So apparently there's video surveillance of Pacman Jones biting a stripper and punching a bouncer at that stripclub his boy shot up in Vegas. That's not going to end well.

Oops mixed it up, he punched a stripper and bit a bouncer. Obviously the more manly way.

Well, history has shown that even with a shitty coach coming in that some teams can keep it together for a few years. The Herm Edwards/Bill Parcells Jets, the Jimmy Johnson/Barry Switzer Cowboys, The Mike Holmgren/Mike Sherman Packers, and the Tony Dungy/Jon Gruden Bucs.

Yeah, but in how many of those situations did the team see practically a complete coaching staff change like the Chargers will see? I didn't pay close enough attention to those switches then to remember. But I think several of them kept some key coaches.

Well then, what's going to happen with the Steelers?:P

Steelers were 8-8 last season though. If their transition occured right after SB40, then the situations would be similar. Plus, even if Cowher stayed, they were still going to lose Whiz and/or Grimm.

What do think has to happen for next season to be considered a success for Tomlin?

I was thinking minimum 17 victories, destruction of Pats at Heinz field (where Cowher stank it up in the playoffs), and a Superbowl win.

P.S. Gotta love the deep ball!

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- Jerry Porter is ready for a new start with the Oakland Raiders.

After a difficult 2006 season when he clashed with coach Art Shell and rarely got on the field, Porter announced Wednesday he is changing his uniform number from 84 to 81 in order to put last season behind him and get off on the right foot with new coach Lane Kiffin.

"For me the new number represents a new start, a new beginning and new attitude," he said in a statement released by the team. "I've had multiple meetings with coach Kiffin and I am very excited about the direction of our team and especially our offense. I can't wait to get started."

uhm, somebody should let Jerry know that 81 with the Raiders might be off limits

if they let him have it thats pretty damn sad.
 
From a radio interview with the club's owner (via NFLUK.com):

1. Pacman's entourage consisted of Pacman, his publicist, his girlfriend, and the shooter. Pacman ABSOLUTELY knew the shooter. He came in with him earlier in the evening, drank with him, then returned to the club w/ him and drank with him again. They talked and laughed and drank all night. This is all on surveillance camera.

2. Pacman has a ritual where he likes to throw a ton of money in the air, then make the girls wait until he tells them it's okay to take it. Well, one girl was from out of town, and started picking up the money. Pacman grabbed her by the hair, and slammed her head into the stage. This is on camera.

3. A bouncer, Aaron something or other, who was trained in mixed martial arts restrained Pacman. Didn't hit him, just restrained him. Pacman's girlfriend then smashed a champaigne bottle over his head. At this point Pacman wrestled free, chased the dancer down whom he's already assaulted, and then punched her in the face again. This is all on camera.

4. Pacman was restrained again, this time, he bit the bouncer on the leg and took a significant amount of meat out of the leg. Another bouncer restrained him. He then yelled in front of at least 5 witnesses "Okay, now I'm going to kill you" to the bouncer. This is all on camera.

5. Pacman, his publicist, his girlfriend, and the shooter then left the club. The drove the car down the street, the door opened back up, then the shooter ran back down to the front door of the club where he shot the two bouncers and a female patron at point blank range. The first guy, Aaron, was shot in the chest and shoulder. He was released yesterday. The second bouncer, was shot through the hand (he instinctively lifted his hand to protect himself) which shattered his wrist and forearm completely, and shot him in the chest which severed his spinal chord. This bouncer is in critical condition in a drug induced coma. He will never walk again. He has a wife and baby at home. Then there was an innocent bystander (female) that was shot.

The Ravens have decided not to use the franchise tag on Adalius Thomas and will allow the All-Pro linebacker to become an unrestricted free agent on March 2, general manager Ozzie Newsome said today.

Although they chose not to tag Thomas, the Ravens will try to keep him once he hits free agency.

"We will continue to have negotiations with Adalius," Newsome said. "I don't know what the market will bear out for him."

