Lets hear it for the Iggles

Even Norv Turner can't slow down the Charger's run to the Super Bowl Title this year! Yet I guess the colts, pats, bengals, broncos, ravens and that lowly nfc conference may.

if im not mistaken the Pats play the Chargers fairly early on in the season, that should be a really nice match-up right out the gate.

briggs signs one year deal (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7059220)

he must have realized that sitting out wasnt a good idea, plus isnt there a rule where a player cant be hit with the franchise tag more than a few times ??

Adrian Peterson is the highest paid RB in the NFL. He's also never played a game. Awesome.

[Snoogans]

I love to hear shit like that. What can you possibly be thinking as a teammate of someone like that, when you busted your ass for 5 years to make the pro bowl and dont get what this kid does. He wasnt even a number 1 pick

[TheMojoPin]

The Bears are still awesome, likely even better than last year.

It's basically coming down to Rex. 2nd full year for a QB is make or break.

[Snoogans]

I cant wait to see who fucks up in more big spots, Eli or Rex. Both kid toucher names

[cougarjake13]

couch signs a 2 year deal with the jags, the guy hasnt played in 3 yrs

good for him thou


couch signs with jags (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AolEelWYvZ256dAbkGVqvlk5nYcB?slug=ap-jaguars-couch&prov=ap&type=lgns)

[HBox]

I cant wait to see who fucks up in more big spots, Eli or Rex. Both kid toucher names

Eli is mediocre. Rex redefines what it means to fail. No comparison.

[Snoogans]

Yea but eli never had the ups. Last year, Grossman alone won me a good 5 fantasy games before losing me about 7, one of which i was up 14 with only him left and he put up a -20

I still hate Eli more

[TheMojoPin]

Eli is mediocre. Rex redefines what it means to fail. No comparison.

Are we still beating this into the ground? Yes, when Rex fucked up, it was usually epic. He was, however, good much more often than bad and out of those "good" starts was great more often than not. Do I really need to pull all of his QB ratings? Look how many he got that were 85 and up.

Rex has at least shown he can be phenomenal. Eli has never shown he can be more than generic at best. I'm not saying Rex won't totally flame out this season, but people acting like last year was nothing but a disaster aren't paying attention.

[Snoogans]

it was a disaster for me who lost a game that i had locked up by 14 points cause rex put up a -20

[cougarjake13]

it was a disaster for me who lost a game that i had locked up by 14 points cause rex put up a -20

man how the hell did he put up a -20

like 4 ints and a few fumbles ???

[Snoogans]

i think it was 2 fumbles and 5 pics

[TheMojoPin]

i think it was 2 fumbles and 5 pics

What do those missed snaps count as?

[Snoogans]

a botched snap is a fumble

And me shitting my pants.

you guys are like philly, except you arent even as good at losing

[cougarjake13]

you guys are like philly, except you arent even as good at losing

so isnt that like a compliment ???

[Snoogans]

not when it means you will never win a championship. They arent totally like philly cause the bulls are actually good.

[cougarjake13]

not when it means you will never win a championship. They arent totally like philly cause the bulls are actually good.

but the sixers have been good as well, and they won championships

maybe not as recently as the bulls but


so i'm failing to see your point

[Snoogans]

i mean right now. The bulls have a shot at winning soon. No one in philly is gonna win for a long time. Trust me

[cougarjake13]

[Ritalin]

Why doesn't Brady Quinn have is ghey ass in camp? I just read an article about his holdout, about how he wants top 10 draft pick money even though he dropped like a stone to number 22. Who the hell is he kidding? Mark my words, Brady Quinn equals Rick Mirer.

(And that just reminds me how much I STILL hate that harelipped Dave Wannstadt for screwing up my Bears. That fucking loser.)

Are you guts sure Peterson's salary? I thought there was a rookie cap.:glurps:

[sailor]

Are you guts sure Peterson's salary? I thought there was a rookie cap.:glurps:

no rookie cap, but players generally fit into slots (1st pick gets x dollars, 2nd get x-y, third gets x-y-z, etc). which is what the issue with brady quinn is, he was drafted 22nd and wants to get paid like a top-10 slotted player. btw, peterson has a 5 year 40.5 mill. not insane, and who knows what is guaranteed?

You don't understand. Pennington looks to be done for a while, if not the season.

Pretty sure his career with the Jets is over. Even if he's alright, if Clemens gets a few games in, there's no way they are going back to Ol' Noodle Arm.

