who rags on a player... thats it. thats why people called me a hater in the first place. even before i said i was a hater of grossman. no one in their right mind could hate a person they don't know. although i guess i do hate paris hilton (i don't no why i just do). i sure i going to hear some shit for saying that. but to say i "hate" rex grossman, are you kidding me? i don't "hate" him. i'm a hater of him (i rip on him). you don't have to go that far in depth with the word hater. it is what it is. a word. life isn't all duckies and bunnies. i'm going to say some negative things, i can't love everything about everyone. sorry. like i said before, the players and the team made the stats, i didn't. (i know they're in the nfc championship game) the bears should win this game. like they should've won every first round game before this one.
uh, okay then.

you're opening up a can of worms by saying the word "hate". saying "hate" is taking it to far....for some people.
eagles fans "hate" the cowboys. bears fans "hate" the packers. the league is full of "hate". i love the "hate". i don't know one eagles fan that would just say "i don't like" the cowboys. they say "i "hate" the cowboys."
Who Dat?!
So, I was in New Orleans last weekend for my birthday and a friend surprised me with tickets to the game! Holy moly...it was amazing! The atmosphere in the city after the win was fantastic...good times all around! On Sunday, you could hear the people in the bars cheering as loudly for Seattle as they had the night before for the Saints...
As fate would have it, I may be back down there for Super Bowl Weekend...Krewe du Vieux rolls on Saturday and if the Saints are in the SB on Sunday, that would make for a geat weekend...
GEAUX SAINTS!

Yup. Go colts and saints!
i'm looking for the pats to "pull-out" a victory. Hopefully they can start and end "rock hard."
i like the saints just because they made "tuff-guy" Jeff Garcia cry. jeff you're such a women. although i think its going to be the pats vs bears. pats taking it.
The weather forecast for tomorrows Bears-Saints game calls for snow to start around 7 or 8 in the morning and lasting through the afternoon. People always talk about Bear weather, which is a bunch of crap. Although, if does indeed snow, the Bears will definitely win this game. Personally, I'm hoping for a blizzard, ala the Pats-Raiders game from 2001. Football is soooo much more fun when the elements suck a fat one.
on a side note..........do you think our pals are rooting for the Bears?

Congrats Saints fans for a good season. Keep your chins up, you will get another chance very soon. You have solid young team. Bush should not have pointed back at Urlacher on his touchdown run, he released some bad MOJO on the rest of his team. Rookie mistake.
I'm already tired hearing the super bowl shuffle.
GO BEARS !!!!!
Nothing to be upset about Saints fans. That was one helluva season.
I'm watching this Colts-Pats game, i wonder if the Colts even care anymore. Peyton just keeps throwing it deep and crossing his fingers. Marvin has also dropped several passes. That duo is done next season.
Not the best game I have ever seen. Hard to win when you turn the ball over 4 times and your opponent has zero turn overs (and commits 1 penalty). And not enough Deuce. Maybe next year we can get the home field advantage and someone besides Fred Thomas to play corner.
In defeat, I am glad to see Grossman and Thomas play like NFL players, especially since they were getting hated on. I will say Reggie Bush's TD was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen (but the taunting was silly).
We'll be back.

i think we outplayed them...
hmm.
jones had a great game. grossman still has to answer a lot of questions, i'm still going to hate on him. you know that even if he does win the superbowl, he'll have a very short leash next year. but colts vs pats...wow great fuckin' game. i had money on the pats. 5 bucks and a case of beer. it doesn't matter, that was one hell of game. good luck to both teams, but i'm going with the bears.
Living in INDY the next 2 weeks is gonna' be so sweet! We FINALLY have something besides the Races! GO COLTS!!! :)

living in minnesota, the vikings fans are hurting after this one. finally they had a guy, who had them going in the right direction. (i know they were last in the pass def.) the article said 7th def. coord. in 9 years. wow i didn't realize that.
did you see the weird parallels between him and Noll and Cowher?
fuckin' Pittsburgh. more stadiums than coaches in the past 38 years. wow.
by comparison, the colts have had 15 coaches in the same time period.
and now parcells says bye bye to Dallas...didn't see that one coming.
Yeah man. Parcells is gone. I don't think anyone saw that one coming.
I'm also wondering what Cowher is going to do when he gets through playing golf for a couple years. I really wish he would go down to NC State and bring their football team back...but I doubt that will happen.
Oh well, I'm just glad I can watch the superbowl this year now that the Patriots aren't going to be in it.
Man, I just got done watching Mike Tomlin's press conference here in PA, and, I'll be honest, at first I didn't like the hire, but after watching him and seeing why everyone else was so impressed with this guy I am extremely pumped about the Steelers' chance at returning to the Super Bowl in years to come. Plus, LeBeau is coming back, and he is a defensive genius.
Just a few days ago newspaper headlines read "Grimm Expected to be named Head Coach". Shows what they know. I'm excited about our new head coach. Go Steelers!

