I am in sheer shock

I can't believe the Eagles signed Vick

Does that mean we can make a play for McNabb next year?

How will they use him?

So many questions

I think that may be a distinct possibility.  And I would welcome him. 

My only problem with McNabb is his McOwies.  He has a Mctendency to miss Mcgames due to McInjury.

Suddenly I'm hungry for a cheeseburger...I don't know why.



Tim Cady -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/14/2009 9:27:46 AM)

I really wish we would have signed Vick, now Childress will want to trade for him,cause Andy likes him.[&o] I really don't think I would turn down McNabb for next year, looking at the options, of course I would give Jeff George a look, like the story in late July said, why would you sniff around 39 going on 60 Farve and not at least give George a looksy?

We will see tonight if Sagvaris Jackenfels can be a quarterback. I at this point think that TJack needs spiritual leader and Sage needs to stay within the scheme. Hopefully one will stand out to the point where the choice is obvious.

The NFL let Leonard Little come back and play and he killed a woman. 

Manslaughter Conviction

After leaving a birthday party drunk in 1998, Little crashed into and killed Susan Gutweiler in St. Louis, MO. When tested, his blood alcohol level measured 0.19 percent, a level that exceeds the statutory level of intoxication of 0.08 in the state of Missouri. Little received 90 days in jail, four years probation and 1000 hours of community service.

Second arrest

Six years later, in 2004, Little was again arrested for drunk driving and speeding.[5] The probable cause statement filed by police said Little had bloodshot and watery eyes, smelled of alcohol and failed three sobriety tests. [6] Because of Little's 1999 guilty plea to involuntary manslaughter in his drunken-driving crash case, prosecutors charged him as a persistent offender. This made it a felony case.[6] Little was acquitted of driving while intoxicated, but was convicted only of the misdemeanor speeding charge.

Kyle Orton is blowing chunks so far vs. SF. 



Todd M -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/16/2009 10:30:40 PM)

Vick came off coached in the 60 minutes interview. I still hate him and question his intentions.

BUT....

I'm finally ready to let this go. Why? Because I've come to believe that enough people have their thumb on this. He HAS to keep it honest. He has no choice but to play nicey nice and do the work. And in the end a couple of pennies will be put in the tray - which beats the alternative IE; everything going wrong for Vick and him looking to take his frustrations out on something.



John Childress -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/16/2009 10:55:05 PM)

Whether he is sincere or not - we may not know.  What is important is that his actions become and remain one of a good citizen.  He has paid his price for his crime.  Now he must continue to walk the walk.

Wow [:-]

Raiders head man reportedly gave and Assistant D Coach (Hanson) a broken jaw, during an "argument".
These guys might become my old 2nd-favorite team, da "Raiduhs" yet. [;)]
This is Tooz/Alzado type stuff.



Russell Timmons -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/17/2009 9:57:23 PM)

I have to admit, with the addition of Gruden, it's refreshing to hear Monday Night Football actually talk about....football!  Imagine that!



So.Mn.Fan -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/18/2009 3:09:30 PM)

Put me down for liking the new crew, too.
I think Grudens a great addition.
I'd rather see him coaching the Vikings, but I digress.
He did a nice job of starting slow and getting a feel for when and when not to join in.
Pretty professional sounding crew so far. Nobody feeling pressure to be funny or compelling.
What a concept.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/18/2009 3:42:29 PM)

Gruden's better than what they've had for sure.  He finally dropped that fake ass "tough guy" act.  He always reminded me of the nerd in grade school who was just a spazz.  He got all worked up for no reason and used it as a defense mechanism.  When in fact, when he finally cooled down, would get his ass beat all day on the playground.  [&:]

Boy can he pick em....



Lynn G. -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/20/2009 8:35:41 AM)

He's just a guy who feels his mission is to save lost souls. The guys that are walking the straight and narrow don't need him. It's like a missionary who feels his purpose is to convert the heathen. A missionary doesn't spend his time in a church in the suburbs - he goes to remote locations to counsel those who he feels are lost and alone.

Dungy is doing his life's dream.

and probably knows Harrison pretty well after coaching for a number of years too.

Plaxico Burress will go to jail for two years.

http://www.startribune.com/nation/53802322.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUUT

That means that he can play for the Eagles in 2012, right?

Well, let's not go overboard here.  He didn't shoot any dogs.  Unless you consider him a dog.  Moron did this to himself...literally. 

He gets two years in jail ...but before people go off all half cocked about him going to jail for shooting himself...he's going to jail for  possesion of an illegal firearm. 



Lynn G. -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/20/2009 11:16:14 AM)

Not just possession - but bringing a loaded gun into a public place.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/20/2009 11:53:51 AM)

I'm not sure what to say about a country  that sends a guy to 30 days in jail for running over a guy and killing when he's blitzed vs. 2 years for a guy who accidentally shoots himself.  



Lynn G. -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/20/2009 11:58:52 AM)

I agree Jeff. That 30 day sentence will NEVER sit right with most of us. A true head shaker.

Though I agree Donte Stallworth deserves a harsher sentence...but once again:  Plaxico is not going to jail for shooting himself.

Good job Lynn, gutsy post, I never thought of it this way, but I can see your point.



John Childress -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/21/2009 6:59:54 AM)

Two preseason games, two fumbled punts for Jeremy Maclin.



So.Mn.Fan -> RE: RE:NFL News (8/21/2009 10:45:24 AM)

Pretty wild to see Ochocinco kicking for the Bengals last night.
They claim (and he showed) that he is damn good at it.