Doctor: Paralysis likely for Bills TE after spinal surgery (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/09/10/bc.fbn.bills.everetthur.ap/index.html?eref=si_nfl)

is unlikely to walk again, the surgeon who operated on him said Monday

he cautioned that Everett's injury was life-threatening because he was still susceptible to blood clots, infection and breathing failure.

I hate stuff like this. The guy is only 25 years old! Good luck, fella.

It's a sad story, but you hope that they intentionally lowered the expectations so if he does make a recovery...

i.e. it's better to say "paralysis is likely" and he walks again in six months rather than saying "I don't know" or "He'll be ok" and never walk again.

That being said, that's the PR side of me talking. Unfortunately, I think the Doctor's assesment is correct.

[patsopinion]

holey shit!
did u see that
49ers!
come from behind victory in the final min of the game the future of the franchise puts the team on his back and wills the team to victory
thats what the big money is shelled out for
yes its the cards but holey bejeesus!

Hey When the Pats have thir Playoff and Division Spot Locked, good luck getting any points from them, Arizona players will be playing hard till Seasons End (either in playoffs or trying to make more $$)


They will get their Points, just not opening night on the Road

I did like Edg, He scored 20 Pts for me

:king:

[spoon]

I guess it's easy to see the power in the AFC hasn't really changed all that much (Indy, NE and SD). Perhaps the steelers and bengals will be in the mix, but my bet is it'll only be one of the two. The steelers look more well rounded, but they did play ESD's awful SB pick the browns. Not a fucking chance in hell.

Easy early picks are NE and Indy for their divisions, and some decent races in the others. In the AFC West SD and Denver should battle pretty late into the year with SD hopefully edging them out at least.

In the AFC North, it should be a battle with Pitt, Cincy and an aging Baltimore. By the end of the year I see the Ravens falling out of this due to age on D. Yet I have little faith in Cincy's D and there are some good question marks in Pitt. I'd have to lean toward Pitt overall here and Cincy finally getting into the playoffs with a WC spot.

The other WC spot will be decided very late by possible tie-breaker with TN, Buf and Denver. Out already by my accounts are NYJ, Oak, KC and Cleveland. Perhaps a last ditch effort can come from Baltimore and Jax, and surprising pushes are possible from Miami, Houston and Buf.

[TheGameHHH]

I don't own Leinart. I only needed 10 points out of Fitz, that's not asking too much of him. I blame Leinart for not being able to properly get the ball to him.

[citymedic27]

No wiseass, I heard that there is a chance of non paralysis.

This is certianly wonderful news to say the least. Here is one of the reasons that this outcome is happening.

He immediatletly started a therapy called Permissive hypothermia; where his core body temp was lowered to approx 90 degrees. Starting this therapy early is essential, b/c its like putting an ice pack on a bruise. It reduces the amount of swelling on the spinal cord, and therefore would possibily limit the extent of the paralysis. Im sure that this therapy along with steriods and surgery all had a hand in his care. This therapy is also used for patients that suffer cardiac arrest and are succusfully resusicitated.

....AND (according to USA Today - I know, but I'm out of town -) that cooling procedure was advocated by the paralysis research center founded by the Buoniconti family after the son Marc was paralyzed after a hit while playing for University of Miami.

Ralph Wilson - the owner of the Bills - contributed millions of dollars to that reasearch over the years, AND this tight end (sorry, I don't remember his name) played at Miami.

Sometimes it all comes together for good.

The Bills were alive late last year with a terrible start. However, the loss in the secondary will hurt but Lynch looks really good. I still don't see Baltimore being there this year and Buf should have beat Denver last week so it's not so crazy. You'll see.

Sucks to be a NY Team This Year

The Giants Defense may be the WORST of all time...

Green Bay isnt bad, but they arent good, 2-0 Doesnt fit them well, But Favreeereee has done the Job in not Fucking Things up


Texans Looking Good, Schauby is throwing for touchdowns, this proves David Carr sucks Balls and should be playing in the CFL soon.

I diddnt think the Panthers D is as good as Prior Years. Delohomme and Smith did what
they can to win thsi Game

Browns Showing up this Week

I fucking sat Jamal Lewis against Phishy this week, its why I'll be 1-1 in Fantasy Football

Steelers looking better than I thought, Week , Im Sorry but the Bills Suuuuuuck

Colts are still gr8 , Titans always give them a Problem in Tennesse

St. Louis is a Huge Disappointment, but this is how they started last year.