Ah, good news. I expect to see Danny Snyder opening his wallet for a utility man like Thomas. Welcome to Washington, Adalius! :D Your commute won't be much longer and you'll be on your way to getting your very own SuperBowl ring!

lets analyze that list
layers that are good:
Roy Williams(agreed)
Kevin Jones(i said consistant. he did good his rookie year, then put up the big squadoosh the next two years)
Dan Campbell (Overshadowed in Dallas cuz of Witten)(oh yeah. his 300 yard season makes him AWESOME)
Casey Fitzsimmons(71 yards FTW!)
Dominic Raiola (Probowl Center on any other team)(just cause he is the highest paid non pro-bowl center doesnt make him one on another team. but ill give you this one just for the sake of argument)
Corey Schlesinger(i refuse to call him a FB a good player unless he is putting up some kind of numbers or hitting the pro-bowl)
Mike Furrey (How many other NFL teams had 2 WRs with 100 catches each? And how many had Kitna throwing to them? )(Ill give you this one also, even if its going against my consistency rule)
Ernie Sims(Did ok, but lets see what he does next year)
Boss Bailey(always injured)
Cory Redding(overlooked him. good DT)
Shaun Rogers(Injured/Steroids hamper him)
Dre Bly(Good cover, but didnt play like he did when he was a ram
Daniel Bullocks(no)

Ok, so 5 good players on the lions outta 53.
Click to expand...
:lol

You don't have a clue what you're talking about. I'm only gonna address the players we really disagree on. I have a feeling you haven't seen tape of any one of these guys or seen them on the field. That being the case, I'm also going off the assumption that you went to look up stats and based on that you're trying to gauge how good these guys are or will be. You can't do that.

-Daniel Bullocks- Solid safety that will prove his mettle in his sophomore season after having a year to grasp the Tampa 2 that Marinelli brought in.
-Dre Bly has played like he did when he was a Ram. Two years ago he was leading the NFC in picks til he got hurt. Last year he only had 3 picks in the Cover 2 scheme which he isn't suited for and that's obviously why the lions are letting him go.
-Shaun Rogers wasn't on steroids. He tested positive for Ephedrine. There's a world of difference between the two and if you don't know the dif then you shouldn't talk.
-Boss Bailey... yeah, always injured. :lol But still solid when he's not.
-Ernie Sims lead the team in tackles his rookie year. If it wasn't a sweet year for rookie LBs he would have stood out more.
-Schlesinger is sweet and won't be on the FA market long. Easily one of the top blocking backs in the league and has awesome hands out of the backfield.
-Kevin Jones is awesome each year until he gets hurt. This year he had Brian Westbrook type numbers until he broke his foot, and the year before was under a horrible offense. The proverbial "sophomore slump". If he's healthy he's a top 8 back in the league, top 5 under Martz offense.

Listen. They're the Lions, ok? They're not phenomenal at all. Not on any level (Other than MAYBE RB and WR). But in 2 years they'll be contending for a playoff spot again, provided Millen doesn't get fired (which would shitcan Marinelli, too, which would destroy the progress he's making.)

The type of progress you have to look for with the Lions isn't gonna be seen in the win-loss column right away. It's like a story my buddy tells me. He took a class at our college that was called "Advanced Football." It was taught by the head football coach, and he had just been hired from a successful program. One day they were watching tape and he tells my buddy, "People have no idea how bad this football team is." Then proceeded to show a kickoff where nobody even stayed in their lanes. The coach goes "These guys can't even stay in their lanes on kickoff. Their very basic skills- 3 point stance, catching, throwing, tackling-- is all wrong."

Well, that's like the Lions. Everyone dismisses them as plain ol' bad but you don't have a proper appreciation for how utterly bad they were under Mooch. Marinelli literally is trying to rebuild a football team. Progress is being made but it's gonna take another year before it really shows in the wins column, unfortunately. This isn't a team where the pieces were in place. The pieces were not and still aren't in place for anyone to take this team anywhere. But we've got a good core group of guys that we can build around, and eventually we'll get there. Those guys I listed are the guys that, more or less, we're going to try to build around.

Except Shaun Rogers and Dre Bly. Both have been told they can seek a trade :lol

Lets say Pacman was a free agent while this event happened.

"Hey! Let the man live his life!"

id like to have shaun rogers. i love bly, but i think we dont need him as much. tye hill future.

there isnt much in the free agent market, so hope scotty uses the draft picks wisely.
 
A couple of readers tell us that ESPN's Sean Salisbury was on Thursday's NFL Live taking sample Wonderlic questions, and that he flat-out screwed one of the answers up. And didn't realize it.

The question: A boy is 17 years old and his sister is twice his age. When the boy is 23, how old will his sister be?

Salisbury spouts off "46," when the right number was 40. And, apparently, Salisbury bragged after the segment that he had answered all of the questions correctly.

Maybe he meant to say forty-chew. (Thanks to the reader who suggested that one.)