Congrats to Peyton's and his Colts.
I don't want to hear anyone talk shit about Grossman. I'm not at all a fan (since he went to flordia and replaced Orton (a Purdue guy)) but any qb who can lead the team to a superbowl is worthy of praise not constant criticism. Rex grossman has now gone to as many super bowls than Dan Marino and 90% of current NFL QBs.
I can't help but mention that the Bengals could have / should have represented in the AFC but oh well. btw, Chad Johnson IS the best receiver in the NFL. And it's not because he lead the nfl in receiving yeards, it's because he's ALWAYS OPEN! Let me ask you this: how do you stop 85?

Chad Johnson might be the best of he didn't drop so many passes. Its pretty easy to disrupt him out of his game too. Steelers have done it many times.

you should be! he's a great coach. but even more than that, he's a great human being. get excited steelers fans.
It's the COLTS and the Bears and I am still reading about the steelers and cowboys! WTF? ;)
Colts 38 Bears 24...There you go some Super Bowl talk. I don't know why I am imagining such a large defeat, but I just have that feeling that Manning will be cool and calm in the SB and will pick apart the secondary. It will be interesting to see how Rex does cause the Colts D does not give up the long ball, which is what Rex throws very well. The Colts will make him dink-and-dunk his way down the field and that causes Rex problems. The Colts have too many weapons on offense for the Bears to stop completely. Reggie, Marvin, Dallas Clark, Fletcher and the two-running back combo. Take both WR's away and then Clark tears the D apart, ask the Pats. Either way, I am rooting for the Colts since I am an AFC type of guy. I was never a Colts fan, in fact I wanted Kansas City to beat them, but then they played the Ravens and Patriots, two teams which I HATE and NEVER root for, so I caught myself jumping off my couch when the Colts made the last INT to beat the Pats...Here we go Steelers, Here we GO! Tomlin gets them back into the playoffs next season. Bengals will, well, they're the Bengals.
Go Steelers.
colts are good, and should win. i'm going with the bears. just cause i don't want to see manning 13 more times on tv. it's already getting old, wait till he wins the superbowl. my buddies have a bet on the game. 50 bucks on the bears to win, with no spread. thats retarded. i have a big money bet, 5 dollars. yup ballize. but i get 8 points on da bears.

So far, a private school has decided to cancel classes the day after the Super Bowl.
A local group shot a music video in front of the Dome (after they were asked to leave Monument Circle because they did not have a permit).
Every where you look there are brand new jerseys, sweatshirts etc. being worn. I especially like the pink and white Manning jerseys all the ladies are wearing.
Bakeries, eateries, bars and the like are doing it all up in "blue". I am not sick of it yet, I fully realize this may be a once in a lifetime deal. ;) COLTS!!!
did anyone else hear that fans can't tailgate before the game? no campers, no drinking, no grillin, and no fun. at least with in a mile of the stadium. that my friends is some bulljunk.
i'm so depressed that there is NO football on this week. I'm just not ready to make the transition in Basketball. I'm already ready next season!
btw, four more days until I can change this damn avatar!!! I hate the Shittsburg Steelers and all of their shitty fans!!! Who Dey! (that's right, not who dat, come up with your own cheer saints fans!)

Who Dey! (that's right, not who dat, come up with your own cheer saints fans!)
Who Dat came around in the late 70's (actually Southern University and New Orleans public schools in the 60's). Who Dey came around in 81 when the Bungles lost to the 49ers in the SB.
In other words, Who Dat has been around a lot longer than Who Dey (and yes, this is a silly discussion)
AFC rules NFC drools :P....GO COLTS!!!!!!

