After THAT mess right thurr, you can have his ass on GP cuz you are obviously a better man than me.

Craig James is such a hottie, STILL. I was only 7 when he played at SMU. But he did local sports here in Dallas for years. That's one fine, strapping, cornfed hunk o' man.

Anyway, he played for the Patriots and was in the NFL for a few years. Did you know he was the last white guy to rush for 1000 yards?

Oops! was that TMI?

SCNDLS said:

I remember his NFL career being too short. He is a fine hunk of a man. Never had a problem with watching him.

SUPRMAN said:

Too late, you're now a certified jock sniffer.

Okay, back to foolball . . .

I'm about to say some REALLY crazy shit

After watching Kitna last night I've come to the realization that, ummmm . . . Jerry should've signed Michael Vick to be our backup.

"But after taking the lead, the Cowboys unraveled in a flurry of mistakes. They fumbled three times, losing two of them, and had one pass intercepted in the first half.

Kitna had two turnovers the Vikings converted into touchdowns. His fumbled snap set up a 37-yard drive by the Vikings to tie the score in the first.

In the second quarter, Kitna was hit as he threw the ball, and it was intercepted by Letroy Guion, who advanced it to Dallas' 25. Six plays later, the Vikings had the lead. Kitna finished 9-of-14 for 100 yards, including a 31-yarder to Martellus Bennett. "

We're screwed if Romo gets hurt

Giants cut injury-plagued receiver Tyree

The New York Giants have cut David Tyree, the receiver who cradled a catch against his helmet to prolong a game-winning drive at the end of Super Bowl XLII.

"I talked to [assistant GM] Kevin Abrams this morning and he said it was a very tough decision for the team," Michael Clouser, Tyree's agent, told The Newark Star-Ledger on Saturday. "Like anyone else, it was a tough thing for David to hear. He's actually saying his goodbyes to his teammates right now."

A team source confirmed Tyree's release to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Giants also released quarterback Andre Woodson and are considering carrying only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster -- Eli Manning and David Carr.

That makes this year's fifth-round pick Rhett Bomar a candidate to be released and re-signed to practice squad, if he clears waivers.

Leg injuries kept Tyree from playing at all in 2008 and limited him to four catches during the 2007 regular season. He pulled in three catches for 43 yards in the Super Bowl, as the Giants beat the New England Patriots 17-14.

"He's obviously disappointed, but we're confident someone else will see the value he brings on special teams and as a wide receiver," Clouser said. "We'll see how things go here in the next few days."

Tyree, a sixth-round draft pick of the Giants in 2003 out of Syracuse, has 54 catches for 650 yards in five seasons. He had told reporters this week he anticipated being released.

"What a joy it was to be a part of something so great from Day 1," Tyree said, according to the Star-Ledger. "My experience here has been nothing short of a dream."

Teams were required to set their rosters at no more than 53 players Saturday.

"To be placed in team history and sports history, where do you go from here?" Tyree said earlier this week. "But at the same time, my love for this game hasn't died out yet and I really feel I still have something great to add onto my career and legacy."

The Cardinals still suck ass simple

SCNDLS said:

They will live 2 regret cutting T.O.

Graycap23 said:

I've been saying that since day 1, especially since Jerry did him dirty. He only became a "problem" after he called Romo out and he was speaking 100% truth.

SCNDLS said:

Romo may not put up the stats, but Jerry Jones won't have any regrets if they reach the playoffs.
T.O. is a great WR but not so great an individual. Especially in a team environment setting.
I don't think the 49'ers or Eagles regret cutting him loose.

WTF were the Raiders thinking, trading a draft pick for 30-year old Richard Seymour??

uPtoWnNY said:

Well considering what they had on their defensive line what did
they have to lose. Seymour is a proven product unlike the chiefs
getting shitted out of a second round pick for 1 year wonder
Matt Cassel.

SUPRMAN said:

Spoken like someone who reads the paper.

Graycap23 said:

?

What does that mean?
Are you implying that I am missing something?

Am I to think that the problem is everyone but T.O.?

What would be a better source than what I've observed and read as a football fan?

School me.

SUPRMAN said:

Talk 2 his teammates.....they will will tell u the REAL deal.

phunkdaddy said:

I'm not a believer in trading draft picks - to me, they're like gold. Raiders will suck, so the Pats wind up with a top pick.

Graycap23 said:

And what is the real deal?
That he never made those comments about Garcia or McNabb?
That he was never divisive in a game, on the sidelines, or in a locker room?
I'm assuming you have talked with his team mates, so what's the story?

SUPRMAN said:

Do u know what a political scapegoat is?

Graycap23 said:

Yes, but that doesn't answer any of my questions.
He's been a scapegoat on three different teams?!!
So how does he keep playing in the NFL?
It's not like they NEED to create a poster boy for bad, self-indlugent behavior.

SUPRMAN said:

Let me rephrase the question.
Would T.O. have been cut by Philly if they had won the Superbowl?

I didn't like what went down with T.O and McNabb in Philly but
regardless of how it went with T.O in his prior 3 stops,I wanted
to see him succeed in Buffalo but it may be a trainwreck before
it even gets started. Their LT Jason Peters was traded to Philly
in the offseason,the o-line is starting two rookies and is in
shambles. Their star player Marshawn Lynch is suspended for the
first three games and who is gonna throw the ball to T.O.
Trent"JP Losman"Edwards?
They open up the season on the road at New England and they may put
up 51 on Buffalo on Monday night. They come back home to take on
Tampa which is a winnable game followed by New Orleans at home and
Miami on the road. I can see them starting off 1-3 winning the Tampa game
but if this team starts out 0-4 it's bye bye Dick Jauron.

Graycap23 said:

That question does nothing to answer the allegations of him being more self-centered than team oriented.
The question is unanswerable and any answer yes or no would merely be speculative and irrelevant.

SUPRMAN said:

Everyone knows that T.O. is self centered as are MOST pro players. That has ZERO 2 do with on the field performance. Z E R O

I'm just sick of all these WR divas. That's why I love Hines Ward. Dude is strictly business.

Graycap23 said:

IF that's the case, then why do teams keep trading and releasing him while admitting he performs?
IF he performs as he did in S.F. Philly and Dallas did they all release him if his on field work has nothing to do with his locker room, practice, and personal life?
It must matter to somebody because no one is releasing him because he can't catch a football and score with it.

SUPRMAN said:

Why? When u don't win his tactics are a distraction.
When u win, they are NOT.

Just ask Kobe and the Lakers.....

uPtoWnNY said:

Good example. Even though Plaxico Burress was more talented(and i loved the
guy's talent),when it came time for the steelers to show the money they gave it to Hines Ward because he works 110%. There are a lot more talented wideouts in
the league but you'll find very few who works as hard. If the cowboys make
the playoffs and win a game or two and possibly the Super Bowl,that will
cure the why did they let T.O go talk.

Graycap23 said:

His behavior is a distraction win or lose. People merely complain less when winning because of the benefits that accrue with winning.
However, his being a winner has never prevented him from being cut or traded.
So he's doing something that they won't, can't or simply don't ignore because they are winning.
Suffice it to say, he's a behavioral problem any way you slice it.

He such a team player, they keep getting rid of him?

I'm not buying it.
And you've presented nothing from his teammates to change that view.
