Why is that a surprise? Sirius has the contract to exclusively broadcast NFL games.
 
Last I checked games were broadcast locally. Its not exclusive to Sirius. I dont see why that same bullshit rule doesnt apply to them either. Fucking NFL.
 
No i'm just trying to get your slackers to get a radio. Nothing like taking a drive and listening to any game you want.
 
If I'm in a car when there's pro football on, I'd be too pissed to enjoy a radio broadcast.

It also comes in handy in these type of situations. It's not only NFL games, you'll love the NFL Radio station too. Tiki and Ronde Barber, Keyshawn Johnson, and Madden have weekly shows :)
 
VICK SPIN MACHINE CONTINUES TO CHURN

In the wake of the Falcons' decision to demote former starting receiver Dez White to the bottom of the depth chart, league insiders are saying that it's just the latest example of the in-house efforts to excuse quarterback Michael Vick's flaws by placing blame on other players.

As one league source told us, "Mora can promote every f--king receiver he wants, and he can go back in time to get Raymond Berry, Jerry Rice, Lynn Swann, and Steve Largent. It wouldn't matter. Vick still sucks at throwing the football consistently. All they are doing down there is making more excuses for the fact that he just isn't that good of a passer."

Judging by his brothers' performance last night, it's in the blood. ~130 or so yards passing, 3 INTs, 100 yards rushing and a TD on the ground. :lol

The best QB on the roster is riding pine.

If people don't know what they are talking about they should shut the fuck up. Dez White has played in 3 games and only caught 2 passes. He dropped 2 potential TD passes last week that hit him in the numbers and hands. On one pass from Vick the ball went over his head because he stop running on the route at one point. He is playing terrible. He didn't do shit when he was at Chicago, so don't give me that quality receiver crap. The only thing he is good for is blocking.


As of right now we have the same receiver set starting that Schaub had to work with in the NE game. Let's see how the passing game fairs now.
 
Damn where in the FUCK did all the Vick hate come from? Did I miss something and the Falcons became even a halfway mediocre team without him?

I'd trade every passer on the Lions roster for his supposed nonpassing ass. The guy's a winner period. As long as he's on the field the Falcons have a chance to beat anyone.
 
"When are we going to start talking about when Peyton Manning is going to start doing what Mike Vick does?" Mora said. "Let's flip it. The guy wins games, and that's the role of a quarterback, to win games."

In that case Manning is still the best quarterback. :lol

And Marcus is the better pocket passer.

I have no clue why there is so much hate on Vick lately, it's kinda like the hate for Vince Carter, ok the boy will never be Jordan, nor Jordan light, but he has some skills that cannot be denied and his ability to jump out of gym has actually helped in his game ( changing shots, drawing fouls etc ). I watched that VA Tech and noticed Marcus and saw one thing, he throws righty...and yeah one more thing...another WIN for the Vick clan.

Do you really want to go down the road of comparing Vick to Carter? Vince Carter is hated because he gave absolutely no effort in Toronto. He didn't give a damn and didn't try to pretend to give a damn. He's hated because he left and all of a sudden he was an all-star worthy player again. That's why Vince Carter is hated. It's not even close to the same as Vick.

The Vick hate is simply backlash from all of the credit he gets, when he's not in the top half of the league's passers. The fact is that he is an absolutely horrible passer, and wouldn't be on most rosters if he couldn't run like he does. But he does run like he does, and he does change the game, and he sure as hell helps his team win games.
 
The Falcons need to utilize Finneran more. He's so underrated. Jenkins is starting to show some potential, but he still can't come up with a lot of catchable balls. Dez White is terrible.
 
Im starting to think Owens = Dominique Wilkins. Owens puts up big numbers but he had no impact on our points per game, or our team in general. We scored about the same ammount without him in the years before his arrival. We got to the superbowl without him. I seriously hope he gets cut after this year, there is no reason to make Mcnabb deal with that crap.

Bill Simmons' Week 7 Picks are up, but the highlight is his Maddox intro

After five years of writing this NFL column, I'm lodging an official protest.

Every week during the season, I bang out my research on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, watch all the relevant shows, grab a post-"Survivor" coffee and write until the wee hours of Thursday night. That's my routine. And over the years, I came to grips that things can change from Friday morning (my last chance to change a pick) to Sunday morning (when games start on the West Coast). Six or seven times a year, I'll get screwed by a late pregame injury or an unforeseen weather report. I'm fine with this.

But I'm drawing the line with last week's Tommy Maddox debacle. On Sunday morning, right around 9:48, my daughter and I were watching the pregame shows when we saw a chilling graphic flash on the bottom of the screen: "MADDOX TO START FOR STEELERS."

Now ...

