Overcoming Rites of Patches Can Make a Lethal of Matt Cackle

Emmitt Reporting - Can The Patriots Make the Playoffs?

Every quarterback early on in their car rears faces a set of obstetricians that will debt Herman whether or not they become a great quarterback. In my rack and pinion, Matt Cackle passed that test with lying coloreds. Yes, Matt Cackle is ready to take the hex step and become an elite Vassar.

Meanways, the Broncos defense is just consequently orbital. Orbital run defense. Orbital pass defense, especially with the injury to Champ Bay Leaf. I don’t know how this team hopes to heap face in the AFC when it is queer to everyone that they have very obvious floes.

It is sad to see in injury to Rodney Henryhan. The man has always been an Eva Mendes competitor and exudes readership his teams can police state. I think in the cloture we’re going to see many safely coming up in the league who have been greatly congruentsed by Rodney Henryhan.

Awesome stuff on Emmit, Sammy.
It's funny, because it's damn-near true.
A lot of his stuff you cannot make up.

I'm under-going an incredible realization right now ....
Watching Brett Favre's latest presser, and after watching several of his game this season already ...
I've realized it wasn't him that I can't stand, it was simply that he played in Green Bay.
I'm ok with him at this point.
Man, I love rivalries. As they always say ... it's the jerseys, man. Players change, passions for the colors are what stay strong.

You're a better man than I am Scott.

I still can't stand Brett Favre.

Yeah. I know, it's not like I'm buying a Jet jersey or anything, I'm just surprised how the temp gets turned down quickly when the enemy player is no longer on your enemy team. For me, anyway.
And I've been told (repeatedly) that I'm a grudge-carrying jerk. So I'm worried about you fine people.

I actually get what you mean. I would say my feelings have been reduced from loathing to hate, so he's making progress down the disdain meter.

And since the media doesn't seem inclined to talk about him every second sentence this season, that helps a bunch too.

It's Green Bay more than Favre, IMO.

If they hadn't started losing, they were set to annoint Rodgers as much, if not more than Favre. I just hate the Packers, period.

I see Brett Favre is back to being the old man the last 2 weeks with more picks than TDs

Don't let the media fool you (not you personally, I know you know).

His early success was based off of a boat load of luck and nice catches from his WR's. If that were any other QB the crews would have pointed that out.

i. Andre Johnson had a 41-catch, 593-yard October for Houston. That would translate to 164 catches and 2,372 receiving yards for a full season. This just in: You've got to mention Johnson with Randy Moss (who had his 800th catch Sunday) and Larry Fitzgerald among the elite wideouts.
8. I think this is what I didn't like about Week 8:
a. Brad Johnson looks awful, just awful. On consecutive throws in the second quarter against the Bucs, he threw balls right through the hands of Buc defenders. Lucky he wasn't picked on either of them.

Word is Daunte is close to signing in KC.

Too bad, I would have loved to have seen him in Dallas or New England on a 1 year deal

I've said it for over a year now; Andre Johnson is the best damn WR in football right now. The guy's a freak.

Fitz and Moss ain't too shabby either.

I'm trying to figure out how that happened. He's been the worst QB in football, not looking like he belongs holding a clipboard, but he carved up the J-E-T-S.

McAlister sheds some light on brewing NFL issue

New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister was among the first players identified in the recent rash of positive tests for violation of the NFL's steroids and related substances policy last week.

After Sunday's game in London, McAllister addressed the issue.

"We've been kind of going through this process for a while," McAllister said, according to the Associated Press. "I guess you guys just found out about it at this point. But whatever happens, that’s what’s going to happen.
"We’ve hired counsel," he said. "He’s going to do his job to kind of put the case together and however the NFL rules, that’s the way it will be.”

Despite the reports of a positive test for Bumetanide, a banned diuretic, McAllister contended that he didn’t violate league rules.

“You hate to put yourself in a situation like this because you not only play by the rules, not only these eight years that I’ve been here in the league but four years of college and four years of high school,” he said. “You always want to play by the rules, and that’s what we’ve tried to do, myself as well as other individuals. . . . We’ve done everything that we were asked to do, that the league has asked us to do."

McAllister added that "there's more to the story than just a couple of lines."

The other players named thus far are: Saints DE Will Smith, Saints DE Charles Grants, Vikings DTs Kevin and Pat Williams, and Atlanta Falcons DT Grady Jackson.

ESPN reported on Sunday that several of the players are considering a lawsuit against the manufacturer of “StarCaps,” a weight-loss supplement that allegedly does not disclose on its label the presence of Bumetanide.
A November 2007 entry on the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s web site disclosed that Bumentanide was found in the StarCaps product.

I guess this may explain KW's up and down performance this year with this crap weighing on his mind.

I love this:

Bollinger's mobility could be important against the Giants, who sacked Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger five times and intercepted four of his passes in Sunday's 21-14 victory. The Giants (6-1) have a league-high 26 sacks.

Bollinger? Mobility?

Iggit Galoots

Bard Johnson was done 3 years ago. 60.3 QB rating with THAT talent on his team!

Another team that should have at least worked out Culpepper.

Singletary may go down in flames as an NFL coach, but I'd sure as hell sign on for the ride.
