Speilman says Ponder will be here next year. God, why?

Guess he wants to see if Norv can polish a turd.

Or maybe he sees that Ponder has only had one full season as a starter and has enough tools that he may be able to be coached up.

I think I just puked all over myself.

Sweens, nevermind, you're right: Ponder has to go yesterday.

I can just see Norv studying film: "Hmmm...here's a play that's unusual...it looks as if Ponder has read the field correctly and made the right decision. Yeah, he missed the check down guy by three yards, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING HERE TO WORK WITH!!"

More like...he's getting paid $3mm and counting against the cap whether he's here or not. So, he'll be here.

If he takes a meaningful snap in the regular season then something went terribly wrong.

I'm pretty sure they can cut him and not have to pay him. They just have to do it before he is due any bonus money.

Norv has probably been around long enough to know that it is possible for some players to improve.

If think some guys get more chances to improve if they aren't stupid jerks.

No kidding
The thought of anyone seeing anything positive in Ponders body of work so far .... boggles my mind.

Well, one positive...we got a really good long look at what a really shitty QB looks like, and how it can set a franchise back several years. Also, he managed to make Matt Cassell look like a good QB.

There's some positivity for ya!

CBS brings on Tony Gonzalez, drops Dan Marino, Shannon Sharpe in shakeup

No Shannon Sharpe? Who gets the honors of saying the dumbest things on Sunday now? Bradshaw?

How could you understand what he was saying to know if he was saying something stupid?

His mouth would be moving. From there it's all just inference.

Has anyone else checked out the cameras of the destruction of the MOA field? I find it interesting watching them tear it down and to the right you see them putting in the pilings for the new one

Wow, don't know what rock I've been hiding under, but I never knew she married Joe Namath. She was always at or near the top of female sports personalities for me, but finding this out does have to knock her down a notch.

According to Wikipedia, she's married to Eric Brady. I think that was a reference to Namath hitting on her on national TV.

OK, I feel better about not hearing about it, but I clicked on a picture of her and Namath in wedding attire and ended up on a spoof site without realizing it was a spoof. She just went back up a notch.