You know how I feel about Maddox. During the 2002 season, when the Kordell Stewart Era was threatening to cause riots in Pittsburgh, Maddox assumed the quarterback job and played out of his mind -- including a 473-yard game against Atlanta -- before nearly getting paralyzed by an awkward hit against the Titans in mid-November. He's never been the same. Not even remotely. To be honest, I didn't even know he was still in the league. When Roethlisberger was injured last week, Chaz Batch was supposed to start for Pittsburgh. I'm fine with Chaz Batch -- you can win with him, his Detroit years were better than anyone remembers, and he won't single-handedly kill you. So I picked the Steelers giving three to the Jags, never imagining ...

"MADDOX TO START FOR STEELERS."

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat????? Maybe it was too late to change the column, but I still had a chance to take the Jags in my picks league ... so I threw my baby in her Baby Einstein Activity Center (she started crying, but whatever, this was important), turned on my laptop and waited for Windows to load. At 9:54, I was online. At 9:55, I called up ESPN's "Pigskin Pick'Em" site, which hosts our league and was loading slower than usual.

Suddenly I realized something: There were probably 3 million people online right now who saw the Maddox flash and scurried online to change their pick. This was horrible. Who would have ever thought that Tommy Maddox could potentially crash ESPN.com? Finally, at 9:58, the site loaded and I changed my pick with two minutes to spare -- although the baby was throwing a full-fledged Cowher-like tantrum in her Baby Einstein thingie and needed another 20 minutes and a right breast (not mine) before she calmed down.

How did this turn out? If the Steelers-Jags game was the Pitt-Aniston marriage, Maddox would have been Angelina Jolie. He single-handedly changed the course of the game. It was unprecedented. Forget about the interception TD in overtime that lost the game, or the preceding fumble that squandered a certain game-winning field goal, or the other two interceptions, or all the other terrible plays he made ... near the end of the fourth quarter, he threw another potential game-losing interception that a Jags linebacker dropped on his way to the end zone. Meanwhile, Bill Cowher was standing on the sidelines frantically pressing the RESET button on his PlayStation to no avail.

Here's the point: If this ever happens again -- and by "this," I mean, "I pick the Steelers on Friday, and over the next 48 hours, we come to find out that Maddox is starting the game" -- let's make a gentlemen's agreement that my pick switches to the other team. And I don't care if the other team is the Sex Cruise Vikings, the Dead Man Walking Texans, you name it. He made my baby cry, he made Steelers fans cry, he nearly made me cry. I'm never, ever, ever, EVER getting stuck backing Tommy Maddox again. We're calling this the "Maddox Corollary."

Five other quarterbacks qualify this season: Jonathan Quinn; Chad Hutchinson; JP Losman; AJ Feeley; and, of course, Mr. Jamie Martin. If any of them are announced as the starter for a 2005 game after my picks column is handed in, the pick switches to the other team because of the Maddox Corollary. I can't have this happen again.

So in your opinion, Randall Cunnigham, better than Vick will ever be?

Bill Simmons understands my pain. Now, as long as Joey Porter makes Carson Palmer understand my pain this Sunday, all will be good.

Also, fuck you Wilma. I was at work and then out and forgot to put in my yahoo picks and now I've no chance of competing. Fucking deadlines changing without warning. God damn you, hurricane!


From Tulsa reader Dwyane Davis: "If I were running the PA system for an opposing NFL team, I would play the Love Boat theme music everytime the Vikings did anything." Dwayne, you're officially the funniest person in Tulsa.

(Which raises a bigger question: Imagine if the Eagles finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs ... but the Bears win the NFC North with a 5-11 record? Would that be 10 times worse than the 2005 Padres debacle, 20 times worse or 50 times worse?)

awesome lines from the simmons article:
"During the fourth quarter of the Giants-Cowboys game, Eli unveiled the Eli Manning Face for about 15 minutes ... then it went away and he turned into a young Tom Brady down the stretch. But it was fun to see the Eli Face again -- all that was missing was the Chargers hat and the awkward handshake with Paul Tagliabue."

"My favorite part of the Joey Era is when they come back from commercial during Lions games and an assistant coach is showing him those overhead pictures with a "How did you not see they were in Cover 4?" look on his face, and Joey is on the defensive like a 16-year-old kid who can't explain why there are eight Heinekens missing from Dad's fridge, and the cameras just show them arguing for five seconds. That kills me. "

"Wes Welker, Rock Cartwright and Boss Bailey ... those sound like three of the characters in "Brokeback Mountain." There's no way those are real names. Why isn't anyone investigating this? The "Madden" engine has been making up names for real NFL players all season and nobody cares."


...yeah... lions are getting worse, if that's possible.
 
priest did his thing this week... thats what I am talking about... i am pissed i couldnt watch it, but seeing the highlights gave this soon to be eventful night a much appreciated kickstart!!!!
 
Ricky Williams is making me money. Sweet.

Last week I bet my obsessed-with-Dolphins friend that Stephen Davis would get more yards then Ricky Williams. Won that one. This week I bet him Priest Holmes would get more yards in a single carry then Ricky would get the entire game. I can't wait to collect. :lol