VERY EXCITED !!!! Can't wait until sunday. I think I'll start tailgating friday nite. I heard they are not allowing tailgating within 1 mile of the game. Thats a shame. I wish I could go to miami and watch the game on the beach. NO WAY would I pay
$ 3000.00 - $ 10,000.00 for any ticket to sporting event. Unless MMJ played at the half-time show I might reconsider.

he should get his praise for the moment, thats all. just cause he went the superbowl, and even if he does win doesn't make me a good qb. grossman is only good when he doesn't have to win a game and has to play average. if he tries to win the game by himself, he fucks up. so hopefully they can play with a lead the whole game. trent dilfer, brad johnson, mark rippen etc. they're not good qb's and they won a superbowl. it just shows that average qb's can win a super bowl. hopefully he does. i have 5 bucks on grossman winning it. big money
Receipe for Bears success. RUN RUN RUN. Stop Colts run. Force Manning to throw every play. Hopefully Mannings thumb is still really sore and he throws up some more of those ducks he was throwing at the end of the Pats game. Although his ducks are more accurate than Grossmans Spirals. God damn I hope good Rex shows up on game day. I hope the kid can shake all the negativity. He is REALLY a nice kid, he does a ton of charity in the Chicago area and gives back to the community. Like he should.

Have you ever seen a horse fuck a Bear?
You will on sunday!
;D
;D Thats hillarious. Can you give me visual.
Barbaro isn't the only horse thats gonna be euthanized this week.
Super Blue Friday tomorrow! I grew up in a blue house with blue carpeting and furniture. That is why you will not find a speck of blue in our house. I LOVE the Colts, but enough with all the blue already! ;) Blue shirts, blue pants, blue forklifts, blue themed cars, blue cocktails, blue donuts, blue lights, and on and on! I just wonder how much longer all this blue can last after the Colts win on Sunday?
How about Blue Balls.
Bears for the win... it'll be nasty.
Bears 36
Colts 7
Bears 42
Colts 21 (Peyton throws record 8 interceptions)
On paper, Colts are vastly better, but that's how I win bets! ::)

how many times do you think we'll see archie manning? my roommates and i are taking shots every time we see him.
Bears by 6.
Ummm...HOLY FUCK!!!
wow
Oh yeah! Take that prettyboy Manning.
i don't think i'll be seeing archie anytime soon.
I'm convinced that I could be a holder in the NFL.
Why am I cheering for the Bears, I'm a Vikings fan?!
vikings fan? you would fit in well in minnesota.
here's a reason though, cheer the nfc north. it makes it look like its (fuck fumble just heard) the hardest division. (yes fumble) wow
Quotevikings fan? you would fit in well in minnesota.
I bleed purple and gold. The way I see it MN, is pretty much like Canada South.
people say we have more of a canadian accent then canadian folks, i don't know a-boot that.
CCR into Dylan into Foo Fighters, I like.
Finally....... COLTS!!! ;)

football over :'( but soon its baseball season soon... go twins!
Wow, did Manning only get sacked ONCE the entire game? I can only remember #97 sacking him sometime in the 3rd. (He's an Alabama grad)... dang... Bears offense was beyond sucky, but I figured the defense would win the game here.
At least Prince rocked the balls off.
i thought the game was rather boring, didn't seem like the Super Bowl.
as for halftime, i am not a Prince fan, i certainly don't dislike him though. But i really just didn't get into the performance tonight. Maybe i'm just in a bad mood
Congats Colts & Colts fans. You earned it. Bears were outplayed & outcoached.
Bad Rex decided to make his grand appearance. Little hands + wet ball = ugly loss.
The bears D did all the wrong things. After the Hester return it went downhill fast.
The best part of the game was the Anderson sack and the halftime show. I know it's tough to get the sound right for that sort of thing, but the sound during the halftime show always sucks balls. It's a good thing that Prince can sing AND play his guitar 'cause that's about all you could hear.

i was never as proud to be a Minnesotan.
QuoteOh yeah! Take that prettyboy Manning.
if Peyton is a pretty boy in your eyes, then you have pretty low standards!
The halftime show kicked all kinds of ass. I've got to see Prince live before he dies or I do!
I thought it was a good game. I'm glad Peyton won it and the MVP, now people can stop talking shit about him.
Now I have to make the transition into basketball. Here's to next season: Who Dey!
Joey Porter released. Big Ben's work ethic is in question (last one on the field....first one to leave?) New head coach! Uncertainty in da 'burgh.

That was surprising about Porter, given his endless shit talking. I think the new coach is cleaning house under the guise of "salary cap movement". Blah blah.
i'd say ben's attitude is a reation to the coaching changes, blah blah blah. i don't think the poor bastard is taking it so well.

From what i make of it this was speculation on last seasons performance.
