Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Bears deny shopping for coach, GM

How dare you make sense! You mean, the coach has to work with the players the GM puts on the roster? So overpaying for mediocre players, and not shoring up the O-Line is going to lead to problems offensively.

Three years ago, his team was in the Super Bowl. Is it really time to get rid of him?

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Report: 49ers dropping tampering charge

What the 49ers should drop is their unwillingness to switch to a form of the Spread Offense, you know, the kind that made Alex Smith look like the 1st pick in the draft?

Taking snaps under center isn't Smith's thing. Get in the shotgun formation, use Davis as a receiver, draft another wideout from one of the spread schools (Florida, Texas Tech, Michigan, etc), or trade for one.

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Rich Rod won't commit to QB for 2010

Why don't we give Rich Rod a little longer than two seasons to implement an ENTIRELY NEW OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY? At least with all of the bandwagon Michigan fans jumping off, there's more room for true fans.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: McNabb consoles Cutler

First McNabb lobbies to bring Vick in, and then spending a few minutes after the game with Jay Cutler. I thought McNabb was a giant dee-bag after he made his "black on black crime" statement regarding T.O. Perhaps he just wants to rehab his image, or he's a genuinely nice guy.

I just know that there are plenty of former NFL QBs who wish they had someone, anyone to talk to them, and help them through rough patches.

Posted Thursday November 19, 2009, About: Shockey: LeBron couldn't cut it in NFL

If you are truly a vet from 'Nam, I have all the respect in the world for you.

However, you're wrong about Shockey. His career has been marred by injury, but when he plays, he's a beast.

Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Another T.O. sideline rant?

I'm just happy that SOMEONE showed emotion. Some passion. SOMETHING. Yeah, T.O. has brought about his fair share of problems, but the man wants to win. Why else would he punish his body the way that he does to maintain his great physical shape? The guy is in better shape than all of us, even at 35 or however old he is. Can you blame the man for wanting to win?

Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Hall of Famers choose Manning over Brady

If the Patriots convert that 4th down, we're all sitting here today talking about how Belichick is a "coaching mastermind" who has "courage".

Posted Thursday November 05, 2009, About: Al Davis ready to fire Cable?

Best comment I've read.

Posted Thursday October 22, 2009, About: Largent: Zorn almost quit Redskins

I don't blame him. 'Skins are a sinking ship. Until Snyder realizes that real life is not the same as Madden, the 'Skins' on-field product will continue to be inferior. He needs to hire a personnel man and step back. Let that personnel man find the coach. Give them 5 years to turn the team around. Are you listening Jerry?

Posted Thursday October 22, 2009, About: Did Cowboys pass on Bennett trade?

The final sentence needs to be fixed. It should read, "Jones said that the offer was not made for one of the team's three talented, but injury-prone, tailbacks."

Posted Thursday October 22, 2009, About: Smith thought he'd be traded

They really should change the title to read "Smith PRAYED he'd be traded".

Posted Thursday October 22, 2009, About: Campbell not told he's starting

Perhaps Jason Campbell would have benefitted with consistency in coaching, as well as an offensive line to protect him. With that line, I doubt Manning (Peyton) or Brady could turn the 'Skins around.

Posted Monday October 05, 2009, About: Al Davis pondering new Raiders coach?

I love that you mentioned "The Shocker".

Posted Monday October 05, 2009, About: Prison guards blocking for Plaxico

In a country that is allegedly free, punishing someone who shoots themselves the same way you punish child molesters, serial rapists and murderers is a gross miscarriage of justice. New York was just cutting off its nose to spite its face. An earlier poster mentioned that Plax will cost the people of New York around $120K. This is far less than they'd have made off of the state income taxes from his pay.

They should have fined him. Even fined him $750,000, 5 years of probation, as well as 1500 hours of community service. But 2 years in prison for shooting yourself?

He was stupid and negligent. He even broke the law. But two years in prison is excessive. Especially when you factor in the fact that he was prosecuted under laws which really violate the Constitution.

In the First Amendment, Congress is the only party subject to it. The Founders neglected to place limits on the Second Amendment. Gun laws aren't Constitutional.

Posted Monday September 28, 2009, About: T.O. rips Rodney Harrison

Yup. Say what you will about T.O. the person, but T.O. the football player is second all-time in receiving touchdowns. Who is first? Jerry Rice.

Owens is also the only player in NFL History to score a touchdown against all 32 teams.

Let's look at Rodney. Repeatedly voted "League's Dirtiest Player". Consistently fined for his dirty play. Hmmmm...who is bad for the game?

Posted Friday September 25, 2009, About: Vols coach apologizes for off-color joke

I'm black, and thought it was funny. My caucasian wife found it amusing too. Hmmmm...maybe *WE'RE* racist.

I wonder if the pun of "off color" joke was intended.

Posted Thursday September 17, 2009, About: Are 49ers giving into Crabtree?

Yup. Brian Leaf was a horrible draft pick!

Posted Sunday September 13, 2009, About: Boldin losing support in Arizona?

Except that the owners are free to terminate those same "contracts". Larry Fitzgerald actually did the Cards a favor by restructuring his deal. He hit escalators in his rookie deal that would have given him over $16 million/yr in base salary for the final two years of it. The team certainly didn't want to honor that deal. So why shouldn't players try to get as much as they can?

They don't need to redo the guaranteed money or anything. Just put some performance based clauses in his contract, due to his injury history. The guy is a legit receiver. Let him earn more money.

Posted Wednesday August 19, 2009, About: Boldin still seething over contract

Because it's so easy for the team to prematurely and unilaterally end those same "contracts".

Posted Thursday August 13, 2009, About: Source: Crabtree won't sign until Sept.

He won't sign until September, but who is to say that the Niners will sign HIM?

I wish the Yorks would get gangsta like A.J. Smith. Make it punitive. Because at the end of the day, the agents and advisors work for CRABTREE. So they're following his orders. Make it hurt. Offer him 10th pick money...10th in the 2nd round. Play hardball with this chump.