San Fran is 2-0, figured they can play well in the Depleted NFC, but they havent show me that they are a Contender Yet

The Saints Suck, Sorry No Hurricane to play for this year... Good Job Bucs, you still suck though

Jacksonville is very week, their defense will have to win games in order to be a Contender.

Falcons Blow, Some 1 should Thank Michael Vick while he is in Jail...


Rant over, i could have said alot more

Phillip Rivers sucks.

I gotta tell ya...it's good to be a Texans fan!

And NO ONE can ever accuse me of jumping on a bandwagon!

[PapaBear]

And NO ONE can ever accuse me of jumping on a bandwagon!
It's actually quite the opposite. I saw their locker room speech. The coach told everyone that Gvac was a new fan. Then the whole team started chanting "DO IT FOR GVAC!"

If I see these Parcells Coors Light commercials anymore I'm going to tear my eyes out.

since there's only one game a week there's no need to start a nfl tv title thread unless mojo gets upset again


so with that in mind

1. Colts are defending TV Title champions.
2. Colts defeat the Saints on 9/6 to retain the TV Title.



3. Colts defeat the Titans on 9/16 to retain the TV Title.

[underdog]

Emmitt Smith just informed me that San Diego is going to be the surprise team that will lose today and be 0-3.

It will be very surprising if they are 0-3 after today, seeing that they won the first game.

Favre just went to 418 career TDs....two short of that prick Marino.

Green Bay 10 - San Diego 7

[JimBeam]

Not sure if this was discussed earlier in the week but Mike & Mike were comparing Favre's legacy w/ the other great QBs of this era and one of them, I think Greenburg, had Marino ahead of Favre.

I'm not sure his logic. If Favre winds up w/ more TDs, more MVPs, already has more wins, and the Super Bowl ring how could marino be better ?

Now I don't think the more rings a guy has makes him better but when you compare a guy that does have one to a guy that doesn't, and the numbers are on par, the guy with the ring has to get the nod.

Marino never had a running back worth a shit. he had to do it all himself.

TD passes.

Oh, I thought he already passed it.

This is the depth of the rationale that makes Marino better than Favre? Come on folks...this isn't an argument....it's fanboy excuses.

[sailor]

mcnabb picked the perfect week to have an incredible game.

[JimBeam]

That argument that Marino didn't have a RB is as assinine as the one that claims that Emmit Smith wasn't that good because his O-line was the best.

Now people should be judged for " what ifs " as opposed to their actual numbers ?

When Mike & Mike went through the discussion they did mention that neither Marino nor Favre had a HOFer on offense w/ them.

The only nod they gave Favre was Reggie White but that's on the other side of the ball.

Marino still has passing yards on him. For the most part there stats are pretty similar.

[JimBeam]

So the fact that he has a 1 stat advantage makes him better ?

The consecutive games played streak alone makes Favre better than Marino.

Less INT's and more pass attempts(for now)

[Da Fish]

Well....

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/thegreenbaypackers/reg531.jpg

It's a team sport.

Notable quote from Bill Walsh, "Joe Montana was the product of a system, Dan Marino was a system."

He couldn't do by himself.

[JimBeam]

And most notably less championships.

Your argument that Marino didnt have the help doesn't explain how he got to a Super Bowl ?

Was the team randomly picked to go that year or did they play their way in ?

Incindentally who were Favre's Jerry Rice & Roger Craig ?

[epo]

Seriously though, Marino isn't even as good as Green Bay's second best all-time QB, Bart Starr...much less Brett Favre.

To Favre's credit Marino can't touch these tangible facts:

The NFL's only 3-time MVP
Most consecutive games started by a QB
Most wins by a QB
That elusive Super Bowl ring.

And he's on the verge of breaking Marino's career TD record.

What in the world even puts Marino in Favre's class?

[JimBeam]

Even if you compare non-football factors Favre's still the winner.

There's Something About Mary was 100X better than Ace Ventura.

Marino did a commercial for gloves to keep your hands warm ( nancy !! ) and I beleve Favre did one for a razor and/or shaving cream.

Dan Marino - "Ace Ventura"
Brett Favre - "There's Something About Mary"

That category is a push.

[TeeBone]

Whereas his career stats cannot compare to that of a Marino or Favre, I think we can all agree that Terry Bradshaw is the best former QB actor. (Please see the Cannonball Run movies)
