The league(and fans) have been spoiled by the early success of Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, and Big Ben. Those cats are the exception, not the rule.

He called the coach a punk ass with no SKILLS.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, I said that too

uPtoWnNY said:

Given that, why does the NFL pay these unproven 1st round players so much $?
I don't get it.

Graycap23 said:

I'm surprised that the NFLPA isn't trynna cap these salaries since it would free up money for proven players.

That would be my #1 order of business now that the old man Upshaw is around.

Graycap23 said:

I like the new brutha in charge. He's pretty impressive.

Graycap23 said:

That's why it's so risky taking young QBs that high in the draft. You won't know if he's any good for 3-5 years. If he bombs out, the franchise is screwed because of all the time and money spent developing these guys.

How is it that Tom Cable didn't get charged with assault??? Ain't no way a player could break another player's jaw and not get charged. PLUS 2 of his ex-wives and his ex-girlfriend have charged that he physically abused them. Roger Goodell better do the right thing.

Okay, I'm not getting excited about the Cowboys until they play the Eagles and Giants BUT Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin are doing the fool today and the defense is FINALLY clicking.

Mutha fuckin 2 pass interference calls. We have a banged up offensive line but damn. Let them play.

My Dolphins are looking good. Although Ted Ginn still blows as a receiver, he is a great return guy, almost Desmond Howard II

SCNDLS said:

He would have ALREADY suspended a player.

It's crisis time for the Giants - three straight losses vs. good teams. We're sinking faster than the Titanic. Eli's missing receivers, linebackers are old and slow, the secondary is swiss-cheese - nothing's going right.

And you KNOW this!

Interesting isn't it?

Hines Ward voted NFL's Dirtiest Player

I would vote Cortland Finnegan. Ray Lewis a close second.
How in the hell Troy Polamalu wound up on this list?

In case you missed it the first time.....

That's right haters love to hate the Pats and talk about what we haven't won lately....

PUTS ON HER MORGAN FREEMAN VOICE:but does their team have a commercial like this?
or fans like this?
or win 59-0?
we have no superstars, just a good competitive team that can keep everyone on their toes.

Its always fun to see the Pats play, love em' or hate em' we make bitches sweat for their win.

So they GOTTA bring their A game when they play us. PERIOD!!

The damn red sucks are another story.....

phunkdaddy said:

Or Roy Williams??? He didn't play all last season.

SCNDLS said:

True i thought that was another odd choice.

Houston just can't catch a break. That kicker need to ride the bus back home.

Troy Vincent the one being investigated for collusion?

The NFL Player’s Association (NFLPA) is currently under federal investigation for allegedly holding secret meetings with NFL owners to discuss the future of the collective bargaining agreement. Confirmation of these investigations came after Mary Moran, the Director of Human Resources for the NFLPA, who is on forced administrative leave, filed a lawsuit claiming that she had been wrongfully removed from her job because she acted as a confidential informant in the investigation. Moran claimed she was placed on leave because she provided information about secret meetings between NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Houston Texans owner Roger McNair, and NFLPA representative Tony Vincent that took place without the knowledge of former NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw last year. The unauthorized meetings were allegedly conducted to give those NFLPA members influence within the NFL by providing the NFL a “toehold” within the union. The NFL personnel implicated all deny the allegations, stating that meetings were not illegal or secretive and that regular contact with the NFLPA has consistently occurred over the years, covering a wide range of matters.

With regards to Moran’s wrongful termination suit, the union may have viewed Moran as a factious employee who made “secret meeting” allegations in an attempt to disparage Troy Vincent, who had been accused of trying to stage a coup when he was running for executive director of the union following Upshaw’s death. (He was defeated by DeMaurice Smith).

Although the NFL is not implicated in the current collusion investigations, the allegations of unauthorized meetings could prove to be more costly for the NFL as an organization than the NFLPA. Because conducting unauthorized meetings hurts union members, the NFLPA, like the federal investigators, has every incentive to stop them from occurring. The existence of unauthorized meetings would thus create the biggest problems for the implicated rogue negotiators–it is almost certain the NFLPA would get rid of them, and they would be asking Moran for tips on how to pack up their desks and start a job hunt in the current economy.

Houston is forever coming close in Indy . . .
They'll break through again . . .

Sickening...just sickening over the Giants performance yesterday. Last in the NFL in redzone offense AND defense.

I just heard Larry Johnson got cut.

I was talking about DeMaurice Smith. Tony Vincent is not "in charge" Demaurice is the executive director of the NFLPA.

Really??? Not really surprised though but that took some balls.
