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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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