Even after Daunte was in a heated position battle with the likes of joey harrington and cleo lemon, I'd still like for the panthers to at least give him a work out. I never want to see a complete lack of depth at qb like last year again.

Do you hear that? Bowser is coming to kill you!!!

Well, when Culpepper is dumped, won't the Raiders sign him within minutes?

Probably so, which means they would draft CJ. Culpepper + Moss + Calvin Jackson= too much slingin and slangin to compute. Seriously, the only play they would EVER run is the Hail-Mary, even on first and goal. LOLpepper on the Raiders with those two would make Rex "**** it I'm going deep" Grossman, look like Jeff "**** it i'm checking down to a running back" Garcia.

Giants get Al Wilson from Denver pending physical.
Click to expand...
Deal is dead, no report why. Just that its dead. He either failed his physical, refused to the Giant's contract offer, or someone stepped in and one upped the Giants.
 
I swear if Detroit gets Al Wilson watch out for us. We got great young talent on the defensive side and a seasoned vet like Wilson in the middle will push us to the playoffs.

Ernie Sims + Al Wilson + Boss Bailey = :D

One Soul.

But David Carr has finally been released. A lot of folks say he's the one thats headed to the Raiders.

Kubiak and the GM are not ****ing around. They are making changes to be competitive next season. Hopefully it all works out. They already got my season ticket money, hopefully I get a better product on the field.
 
David Carr on the Raiders with THAT O-line? The O-line that gave up 11 sacks to the Seachickens?:lol :lol :lol Houston will seem like Heaven in comparison. But I've said many times, that the Raiders are ass backwards. Pass on Leinart and Cutler for Aaron Brooks, only to go to David Carr. WTF!?
 
Latest is that Wilson failed a physical and MG reported it was his neck.

He did get carted off on a stretcher in early December last season. He played the following week, though.

Related Giants news, Texans matched the deal for FB Vonta Leach.

EDIT:

:|

MG reports Texans HAVE NOT matched: http://blog.nj.com/ledgergiants/
 
I still cant believe we couldnt get atleast one friggin late round pick for Carr *sigh*

Oh well,atleast it's finally all over with.




Texans better f-ing match that offer on Leach.
 
Chris Redman has been signed by the Atlanta Falcons.

He's a former Louisville QB, though it should be noted that he did play under Petrino, who was his offensive coordinator in 1998 and 1999, so let the speculation begin!

No, seriously, if Chris Redman ends up the QB under any circumstance, Arthur Blank should fire all personnel.
 
I think Petrino, just wants to give him a shot at one of the backup QB positions. I know they are going to bring in someone else, a QB with more experience to backup Vick.
 
Damnit. This is going to sound off the wall to some of you, but I was hoping the Falcons would just sign some generic black QB. There's a very vocal minority of fans that hate the idea of us having a black QB, any black QB. As long as there's a white dude at that position on the depth chart, they're gonna be screaming for him to be put in.

A friend mine was hoping that we would sign Anthony Wright, Vick goes out for a game, and Wright comes in and throw 3 TDs and win the game for us and wanted to see if people would start yelling for him to become the starter over Vick. :lol I must say I would be curious about that myself.

Sorry Triumph, that doesn't work. Keep in mind Jacksonville has THREE black QBs and Leftwich and Garrard are constantly tore down for each other by the fans.....although Garrard doesn't get as much play with the fans after the whole Titans game.....

Oh yeah Jags sign Jermaine Wiggins to a 1 year/$1 mill contract. OFFENSE COMPLETE

Not a good one though....

Oh, and the Bears should sign Carr. He might play in a Superbowl!

I don't understand all the Vick haters... I mean the man plays qb AND rb, he cant run down the field and catch it too. Schaub throws 2 td and now the whole world thinks he's brett favre's illegitimate son.

Pfft, if Steve Young can do it, why can't Vick? :D

Their Madden playbook would consist of nothing but Hail Mary's.

Witness Describes Joey Porter Fight As Something Out Of 'Rocky'


On Tuesday, witness Dave Benz came forward, describing the fight as something out of a "Rocky" movie.

"They were throwing down," said Benz. "They must have each gotten in a good three or four swings. Then all of a sudden, the bigger guy who I found out later was Levi Jones, picked up Joey Porter and tossed him probably 10 feet like he was a rag doll."

Benz said there was about 10 seconds where people broke the fight up, but said Porter broke loose and went after Jones again.

"Joey Porter broke free and ran full sprint at Levi Jones and dove through the air at him like he was trying to tackle Ladanian Tomlinson. Took him down with a tackle, then the two of them got up. They were throwing fists again. It sounded like a 'Rocky' movie."

Benz said Porter later kicked Jones in the head, causing some bleeding.

Benz said the whole incident started when Porter confronted Jones while he was playing poker.

Porter signed a five-year, $32 million deal with the Miami Dolphins earlier this month.

"We will monitor the situation and refrain from making any further comment until we gather more information," Dolphins coach Cam Cameron said.

Wright said a written police investigation and report won't be complete until at least the end of the week.

Wiggins isn't that bad. He's aging, and he'll probably back up Lewis, but he can catch and jump pretty well. He won't get you YAC, but he was a great player for us.

He's no Kyle Brady when it comes to blocking, but on the plus side he's no Kyle Brady when it comes to the passing game either.
 
Falcons looking at Jeff George. Man, that's the ultimate solution if you don't want your fans demanding your starter be benched.
 
Wellington said:
Woah woah woah. I got that right away!

that's why I said fan! singular!

also, I figured Coughlin only approves of the old lady in that pic anyway. The younger ones might be too fun.

Bah, I'm not worried and besides he won't see the field because Vick's not going down any this season. :D

Rumors going around at PFT that Theisman is being replaced by Jaws on MNF. Atheists proven wrong again!

Brad Nessler and Dick Vermeil must join him if this happened. DO IT!

Since were on the subject, this must be reposted

FIVE *****

ESPN No. 2 team of Brad Nessler, Ron Jaworski and Dick Vermeil
Like lilies of the valley that raised their heads during the recent warm spell, only to fade into oblivion when the frosts came, they appeared only once. This was for Oakland-San Diego in week No. 1 as the second ESPN game, and the brilliance of their work only pointed out the insipid quality of the network's A team that had preceded them.

Nessler comes from college football, where they work at the job a lot harder, and he was smooth as silk as the play-by-play man. Vermeil and Jaworski? Well, it was like sitting in a team's film room watching a game with the coaches. Everything nailed perfectly on the first look, without benefit of replay, everything laid out without hype or cheapness. And the nuances they caught make you wonder why no one else can see these things.

Example: Randy Moss raises his arms in disgust because his quarterback, Aaron Brooks, has failed to see that he was open. And yes, he did look open at the time, and about 90 percent of network announcing teams would have pointed that out. Jaws nailed him in his tracks, telling us that the ball was already gone when cornerback Quentin Jammer dropped off his coverage on Moss, creating the impression that Randy was free. And Moss was merely doing a cheap trick to embarrass his QB. Yes! That's what is known as analysis.

Dick Vermeil (teaming with Bryant Gumbel) on NFL Network -- We saw him near the close of the season. I'm sorry it wasn't more often. How good? On just about every play you are told exactly what has happened ... "Griffith missed his block and Ware slipped in for the tackle" ... "Johnson didn't read the blocking and hit the wrong hole" ... "good job by DeAngelo Hall of getting a bump that disrupted the pattern." Everything on the first look. No hype, no hysterics, no plugging the superstars. Why can't they all do that? Because the production people really don't understand the excellence of this kind of work.

Even if just Jaws is added to the booth, I'm ecstatic. Jaws and TK can go back and forth comfortably on PTI so if they can bring that chemistry into the booth then the show will be that much better already. TK will be able to be himself without worrying about offending Theisman, and Jaws can do what he was born to do-- sit in the booth and break down the plays.

You mean we would have to watch MNF without Joe Theisman's man crushes and Tony K's corny ass jokes? Don't get me wrong I like Tony, but he doesn't really KNOW football to the point where can disect plays and bring up points in the gameplan etc.. He is there seemingly just for comic relief. And its like he never really has any points to make so he just tries to be funny.

Jaws would be an immediate upgrade. They should just STFU and let him talk.

Theisman SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS, and has since the SNF days. He'll get on a player or team's nuts, and will ride them the entire game, rationalizing in support of them. Also, the few times when hes not flat out wrong, and makes a valid point he'll milk the living shit out of that point. Its like "We get it Joe, the Steelers aren't blitzing enough and Manning has tons of time to throw..JEEZ".. but he'll keep bring that shit up every ****ing play.

They should only bring Theisman in when the Packers play, because his obession with Bret Favre=pure comedy.
